    Car

    Thats fantastic, however not everything revolves around you. In my years of experience, along with the type of car you want insured, these two are the main factors.

    Car

    Or live in a nice area/not crash.
  3. So they take it from your PAYE as part of income tax without you knowing pretty much?
  4. Yeah cranks are pretty heavy, could go for some Try-Alls.
  5. I'm in a job earning over £15k a year and therefore should be paying back my loan. However, nothing has been said about it since I left uni. Is anyone else paying theirs back? Do you have to say 'I'm earning over the threshold, can i pay it back please?' I don't really want them to ask for a lump sum in a few years time if possible. Also, is the £15k a year thing before or after tax?
  6. I burn the oil off my pads/rotor using meths, has worked for us lot well over the past couple of years.
  7. Just buy a Rain King/Der Kaiser and never get punctures and be done with it.
  8. Don't you f**k with Joe, I'll have your tiny, shrivelled testicles for breakfast.
  9. Yeah these days a 2 bolt booster is all you need really, and it makes brake set up eleventy times easier than 4 bolt.
  10. Yeah the Trialtech boosters are really good, available from Tartybikes.
  11. Mines been waterbled for ages and never leaked. Though it does feel like shit at the moment.

    Daredevils

    Yeah was pretty sweet!
  13. Both are fookered, not sure how I'm gonna carry on with my evening in this crisis.
  14. Ideal, looks like fun! I'm in the process of buying an Intense 5.5 w/ cane creek double barrel ti spring'd shock.
  15. Most people on here are from England, therefore generally only the worlds riders went, its a bit of a long way to go and watch.
  16. Turns out theres a good chance I'll be going to this.

    Sailing

    I used to own a Laser Pico, my dads had lots of different boats from 60' yachts to mirror dinghys and currently has a couple of yachts and a Wayfarer on the river Dart.
  18. Might be able to get away with drilling them out, or use loads of washers with a larger hole in the middle?
  19. Steel bolts wont be a problem if they're the same size and thread pitch as the ti ones. Try using the ti ones and see if it still happens?
  20. No. If you have a threaded hole with a plate on the bottom (so the bolt can't go all the way through) then using a long bolt will mean the head of the bolt is in a higher position than a shorter bolt when the bolt is wound in fully so it can't go any further (the bottom of the bolt is touching the bottom of the threaded hole). With me so far? If you use long bolt, the heads will be higher. This moght mean the clamps arn't getting enough force on them, because the bottom of the bolt hits the bottom of the threaded hole before the clamps are tight enough. Make sense?
  21. Me and matey want to attend, but have the same question as Mr Will Arnold up in here. Dave, I will ring tommorow if that is ok.
