Have a look around local cash generators and pawn shops they usually have some lightly used bargins, my first guitar was an gio ibanez from cash generators for 60 pound and to be fair it had a nice action and neck and was great to get started.

Thanks for all the sugestions

Sounds like you’ve got it alo t worse than me donks

Lol I think it’s the dog who’s possessed

Thanks for the advice guys I’ll take it on board and just keep plodding away at it.

She seems fine alone just settles in her bed.

The only thing I’ve noticed is it tends to start if I’m the first one to get home and not my wife. Then she’ll constantly be like it for a few days

I do most the feeding and walking in a bid to make her associate me with good things. And the wife does any scolding for bad behaviour so I don’t have to raise my voice to her abe make it worse

I’m similar grew up around dogs and usually dogs are all over me like a rash. It’s a shame because she’s a nice little dog and I’m hoping we can turn it around

And i think the rp-2 had a pro pedal and fully open setting and the ctd has 3 settings climb trail and descend

As I understand it the drcv uses 2 air chambers but will only go into the second on big hits. I believe it was developed to be better over small bumps. It was a trek only thing tho. i had a drcv shock and fork on a 2013 trek fuel ex and quite liked em tbh.

Anybody compared the talas conversions to pikes?

Thanks mate, ill have a read of that.

Bb was my first thought, but fitted a new one to no avail

Ok thanks guys, I’ll check all that stuff.

No im running fox 34s. Somouk thats when it happens with me and tends to be worse in higher gears.

I use a speedglass 9002,ive had it 9 years and it hasnt missed a beat.

I use leisure lakes I Wolverhampton for most things and have always had good service.well stocked shop too.

The Armstrong lie and slaying the badger are both good but are documentarys.

thanks for the link zippy just had a read through that.

Ok cheers lads.i apreciate its not a race but i do want to put in the best time i can whilst still having fun.

Stalis in crete has a nice sandy beach. Kalamaki beach is also good in zante but is a 15 min walk from the resort.

I find that sometimes a week off can do you the world of good.

Theres a demo at cannock chase this sat n sun. Spesh trek lappierre orange santa cruz whyte and yeti are all there. Its being run by leisure lakes.

Ok thanks plecostomus.

Im suposed to be traveling over from the midlands on sunday to ride dragons back.take it itll be a waste of time?

Ive recently had the same feeling just before xmas.i went to my gp and he sent me for an ecg which came back normal.since the new year ive done 5 3 hour rides and it seems to have passed now.

I can only remember one drop on etd that couldnt be avoided and there was a couple of big gap jumps.i thought it was harder than dai hard tho. I enjoyed the reds the most.

Ive got a fuel ex 8 im 5’8 and ive got a 355 mm reverb with a 100 mm drop and find it bang on.

I ache definitely agree with you about grosean most improved driver this year by a country mile.

He didn’t give button a run for his money, infact hes been let go because he had a speed deficit to button that mclaren didnt think hed ever overcome.this magnussen kid is suposed to be something special though.

Im at bike park wales that day 🙁 will come to the next one tho.

When I was at school we went on a tour of Rugeley power station a couple of miles from cannock chase.dont know if they still do tours tho.

I ache I have the thicker version of those and rate them.feet are usually bone dry after a ride.

Can anybody turn up to t highest ese things as id quite like a pootle round the peaks?

My full sus is a 2013 trek fuel ex 8 the 26er tho not the new 29. Find it very comfortable for long rides and it climbs well.

Cannock is my local and I enjoy it. It def makes the most of the lack of elevation in the area with good switchback climbs and hardly any fireroad.however it will only take you 2 hours to do dog and monkey so if you could get somebody to show you round some off piste stuff it would be better.most of the good off piste is over the blue route side of the forest.

Just to enjoy life and to make sure that the most important person in my life my wife never has to worry too much about things.certainly not work tho. Simply a means to an end.

Obviously mojo deserve praise too but I was commenting on the face to face service which I always get at leisure lakes and had no contact with mojo but you guys are right so a big thank you to mojo aswell.

Thanks jkomo doubt ill be doing any biking but might try and fit a day in.
