MadManMike Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Got my new forks fitted on the MTB and also a new FSA headset - annoyingly I was sold the wrong thing initially, so spent about 3 hours in traffic jams around Bristol trying to find a shop that sold the right headset for less than £60.All good in the end though, smashing up Forest of Dean on Saturday 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Manager has decided as it's so quiet today, we can all have 2x 45 minute breaks, so on lunch #2 I'm sat with a cold beer in the sun on a rooftop and getting paid handsomely for it. Bliss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isitafox Posted November 6, 2015 Report Share Posted November 6, 2015 Just watched the second half of the Salford City Notts County match and all I can say is wow. Got me thinking though as this morning my son was saying something about a man who's been helping out in his class plays football and was gonna be on the telly, wondering if he plays for Salford (seeing as it's only down the road).

HippY Posted November 7, 2015 Report Share Posted November 7, 2015 My dream bike (Echo 24") is on sale for much cheaper, but I did not even had a doubt that I do not want to sell my current bike, because it just fits me well!Finally, I have a bike that I do not want to change! although that front V brake has to go shortly :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted November 11, 2015 Report Share Posted November 11, 2015 proper schadenfreude this weekend; i sold a bike to a guy a few weeks ago, he's had a few problems with it and he over reacted every time. i've moved away from home so resolving it myself wasn't an option so we'd agreed that i'd refund him the cost of a comprehensive service and we'd call it quits. the bike got stolen and now i don't have to pay out. f**king score. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadManMike Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 When I binned my mtb at Afan I broke my forks. Tredz agreed to the warranty and sent them to SRAM for repair. SRAM have confirmed that they can't fix them, so I'm getting a new set. They're going straight on eBay as I've upgraded since I broke them, I'm just glad they all agreed to sort it so quickly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Customer wanted to buy a bike last thing this evening, the bike needed building, we didn't really have much time before we closed but got it built up for him. He brought us all a beer to say thanks for getting it sorted at such short notice. I really like my job :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuel Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 I pushed through 25 degC whilst running in the new stove - nasty paint curing smell phase is pretty much done. Having a fire is great. Now I've just got to build a wood store and order in a truckload of logs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
