  1. seems to be a rule of thumb mate that does, I thought I was around the 15st mark but really I was 16 and a bit, 3 months and a load of hard work later and I'm 14st 5lbs. So it's more than doable if you put your mind to it.. Looking to get down to 13st 7 and stay there if poss..

  5. seconded, been back riding for 2 months now, loving every minute, off to Mousehole heath this weekend to warm up for the strumpy splash and dash..
  6. me too noj, if I can reach 13 and a half stone I'll happy camper. Weight management clinic eh? I can imagine the group talks now, my name is Chris and I love hobnobs etc. Before you know it there will be a full blown debate raging about the merits of jammy dodgers vs foxes crunch cream..
  7. So how are you all getting along then? Any news? I seem to have hit a brick wall at the moment weight loss wise as I'm hovering around the 93kg mark, doing around the 12 mile a day mark on the bike and 20 mins of elliptic training. Ha do hike the daily calories a bit though so that may explain the plateaux that I've reached. Currently I'm averaging between 1500 and 1800 as the 1200 was leaving me feeling weak..
  8. Quick update, 93kg today persistence really does pay off, down to 1000/1200 calories a day though which is a little bit hard to be honest.. Swimming last night really showed up how little overall strength I have so that's the new excersise I'm incorporating to get my strength up..
  9. wow purcy, that's the result of taking steroids long term for asthma? I feel for you fella, never suffered with something like that myself but my wife sister does and I witnessed one of her more severe attacks and it was scary stuff..
  10. Just entered my first mountain biking event it's called the strumpy splash and dash and it's in the grounds of strumpshaw Hall not far from Norwich, should be fun as I haven't ridden in an event since my twenties (20 years ago) I remember thinking back then how do these older guys do it? Guess I'm gonna find out. Perfect motivation to train though, 82mins of riding today and 15mins of cross trainer
  11. I ran those rims on my jato for a few weeks so no durability test but they were plenty wide try em out and report back..
  12. I snapped loads of axle cups on my first xs due to poor era set up, the main reason I found was that on the Hpi hubs there is a molded lug on the axle carriers that prevents excessive travel, this isn't present on aftermarket alloy carriers and it allows a badly set epa to release the dog bone from the cups..
  13. gotta be a black rim, I'm liking the translucent blue.. Looks kinda pearlescent..
  14. nice work dave, I'm planning on getting back out shortly. What wheelset are you gonna run?
  15. Got any pics fella? Diagnosis is always easier with eyes on.. Are you sure you put it all back together right, if it's only happening when you turn in a certain direction it suggests to me that either the camber setting is wrong or the end point adjustment is out allowing the dog bone to pop out.. Both of these settings can move the axle cup just far enough out to do this..
  16. those times are most people's nemesis to be fair, we all suffer with couch inertia occasionally, I try now to keep it to a minimum making a point of getting up early and going for a trot on the bike before everyone gets up, then if you wanna have a slouch during the day you can but also keeping busy is key to stopping the endless cycle of walking to the fridge and checking/consuming the contents.. You will find also that as your calorie intake drops steadily so will the hunger pangs.. Just don't be to hard on yourself a little treat now and then makes the whole process easier imho. Weds night I went to Bella Italian and made a right pig of myself but in a funny way it just spurred me to bike a bit harder the next day and be a bit more active.. A positive mindset is the the lethal weapon in the fight to get fitter and the more exercise you take the better your frame of mind will be, I thought it was all bs to be honest but I'm a believer now..
  17. You wouldn't like me when I'm hungry Seriously tho good works. Fellas on trying to get yourselves fitter and happier, been to centerparcs this week and have clocked up about 80 miles of biking, some swimming and a game of badminton, Monday is my first weigh in since my last post, I feel like I've made progress so maybe I'll be holding a fun size choc bar aloft having beaten my workmates..
  18. Wow only just seen this as I have been busy sorting myself out too, last year I quit smoking and drinking, and to be fair I concur that dieting alone won't keep the weight off as I quit bread and butter and whilst it worked to a point, my weight kept fluctuating quite a lot. This year I have made a pledge to myself to get back to a decent level of fitness and weight and am just starting to see some proper results, the biggest help I've found for me is my jawbone fit band, it's a wrist worn activity tracker and along with the jawbone up app it really helps to keep me focused and motivated to exercise and eat as healthily as possible.. When I got back to work after new years I weighed myself on our industrial scales and as a 5ft 11" 42 year old I weighed in at 104kg and felt more like 142, three months later I'm 94kg and feeling close to fit thanks to alternating between days of cycling and sessions on our elliptical trainer. Diet wise I'm hitting between 1600 and 1900 calories a day depending on what's for dinner but breakfast is always weetabix or porridge, lunch is mama noodles and 2 pieces of fruit and dinner is mostly something normal with the spuds substituted with couscous or boiled rice, I tried axing carbs too and it made me feel like crap so I keep them to a minimum and stay away from spuds and bread.. I feel happier than I have done in ages and that can only be a good thing, fresh air, good diet and exercise can work wonders. I've set myself a target of another 10kg this year, whether or not I make it is a maybe but my workmates and me are doing a biggest loser style thing at work with weekly weigh in and a prize of a fun size chic bar for the winner
  19. you may be doing up the wheel nuts too tightly, that can put pressure on the pins and snap them, alternatively you could drill your axles for 2mm pins and never look back..
  20. I've bashed with them loads of times and haven't had any problems yet..
