Its all cool. I knew I shouldn't have written all that shit in the first place to her. I was just kinda hoping that it may have been closure on us, and she could have seen where I was coming from on a few parts. There Is no "love letter" about it. Regarding the drugs, I'm bothered and I'm not at the same time. I dont give a shit what this guy does in all honesty. For all I know, apart from offering me a smack, he could be the nicest guy in the world, and like you say, just gets a bit lairy sometimes. I have mates that dabble, and even though I'm not a believer in the whole drug thing (Ok with the exception of a drink or three), because its not forced upon me, its non of my business, therefore I'm not bothered. I'm just shocked that she entertains the fact he does them, as previously, she wouldn't have gone near anyone like that. All this (like has been said), is super soppy I know. And for those of you who know me, you will know how much of a boring fart I am. Its just really taken its toll on me for the past 6 months. Pretty much ruining my first year. Hey ho. People change. Move on. Time for me to do the same.

Feel like a dick for writing this. But as some of you may or may not know, my girlfriend and I of 4 years split up in October. Recently its been really tough for me since she has properly moved on, pretty much seeing this lad. I felt I needed closure between us. So last week I wrote her a letter (Soppy I know!) explaining my feelings, and in general really opening up to her. Also explained that I was happy for her and the new chap (Because I love her, I want her to be happy). She never really said much about it. We talked over Facebook (Although we live in rooms next door to each other), and she just explains to me that it will be getting better in time ect. And since ive been trying to make a real effort with her, just to be civil, and not be at each other's throats. For the past few days its been great. Now, when we where together, she was that girl, that you would take home to your rents. Really sweet, lovely girl, with good morals and personality (Hence why I fell in love with her). Since our break up, she has been adamant that all she wants is us to go our separate ways, and to leave each other well alone. Last night however I got f**ked up. I work weekends so am up early, so I need my sleep. Living in the room next door I here things though. Last night she came home (4am ish), with 3 others. One of which was her new lad. First I had music being played. Her door banging, then a load of bitching about me literally right outside my door. Followed by "Can I go In there and give him a smack?" from the new bloke. Why am I upset? She has been showing people my letter to her, and really f**ked up my feelings. That shit was personal. If she didnt want it, get rid of it. Not taunt me. I follow to find out, that last night this bloke was high on MDMA and a pothead. Im just really confused, and hurt basically. I don't understand why she is being like this? Its like she is finding my misery for the past 6 months funny. If she wants us to leave each other alone, why bring me back into things. She is really really against drugs also, having had bad family experiences ect. So im so confused as to why she is getting involved with this twat. Right now I'm just thinking f**k it!

Even the Shimano Deore HT11 cranks piss all over the Octane One shit.

Im not really sure what your trying to achieve? The protein in the bar will be helping repair the damage done to your muscles during trials. But what I use (More MTB training) Is a recovery shake. This has both protein and carbohydrate in. If you do more than 90 ish minutes of exercise without an intake of food, your going to need carbs and protein within the first 20 minutes of training, to improve endurance. Having said that. Nothing beats eating proper food, and eating right.

I swear by Sram chains, and Shimano Cassettes. Any one really from the Sram PC range will do. Like said above, after use, give it a damn good clean to get the dirt/ oil off, then simply spray with WD40 to disperse the water. Leave for a few hours, then use a good wet lube.

If someone was explaining this all to me, then I would agree that that person needs to sort this shit out. Yet, with the boot on the other foot, ive never felt so bad in my life......

Moving out isnt really an option for me due to the housing contract. Although what is an option is to crash at a few mates places. Might do it to give it some space. Got seriously drunk last night, which I need to stop doing, as it makes me more emotional. Funny situation though, as she means that much to me, I WANT her to be happy. Unfortunately doesn't stop it killing me though.

Turns out the ex is now seeing someone. I was getting my head together over this, but now its just tearing me apart. Really have had enough of all this.

Rainbird you are full of gold sometimes!

Still thinking about my ex. I know its something I need to stop, but she is just plastered all over my mind. Ironically, doesn't help there is only a thin bit of plaster board separating her room and mine.

That is incredibly ironic, considering the conversation I had with her mate last night. Oh well!

Cheers for the advise. Ive met a girl on my course that Ive made great friends with. She seams kinda into me, and I love spending time with her, just hanging out and such. She is a really lovely girl. Thing is, I cant tell if im overly attracted to her or not? Or its just me looking for someone to get over my ex, and we are in fact just, and will only be, good friends? Time will tell I guess. Cheers lads.

Ride could be on! Although it all depends on hope (Exploded hub syndrome)

Cheers boys. Been riding my MTB a lot that helps. Going to try and get out a bit more and meet some new girls and genrally just change my perspective. I just find it hard as we have grown up together and simply become one. In many ways she is my perfect woman, in some ways not. Im not a believer in "The One", so it will all be good in the end. Rainbird, lost your number, pint?

Anyone got any tips with dealing with break ups? My girlfriend and I broke up in October, after being together for almost 4 years. New 6 months down the line im still struggling with it. Doesn't help that we are living in rooms next door to each other in the same house (student accommodation). Really cant see it getting any better, and she is getting close to other guys now, which she is well within her right to do, but it still kills me to know it. Still really in love with her

My screen smashed when i dropped it (Ipod touch 4) with a plastic clip on case. Now using a silicone one as its "meant" to help it "bounce" when dropped. I dont fancy dropping it to try....

Hi all, Does anyone know if it is possible to replace the bearings from a echo external bb? If so how is it done?

You need a screw on hub....

How come?

SPD's are a must for an oldschool build like this. But, as im guessing your using it as a run around/ trip to the shops bike, Shimano DX's would be cool.

Stans Flow. Love them. Light, strong, tubeless compatible. Win.

How much are we talking? What are you after? Strength? Weight? Price? Going tubeless?

As title really, anyone around on sunday for a little ride?

The soles on the non SPD version are a lot softer than the spd version obviously. The sole may still be a bit stiff though.

I recommend the Shimano AM45's here. Done a lot of riding in them over the last 10 months, including a trip to Wales where they where used 5 consecutive days. Looks are Marmite I guess (Yes that review was me), but they dont look too bad in the flesh. Inset cleat means there much better for walking in than the standard type SPD shoe. Very good if you have slightly wider feet like me!
