Occasionally? Regular training technique when I was a junior, it's called a Norwegian Score.

2013-ish Tower Pro 29er fork 100mm travel, MARS Air spring, ABS+ Damping Tapered steerer, cut to 180mm 15mm Hex Lock axle. Very good condition, work very nicely. No nicks or scratches on uppers, some dings and cable rub patches to paintwork on lowers Pics on Dropbox HERE £120 posted / £110 collected...

Sold, I'm afraid.

House for ages, then try and sell (with varying degrees of success) usually just as demand for any given item plummets...

I'll never think about Lieutenant Hoolahan the same again :oops: She was a Major... Not when I knew her :-bd That long ago since I've seen MASH that I've forgotten most of the characters names and ranks. The original (Donald Sutherland/Elliot Gould) is probably my favorite film of all time. Both it...

Podium bottles are good, but the valve system is a git to clean properly, and they don't fit well in the Tao cages I use on my road bike. Sometimes it's a case of sticking to a single manufacturer. On both my MTBs I use Specialized cages (Ribcage normal-access and Zee side-access cages) which work b...

Sorry to the people that have been waiting - someone had PM'd me about nabbing it but hasn't responded further after pics.

Pics of the Possum HERE, including the repair.

Cheers!

Hadn't heard it was on and I'm away this weekend unfortunately. Shame!

And haven't Specialized just put an upside-down Headshok into the new Roubaix? We'll be back to Killer V frames and Hite-Rites in no time...

Messaged you about the Neo Air.

Have a look on NextDayTyres - http://nextdaytyres.co.uk/search.aspx/MTB-650B

Looks like a few possibilities as a commute tyre:
Continental Tour Ride
Schwalbe Hurricane, Landcruiser, Marathon - various versions, Mondial/Cross/Plus
Vittoria Revolution Gplus

Looks excellent, looking forward to hearing more about it. We do a kayak trip out to the Briancon area every year in June/July, so that first leg of the trip's got me thinking...

Wheels - check Adapter - check (just the one needed, rear is QR already) Rotors - check Cassette - check Skewers - think mine came with a skewer for the rear, but that set would work just fine. Hence the offer to post you a front one if you need it, I know I've got a spare knocking about you're more...

Yeah, Centerlock is the way the rotors attach - a toothed fitting and a lockring as opposed to the 6-bolt fitting other wheels have. Freehub is already there on the wheelset, so it would be the wheels, adapter, rotors, cassette and a second quick release if you don't have one. If you go that way, I ...

Essentially, anything that's 27.5" (or 650b to use the road terminology) and QR axled will work. Were I looking at spending your money, I'd use the stock wheels on the bike as my commute wheels, and buy a nice reduced set of Shimano XT one for 'best'/MTB use - they're reduced significantly at M...

Continuing the garage clearout. Got a pair of BB7 road brake calipers in silver. No mounting hardware and the rubber bits have long gone I think, but the bodies themselves are in good nick. Brand new set of pads in one, nearly new set in the other. Pics at Dropbox linky - £35 posted or £30 collected...

Riders at The Heb adventure race on the beach near Orasaigh/South Boisdale, South Uist

Will chuck some up tonight Naffa.

Re-bumping this as I've still got a slightly-surplus-to-requirements Large Possum. A mate borrowed it for a trip to the US and returned it with a repair, due to a raccoon having a wee nibble trying to get at a cereal bar inside. I'll take some pics, but it's a well-done double-sided repair, shaped a...

Ah, apologies. I was looking at it on mobile and that spec grid didn't show up.

Yeah - 850/1900 is the normal dual band for the US.

Where are you getting that info? Couldn't see anything on particular bands, only that it takes dual SIMs if needed.

Ride clipped in all the time. Always feel like it's more efficient and more controllable, the last time I was forced to ride flats I was all over the shop.

If anyone's after chalk bags to use as food pots on their bars, the latest On-One sale's got two sizes of POD bags for a quid.

Very nice! It's on my X in that pic.

Where are you based, dependant on distance I'm happy to meet part way if it helps.
