Out riding last night and it started to rain. Presumably due to industrial pollution from the adjoining smog-blighted wastelands of Lancashire, the rain was soooo acidic, that little ring thing that sits at the bottom of my headset and on top of me fork crown (what they called again?) - anyway, to cut a dull story short, it dissolved.
Being a sustainably minded eco-warrier I fashioned this from trailside Blackthorn:

I reckon I could be onto a winner - thought I'd call it the 'Crown of Thorns'. What do y'aal think?

All I need now is a globally recogniseable celebrity to wear it in my advertising and I'll be rich I tell thee.

Who could I sign up I wonder - time is short, I want to get max exposure over the Easter break......

BOO HOO HOO

How sad are you doing that - no wonder you're called sofa tester. I'm off to end it all.

Some selfish, thoughtless, heathen spoiled it the first time I passed 18 too.

Sorry - sun's over the yardarm.
Just come back from a run, had a shower and I know there's a big bottle of Becks in the fridge.

(in fact what am I doing sat here, typing this, when I'm thirsty and there's a big bottle of Becks in the fridge? (rhetorical))

That reminded me. The "Fanny Bashers" thread really was the funniest one on here. I had to go and have another read of it.

Are we past tea time now? Can we have a beer instead?

Just out of curiosity, what exactly is a headset and what is a crown race? I just saw this long thread tonight and guess people are having an argument or two so haven't read through it. Is that something a mountain biker should know? Cheers

a crown race is one held on land owned by the queen. For instance, a lot of the gorrick series are advertised as crown races, due to being held in swinley forest. if you do well, you get a hat from a cracker which must be attached to your helmet. The colour represents your success, much like tdf jerseys

hth.

And a headset is an attitude, or mindset. The only way that you can win one of the Swinley crown races is to have a very positive headset indeed, so some people say that a headset must automatically come with a crown race. And others don't, which is what this thread is about, but then they don't usually win the right to wear the jerseys in the crackers. So who's right?

How was i again? Oh yeah, brutally unaware that a crown race was to blame for my 'public misunderstanding'.
