I get the feeling that if it was Alonso who stopped to allow enough fuel to test the outcome would've been somewhat different...

Bull. Shit.

His gazzillion day ban says no.

Haha, not quite. I had middleburns with an uno 32T ring on the front, 5 working gears at the back and the worlds longest seatpost! lack of pannier mounts meant I had a tent strapped to a small seatpost mounted rack and a 55 litre rucksack

Used to ride 7 miles to Peterhead to ride then 7 miles back. That was back in the day when I rode a 16" GT Backwoods. I don't think you can count the bodged Orange Zero that I did John O' Groats to Lands End on... although I did have a bit of a bounce at Lands End so I guess you could say I kinda rode down to ride the rocks. So yeah ~897 miles to go for a play? Beat that!

It's not overpriced as you basically get what you pay for, with a premium being paid for the bonus extras on the frame and forks. It depends what you want really, with the Skye you get a lot of high end kit and some very neat design features which the 'cheaper' bikes don't get but unless you're really going to push it you get get by just as well with a Team which is almost as well specced without the bells and whistles.

T-cut, toothpaste or metal polish- all mild abrasives. Supposedly the best plan is to clean from the centre outwards rather than round...

I'm struggling with the new update on my sony tablet running Android dolphin HD browser. Can't find any way to change the layout from full to mobile or whatever, can't minimize the panels on the right on the home screen and it keeps jumping in scale when loading... all a bit odd!

You never know, he may be running tubeless...

Is that his rear tyre exploding at the end?

Yeah, if they pay as a normal payment not directly through ebay), they can insert the item number and make it all above board and you can then mark it as 'payment received' once they've settled up.

The bolts screw into the frame and are what the external surface of the cams push against to stop them from slipping forwards. The bolts are critical to the function of the cams. When Ads is pushing on the cams and you hear the click, that's the next notch on the cam locating on the bolt in the frame. Edit: What they look like when run on the outside of the frame (note depending on your setup you may need to run them inside the frame):

Pretty ugly too to be fair...

Looks like an original 16" Cannondale Beast of the East...

I think when riding in the wet the bike and tyres are probably far more capable than you think but the important thing to remember is to relax and not stiffen up. Far more chance of things going wrong if you're stiff and forcing the bike rather than riding like you normally would, albeit a touch slower. Also avoid white lines where possible...

Have you considered a career in the Citizen's Advice Bureaux? With insight like that you could go far .

Just you .

I think calling it 'traction control' is going a little far and can't really see it offering much benefit to many to be honest. I'd have thought that with suspension being the norm that a system that tapped into air shocks would be more beneficial than tyres, and a lot lighter and simpler to accomplish.

See hear. Edit: I hope for your sake it's an aluminium frame you've got... though looking at the pic I think maybe you don't. Linky.

Are you guys still riding? Haven't seen you for yeeeaaars!

Did you not get him to sign a 'payment received for Suzuki RM85, sold as seen' bit of paper? Always good on things like vehicles to cover yourself (whether you're the buyer or seller). But do try and do it in a non aggressive, polite way of course...

Unfortunately it isn't quite that simple due to the extra hoops they've introduced for you to jump through. Yes you'll still have to do CBT, bike theory test and then the relevant sections of the full bike test but probably worth contacting your local bike school as a lot of them offer free sessions to determine your level.

Like, oh my god, a post by Andeee that I agree with! [/shockhorrorsurprise]

How about you just stop being a massive tool?

Or even just stop visiting or posting using sheer willpower... Woah, wait, Guillermo Marín is quitting trials? I did not know that. You'd think there'd be a Kony 2012 style viral campaign in place to stop him leaving surely! I kid, I kid
