HippY Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 I had time to practice a wonderful thing called Changing the Front tyre. 4 times in a row. 1 was killed when I was turning relatively high speed, luckily I did not fall and I managed to save my face 2 of them were killed by my parents car pump. 4th was killed because of the evolution. It is so interesting, did you know that there is a plant, that lives where you go by by bike, that has spikes made to puncture your tires and take away all the time that you have to ride?Nature is amazing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 new crewkers 20" has vertical dropouts, and no disc mount or disc hub. surely adding tabs to the frame couldn't have bumped the price that much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's tyres then that's rather an unlucky turn of events Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Tyres or tubes? If it's tyres then that's rather an unlucky turn of events To change the front tube I needed to change the front tyre. But after the 4th changing , and realisation that I have several holes in my tyre, thanks to previous meetings with this beautiful plant, I am glad that we do not have tubeless tyres....

ogre Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 At least £50... would be worth it for the option of a very consistent braking.. super tidy build otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Booth Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Some massive bellend on a roadie just f**ked me off, massively. I followed him through a housing estate to shortcut through to my house, at every junction he didn't signal, nor make space for any other road user. I know on a bike your within your right to make your own space, but riding 3ft away from the pavement in the dark without signalling at all is asking for trouble. Plus constantly undercutting rolling traffic REEEEEALLY f**ks me off. After playing cat and mouse for about 2miles I finally turn onto my street and drive to outside my house, I swing my car into the road to get an easier angle to reverse onto my drive. This guy on the roadie has followed me down my street and while I'm reversing decides to ride behind my car with its reverse lights on. I beep my horn and give a 'dafuq?!' kinda signal, to which he gets off his bike and starts shouting and waving his arms around. I finished my manoeuvre and got out the car, he started ranting about car users have no patience with bikes and everyone's a fanny etc. so I enlightened him as to why I beeped and he decides to shout even more. I told him I'd followed him for a while, seen no indication of where he's going at all and how stupid it was riding behind a reversing car. His reply - 'you should always anticipate a cyclists actions'. What the f**k does that mean?! In the end I got to wound up with him and told him I was a keen cyclist and that hasn't turned me into a massive twat. I don't get it, every downhiller, enduro rider, xc'er, even most recreational commuters ride on the roads sensibly and use common sence. But ever road rider I've ever met, seen on the roads rides like an absolute twat with no idea of how to ride on the road! Lycra does not make you invincible.

AndrewEH1 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) Lycra does not make you invincible. Yeah, but it does squish your balls and turn you into a massive twat though...

Revolver Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Lycra does not make you invincible. I can verify the fact that indeed lycra doesn't make you invincible. It is the wearing of your underpants outside your lycra that makes you invincible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1a2bcio8 Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) Seriously motherf**king f**k. And what the f**k is the ** about in f**k?

Ben Cox Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Bloke who is supposed to be coming to look at/buy my old motorbike keeps f**king me around. He was supposed to come on thursday, but he got stuck on the m25 (fair enough) then sunday I waited in all day for him (no show) now he said he'd be over this morning (still waiting...). Getting a little pissed off, he asked me to keep hold of it for him. But if he no shows again today he can do one! Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 Really annoyed with the college decisions I made. I wish I never did 2 years of photography, looking back on it I wish I did outdoor adventure. When I did the taster day for it I thought it was too easy etc but really wish I'd done it now, seen pictures of what mates have been doing and the jobs that they got out of it... I'm in my 3rd year of college now doing a course working on cars, level 2 car maintenance and repair. I can do another year free next year, not sure if I should do level 3 on cars and fault finding or do the outdoor course. Feel like I'd be way too old to even consider the outdoor course since I'm 19 this summer, the majority of people doing it will be 16/17 and maybe some 18... Wish I could turn back time f**ks sake.
