Morning all,
Lovely and fresh out there, clear sky and no wind made for a lovely ride in. Actually felt like December temperature wise as well. Getting a bit quiet work wise so trying to tidy up and getting involved in more things to stop me going stir crazy. Bunking off early to sort out the poxy bloody headlight on the old man's car later.
Enjoy the office politics if you play that game. I shall carry on telling it like it is and probably upsetting a few people along the way. If they weren't such tossers they wouldn't get upset when I remind them of the fact.
nearly out of ginger nuts, might have to go to Sainsbury's later.

Morning all, still coughing up lumps of green stuff here so the outlook is bleak.
I would have ridden to work (honestly) but needed to go to Tesco to swap a leaking kettle.
I might charge up the big lights later and go for a gravely play on the Heckler, full on trails are out of the question given the amount of rain we've had here as I know what the trails are like. They're a bit like canals but deeper as the rain runs off the hills.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
Morning all, just bought bagels, they makes me happy.
Ordered new brake pads for the crudder, still can't sort the fork out though, may venture over the workshop section in those dark depths over yonder. Didn't get time to sort out the CX.
London tomorrow for 2 days, a blessing but a curse given the 6:20 train tomorrow morning.
Enjoy your ginger nuts V68, pedalling whilst coughing up green stuff sounds like the type of bad idea I'd do.

Working from home today as I'm off with the kids later to look at a school - can't wait
I will rush back from there as I've got a Christmas party later

You have to man up and show those little buggers that think they can have a free ride in my nasal passages who's boss!
I enjoy playing ejector seat bingo with them round the back of the lake anyway.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
Morning
If I could breathe i'd go pedalling if it wasn't blowing a hoolie and I wasn't looking after toots 1. Toots 2 is due back from nursery, sent home on account of this lingering lurgy.
Last week was a write off, this week is worse.
Bah, sod this mild damp weather. Can we have some cold crispy stuff please?

That's generaly to blame for the amount of germs kicking about isn't it? No cold snaps to kill them off.Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
I need to pop into Halfrauds on the way home to pick one of these up for the girl's birthday.
Should I take a couple of cable ties from work and attach it to the front of this?

Cold.
Rode in, watched some pleb who thought he as "Cav" try and overtake some woman on a shopping bike and nearly plough into a parked lorry down the local cycle path. Pleb.
Oh how I shook my head and laughed at him before crushing into work and putting 4 layers of clothes on and try to warm up. Unsuccessfully.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

I'll give it a go, depends on packaging as I don't want to open anything with it being a present. Cable ties won't hold the beer I suspect.POIDH.
Is that a new sig HD? I approve.0 -
Good fresh pedal in this morning for me too and when I add tonight and Fridays DH mileage that should have Pinno roundly beaten for the second week running
Less politics and more techy tax/treasury stuff so far today. Although office politics can be fun when you tell it like it is so lets see if I get involved in any more this afternoon..."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

Certainly is, some would suggest it was put there to wind some people up, others would say "yes, by god that man is right!"Advocate of disc brakes.0 -
I approve on both counts. But I doubt this surprises you.

What's up with the forks? I have some Rock Shox Judy kicking around for a snip (as its you) if you need something to get you on the road while you get your good forks sorted - nice and clean, never raced or rallied, one lady owner, etc etc.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

If you meet up with him to deliver the shox and you are the same height, width and size as me, can you try that red jacket that Flaneur has for sale and see if it fits me please?seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
Famous words, I can't get it out. Trying to remove the inside of the fork from the outer casing is failing. Thought it was a case of unscrewing the bottom a tad, hitting the key/screw with a hammer a few times, removing screws then sliding out. Doesn't seem to work and they are sticking.
Thanks for the offer MF, may send you a PM if I fail tonight, top car sales speech.
2 bagels for lunch, food of kings washed down with a protein shake and some Evian. Back to the real world of shirking
I do not advocate disc brakes on anything except the crudder and for CX racing.0 -

They only go down very slowly with age. They can however go up quite suddenly.0

It's a bit like a road bike that can stop when it's raining, isn't scared of mud and can take tyres big enough to cope with the state of our roads.0

...but that's like... sensible. Why tf do you want sensible? People wouldn't have anything to moan about in Road General if we all bought 'sensible'.seanoconn - gruagach craic!0 -
It's not just sensible, it's ubersensible:
Yes, I did ride it home like that. It wedged between the sti's so made braking and changing gear a bit awkward.0 -
They would, the title of the thread would be something like..

Thank you, I'm honoured to have earned your potatoes. Unfortunately the Mrs didn't see it, she probably would think it perfectly reasonable. Got some funny looks fitting it in the shop.0
