i have the 08 & 09 390's. buy them. you'll thank me for it. ....
Get the 390's. ....
...and I did. cheers. having you guys narrowing it down and then checking around a bit more it fell on the discounted 390s. I'm all for a bit of consensus.
won't get to use them for another few months though :-S
-
and another one. just to celebrate their versatility.
-
wow. that makes me feel old.
+1
or hang on. maybe it makes me feel young? suddenly not sure.
-
... alternatively you could find out where vinylvillain lives. you could rob a 10th of his stash and he wouldnt even notice!
Good point, let's organise a forum smash and grab at vinylvillains. I've got dibs on the teakettle and fairy liquid.

And, they have Rome bindings.
Again, it seems that the brand itself is dumping their old season. If the new season will be called 10 that is.
Amazon.com: Rome 390 09 Men's Hard Snowboard Bindings - Black / White: Sports & Outdoors
Amazon.com: Rome Shift 09 Men's Hard Snowboard Bindings - Medium - Black / White: Sports & OutdoorsFair enough, in the price range I am browsing, they look fairly spartan though.... Can't object to the snugness of Relay Pros, but way out of my budget this season I am afraid.
-
But, the relays don't have capstraps do they?
Anyhow, I've spotted how american amazon seems to be a dumping ground for surplus stock. They even sell 08 stuff there.
Relays on sale there too, but not sure what is what. The silver and white ones would fit the colours scheme of my board.
-
hmm.. isn't now pretty much end of season? before 09/10 stuff properly hits the shelves?
that's the main reason why I am browsing now. -
hmm... can make this one into a product enquiry thread too?
If so, Rossignol Vipers at 60 quid. A good buy? A good brand overall? Or am I just being blinded by their claim to offer an over 50 % discount on RRP?
I am hoping to find something decent (and new!) under a 100 quid. Suggestions?
-
wow. that is nice.

Those police horse vehicles are bad enough in an brutish HGV kind of way, but when I closed up behind one at a red light just now I saw that horse piss was pouring out from below the double doors at the back. Looked like enough to fill buckets. Obviously I didn't stay and take it in for long as I realised a sudden gush of wind would have me covered in a spray of piss.
Only solution I could think of was to cane it to the front and across the red light in front of the old bill. They probably weren't out to bother cyclists anyway.
-
what saddle is that? I has not seen a 'racing' saddle with spring before.
no idea, was stuck on a frame I had before that I gave up on and never built up.
-
my new bike's on fgg.com today so now I am sharing it with you. hardly fits into 'current projects' since I reckon I am pretty much done fiddling with it.
anyways, here goes:
-
the brick lane boys seems to have gotten hold of a fg/ss again.
didn't get up close but spotted a green frame, I think it's a road frame, without decals. silver drop and seatpost. the drops have brown leather bartape a la brooks. the seat is black or possibly a dark tanned brooks? the headset has some black in it and the seatstays are black as far as I can see.
anyone?
-
... just training to be honest, general fitness, aiming to break myself each and every time I hit the mat, ...
if you max out when you work weights etc (that's how I interpreted it at least) don't you find you get more clumsy when doing MMA? having stiff muscles and all?
I suppose stretching does a lot for you, but any other tips? -
Silly, but there is about three threads going at the same time roughly discussing the same stuff:
Leather hand grips:
http://www.londonfgss.com/thread27985.html
DIY toe straps:
http://www.londonfgss.com/thread27031.htmlThen it's this one about saddles.

Who here knows about leather?
Further to the excellent stuff done so far in this thread, has anyone ever tried to extend this to having the same leather on handlebars and toestraps as well? Partly to save dosh, but also because it might look really nice to have the same stuff all over the bike. Simplest question first; where do I buy it?
What kind of leather would you reccommend? I suppose there might be a problem with the seat requiring quite thin leather while the toestraps should ideally be as thick as possible. Perhaps the leathersupplier can do several thicknesses/qualities in the same dye? If anyone has actually done this, what kind of tool did you use for the stiching bit? I remember seeing a step by step guide online before, but can't find it now. Lastly, what stuff to treat the leather with -if at all?
-
need a seatpost. would like to pick up tomorrow, Sunday 23.8.
PM pls.
====================
Don't need it anymore, thanks. -
wouldn't it be more pretentious to claim I've got a new bike coming when (hopefully) 80% of the components stay the same?
-
I am taking the liberty to hijack this one, since the issue seems to be solved but the headline fits my question.
Cranks on my current build unscrew themselves somehow and start creaking. This goes away with a bit of fastening with an allen key and everything is nice and smooth again. They loosen only if I skid hard, but if I do, they can loosen quite a bit actually.
Oh, perhaps worth mentioning I'm a cheapskate, shimano UN-54 and stronglight crankset - part of the problem might lie there really.My question is: for the new build I have in the pipeline, how can I absolutely make sure I avoid this stupid problem? Does anyone know of a some golden combinations of BB and crankset which can handle a bit of skidding? And presuming I'll have to pay more for this, what is the improvement I am really paying for? Are there any other things to keep in mind?
-
weight of pink frame and fork?

or your bike is anorexic.
have you considered therapy?
-
... That's actually rather worryingly light ...
yep, rusting away on the inside presumably
