  1. Day glow was for Marlboro sponsorship which ain't gonna happen! Also hoping for Honda success although they've got a tough job on their hands.
  2. Don't tell me what I'm capable of you self righteous little thundercunt.
  3. Well at least that makes one. Everyone else knows Dave just talks complete shite the whole time. Baa.
  4. I'm kinda surprised (and very disappointed) at Alonso going back to McLaren. The guy acted like a complete tool when he was losing to Hamilton and quite frankly I can't stand him.
  5. Not convinced! Don't stay together just for the kids but surely there's still something there to work on?
  6. Surely for family runaround diesel is the way to go? I was thinking about a zafira recently but would really rather not go that route! Ford s-max is the nicest looking of the lot but seems more expensive although the facelift zafiras are better.
  7. I've got a TomTom but also have MapFactor Navigator installed on my Android phone which is another downloaded maps so no-data-required system.
  8. I thought it was an actual 'thing' on the internet isn't it?
  9. Glue a ball bearing inside one of his dust caps and let that tire down one night.
  10. Same here- mine arrived today and are indeed MG1's at a bargainous price! Might look at something else or the Arcade but for the On one these will do nicely. Cheers for the heads up!
  11. It's just with perspective included, as in drawn with a vanishing point. Other point of note in the elevation it looks like the sides aren't parallel- is that the case or is that also just perspective?
  12. Where do you chaps run the cable/mount the battery pack on these. Mine has a serious abundance of cable and the single velcro strap on the battery pack doesn't really keep it in place...
  13. When the friend receives his Rolls it also won't have +10 degree camber, 13" wheels off a mini or mismatched seats...
  14. Ah fair enough. I know there are a few different versions out there and if you ever get into the workings of it there's nothing stopping you drilling another hole in the telescoping tube to give you the third position. It's not the prettiest thing in the world but I really can't fault mine either, especially for £45!
  15. This is the lockout lever I used as well if it's of any interest.
  16. Unless that's a 'proper' Gravity Dropper post it looks very similar to my cheapo Tmars dropper that cost about £45 (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161172390535) and has three heights, 110mm down, 55mm down and up and is cable actuated with a simple pin that's released by the lever and seems to work just fine. The lever they come with is a fairly clumsy big omnidirection thing that feels anything but positive so I used a Suntour fork lockout unit that I didn't need to replace it which gives a far nicer feel and is nice and minimalist on the bars. Similar procedure shown here: http://goatshell.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/origin8-tmars-dropper-seatpost-1st_3.html though I've used a little barrel lock thing with grub screws to finish the cable (possibly from an old Magura HS33 mounting kit?) which is nicer than the ugly solution that dude's used.
  17. How do you find the seat post? I see no reason to spend £300 when for £60 you can get something nearly as good that doesn't need servicing and bled every 5 minutes! I've always run mine with a Suntour lock out lever as the stock thing seemed a bit... shit.
  18. And now Marussia have gone into administration too... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-oxfordshire-29784602
  19. If you sign up to Koo Bikes' mail shot thing you get a £5 voucher which may be of interest to you. Just got two Spoons from them, one for the 456 and one for my Ribble.
