LOL - I was reading it in reverse

Undiagnosed dyslexia?? Thats exactly what I'd do

Actually, thinner seatposts are more comfy. 27.2 in Ti would be a good option. Fit a shim if necessary. Alu frames are, typically, the most unforgiving too (though much can be done with design and manufacture to help overcome this). Yup... thats what I was meaning Colin sorry.. was asking him if ma...

Just sat doing my accounts (dont you hate such things :sad: ) for the respirator appeal and yet again I thought about how sad it'll be that we don't have to fight for a golden ticket on whichever 10am it is that the event is sold. What a sad year for mountain biking (amongst many other much more sad...

Mike, to be forgiving on the spine... Isnt it better thinking more about the whole kaboodle (who on earth invented that word!). I used to have spine problems way back when and I slowly experimented with various framesets etc. Have you got an alu frame with a large diameter seatpost. Them 2 places wo...

3 things I forgot to mention. 1. By giving the money straight to the unit it means they can hopefully claim back the vat on the units of which I will suggest that ots what we roased the money for. Potentially they should be able to get almost 3 full units/kits from the fund. 2. There is another flea...

Hi all. Bear with me as my dyslexia has always meant (organisational difficulties) that I'm not very good at, well, organisational stuff. Hence why sometimes my posts are all over the place. Opened up a new thread to explain where yer moneys gone/going and whats been happening with 'kit' and orderin...

Erm.. Regards Reg. Wasn't his BAm last month. This comp is for BAM-April (new financial year and all that jazz)... sorry Rg (using the no vewels rule as it keeps me entertaiend)... 'Twas indeed April - 4th to be precise :wink: . Sean has me bang to rights though - I didn't carry everything in my ba...

NB. Hands up if anyone wishes to take the lead in running it (til the end... of the month that is and then making the vot8ng etc using peoples names etc etc... surely someone might have a few free minutesl..

I think Reg may already have won this however Not so fast there... 1. Must be in yer garden with a ride pre or post it (the rest is up to you) and the ride can be a virtual one... which obviously means you could indulge and do 100s of miles but obviously you'd be carryibg you actual gear like a ret...

I'm out. Self-isolation means I can't leave the garden for a ride, though I could camp in it.

No problem though. As you know I'm not the competitive type

How littles your grdn Colin?

How simple is that??

Winner decided via voting.

Pictures are good but no naked rides please (mtb pants as a minimal (call that rule x)

Here we go. Seems everyone liketh a good old comp. Will try not to inundate it with rules. Just try not to inundate your report with how much you had to drink of liver-affecting beverages pre or post the BAm. Rules: 1. Must be in yer garden with a ride pre or post it (the rest is up to you) and the ...

I only bloody well rode the thing didn't I!!! :-bd Needed to pick up some hinges (for a work project) so I got my paperwork in order and rode the 12km round trip into Chamonix and back in the glorious sunshine and on empty roads. Aaaaahhh!!! Felt like that scene in Shawshank where the cons all get ...

I'm not sure but... Seems like there is competition potential here from the site itself, no?? Is it of the opinion that this (if it was a local BB competition) route should/could just be made for now and ridden later post 'troubles' situation... Or is it a comp where they wnckurage riders to go ride...

Just seen the rest ... so... nor should Colin

Just worked out one from home (https://www.strava.com/routes/25068663) 76km with 2098m of climbing and the furthest it gets from home is one bit about 10km away. There are still five climbs I've not been able to fit in

Shaf, do you want me to send you a spare flare bracket?

Top bannana. Yes please kind sir...

Yeah... becomes long and drawn out for me and already a bit tired from all this just a bit though...

Gonna see if I can find anywhere else later that might potentially have some respirators in stock but potentially highe rprices. I dont think I'll get anywhere though.

Thanks again all

Hesitate to muddy the waters here cos you're spending your own time doing this, but bearing in mind the large amount now raised might be worth exploring VAT reclaim if there's a handy VAT-registered entity around somewhere.... Reg... veey good point sir. Had a think about it and realised that (apar...

no more donations please people Reason being. The chap I put in the order with, I just spoke with him. There's a backlog of 18000 units at the manufacturers end. He's not got our physical units in stock anymore cos I should have ordered by 1700 on that Wednesday (or Thurs) when I spoke to him... He...
