    Predicament!

    No - I did - and I'm being a twat about claiming. I don't agree with it, and dick'ead here decided to let me know in a deffinate manner that it'd be a good idea. It's not the whole finger, but it's about half of my front braking finger. Edit: Beated.
  2. I don't read either of them - but why is this?: Edit: By that, I mean why is there 2?
  3. Why? I was really enjoying that. It was a shit topic that already got answered within the first two posts anyway. And - apologies to OP if I'm wrong - but the chances are stacked pretty highly on this being a troll.
  4. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaspect ratio... PLEASE... It's not hard. Tools > Options. Set it to 16:9. Then it'll look right. (I assume you're using WMM) Nice effort
  5. Just a wee adverticement bump... I put these on with a new bleed and a fresh (very badly executed) grind. Went out for a ride, dragged my brake a bit on the way there. Got half way there - and it's only a 5 minute ride away - and they started honking. Got to the spot, and they were putting out some serious volume. Out-loudnessing (<--Hahaha) a grind + tar + koxx's.... I didn't mention that it was raining. Well... It was After an hour, I could pull the brake, and put a full bodied jump on the forwards pedal. You'd be lucky if it got a squeak. May aswell have been welded in place. Seriously... Get them. Best. Pads. Ever.
  6. ...Take a look out the window? Ohhhhhh, right... you mean for the ride? How about you check THIS bloody website? Don't know how to search/use iGoogle? No worries... There's a new fangled company called BBC. Try checking their website, and have a look around.

    Oh really? I couldn't tell I challenge you to hit 60" by NYE '09.

    'Bout time for a new'un'n'all, I reckon. ......................(^^^^^^^ Oh hells yeah.)
  9. That was rather bloody good. Is everyone in France stupid rich? Never seem to see one without a hydroxx, boxx, coust or atomz.
  10. Look cool as f**k though I really like that. Would deffinately have one myself - even with the spec. Can't afford a bike though
  11. A bit more variation/choice in the 24" realms would be nice - but I reckon if there was TOO many more than we currently have, shit'd get a tad confusing.
  12. So they DO get rub?! Cripes - I wasn't aware of that. Never mind then
  13. Who came with me the other night was Edd Potts ~ Dave85 on here. I was just around at Kris's house (he's a good mate). I'm going to try the K-Jet system first as I've read it's more reliable when using higher lifting cams than carb's though I think this is going to be very much trial and error
  14. Unless I'm missing something, that's not what I meant. The pads are about 3.5/4mm from the rim - loads of TPA to make it work. I'll check my dropouts for cracks when I get home.
  15. My grandad helped "dig" that
  16. So I hadn't even TOUCHed the wheelbuilds since I bought it complete in January. Jesus... Doesn't seem like a year :| ...Anyway - a couple weeks back, every time I put some power down, I got this horrid grinding noise. Moved the pistons out and just bunged the TPA all the way in for the rest of the ride. Leave it over Christmas, as I forgot it was dying - and then came to ride it the other day. I tightened everything evenly, (why did no-one inform me it's so soothing to sort a wheel out? I really enjoyed the process this time around ) and even got that elusive buckle out that was there, then not, and then there, then not... etc. [/2nd_ramble] It feels infinately better. I hadn't realised just how bad a shape it was in. Feels more springy, flicky, and controlled All from a tighter wheelbuild, and a few extra PSI. Now - the problem is, I'm still getting the grinding noise every now and then. Not NEARLY as often, but when I really go for it... The spokes are tight enough that I wouldn't want to tighten any more, for fear of stripping the threads. Slave prongs are both about 2mm away from the rim, which is now absolutely buckleless (to me - within 1mm... hell - I'll bend over and blow my trumpet - HALF A MILLIMETER). Now it's not really a problem, as I can go full out for a sidehop, and it's fine - just occasionally on starting a rolling gap's runup. (Rollup/rideup?) Before you cunning little buggers point it out - I know it's time for some new pads... But I'm skint These ones that are so dead are KoolStop Reds that I found in the bottom of my spares box, and I only moved onto them 'cause my Magura Blacks suffered the same fate. Heh :$ Any help offered would be very well recieved Cheers.
  17. Ok - you're free to go I know - I've ridden with him since he's been on it a few times - I'd just assumed he'd've kept the Adamant too. (By the way - try saying the word "solely" in the middle of a long sentance. It's a right b*****d of a word...)
  18. :$ I like it. Short+higher stem is in high levels of want, though.
  19. This...... Is this from the Ford avert? Even if not, it looks fun. I really wish I would start playing agin
  20. Straight - though that's tradition, I reckon. If it weren't for tradition, I think instinct would've worn off by now, and we'd all be bisexual.
  21. Well he needs to take on a helper then. If it was any business other than one with it's primary custom from teenagers who won't really kick up a fuss, he'd get eaten alive. Having said that, I understand that it's not a massive market, and so he can't afford to pay someone. This though, is besides the point. If you can't do it, shut down for a little while. Open back up when you can run it properly.
  22. You can afford one of those each year? Lucky you Looks nice. Always found that join looks a bit weird - not sure if I like it or not.
  23. In which case: GO C A SHRYNK LOL
