If using a carbon bar is going to make you uncomfortable and ride differently then don’t buy one. Do you always want to be thinking “what if”?

So right mate! I’d kind of come to the conclusion myself, but thought I’d see what the general thoughts were on here,

Stompweaver……blimey mate!! 8O

Loved the first one, my only concern is can they capture what was so good about it again, given we know what to expect? Will watch it for certain anyway!

It’s indoors and winter which is good, no pollen for that pesky hay fever……

Ah ok by hideous I meant going on £800!! £2.5k bloody hell!

No idea, but had the same problem, in the end NFU were the best bet. As mines a van not a camper they were hideously expensive.

Only a matter of hours before the Archbishop on Canterbury declares a Jihad…..

That Onion logo is great Scotroutes!!

South Downs chalk is a shit regardless of what tyre or bike you’re on I have a hang up about deep ruts from a stack in the Downs chalk roads!!

Brace goes on top of everything mate even the jersey.

Just a PSA that the whole series of Band of Brothers and The Pacific are available on Sky now.

Looks lovely mate!! Will you be taking the Nomad to Ard Rock or this???

I do love Paddington!! My two are too big to go to see it though :cry: not too many complaints as I get to see All the Narvel and Star Wars films now!!

Blake how long have you had the bike mate?

I’m intrested in the issue youve had with the back end getting a bit squirrelly. Was it the first time you’d ridden it in bad mud or wet?

I’m not digging your riding at all I’m just interested if with so much weight over the front now the back can get loose on the Bike without giving you any signals it’s in its way to full “widow maker” ( to quote Chainline!!) .

Good news it feels better though mate nothing worse than one of those out of nowhere stacks, totally screws your head for a while.

I watched it yesterday, I enjoyed it but I wouldn’t put it in my top adventure film list if that makes any sense?

Awesome!

We use pet plan. Two big ops on the dog, hugely expensive, they paid out no bother each time. The second time directly to the Vet so I didn’t have to put a huge lump on a credit card just the excess which was great. They’ve never been an issue to deal with and service has been top notch. Bit more expensive certainly, but we’ve got what we’ve paid for. So I’d recommend them tbh.

To anyone who thinks this will end well I suggest they go and visit the Korean War memorial in DC on a cold snowy day. (

As you get to walk around a set of bronze figures on Patrol… you get a small taste of the misery of war)

It’s v low key but I found it far more poignant than the WW2, Vietnam memorials or Arlington.

Wow that’s amazing. 8O

Post image is actually quite easy to use! Thanks for the heads up!

I can see why the OP is pi$$ed. Being guaranteed that the item is there and will be shipped then paying the extra for next day only to be messed about on the phone ( cut off, not called back when told I will be), would have me raging!!

You can’t tell a customer one thing charge them for it then toss it off. That’s Shit€.

As for the creating an account meh wouldn’t bother me!

I’ll get hammered now but…… YT, Canyon. I don’t like the direct sales model, I like having an LBS to deal with, get to know, sort any issues out with etc.

Funny with the comment on TLD kit, I’ve got a TLD full face, because it was the one that actually felt comfortable, tried all the others I could find but that was the most comfortable. But I’d not be see. Dead in the day glo full racer kit!! :lol:

In for the sport! Really looking forward to it!

Heart goes out to you mate.

It just isn’t my thing at all then add this

stopped watching a couple of years back
someone lifted the lid on the thoughts/financial pressures on many riders

The injury and initial lack of support of Paul Basagoitia didn’t sit well with me either.

Cool thanks Nick that sounds exactly as Id hoped, it’s only about 30-40 min from me so I’ll nip across one weekend early for a bit of a potter about…( I was going to say Razz about but sill be more realistic…) :lol:

Ok cool, sounds like I’m aiming right then….I really fancy riding the course and am fairly sure I’ll be alright……. apart from Hecklers wood that’s blatantly going to result in using my face as a brake… 8O but don’t want to get in the way if those who are trying to shave half a second off you know!!

Well it’s in the lap of the broadband connection tomorrow morning anyway I suppose!!!

Great stuff thanks all!

I fu d the Dorset Knights Templar almost and smile inducing g as the Surrey Chapter of the Mongrel Mob…..

Derek, toffee hammer and failure to arrive are both known side effects….I once over heard in a pub while waiting for a pint……

Been on Venladaxine for just over a year, for me it’s removed the low lows but that I’m constantly exhausted, as in will happily sleep all day…..if it was possible, going to chat to the GP to see what’s what, as this isn’t a great way to live! But it’s not helped with the lack of energy but neither did the sertraline maxed out either.

I do really dislike the black dog?

That’s gorgeous mate! Enjoy!

Sold out in 30 secs NoBeer!?!

Blimey!!!! 8O

Result!!!! Fingers crossed this is the start of things picking up for a brill new chapter mate!!!!!

I’m hoping to get a space on the sport on Sunday, but I guess it will be in the lap of he website gods!!

Can’t see the poll since we went to the new site either!

Will be really interesting to see what they develop now. I really wish them a huge amount of success. Love the look of the Geometron bikes and can’t wait to ride one next year!

Seatpost man would be worth a shout.

Too short? The N4 is longer TT wise than a Patrol, Enduro, Capra, Remedy, Mega, etc etc.
SC bikes aren’t short any more.

Yeah don’t look at the measurements just read the internet

POSTED 8 HOURS AGO # REPORT-POST

Sorry that’s aimed at me!! It was late when I wrote it!! :lol: I was talking about in the past when ever Ive ridden SC bikes ( my mate is a huge fan ) but Ive been left a bit cold by them and felt cramped.

I’ve seen the bike in real life and read the internet ;) so I know this is longer than the 2017 bikes…..but shorter than the new 2018 SBG stuff….by about 10mm in xl….. :mrgreen:

I was really trying to convey how this is the first SC that I’ve thought oh wow that’s just lush…..but I failed!! :oops: :lol:

Lovey pooches mate!!

I picked a copy up in Sainsbury’s! Agreed though it’s getting harder to find, and the mag in a lot thinner than it once was!

Wow! Well I love it! And I really dislike SC bikes! Too short and currently they all look the same! But that’s a great looking bike and the DH lite thing I can see working in wales lakes Scotland etc etc in the right hands.

I think that one is just lush, really like the colour!! Enjoy mate!
