Posted 1 hour ago # Report-Post

:lol: :lol:Love it very little that you need to have seat post at dirt jumper level in the uk really. I know a chap with one loves it not my bag odont like the lool of thaem then again I ride a 5!!

nightmare mate!!! You'll be back maybe you need a ride to wake the spark up a bit if you want I'll show you how not to ride lordswood!!!

NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! have been having well impure thoughts about the new carbon niner which was on the front page a few weeks ago!!! DOnt remind me!!! 8)

Ton you're a legend I like that mate!!!

I love these posts!! I have two "nice" bikes a five and a mojo one is built up heaver than the next the mojo was a dream bike and with the offer on a stif I went for it. I have a good spec on both nicer on the mojo xtr etc but thats what I wanted and saved for I could give a monkeys what people think.

Its my hobbie and once all the bills are pay and kids etc have what the need then my money I spend on bike stuff, I ahvemate who spend 50-60 quid in the pub twice a week and think bike is a waste of money!!

I keep both of them clean and in good nick they last longer and work better when you do this! :roll: I see a lot of too cool to clean people esp at centres but thats their money not mine. I get them both filthy crash on them etc they are mountain bikes they get knocked dirty crashed on etc doesnt bother me. I hate scratching them in the garage or if they get knocked over but on the trail that happens and is another battle scar with a story!!

Didnt Jo burt do an interview in ST and talk about about this??

I run fire xc pros 2.1's the puppy's privates mate best all rounder for me any way!!! mate loves high rollers….I how ever dint lose my front wheel at afan and use my face as a brake using fire xc pros 8)

i really really dont like em at all just cannot get on with them my ate loves em though!!!

trans wales??? keilder 100??? meridas?????? that's my plan just need to keep getting less lardy first….only problem mince pies now out hmmmmmmmmm!!!!!

hello mate we tend to go for a spin in lordswood and qe as well if your about at the w/e's

LOL know a chap like that we called him two shits….cos if you had had one he'd had…well you get the idea!!!

have one for marathons etc love it very light and after long days you still dont know its there also very cool(as in temp not gnar!) when working hard so was ace in the hot weather.

I'd call them bought shed loads of stuff from them over the years and always found them brill.

Would be asking for my £30 back though!!!!

Hello mate, You know what I think your dealing with this like a F***ing legend. Like you said you will be one of the ones who beats this. You were always going to feel poorly after such a big op but your still standing and you're Home!!! That says a shed load about you and how well your doing. Its ok to have a bad day too but remember one day this will all be done and dusted and your biggest worry will be what you have at the next pub stop!
Hang in there your a day closer to getting better every morning, and when you do your UK tour of riding spots like I said, I'll sort both you and Meg with beer!

NIce one mate so glad mum and mini TS are both well Congrats to Mrs TS on all the hard work of the last 9 months too!!!!

I have always liked them but having spoken to CY at the bike show a few years ago I am more of a BFE size of chap!! Never floated my boat as much the BFE but its always there maybe….!

Love my five really really do one of those shit I'll never find a bike as good as this ones! My mate however hates it!!!! Better get a test ride fella!!!

To turn it round I dont get why you wouldnt ride a bike! That amazing buzz and high you get from it and it last for a few day after a really good spin? Even find my self jealous of commuters when I'm driving home!! :roll:

I have been told I need my bumps felt for hhow much I spend on bikes etc but that's my thinh all bills are paid Kids have every thing they need then my money I'd rather spend on a bike or bits that pissing it down the pub and ignoring the kids all day sunday like some do!

Chap in the local woods to us lost nis bike stopped to fix a flat oand before he could get back on three of them jumped him one rode off the other two gave him a beating for his trouble. Now will only ride there in a group solo rides are usually further afield in chav free zones!

milton every time mate then keep the bladder in the freezer.

I have a five and its brill mate really good, costly in comparsion to a pitch, but its a different kettle of fish. but I rode the five and just loved it so held out to get a bit more cash to get the pro with some addded bits. been brill so far and its been through some rough stuff!! fast up and down and excellent fr the uk stuff!

The pitch its cheaper and like all spesh bikes it will be really good I know this will keep being said but you need to test em both, one of them will be "right" and you'll then know what to go for! FIVE IS BLOODY AMAZING THOUGH!!! :wink:

had to use the mallet trick on mine then a bit of copper grease stopped it happpening again.

try ocean spray off hound road near the hamble mate good job and not too costly…….with vat savings and all…. 8)

high rollers are just pants really dont see why people like 'em proper fashion tyre!!!!!! :twisted:

Always always :lol: wet when I go always worth it too though!!

knocked it over while getting other bike out toppled and manages to get spot on the DMR pedal pins of my wifes bike, about an inch and a bit gouge out of mt seat stay paint!!! Doh!!!!!!!!! :roll:

I have one and so far love it a bit twitcher than my 5 but reaqlly goes up hill and down its excellent. got mine in the stif sale too!!

depends do you want to commit?? If so its grovel time or explain that you really didnt understand how much she really ment to you ( which its clear she still does) I did this with a girl once were apart three months or so..now married with two kids!!! :lol:

or get lashed buy bike bits and hit the trails…. :twisted:

It was brilliant how great were the marshalls?? Best event yet I think! Reallly looking forward to next years already!!

Really dont like the coloured XO stuff think it looks well cheap (the noir cranks look pony IMHO :lol:),the normal XO does look lush but after a brief affair with sram I am back in the Shimano fold!!!!

Yesssss I am the 50 hope it stays dry

MAssive con grats on the engaugement dude!!!! :D That brill news!!!

Best of luck today mate fingers crossed for you and I mean the fact I'll buy you both a pint when this is all a distant memory after a ride!!

fingers crossed for the fifty!!

I have a section on a trail we ride that really get's me. Had three stacks on it first one with me ending up about ten feet from it looking up at the sky one of those ok does every thing still move do I feel ok moments with my mate looking for me after coming around the corner to see only a bike partly on a trail! went back again a few weeks later and washed out and got up went again ( know I can ride this bloody thing) and washed out!! Now I had ridden it for a year or more no issues then in the space of a month or so three stacks the first shook me and I just lost faith in my ability to ride it as I had been and built it up though too much does that make sence?? :?.

It's a about 6 months later, and I have improved as a rider over all riding faster more controlled (good old sskills course!), am fitter etc (I'm no riding god at all!!!) and I'm riding stuff I would never have tried before, agrubly harder stuff. I can/ do ride it again but at about 1/2 the speed I used to but I'm getting back to grips with it.

I'd chill and enjoy other riding/ trails, if you do ride that trail then just get down it as time goes you'll start riding it quicker with out too much thought. it will still be there next ride next month year so dont make a big thing of rushing back it you'll ride it again!! :D

Any way my 2p's worth!!

got two sets of qr 15 floats (rlc's) been excellent so far mate one pair is a year old now and no issues really reccomend them.

fire XC pros 2.1's no pics sorry!!

hi I've got the r's on my bike and the lever wemt really soft almost to the bar a realy good bleed later and sorted!!

I will say though they (and I've had a squeez of a few peoples now! 8O!) dont ever stop dead like say hpoie m4's or the older xts. tey will always have a bit of flex in the leaver. but I dont reaolly notice when rideing as its past the lock up stage of the lever really good brakes though.

I'll add my LBs did the second bleed for free for me as they fitted them on the bike so might be worth an ask!!

I think thats bl**dy brilliant!!!!!

Split and sell mate my stiffee frame two and a half years old I got 300 for it pikes same age 250 thompson seat post 35 etc will always get more splitting it up.

whites level mate!!!!
