well, I find the urbans very flexy, I have also snapped more than one pair. Sure the Inspired forks are expensive, but the quality is second to non.

can't recommend going to this enough!

I am far to good looking to be confused with Danny!

I am reserving judgment. sure it felt good when stood on two wheels, but so do some mods the real test for me is in the riding. I am sure a LOT of people will love this bike but I am too used to 26" wheels, even the 2" difference is enough to throw me. Plus, I still think its a little jack of all trades master of non but I am willing to be proved wrong. It is nice looking though

that ones easy, the balls reflection is actually another ball, they are held together with magnets and when he pulls the ball away with the cloth, the other ball falls down. I have never seen that trick before, but the way he never picks the ball off the table and pulls the cloth off with what looks like a ball sized lump in it gives it away a little Dam, Rowan beat me too it

high performance tartybikes pads. these create friction when applied against the rim, magic happens and the bike stops

couldn't disagree more!

welcome to the club.

there is a tube welded onto the seat tube to stand on. I fell off it on my first run as I hit some rocks I didn't see, hurt my finger

its pretty indestructable, but bear in mind that its designed for dot fluid which is a lot thinner than magura mineral oil, so it will make your brakes slower to react, its not such a problem with water though, but its still a bit slower than standard hosing.

I like the good old filling the resevoir up, undoing the bleed nipple on the caliper, pulling the lever and while its pulled, close the bleed nipple and let go of the lever.....this sucks the fluid through the brake (and repeat), I have never failed to get a perfect bleed this way and its quicker than a maggie!

lets just say I am glad I don't drink!

not on weekends I am afraid

you may not be proud of them Tim, but I think they are corkers! Thanks for up loading them, are you still in Leeds? I am well up for another ride! PS, LMAO at Stans last pic!

they are pretty sweet, the effect is growing on me a bit (thought it was one ugly duckling at first). The main thing that annoys me is the silly narrow bars, I don't know for fact but they must be around 25" wide!

got about 7" on the floor here, though most of the main roads are clear so I have been able to get to work so far. I would rather there not be any snow though, I wanna ride!

I had a king headset once...never had one again...nuff said! I have a hope in one of my bikes now, its OK I guess, a cheaper FSA one works just as well, weighs about the same and is a lot cheaper! Also the Echo SL headset is a pretty good bit of kit!

We'll need a lot of rain to get it cleared of snow by the 30th! I'll be up for it though when its clear again

I have had more than one eno slip consistantly. My echo sl has been the most reliable freewheel I have ever had

martyn is ace, plus I am suprised Hawsy pissed you off, what did he do? He is one of the funniest guys I have met

Maybe I am more positive in my head than on the forum (probably get all my good vibes used up when answering the phones), but I see people who make worse comments than me.

I guess I do but if I don't like something, I arn't going to make a positive comment am I? Same as most people. Likewise if I do like something, I'll make a positive comment.

frame is good looking, but that geo is not my cup of tea, the old python was the worst bike I have ever ridden!
