Go ahead and make fun of this guy’s pink bike. I dare you. Last time somebody made that mistake he stabbed them with a quesadilla…yeah, wrap your head around that one.

Weights and everything you need to know.

I'd personally recommend a tag along, trouble with trailgators is the angle the kids bike rather far back. My lad slid off the saddle on his lots until I readjusted it, also alot of side to side slop which made my riding difficult.
I got an Echo Six trailer bike, £200 with gears and an alloy frame. Just blinged it out with 9 speed and a lighter wheel, have ridden upto 22 miles with the little one in tow, really good for training!

Wiki info on him

I'd recommend the Land Rover experience, I did it a couple of years back. Great fun driving over stuff you thought impossible, and we only got to go on the easy routes.

As above I had a Ferrari experience, I had all of about 20 mins driving and they wouldn't let you hoon it too much, better off doing Minis or the like as the cars are less precious so they don't mind you giving it some :D

Orbit UF ones in the lower race, although FSA call them needle bearing, look the same in appearance, I'm sure an engineer will be along shortly to tell me the difference :roll:

They seem fairly successful in headsets, been on FSA for years, cranks are entirely different load levels though.

But the bearing isn't much bigger, it's longer (cylindrical), so yes they maybe 400% larger. However it is stretching it a bit.

Octavia VRS?

Didn't we all? I still want her now in fact!

you sure?

Yes they could have, apparently oil companies by American law only obliged to pay out $75 million, funny how Obama seems to ignore what's going on in the Niger Delta though.

A mate of mine had some Bontrager tubeless ready wheels, they were a PITA just to get tyres on and off, then when they were on he would have the same problems as you.

Got around it by just inflating up 80 psi with a track pump and eventually the tyres would pop round, try whacking some more air in and see what happens (obviously let them down to a sensible pressure after)

Sold one of these through the shop, much better looking in the flesh, very Euro and loud though

Second the limit on data, within months all networks are going to have limits on data so a good friend in the industry tells me. Trouble is with an iphone it's very easy to get past 500mb in a week let alone a month.

They have them in stock, standard or floating, same price as the 203mm rotors. Go into a Hope stockist they should be able to get you some.

Hope do 200mm rotors if you ask.

First method to try is to hammer the head firmly flat again, then tap the torx key back in, works 90% of the time.

If not then remove the other five bolts then turn grab the disc rotor and turn it anti clockwise whilst applying a bit of upwards force, not too much as you don't want to bend the rotor.

Last resort for me is usually the hacksaw and screwdriver method, which is a PITA

I'd suggest not going on your parents insurance, it's fraud, it also gives the insurance company to perfect excuse not to pay out on a claim, known as 'fronting'.

The fact is an 18 yr old is TEN times more likely to have an accident than someone who is over 35 and the average cost of the claim is much higher. Just part of being young :lol:

If you want my advice don't buy the huge ones, although it was fun I had a very impatient young boy waiting for daddy to finish building his AT AT.

I always buy from the lego online store, takes about 5 days delivery though, there's also alot of stuff on there you can't get in the shops, bought the son some lego knife and fork set and some lego man ice cube nakers, he thought they were ace.

Gusset Pinheads for me, cheap light and grippy. Also hurt slightly less than full metal pedals on the shins.

They look ace as well.

Oh yeah edit it now so I look like a fool :lol:

That's teeny, what size is it?

Thinking of something like that with 24" wheels on for my lad next year.

I'm sorry, but there is nothing at this URL.

FAIL

Surely just stand on the pedals and apply a bit of force no?

Works whenever I use them.

Edit: Oh right, what he said :roll:

Mine comes from my cat (rip) who was named after this bit in Bils and Teds.

I'd suggest to him he seems to have a faulty calculator. First off he can only charge £24.50 for a first visit, £18 for a second visit (usually if he doesn't see any payment), a walk around/listing your items can be £49, and that's it. No more charges can be added. You can in fact claim back charges from a bailiff if he over charges you.

You can also make an official complaint against the bailiff addressed to the court that issued his certificate. Phone the Ministry of Justice Public Register of Bailiffs on 020 3334 6355 and ask which court issued his certificate, then download the complaint form http://www.hmcourts-service.gov.uk/c…form4_0606.pdf

Whatever you do though if he calls tomorrow, DO NOT OPEN THE DOOR

Better still is the fact if you press 'insert coin' twice, 2 of you can play, one has to be Mrs.Pacman though.

Yeah can't get a copy until tomorrow, very much looking forward too, Google ad for it over there >>>>>

I always have at least a couple of Faithless CDs in the car, still haven't surpassed Reverence/Irreverence yet though.

I know I'm sure I was searching for something about 20 mins ago, can't remember what now…10,000 and counting…

Fixxored that for you :D

Whale hedge pron 8O

CTR every time for me, I have one in fact. It loves being revved, yes you need to be in the right gear but the gearchange is perfectly placed for maximum use. Bit noisy and harsh on motorways but bearable, massively quick on B roads.
Only real downside for me is fuel consumption, live in the country so mostly B road use, average around 18mpg, can be as low as 10 when ragged 8O

Can I be the first to…

This, never owned one though :-(

Wot tyres for supermarket shopping? :lol:

Actually I think the OP is on to something, how quick would shopping be if you could ride round, much more fun too.

Personally I wouldn't have the cheek to park my bike in a shop, bought a New York chain instead.

Ok, how would you feel if the lady in question was your wife, girlfriend, lover, daughter, etc.?

Well my ex had big boobs (34E) she always put on display, couldn't care less if other blokes looked, she dressed like that when I met her, it's not like I'm going to tell her to cover them up now I was her partner. Anyhow it's more to make other women jealous.

I walked down the street today with very short shorts on. I know I'm going to be looked at, probably more than usual.

Pics or STFU :lol:

Deadlocks or not all you need is to smash a window and pop the boot release, nearly all cars have an internal cable release.

Eels – Souljacker

Faithless – Reverence/Irreverence

Sasha and Digweed – Rennaisance (the original mix masters!)

You may well find as said above that the piston will only seize again after use. Servicing Avid brakes is the most hateful job I do in the workshop second only to wrapping bar tape on road bikes.

If they get really stuck then I have fired them out with a CO2 cartridge in the past, which is most satisfying :D

What he said up there. Have the brakes been serviced in those 2 years as well? Just because something cost alot to buy doesn't mean it will last longer than a budget model.

Having said that Fisher are a pile of pish, they regularly refuse warranty on parts even though the failures are consistant with a design flaw (or fact as they once told me)

Also like Sony mp3 myself, had various successions of Sony phones with mp3 over the years. Sound very good but worth buying better headphones to get the most out of them.

Although the new generations don't have any controls to adjust bass etc. Which is my personal gripe with most current mp3 players.

Got an SE Satio myself which I use with bluetooth headphones, very handy on the bike, takes good pics as well, 12 mp camera. It does do some apps but I didn't buy it for that. Does have google maps though which is handy.
