  1. Eno's are fully servicable so you may as well open it up and see what the problem is first. Sounds like you might have a broken spring or damaged bearing or something. All replacement parts are available though so investigate first.
  2. Those two tend ot to be spoken in the same sentence in my world...
  3. My guess is the veterinarian, who spent six years learning to do what he does, has a better idea about your birds sick dog than anyone on here. Just a guess. What was his suggestion for a remedy? Try to get it to drink lots of water?
  4. But then why bother distributing products to anyone else in the UK if you're then going to undercut the retailers you've sold to?
  5. Out of interest, when something like that happens where do you stand with the likes of price matches? Are you able to go below the RRP to match another retailers price?
  6. Colourblind? They're yellow and always have been
  7. What about Danny Mac? I reckon I could sit through Way Back Home even if he did do Ali G 'West Side' spackhands after some of the whoppers...
  8. There are a few possible solutions to your problem. First would be to run the tensioners on the outside of the frame. You may need to add spacers/washers inside of the dropouts to take out the 'slack' and reduce any stress on the frame. Other alternatives would be to use screws with smaller diameter heads or otherwise have (probably slightly longer) screws coming from the outside of the frame in, so that the tensioners contact on the threaded part of the screw rather than the head. I hope that makes sense!
  9. Now I don't know if you're being serious or sarcastic .
  10. Yeah, he didn't die doing the jump, just mashed his ankles up so bad he couldn't ride so took his own life a couple of months later .
  11. The thing with that (which makes it not funny) is that Colin took his own life basically as a direct result of that... bad times. Edit: sorry, didn't mean for that to be a dig or depressingly morbid, just pointing it out. Where's Ali and his laughing clown when you need him?...
  12. Turning upside down really won't help! If it's actually leaking you'll be able to see/feel/smell fluid either on the tube or around the fixings or pistons. As said above, sounds more like it's air in the system that needs bleeding out.
  13. He didn't actually bunnygop over the car if it's what I'm thinking of, more rode ont it then did a few static hops on the roof. Still very cool for the time of course! Gotta love dem shorts!
  14. As said, fuel's the main thing. However overall I don't think it'll be that big a deal. I thought about it when it went from 17.5-15% and if you think that if you were to buy a £10,000 car, the difference due to VAT decrease/increase is only ~£250 it's hardly worth bothering about.
  15. I never do but then I'm lazy... I'll let Adam provide a proper answer!!
  16. I find that most LBSs shouldn't be trusted with anything more taxing than a puncture on a rusty old Raleigh and even then I'd expect to get it back with one brake not working and loose pedals. I've done all my own maintenance for as long as I can remember. Learned fairly early on that I knew better than most LBS bicycle mechanics (especially when it came to anything remotely specialist) so never went back.
  17. That's what she said. But seriously, you lube your pad o-rings?
  18. Is that... a cross-stitch OnzaBoyMark Avatar I spy?! New hobby?
  19. As Mark says chain line is no problem at all. I've been running a 128 BB on mine with no issues. No issues with the disc mount either- nicely reinforced and seems plenty sturdy.
  20. First of all you'll need to buy my Inspired! Seriously though, as has been said, there are a few moves which are the basis for more streety stuff but it mainly comes down to your imagination! Watch some Ali C videos and Danny Mac of course and have fun! A lot of it comes down to looking for lines and trying to keep your riding flowing wiht momentum rather than stop-start with static moves.
