Forget the bar angle, get that saddle tilted back!

One of these can also do wonders...

Yup, had that on my old Rover- ABS would randomly kick in when no where near loss of traction. In other news, is that Jeremy Clarkson driving Prawn's car?

Long vs short is effected by rear cassette range as well rather than just multiple front rings. Basically no- no one (that I know of) make a clutch type derailleur for 9 speed set ups. I recently had to change to a 10 speed setup to use a Shadow+ SLX mech. So yeah, I think really you'll need shifter, mech, chain and cassette if you want to go to a clutch.

Unscar Er(?) looks better to me and is even cheaper. http://www.decathlon.co.uk/unscar-er-helmet-id_8244066.html

A seriously disappointing lack of Mr Westlake riding but otherwise good stuff! Those full speed hooks by Ben and Flipp were properly impressive!

Have you tried 46.5mm of spacers? That really is full of awesome.

Grr...

For pure trials I always found that pedaling up works top a certain point and beyond that you get more height by committing and bunny hopping it. On mod I could pedal up maybe 45"or so but for bigger stuff bunnys worked better. I'm sure Benito does something similar, Bunnying when things get stupid high.

Possibly of interest to those in here... if you transfer any account to Halifax at the mo they give you £100 with no requirements to have your salary go to the account our set up any direct debits or anything. Just done it with a 'dead'account of mine that's been sitting with £5 in it for a few years and have got the £100 straight off! That works out at 2000% interest on the fiver! Worth doing if you have any old accounts for sure.

I've always liked Bristol.

Good stuff You won't be disappointed!

You're only hiring it though. The final 'purchase' is at your and their discretion. You can just hand it back.

So are you buying an Arcade?!

Just a 3 bedroom semi with a garage etc. Certainly nothing special but I think we did kind of miss the first step of the property ladder and went straight for rung 2...

My problem with month-month money is credit card bills. I always pay them off in full each month (I've got two- one Santander cashback one that I use for shopping and fuel and one Clydesdale one I use for online spending) and that value is obvioiusly different from month to month so I don't know exactly what's 'surplus' until after that goes out near the end of the month. I don't spend silly amounts and do save frequently but £1200 mortgage is a bit of a killer!

I looked into using our cyclescheme thing to get a RIbble but the whole final value thing thing put me off and I decided that it wasn't worth the crap doing it through work so just bought it on 0% finance over 10 months direct from Ribble. I think the cycle scheme thing used to be far better value when the final value was a 'token gesture' type sum of £20-£50 or whatever but now they've closed that loophole the savings reduce a fair bit.

Videos of those comps make me proper angry for some reason. I don't get why they don't put it high enough so that they can't touch the ground when doing cerrazy insanse stuntz. It just makes no sense to me that touching down on a regular basis is considered fine and the norm. It's like doing a world trials event where it doesn't matter if you put your foot down 20 times in a section so long as it's only for a split second... I just don't get it.

I don't believe Mike Escamilla is still riding!

Just to stay on topic, are you saying Ukrainians are killing kids or Russians are killing kids? Cos to be fair Russia is currently the dog shit on the bottom of the world's shoe it seems...

Unfortunately I'm down I'm Weymouth this weekend so can't do it... Have a good one

I use mine as much to get the wheel straight in the frame as to sort out chain tension. You can really dial it in (which also helps if you happen to be running discs too).

I think MBUK musst use the TF tape measure...

Is there not something in your contract about that? I'd watch your back for the next few weeks Mr C!
