What about those of us who uphold the tradition of Sunday Lunch? 3.00 would be better.

I have sunday lunch at 3pm

I put a datatag in my frame and then my frame snapt. This is concrete evidence that datatags cause frames to break.

There's always the unexpected.

It was ok but my back hurts

You're funny.... remember this bit

"but I'm sure he will learn to anticipate and avoid these things in future."

Where's Harry hill when you need him?

You're just seem to be going about this in the old "Not being rude or anything, but your're a cunt" kind of way.

You're clearly missing my point.

If you pulled your head out of your arse then you'd realise that what I meant was that with experience you learn to expect the unexpected.

So now that's cleared up, I'm off to the pub, taraa.

Oh come on... yes you did... well you implied that I allowed myself to be doored by not being vigilant enough or something like that.

Yes, of course I did...

I'm not saying that it's the OP's fault, because it clearly isn't

...clearly.

Oh I see.... I'm obviously a shit rider.

Messenjah, I sincerely hope your luck doesn't change any time soon.

I never said you were a shit rider for fuck's sake, I never even implied that.

But if you want to take it like that then feel free to. Keep on being a 'shit rider' and keep getting doored.

BTW I pulled a sweet sprocket rock barspin to fakie on a bank to rail

You weren't supposed to respond. I had had enough of sitting around so I decided fuck it I'm going to do some stunts. I was merely stating the fact.

ha ha I have done exactly this, paid £10 for a coat and found £30 in a pocket. Charity shops rule.

I bought a 2nd hand coat for £20 and there was £60 in the inside chest pocket.

makes mental note

Time to go around every charity shop and look in all the coats' inside pockets.

A bit simplistic I fear.

This one has happened to me by both taxi and by a private vehicle, both times I just picked myself up and while totally embarrassed about hitting the floor,checked hat I had all my limbs and let them drive off. The passengers have always been panicked and that takes your mind off getting their details... totally natural.

Tons of people don't look what they get out of cars/vans, a post office van nearly got me this morning, had he opened the door two seconds later I would have had no chance what so ever.

So respectfully, "Eyes. Brain. Brakes" Bollox!

Well it works for me, and I've never been doored, despite the fact that plenty of people have opened their doors on me such that I would have gone right into them had I been riding too fast and/or in the 'door zone'. I'm not saying that it's the OP's fault, because it clearly isn't, but I'm sure he will learn to anticipate and avoid these things in future.

Eyes. Brain. Brakes.

Can't believe no-one has said HTFU yet. Is this acronym going out of fashion?

If you've ever wondered what it would be like...

That just shows what it might look like, not what it would be like.

Besides, who's to say the fire wouldn't melt your eyelids and make you blind way before you died?

How dare you? Ginger women are the fucking best.

Really?! Well.. thanks for clearing that up. I really thought it was a golf ball wedge in her crack.
I'll sleep easier knowing this isn't the case.

Good :-)

It's her pants ffs

Imagine what the wench looks like...

right fuck this I'm going BMXing

All manner of crank brands (better and worse) have failed in the past and will fail in the future. Until it becomes a regular occurrence it could be a single manufacturing defect, installation fuckup, maintenance fail, etc. Has anyone else ruined a set of RPM cranks?

http://pardo.net/bike/pic/fail-001/000.html

Yeah you're right, but because I've never had a pair of cranks break before on any of my bikes (even on a bmx that I did loads of really hard sprocket rocks / chainring stalls / whatever you want to call it on) it came as quite a surprise and I'm not keen on buying the same crankset again

Holy jeez, how did you manage that!!!! Did the spider buckle too, or was it just the ring that went. I.e. should I consider replacing just the ring or both. I retract my comments!

Otherwise, I didn't bother with the standard saddle and rims from Pearson and specced my own. My bum's particular and I prefer box section rims.

Two of the spider arms have hairling cracks in. One completely broke off. You can see one broken one in the bottom photo.

My LBS owner has a pair of them on his BMX

Tthat reminds me... any luck recovering your BMW scott?

Tanstaafl

Hubs are the same as my formulas. Had the same one on for 2 years of messengering every day, and have changed the bearings twice. They're OK!

On the plus side, the hubs, bars and levers and brakes are alright. Though no doubt you'll change the bars to narrow hipster bars like I have
