Sub human scum. Guy in VW Golf ploughs through cyclists, RAGING

SDK^ · 27 Feb 2011 at 21:59

That is shocking :mad:

He deserves to be sued for every penny he has then a life sentance! Sickly sickly person.

VaderDSL · 27 Feb 2011 at 22:06

Yeah horrible video, scum needs to be locked away. Good news apparently no one was seriously hurt/killed and apparently he's heading to court according to info from another forum.

It's horrible to watch, like that video in Cairo was it? When that car ploughed through all the protestors.

janesssssy · 27 Feb 2011 at 22:08

That is ******* terrible!

booyaka · 27 Feb 2011 at 22:30

I feel sick watching that - horrible stuff

Draeger · 27 Feb 2011 at 22:33

If that vid was posted in the "Motors" section, there are quite a few muppets in there who would say the driver deserved a medal. :rolleyes:

Just about to order my bike but the list of potential tyres is MASSIVE!!!

Too long a list even to quote them!! Mostly all Schwalbe stuff

What's best/reasonable option - all the Schwalbe stuff is half price at the moment.

The Nobby Nic is a good all rounder.

Ergh, the rubber seal on my rear brake lever reservoir (Juicy 7;s) gave up the ghost this morning, dot 5.1 all over the place, I've got another seal on order but the Avid bleed kit is £40!! I've seen an alternative one for a lot less here: http://www.reddogracing.co.uk/itemdetails.php?partno=22

Anyone used one?

Nice find, what's the difference between the Evo and the Performance Nobby Nic?

SDK^ · 28 Feb 2011 at 17:40

Evo is their top end tyre - light weight and fast roller rubber. Unless you are racing performance is fine.
They have changed the rating system for this years tyres to Pace Star, Trail star and Vertstar.

Big Chris · 28 Feb 2011 at 18:10

I might bag a pair of regulars then, unless I should be considering something else as an all-round tyre moving into Spring/Summer for trail use?

(thread needs more bike porn..)

Well, ordered some BOS Deville's from BikeTart (full pic further up page) was worried they were going to go up in price (sod's law) they probably won't as there's a 170mm tapered version with different axle on the horizon but the nearest Fox competitor is more expensive anyway.

Frickin' sexual CNC details

Phwoah

They may be going on a Transition Covert (testing one out at Dalby this Sunday) or the Specialized Enduro 2010 frame if one comes up for sale, flogging current frame/shock/fork kit so it'll offset the price quite a bit, should be a decent frameset and fork to hopefully keep me going for a long time. Full service intervals on the BOS forks is once every 2 years apparently, with a lower leg oil change every 12 months.

Anyone know if Hope floating saw rotors work with Juicy 5 calipers?
