  1. Are you from Chinese? Nice bike, hope it works out for you!
  2. Topsham ten! Anyways, I'm out in Plymouth when its sunny.
  3. Or... Just don't use a top cap. When you fit the forks use any old steel one, tighten the clamp and remove the top cap. Get a light chain, and about 40 of them so you can change them every week.
  4. Yeah fitting the calipers works as has been detailed above, the lever can be tricky as you sometimes need to bend it/shorten it 'cos of BMX bars. We managed to nigrig one on, never had any problems with it (till it was stolen).
  5. Oh, and the couloured stripes should slant the other way on the frame in my opinion...
  6. Well bikes aside, Fairlight Cycles have gone from being a shop no one knows to a shop everyone knows. I bet 'Si' is a happy chappy.
  7. Send the bike parts and a can of Strongbow over here, and i'll get the damn bike built for you! Jeepers.

    Paypal Help

    Hi, i recently sold an item on eBay for the first time and need to retrieve the funds. i signed up with my hotmail address, and i have the correct password but it still won't sign in. I've requested a password change 3 times and it hasn't sent an email to my hotmail addy so i can't log in. I have another email and have set up an account with that, is there a way i can transfer the money from my hotmail account to the other one (university account)? I tried the emailing them thing but its useless, i can't fit what i wanna say in one sentence! i have no idea why my hotmail account won't work, all spelt correctly etc Any ideas?
  9. Oddly enough, thats what Evolution Imports told me happened to Kings, and that they didn't actually skip. Needless to say i now have a Hope and have had zero problems with it... Anyways, if that is indeed the problem, a HD axle and Fun Bolts should solve it. Make sure you lightly grease the helical splines.
  10. Any issues with grip in wet conditions? That sandy paint for exteriors (Sandex or summat?) may work for a bit of grip if needed! Or grip tape. Or normal paint with sand in it. Looks good!
  11. What frame do you have? Street or natural?
  12. Just because i type 'flip badge paper calculator' and it comes up with no spelling mistake in Word, doesn't mean it makes sense. Dick Drake does not make sense.
  13. More trials vids with similar songs please! Very nice...
  14. Just like anything, you get to know riders abilities. Once you get to a certain level, you can place a pallet gap/up and you know you're either gonna just about make it or not. Just takes a bit of time... I know if i can make a gap or not without trying it cos i'm one of the best in the counrty at trials ridingzzzzzzz
  15. Agreed... Hard to tell who it all came from. But i do believe that the general 'dumb blonde' image that these girls put out is over exaggerated. Some of the things they do isn't *that* easy, and takes time and effort. But yes you're correct, it could be the managers suggesting these things so they get a bigger cut of her profit.
  16. Yeah i've had my front lever lower than my rear for years, saw one of the Coustellier bruvas doing it in... 2003 and have done it ever since.
  17. Yeah, if Paris Hilton was as stupid as she makes herself out to be, she wouldn't be where she is today. Same with Katie price (Jordan) and Jessica Simpson while i'm on the subject. She's got her own clothing/purfume/lingerie etc lines that all earn her money. There are many people out there (royalty etc) who get given alot on a plate but arn't business minded enough to make anything more of it. Thats why you hear nothing of them. Anyways, sorry for the offtopic-ness!
  18. Ok, where to start. Why are they a group of cocks? Because they're richer than you? It was gonna happen at some point, you're right. Car accidents are one of the biggest killers in the UK, so with this being the 9th i believe, thats alot of cars to have gone through the rally without killing anyone. Fair enough if you think its a waste of money, but then people are entitled to spend their money on whatever they so wish.
  19. You'd be losing money VERY quickly if you bought shares i feel!
  20. Did the song reming anyone else of "Free Love On the Free Love Freeway" by Ricky Gervais? Anyways, impressive riding as always!
  21. Well, theres still Carbon Black, The Bull Run, Players Run, Ultimate Challenge (if Kimble's mystery investor pulls through!) to keep us entertained. Its a shame such a tragedy happened, but its the way of the world. I hope to go on a rally of similar sorts someday. EDIT: The international rally Gumball 3000 claimed the second victim today - Margarita Chepunjoska, the wife of Vladimir, who died two days ago, has passed away today in the Skopje Clinic Center. Margarita was severely injured in the accident that took place on Wednesday, when a participant of the rally crashed his Porsche into the car driven by her husband. British citizen Nicholas Morley was speeding in his Porsche at the Struga-Qafasan road, when it collided head-on with Chepunjoski’s Golf. Yesterday, an investigative judge of Struga Court ordered 30 days of temporary detention to Nicholas Morley. The Police filed a formal accusation against him for “heavy violation of traffic safety†and “failure to provide help to an injured personâ€. Macedonian police told today that no charges will be raised against his co-driver, the British citizen Matthew McConville.

  22. Not up to modern standards of stickiness and definately not puncture resistance though!
