Trialtech if you want bite and hold.

What the f**k are fries?...

Yeah my EngD was sponsored by them so I helped develop the aero package for the Focus WRC06 and the Fiesta S2000 and RS WRCs for them. Although I was supposed to send a couple of years up there because everything wind tunnel wise was in Southampton I only spent about 3 months up there plus the odd brief visit for meetings etc.

Glad you're ok. Out of interest where do you work? Somewhere near Workington/Cockermouth? (Worked at M-Sport for a bit so know some of the roads round there.)

I thought it might be an ABS sensor but it does look like it's about to rip itself out... double use as a droop stop!

Quick question @Pashley26...

Because 'Merica? Got to plug in that donut machine somewhere when you're on the john.

I got mine from Trials UK and would be happy to recommend them-quick service and no problems at all.

Sounds like a bleed is required.

Not strictly true. That's only the case if the payment comes from your Paypal balance or a linked bank account. If you use a credit card someone still has to pay the 3.4% + 20p or whatever.

I'm quite tempted to get a 1/18 Maverick Ion for messing around with... any thoughts? I used to have a Kyosho Raider 1/10 buggy and a Tamiya Vanessa's Lunchbox years ago but quite like the idea of having a small scale toy to keep in the car and whip out when I'm bored waiting for kids coming through a Duke of Edinburgh checkpoint or something. Don't really want to spend too much so ~£85 for a RTR doesn't seem silly.

To be fair, all he does is clean the damn thing and occasionally drive like a granny down the motorway from the sounds of it so he'll only be losing out on half of that excitement and the rest of us won't be stuck behind another numpty in a hot hatch who doesn't really want to get to where they're going...

Max said his dad would've kicked him in the nuts if he'd given the place away and the team now supports his decision... go figure.

I've always enjoyed the mechanical part of riding and with the kids now it's quite nice to disappear into the garage once they're in bed and rebuild my MTB from my hardtail frame to the FS or whatever. And for simple stuff like truing wheels I'd certainly never consider taking it anywhere.

Not if you go to your LBS. 90% are shit at what they do and know nothing about anything remotely specialist.

Both set up, owned and run by Dave Cleaver, ex Tartybikes co-conspirator.

Did they make 306's in 1990? Edit: Wikipedia says no. 93 was the first year.

Whaaat?!

Anyone got any experience of 50s? Thinking about doing a 5 hour of road endurance race for charity next year. A reinforced scooter sounds like fun but haven't had any experience of cvt drive train etc... Also on the road am really looking forward to seeing what the new Husky 701 ends up like. Possibly my next bike all being well...

I've got a Park disc facing tool if you need to give the mounts a once over.

Does Adam not have about 12 of them sitting round at work?!

Nah, seems fair to me.

Yeah, agreed. I put it on this morning and ended up skipping through the wordy stuff to find some riding.

Way too much nattering but here we go:

Gah, story on the BBC site about people who took out interest only mortgages and 'didn't think about what they were getting into or paying back the loan'. f**kwits.
