I'm sorry but I simply don't believe some of those numbers. Who eats 36 steaks a year ? I consider myself a meat eater, I like a steak but I never eat anything like that many in a year which means someone else is eating more steaks to account for the steaks I'm not eating, then you have the...

Ah but that's conveniently ignoring a huge part of the carbon footprint, I'll accept your premise that an electric motor is more efficient in it's use of energy than a human after all the human produces plenty of waste heat as they pedal their bike but once you add in the recharging of the ebike...

Hi I'm interested in the fork but I'm having trouble identifying which model it is, do you have and pics of the fork from the top ? Also in case it's not just air sprung do you know what weight spring is inside it ? thanks

Are you any good with electronics ? There is an Owners manual on the hifiengine website that has a circuit diagram and lists component values, sadly I didn't find a service manual but with some patience you could follow the diagram and test it with a multimeter. In case your not a member of...

Stainless steel also is very prone to galling, and it's not as strong as steel so be wary if you're tempted to bling up your bike with stainless bolts. I hope someone can save that frame, I've always had a soft spot for Bianchi bikes ever since I saw Pantani seeming riding up mountains...

Yeah I'd totally agree with that sentiment, get the relevant manual from Eighty-aid * to help you. I gave my Lefty DLR a full strip and rebuild when I bought it last year off here, a few of the shim strips and the roller bearings were pitted from long term sitting/lack of maintenance, so...

How about it actually has to be a bike rather than a showroom queen that never gets ridden and filthy ? Yes I can appreciate a beautifully finished bike but I'd much rather see a bike being ridden than hung on a wall 'cos it's too precious to be used. (I'm gonna put my flak jacket on now and...

That maybe so but this is where the governing bodies should insist and test that the bikes are robust enough to survive the race without falling apart. For example there has been a spate of carbon handlebars that have snapped on riders whilst riding. Sooner or later a rider is going to be...

Oops! In my defence, I've never heard of her. If that many riders are going down it's unlikely to be due to rider skill or the lack of it, far more likely that the latest tech isn't suitable for the conditions or the riders haven't learnt the limits of the new kit or it could just be the usual...

Shame those bars behind his back weren't linked to his handlebars then he could steer in that position.

Might help if you say what size seat tube it clamps around and whether it's top or bottom pull. If it's 31.8mm I'm interested...

Hi Is this still for sale ? If so I'm interested.

Slang for a tourist, it's a derogatory term for them as they usually dawdle along getting in your way.

Same here, as a youngster I got such a kick from overtaking cars going down hill, I clearly remember the absolute look of disbelief on one driver's face was priceless as I went past at 50+ mph :cool: Later I switched to mountain biking and I had far more crashes than I ever did on my road...

If you don't like the risks do something else, it's not like these athletes couldn't hold down a job at McDonalds flipping burgers...

The simple fact is these people choose to do this for a living, people are killed at work in just about every profession, should we ban work entirely ? I'd hate to see descents neutralised or avoided altogether, Sprinters don't enjoy the mountain stages, the climbing specialists don't enjoy...

I take it the shim has a slit in it so it can compress with the clamp to grip the seat post ? Just a thought is the gap in the shim big enough ? the shim could be closing up before it clamps down onto the seat post fully...

Hi I expect this is rarer than hen's teeth and rocking horse droppings combined, but does anyone have a Project 321 Lefty steering adapter ? It should be a 1 1/8" steerer tube and a pair of clamps to fit a lefty shock. I've been looking for a one for a while and if I have no joy then I'll...

Are you ripping your own music or downloading stuff ? Most of my music is ripped from CD to FLAC, the program I use rips and tags it for me automatically, then I use Foobar2000 to add replaygain info so all my music is able to be played at a consistent volume level thus defeating the "loudness...

32 inch TV.... Ha Ha ! Oh yeah, also got a projector & screen :cool:
