    The cooking thread

    Spinach and feta agnolotti with pesto sauce and a chunk of the cheap coles garlic bread. Sauce is garlic and chilli flakes, bacon, onion, tomato and green pesto with a couple of ladles of pasta water stirred in (can't remember the right term, but it makes this so much nicer) and a handful of...

    Norco 6...

    Yeah, I kinda want another one to go on the manik but I've got an '03 DJ1 which is basically the same thing but only 130mm... otherwise I can drop a 66 to 150mm but that seems like a bit more trouble than it's worth, what with it being a bit of a boat anchor...

    I've got a soft spot for old Norcos, but that's not right. Although, I wonder what they'd value mine at...

    Would they not enjoy the whip a bit too much?

    Norco 6...

    I picked the frame up for 60 bucks, and put one of those DNM RL air shocks on it, which worked ok but then I got even fatter and was looking at nearly 50% sag at max pressure. Got hold of a CR after missing out on the black Friday sales and its freaking awesome. Rear creaks a little (may be...

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    Rode it again, twice in a week must be some sort of record for me! I really shouldn't have gone out as everything was still very soggy, but ended up doing one trail then a fire road loop. Did a beginner trail at the end and nearly ate shit when a braking bump puddle swallowed my front wheel...

    What did you do TO / WITH / FOR your bike today!

    I actually rode it, for the first time in a long time... love the Bomber CR, night and day compared to the DNM air thing that was on it before (it did do the job though, till I got too fat.) I really enjoyed myself, hills are not my friends though and I nearly threw up which hasn't happened in a...

    XT M755 brake hose

    I did see that... might go to the lbs with half an idea (me, not them) and see what they say - if people are making frankenbrakes with 755 callipers and newer levers/hoses then maybe... i do have a set of newer brakes (mt200 maybe?) i could convert, but would rather keep them whole if i can...

    XT M755 brake hose

    So in theory, could I get one of those and put it in the other end of one of these? https://www.bikebug.com/shimano-sm-bh90-sbm-1700mm-disc-brake-hose-xtr-xt-deore-slx.html

    XT M755 brake hose

    The lines have banjo connections at both ends... anyone know if the banjo is the same size for the new stuff as for the m755?

    XT M755 brake hose

    Hey all. I need to replace the hose on some m755 brakes and was just wondering if there're any bodges out there for this - the only original ones I've found on ebay are way too long... I've found these which look like they might work (and am assuming there's a non Temu equivalent that I might be...

    Yep... so bloody dirty... apparently you had to pre register for the sale too - something about restricting scalping and keeping a lid on ticketmasters bullshit... I see that worked really well

    Little Things You Hate

    Pearl Jam ticket prices... 2-300 for nosebleed at Carrara? What the fuck? I particularly like how there's a note that says something about tickets being priced at market value too...
