  1. although it gets scanned on the doorstep so you can tell if delivery was attempted, and whether it has been collected from the delivery office.
  2. Your mum. Honestly, Two pages, what is the world coming to?
  3. Classic move is to take out the spring on the mech and lock it in place. No clanging...
  4. Everyone used to run 22 and a road cassette. I miss the ability to go mega fast at stuff, but I don't miss bashing off the hanger... Bottom cog is good enough to get up some decent speed in a sprint.
  5. I did actually ride today. I was shit but hey - I did at least have a go. Back on topic, got to watch on the big telly with sound up today. It's just brilliant start to finish I particularly love the the two bench bit though - perfect.
  6. Ha, that's funny, I realised after I posted that it probably didn't quite make sense and I didn't know which bit was at 01:04 (I still haven't looked) but it was probably brilliant and worthy of mentioning so left it.
  7. possibly/probably the best mod vid ever made ? 01:04... Good work mark!
  8. I'm obviously biased, but I don't think it's as good - the riding is exceptional mind.
  9. Got a stinking cold
  10. If someone botches your teeth you can get dentures. If someone botches your eyes you can get a white stick and a Labrador.
  11. When's the next race?
  12. Where are the bits that aren't leftovers?
  13. I wish the "sack of spuds" bike noises had been toned down a bit. Other than that it was pretty darn hot! wasn't too interested in the bangers - its the techy trials bits that blow my mind.
  14. After Ali is done, can I request some help. Ps - Ali - gym manager is a good call, they won't want douchebags operating from their gym.
  15. Once you break traction and lock the wheels you are surely typically reducing the friction between the road and tyres? So surely having the abs reduce the pressure and regain traction is going to stop you quite a bit faster? I'll agree it's not going to be as good as being able to be on the edge of skidding constantly. But for it to kick in surely you've gone past that anyway. Or as part of the system is it thinking emergency braking and adding in force? I'm pretty sure that happens in some systems?
  16. For the abs to kick in you would have had to have locked the wheels? In which case you probably wouldn't have beaten the abs ?
  17. yeah - I had considered it, I deserve a day off. I guess Ben is driving as you don't have a car ? Doesn't James live in like swindon ?
  18. that looks suspiciously like on with electrical tape...
  19. can I ask on your travel arrangements ?
  20. I had a curtis and rode with Boon every week once upon a time.... :'(
  21. +20 MAX. I like my bike to feel at least a little like a bike. but then I rode for like 10 years on 0bb/negbb bikes...
