Didn't Reeve have an 'exciting' motorway incident many years ago due to a wheel bearing?

Do the moccs fit you/would do if broken in. I'm a small nine, and was always a 7/7.5 in old anasazi. I seem to remember people saying moccs needed a to be a touch smaller. Might just go for them anyway, as a comfy board shoe which i need atm

Shakespear walks into a bar.

The Bartender says "Out - you're Bard!"


Bartender: "I kicked an Oscar winning Spanish Actor out of the pub last night for being drunk and rowdy"

Punter: "Javier Bardem?"

Bartender: "Yes, but if he apologises I'll let him in again"

I just saw that in memorandum the BBC site now has his 1995 essential mix up. - I taped it off the radio onto cassette back in 1995!
Fond memories of hearing him at Speed in London and at the Tribal Gathering festival!

Cheers for that.. just been listening. I think I must have had it on tape too, I seem to be able to recall all the words, as you do. Was a massive LTJ, PFM  Looking Good/Good Looking fan.

Is she not meant to be training for the Olympics?
Get her of Burden

Presumably this was a recovery ride on a rest day...

Yeah, it only took half an hour out of her schedule, plenty of time for a lead session in the evening.

Tue - AM as usual.
...Board fitness increased by 100%, this inevitably means that problems' difficulty must have decreased by 100%, because the glass is always, always half empty.

Hah!

Remind me, what's the usual AM routine? Still committed to the no rest days protocol?

Or the best pre-Olympic "flex" in climbing history.

As per JB, if braking makes it go down it's more likely to be bearings.

One thing you could try, at very minimal cost, is a diff fluid exchange and analysis. Should be easy enough DIY, and quite cheap at a garage.

Analysis can be free (look at oil, see if it's full of metal shiny particles/chunks etc.).

If you are planning on keeping it a while, worth doing gearbox oil at that age too. Manufacturers don't put gearbox oil in their service schedule, but it really isn't a "life long" fluid, unless you want the car life to equal the gearbox life...

If the diff was going, new fluid would shut it up for a while. If it then turns out to be bearings, your diff will last even longer.
