not wanting to say any of the stfu or mtfu type coments, but….

yes I subscribe It was taken out last month and I have not had my first copy yet, so I recon that I have as much if not more reason to whinge about not getting a discount/new toy or whatever.

but I wont

so is life

do you want a refund?

after the hoo ha in the last few months with the site being hacked I think it looks like they are just trying to get a bit more money in through the doors.

I am sure that when you renew your subscription you could ask for the new rate

halfords leeds have an orange p7 on display….

That is superb, my daughter is only 3 months, doesn’t stop you looking though does it….

iirc the swiss side, as above poster mentioned you have to pay about £25 if you hire from france

wow you must be really constipated ro

have some ex lax or something get it all out of your system and you will feel so much better

its like fight club isn’t it

its so much more fun when you don’t talk about it

😉

and make sure it is absolutely massive like all the other pictures on here so it an age to scroll through any post

matt

nice one
glad you enjoyed it

like the mint sauce ones you got with mbuk?

well what an excuse for the stw staff to plug the download service
ladies full suss bike review early last year
orange, kona, titus, trek, specialized (which was borked), and a couple of others that i can’t remember…

we reccomend the ladies kona

make it pre 1990 and you are on…

ahh perfect
well a perfect clash with the passporte du solei

I might be able to make the 5th…..

just a thought

the valves are being ripped out when filling because they are only really held in with the little collar on one side, i mean if you really wanted to you could tear them off with a pair or plyers couldn’t you

so why not use 2 of those little screwy collar things , one on one side of the rim one on the other, you could then tighten one up against the other

just a thought

same happened to me last sunday
why can’t you send them back for a refund/replacement?

interested in the bontranger strips though

I am an analyst for a massive Gas and Power company, that no one in the uk has really heard of,

as an asside have you noticed how many people are analysts these days.
there are loads in this office (but only 4 in the analyst team)

rochdale area? there is loads or hop over to holmfirth and there is loads there too

I think it is superb at the moment

might go back to lurking tomorrow tho

i think what marv is saying that your light lasted 1 ride
so £40 for 2 hours use
£20 per hour

my ayups have lasted 2 years
3 hours once a week for winter
(so shall we say 52 uses at 3 hours) so 156 hours
156 hours at £200

works out at £1.28 per hour

and that 2 lights

i still think the p7’s are a good idea, but it is always best to not throw maths arround

buttons?

nails?
screws?

don’t trust the surly lad behind the counter
the store manager assured me that there were none in stock

you arrive
book into the george or the holiday inn
and have a nice walk round, or possibly a nice ride round
there is a route up to the lake behind betwys, ask at bike betwys for a route guide

other than that, the marin will be a challenge for a first time out on the bike, If you have to do it (and she will hate the climb and she will tell you and the start climb is singletrack and there is no where warm to stop on the route and it is high and it is -5 in leeds tonight so god knows how cold it is)

it would be better to set off now and arrive tonight and wake up refreshed

I go riding with my wife all the time

our first romantic weekend was at coed y brenin, but she is hard as nails

just remember all the poor sods you see when you are riding round coaxing their girlfriends round

you are in a dangerous place at the moment
if she doesn’t like it she may see mtb as a pointless silly hobby therefore curtailing your journies out, or it is brilliant, but you must then ride at her pace… or you may have a missues like mine who is a nutter and loves hooning round on her full susser…. (and has more bikes than me)

holiday inn is nice

food is the big pub in the middle (can’t remember the name)

still a little worried about crush damage on the helmet

just remember
easy for you is brutal for non mtb ers, now it is bad enough when your mate who you took out riding is looking at you like you are a loony because you have just taken them on a ‘short 20 k ride’

but the wife is a different story, they can deny you all manner of necessities

BE WARNED, FIND SOMEWHERE REALLY EASY,MAKE SURE THEY ARE WELL WITHIN THERE COMFORT ZONE

ride beside or slightly behind her most of the time, so you don’t shoot off

DO NOT MAKE HER EAT YOUR DUST ON A CLIMB

she doesn’t necceserily care about the rebound adjustment settings on her forks, so a 20 min lecture on this is not needed

think of it as a romantic weekend with a little biking thrown in, not a biking weekend with a little romance thrown in.

this weekend could go pear

take care…..

matt

plus petrol

there is a store down south which has 5
and there are some in bangor and cannock
i can’t remember anything else sorry

oh crap
i think mine might be too big…
but i love it
i am 5’10/11, and have a medium

anyone want to swap….
it looks huge next to the wife’s 14″ and 13″ bikes

when i went in the Manager was adamant that there was no dirt worker in the building
she did look somewhat silly when i waled round the corner with it in my arms tho

don’t trust the shop staff, have a look in the jet wash section on the floor

ask them to look up the product code, it will then give a store location code (where it should be in the store, look on the store map, go there and buy it

(its what i did)

12 v pressure washer btw

hmm just a touch worried about having a big metal bolt above my head, kinda negates having the old helmet on there eh

go to bolton NOW

they have one there

if you are too slow
give the numptie the product code and ask them to do a search of the uk of stock levels

there is one in doncaster, one in barnsley

look in the jet wash isle (at the bottom) big white box) looks nothing like a dirt worker

(secretly wants to be there for that) 🙂

yes handlebar mount for seatpost, only issue is it keeps clacking my leg

interesting idea with the helmet mount

is it only the spare that has this problem?

there is a brilliant garage section on the us miata site (google miata garage) your question should be answered there

yes got loads done
end of the month is my most hectic time as it is when all the bills are produced….

and i have put some extra bits on my flexi market tracker calculator, which will make life a little easier next month

so all in all a productive week (and i have the coffee machine to myself)

I got mine yesterday from wakefield for £24 i believe there is one in Doncaster

the store manager said that there was definately not one in their store, so she was somewhat surprised when I walked round the corner with one.

hmm will have a play tonight and see what i can do to get it more stable

shame there are no instructions on the interweb/in the actual instructions

anyone know how they mounted it on the mag reviews?
