  1. VERY cool. Great find - really enjoyed that.
  2. Is there such a thing as "intermittent insomnia"? I think it's a pretty awesome sounding name for what I'm experiencing I overslept, resulting in me getting into hella-shit at work yesterday, but other than that, I've had 8 hours of sleep over the past 5 nights. Not through lack of being tired - just can't sleep.
  3. Just for extra reassurance, I'll say the same as everyone else. It makes no difference - but if more people say it, it'll encourage you to keep trying. It IS just practice. Gotta find that balance point, and just get the knack of those little hops to recover balance. That's a good point actually. If you lift the front wheel up, and get to a point on the back wheel but start to tip over, hop the back wheel forwards/backwards/sideways according to which way you're falling. This'll correct your balance a bit, and - if you get it right - stop the front wheel from going down. Arms cocked, but not bent too much. Straight arms makes it SO much harder than it need be
  4. Haha. This thread made my morning
  5. Only way I can see stationary/moving making a difference, is if it's spinning fast on the way up, then lock the brake off when you're running out of momentum. Centrifugal force'll send it pivoting 'round the front a little bit extra. Same as what some people do for taps, but in reverse

    Stock = 26" wheel Mod = 20/19" wheel. I'm a little surprised this naming hasn't spread into Europe
  7. I'm curious. I'd never have it done myself - the idea REALLY doesn't appeal to me - but these punches in the cartellige (sp?)... Has anyone who's got them noticed any difference in hearing? The pinna is crazy important for collecting sound, directing more of it into the cannal via reflections, as I understand it. If you're taking a part of it out, and putting something in the way of more of it, it's bound to make some sort of difference. Question is, can you NOTICE the difference?
  8. Waiting on the Effect. Do want. Also want some geo info
  9. Doesn't matter. If the bike doesn't adapt to the situation, you will.
  10. ANOTHER bike? Hahaha. Good effort. Get a video out on it a.s.a.p please. Love your videos P.S - Glad to see you're back on a mod
  11. Gee.... Would sure like some geo information. I already have a perfectly rideable Zoot, but I want something streetier. Why can they release pictures, but not information at the same time
  12. ...But before all them - trackstanding. So much easier to ride once you don't have to think about getting ready for a move so much.
  13. I'm just running a cassette cog It's digging in - but it's taken 3 years of Boumsong stamping down on it the same way... Pretty sure I'll be Ok
  14. To be honest - this is the first problem I've heard with driveshells - so either everyone's got steel ones, or the ally one is good enough Sorry I can't be more help. Mine's not steel.

    Plus.... No. Looks like Tunni's stopped making videos - and we need SOMEONE to put out massive TGS stuff
  16. Well... I'm jumping on this band wagon. Just bumping in case there's any news? ~£230 for the frameset is amazing. Even if they're snap-happy, get two for a little more than the price of one normal frame! Heh. (And then have spare parts from whatever else the set includes )
  17. If you're doing it on price, just see what works out cheaper with which cranks. I reckon you'll get a freehub, sprocket and a spider arm crank with bash (I guess that means you'll be running 22:18ish ) cheaper than a fixed hub, cog, freewheel bash and screw on cranks
  18. What's the deal with these speakers? Seen quite a lot of people with them, but I think they look bloody horrible. Still - looks don't really matter... Decent sound? Seems to me they're either gonna be typical Logitech/Creative £50/100 5.1 style cones, or really f**king amazing
  19. Good effort Interested to see how much lower the prices go?
