Potato po-tar-to

Probably more Porsche owners here than FGSS riders. Change the forum name to LP.com.

Some of us are both.

I shall go for dinner

I've taken a risk on some tyres via my AMEX

In Australia you'll get lynched if you throw those fuckers back.

I couldn't believe crap fishing, sorry, carp fishing was such a big thing here. Then again, all the rivers here are filled with shit, so maybe it's appropriate.

Probably still cheaper than your disgusting triathlon habit :P

Yeah that wasn't the best call out. Triathlon race entries alone are pretty golf club now although in my defence I am still on 10sp and rim brakes

I am still on 10sp and rim brakes

You say that like it's a bad thing. If someone gave me a disc brake Shiv I'd ride it, but I'm not fucking buying one!

Absolutely not a bad thing just disc brakes on TT bikes have more Golf club membership points for the money than performance benefits

What if the TT bike was being used for, say, a LEJOG record rather than some namby pamby Ironman though? :0)

Isn't the LEJOG record still on a rim brake shiv? Or is that the point your making

It is. My point was more about disc brakes being more useful for (certain fat bastards on) varied terrain than flat out and back courses next to a beach.

The Brits hold big fat things which were originally imported from foreign lands in high esteem. This partially explains the popularity of carp and yourself.

Ha!

Fair point and although I'm only 65 kg at the moment if I don't win My AG at Eastbourne in a couple of weeks I'm blaming it on the brakes

I have hydro rim brakes on my Shiv for the simple reason that the other brakes didn't really do a very good job at stopping me and when I need to stop, I need to fucking STOP.

If it was 10 years ago, I'd not hesitate to get a disc brake TT bike, but I'll probably never buy another TT bike so the rim brake Shiv is fine.

$150m is "down the back of the sofa" money

I love tweed

Even Asda do a tweed.

Please, no context in this thread.

I had a look at the daily mail website
