  1. the age old classic saying needs to be practiced more and not just preached ...ie DONT judge a book by it's cover.
  2. look again - it has two securing points. one right below the saddle as well. you will be standing all the way.
  3. the Stihl is worth much more

  6. you did nothing wrong. 1.he was / is a prick for his attitude 2. he must look ahead and plan his path 3.finally he needs his brakes checked.
  7. the groupset will not fail you, the frame - well ..?
  8. walked into the V&A Nespresso on the weekend and opted for my usual dose of s good cuppa. was told that its more a coffee tasting bar now than a coffee bar for their customers. no more free coffee as before when did this policy change
  9. go the Chorus route.- might be a touch heavier but worth the upgrade better lever/ grip is the main difference. 10sp is being replaced by 11sp in all the brands on the market - soon 10sp parts are going to become scarce and expensive. the first chorus was / is still alum. front and rear deraillers - this was changed to all carbon with steel bolts instead of ti. the gearing of the 11 gear opens up a range of gearing options - depending on your riding style and needs. it could be of benefit if chosen correctly.
  10. Sram is good for MTB . Shimano is good for fishing
  11. it would just be wrong to put anything but Campagnolo on the Oltre. here is mine.
  12. a brake system is a closed loop system. contamination is going to be caused by one of two things , either a leaking seal ( which should be causing a loss of fluid ) , or being contaminated by the atmosphere via the continuous heating and cooling down of the brake fluid. so if the seals are leaking replace them. ( possible brand fault ) it should not be necessary to be bleeding brakes every now and then, even if you riding everyday. this being said, if bleeding is done properly the lever feel should remain fairly constant until the boiling point of the fluid is reached and exceeded causing a soft lever and thus a loss of stopping power. ( that's the users fault not the the make of brakes ) NB:this is my 2c worth based on my experience with my bike and also in the motor / engineering industry. at the end of the day mine is and has been working just fine for the last 3years. maybe others are not that lucky
  13. just dont use the brakes
  14. been on XX for 3years, not a single problem. have not replaced pads or bleed the system in 3years as yet. i have a few mates rolling on XX and they were on Shimano. could it not be rider use perphaps.
  15. did you have a hard drive loaded with the routes via Dave or did you downlaoad them form VT yourself
  16. some of the hubbers here have had a hard drive loaded with routes by Dave, how did that turn out.( is the routes as expected) considering sending mine there for the copy.

  18. 10 speed crank/ blades works with 11speed.

  20. regards the ext. drive - the routes that Dave loaded, do they have video and sound or just video. i spoke to him this morning,the software is in for some change .for the better apparently. Sufferfest videos will compatible soon amoungst other things. ipad version is getting an upgrade first

  22. may i jump on this band wagon too regard the sufferfest file. will send a pm
  23. gosh my pc only got fixed now.anyway my question for the it boffins here i am an android user with a Galaxy 10in just laying around and could put it to some use. now i have the ant usb stick which came with the P.Beam. i also have the Samsung connector adapter which makes the usb work on the tablet. ( my son watches movies from the tablet using the connector/adapter, usb stick , hdmi cable to the tv. works like a bomb ) i would like to use the tablet with the virtual software , have the software control resistance and view via hdmi on the big screen. ....ja ja ja ja i want a lot ... can this be done?
  24. if i may. i did this research. its about 5k more and bigger. not a huge amount of difference between the two for 5k
