NOPE. Its f**king awsome. Been f**king around on the hills, raging about in a mates landrover. Driving has never been so interesting and iv never been so hand-brake-happy! Oh and iv never seen so many people fall on their ass, its hilarious.

Friend of me and Criag's is riding Joe Seddon's old proto and is running his Pro2 no worries at all

Dot 4. You don't want it too strong or it could corrode your hoses.

Snow is no time for riding. Its time to head for the hills with plastic based body boards and make stupid runs complete turns and jumps in the 15" of snow!

Mine is an short, and comes in at +15, 1075, 375

Just ring tarty.

What the f**k ben!? Im back a kangaroo, which will turn up halfway through and sort 'em both out

nope, id happily add having a cold beer in the bath to the list edit: or does that just make us both alcoholics..?

Took a hot water bottle to bed for the first time in years last night and id forgotten just how awesome they are. Got me thinking as to what other little simple things in life make you feel good.

And the man speaks the truth. Seriously, iv ridden with and without tar and nothing compares with a well ground, well set up brake. The only time i can see tar being useful is if you don't own a grinder and it can take a little time between grinds to get hold of one and refresh your rim. As for where to get it from, i headed down to my local roofing supplier with some Haribo and they gave me a handfull of marble sized bits for nothing.

Well im f**king happy to say the least!

Yeh sound like it could be fun, will need some details on locations and prices. but suppose it could be good

About 33lbs, so thats just under 15kilos

Just had a look at the new Speedrace FANS 26" frame on tarty and its actually perfect. For me the geo looks sweet, and in black it looks super nice. http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=11082 Obviousley there arnt going to be any reviews around as of yet as there so new, but from the more strucurally minded of you out there.... what are your thoughts in terms of strength, weak points etc.

That V lever looks suspiciousley* like a cheepo Bikehut one from halfords...? If it is, pleeeease change it. On a happier note, the bike looks awesome. Easily one of the best iv seen *sp?

Funny, but doesnt belong here. Needs to be moved to the Chit-Chat 'Best of the Internet' thread

Hey guys, have recently started considering entering afew comps again. But im not really wanting to enter lighweight XC races, and im not sure my bike will cope with a full on DH race Anyone know of any All mountain/trail orientated comps? And if so where are they, dont really want to travel too far... cheers

For all those complaining about the money still ending up in sony and therefore simon's pocket anyway And to the people not really seeing the point, this article really sums up what is trying to be achived here and why this really is a good cause http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/musicblog/...e-christmas-no1 Oh, and Robin, your post was awesome.

I could watch savage ride all day. Its all just so textbook and effortless.

Word. Viz! forks are sweet, i love mine On the SL front, i was riding with a Ben Johnson in west bay who had only had his SL's for a number of weeks and doesn't do alot of moves to front. He decided to begin learning hooks and after 5 or 6 attempts the forks snapped clean in half on one side. Seriously, they are made of cheese. PM Ben, he'l probs send you the pics if you ask nicely

It doesnt work, if you have any rubber detailing on your gloves that catch on them, and they will split if used on the outside (they're not that tough) The whole idea of having them on the inside is just to keep your hands warm, that fact that any sweat you build up is stuck there aids the warmth. And if anyone doesnt like the idea of having horrible sweaty hands all day then just take 3 or 4 pairs with you. Riding gloves are designed to be tough, grippy and protective, let them do their job, and let these keep you warm

I had a set of blue ZOO! bars and they creaked for a couple of months and then snapped off right at the stem. Id save yourself the potential for misery, pain or injury and just get some new bars.

What you need are some surgical gloves like these You can get them from internet retailers for bugger all and they are awesome! Completly wind proof and water proof All you do is put them on underneath your current gloves, and then, you still get the advantage of the feel of a thin glove, and more warmth than a winter glove that lacks feel. I learnt this technique when i used to race downhill and some guy from the silverfish/cove team showed me
