      Sorry Miss-Higgy, though I imagine you've had snow which I'd prefer to this rain.

      Yeah, my son was born Sunday night. For some reason Facebook put those extra starting letters in before each name.

  16. Anyone got any opinions on Tensile offset Mounts? Frame is spaced at 100mm and need more room to run my pads.

    1. Nick Manning

      Nick Manning

      I bought some as I don't want to be taking material to fit a new set of pads. Waste of money really.

  17. Just got in from a really good Southampton evening ride. Everyone was pushing themselves which was great to see.

      I have no idea why this has come up as yesterday, I wrote it last week on Tuesday as that's when we rode Southampton.

  18. Do you know what really annoys me, seeing people on unscratched & still brand new after 6 months trials bikes. Sat in the park looking cool... I mean really? More money than sense comes to mind!

    1. Nick Manning

      Nick Manning

      The problem is that if money is no object then they can buy a really nice set up. I'm not sure about you Dan, but i've been riding for over 12 years and I started on a 17" mountain bike, upgrading to a 14" jump bike and changing parts, with my first trials bike being a Leeson clear 660 4 years after I started riding trials.

      If you're too worried about scratching your bike, you'll never progress. I can see why it annoys you so much and agree.

  20. I just wish I was cool like Joe Maher. He is my idol!

    1. Nick Manning

      Nick Manning

      No it wasn't. I really do wish I could be just like Joe, have his dedication to ride the same place nearly every day and have that awesome Essex twang :-P

  23. Chain Reaction are getting sloppy, put an order in on 3/9/12 at 23:10 so would have thought it would have been dispatched on the 4th or at least the 5th. No, they've only dispatched it today on Royal Mail 1st class, so I reckon they might turn up sometime next week.

    1. Nick Manning

      Nick Manning

      Yeah, it's not ideal to have to find out through forums that there's a problem with the security of a companies customers details. Hope you and everyone else effected got it sorted with no loss to them. Does give the impression that CRC are now too big for their current set up.

      When was this, I didn't know they had a security issue. Well surprisingly the postman has been down my road, but nothing for me :-( Good job I'm not desperate for this order.
