Hey guys, Mainly to the bristol regulars, but open to all as per usual. Away for the weekend, but if anyone fancies a night ride on some time next week that would be awesome. Wednesday is probably best for me, but I can probably do most nights from Tuesday onward really, so if anybody would rather we did another night let me know. Laters, Monkey Boy

Noooooo! Going home this weekend! Do it next weekend, clearly it would be far better I'm sure Alex/Simon/Mat/Sam/Rowan (maybe) etc will be about though, so there should be somone else to come out and play

Are you on about actually MAKING them out of carbon?! If you are that insane, do it. If you just want the look, grab some carbon-look adhesive stuff, and stick it on and be a cool kid

Sounds good, but it's about Mk5 or something now isn't it? From an old MSN convo where it was at Mk4 anyway So are you going to have another few shots at it then?

Erm... "Why not just pleasure the missus like most other blokes. I mean, yeah it can be tiring, and for foreplay, but surely on the most part.... Unless you had an unfortunate meeting with a grinder maybe... (Colour so it's not too offensive/blatant for those skimreading/of a younger disposition" What's causing the flex there then?

In fairness, my dad's 20 year old roadie trackstands like a beast, so really that's not a major point... What's causing the flex in it? Material choice or design fault? Oh, and how long have you had a 10" dildo kicking about... (by the way, those were actual questions, not taking the piss, except for the dildo. perhaps...)

Paper bags were invented for a reason

Down this weekend, but not with bike unfortunately, else I'd be there! May be in town though for a bit, if so I'll hunt you lot down and say hi

Signed. Would royally suck if they went and built over Castle Park, for both riding and chillout purposes for us and everybody else. As a relatively new guy to Bristol, it seems like the place must get busy with people through the summer, so why destroy that? Castle Park was the first place I randomly found when I came here really, and it would be such a shame to see it taken away

There's a seperate thread for this already "Before/After" I think it was called, started a few days back...

Haha, far from it, had the missus round

Could have sworn you said you'd had a year of not being able to do something else there...!

Did Kieran finally get his ass in gear for you then?! When I saw "Green Marco Hosel" by Synergy, I thought you'd gone and sprayed it up, so was a bit of a surprise to see it reincarnated as it was, but looks good mate. How are you finding it?

Looks awesome from what I can make out, but can you grab a few higher quality pictures at some point? Very nice work! edit: Also, what are the vital statistics of that? And what size is that frame?

Darren loves his, he wouldn't stop going on about them and his bloody grind while he was here

They have, he's called Tunni

Yep, lighter than most STOCK ratios! However, as a quick temporary fix I guess it works, so fair play to the guy for trying! Wouldn't want to run dual freewheel for any prolonged period of time personally though, just the thought of the engagement etc scares me, unless you are running some insanely nice freewheels, which would kind of defeat the point I guess! Have you got it sorted yet? (@ Onzadude123)

Oh JT!

Was posted in another topic a short while ago, possibly more suited to BOTI perhaps This is more direct I guess... (That wasn;t an angry post, just an informative one which will no doubt sound different to how it did in my head!)

Sort of a friend thing I assume with Alex, but Darren 'won' them by helping Pete out with some calculations and stuff a while back. An NMC search for "Wright Pads" (not as in the member...) would probably bring up the topic

Go for a twist, something a little more fun: Had a Jester one a while back, but sold it on for beer... Need another!

As in different compound from the black 'Tarty' compound? If so I may be tempted to grab a set off you (and possibly a shorter set for up front (about 5mm off one end, stupid Ashton 24/26 forks )

*coughRowanJohnscough*

Bloody hell that's completely nuts

I think you're going about it pretty well myself Pete, although I'd like to see a few riders reviews myself still. Seems like you are taking a bit more care etc over this which is good to see, so well done! Still don't quite understand the "sharp bite and very good modulation" but I guess that just remains to be seen really. Hope it work out for you, even if others don't (Actually, if I was one of these grindy types I'd be tempted to give them a try...)
