  1. Go for a 38mm, anything more is just excessively wide imo. We all used to ride on d521, which were sub 30mm(27-28ish) if i remember correctly, back then we never moaned they where too narrow. I'm running a dx32 right now, dont really have an issue with its width. Think going wider than about 40mm is stupid. Stick with 38mm, and if for some reason you feel the need to get a 43mm rim, you can always shave a couple of mm off pads to get the extra width if they wont fit(or better still buy second hand pads) you go for 43mm, and decide youd like a narrower rim to save weight and make streety moves a bit easier, your a bit knackered

    You dont need to chip it, you can do though, i did mine years ago, was like 8 wires to solder. you can get the no solder ones, but their crap(or at least were crap). but you can soft mod it, which isnt the hardest task in the world (type xbox softmod or the like into google) just requires you to spend a little bit on a game,and a couple of other bits.
  3. I think its that some of us have seriously high standards (like glen) and are therefore picky and dump a girl that isnt perfect. Others of us like me are just hell to live with, so tend to not last long (i think part of the reason i get the boot after a couple of weeks, is cos i dont really care, nights out, days on the motorbike, mates, working overtime, organising my socks, all take priority over girls at times) The main reson i think is, would i be correct in saying that Tara was your first proper girlfriend? so youve never really known any better(generally you may not find any). But what you will find is, the next girlfriend you have, annoys you, or doesnt do something that Tara did, or wont do this for you, or expects you to do that, and you think "Man, my ex was so much better", and once you hit that point, things are on a rocky road. till youve been through about 8 girlfriends, and youve picked the best bit of each one, thinking, god, if she was willing to drive everywhere like sarah, if she didnt nag like jess, and gave blowies like Dave, shed be perfect. At that point you walk around single for a while, trying to find the perfect girl, youll then get bored after a few months, and stick it in anything that moves. at which point you realise having a girlfriend is better than not getting any. and you get married.

    Its not that bad no more i dont think, granted i dont have a network drive, but think it works just with a network drive these days, no need to have the PC on(i use a none MCE version of XP by the way), and since the last update, it doesnt appear to have any issues playing anything.
  6. thats fair enough, but running before you can walk possibly comes to mind. when i was 12/13 i was throwing myself off stupid stuff, dropped 10 foot to concrete at 14.....but i was rough as hell, and came off a couple of times(luckily only on 3- 4 foot stuff to grass). The roughness was due to lack of technique, and the couple of times i came off, was due to lack of skill, i.e not being at the correct distance from the edge with pedal stroke etc. If you spend your time practising back hops etc on the ground/on kurbs, youll get back wheel control, allowing you to be much safer up there. Youll also not have to worry about the correct length run up, as youll be able to adjust the run up yourself(as well as alter your front wheel height while holding it on the back wheel). Not only this, but youll be able to make 4 foot drops as smooth as dropping 6 inches at the moment. by learning to get on the back wheel at the edge, lower the front right down, and let the bike roll off the edge(giving it a little kick to get the back end straight down) Everything will become smoother, more controlled, safer, lighter on your parts. and just generally look a lot better.

    On mine, it was chipped, and replaced the xbox dash. However im fairly sure now you basically stick the program on the xbox HDD via your pc. (xbox HDD out, copy the files over to it, back in) but im not 100% on that. Theres another way which you can do using certain save game files and an action replay file transfer kit. To open it up to allow you to install XBMC on it.

    On my chipped Xbox, i never needed the remote, not sure about a standard one. And yeah, you just connect it to the network, and to your TV
  9. Was eyeing up the new trials park theyve installed in wrexham the other day whilst out shopping. looks fairly good to be fair. Any issues with security there?thought itd be fairly tight around the whole area, when i was shopping there was a few rent a cops on patrol. Rather impressed with the riding too.
  10. Technically its just a bolt. To be Pedantic, no bolt has thread all the way up, they all have a shank. A bolt with no shank(i.e threaded to the head) is called a set screw. Just measure the shank,find a m10 bolt with the same size shank and buy it, you can always cut it down with a hacksaw (Screw a nut on it first, use the nut as a cutting guide, and to clean the very end threads up as you take it off.
  11. Well that was as crap as expected, was rammed, so i had like 3 pints all night. Went out to speak to fish on the phone(marital dispute, were still together) and it took me 15 minutes to get back in. Was full of drunken idiots, And its way too cold to walk home in a tee and a jacket. Possibly the most miserable person you could meet right now.
  12. Yea i know, i really wanna go out, just somewhere not to busy, with no d*ckheads(well apart from me), think im probably gunna be a sucker, and end up in the pub despite not wanting to go with a passion.
  13. See i made the decision a couple of weeks ago that i wasnt going clubbing, i did 16/17/18 out, and 19 at the GF's at the time, and 20 in, and ill be honest NYE out is a total waste of an early night.so was thinking pub and then back to mine like 1/2. job done...but im now rethinking that to stay in and chill out. my reasoning for this 1) clubbing is expensive,for whats a pretty poor night. sure its busy, but its a bit too busy,queing for an hour for the bogs no thanks, 10 deeps at the bar no thanks, £4.80 a pint no thanks. 2) Getting home wont happen, If I actually managed to get a taxi the 12 miles back home, the driver would want £50+ for it. 3) If i dont get a taxi, i cant just crash at a mates and roll back on the bus/train tomorrow, as theres like 0.3 trains all day. 4) I dont dare drive tomorrow as the police will be out in super force, and I kind of could do with driving tomorrow. So I thought the local pub, 20 minute walk home, but meh, itd do, then i realised, its kind of always semi full of middle aged or older jobless idiots who live in the council estates.and just drink in there all day every day,normally its empty enough to get some space and not have to listen to them chat mecca about smartprice chicken, the cost of supertennants,how janice at number 23 is a bit of a slag, and how they all know the second man on the balcony in the iranian embassy siege. Tonight, itll be full of them, theyll of been drinking all day, and there will be less regular folks with jobs and ambitions and the like there, as theyll of found somewhere more uppermarket to drink.

  15. If you know how to fit a cam belt, surely you know how to realign everything, time her up, lock the crank(either via pin on the front or flywheel pin, if it doesnt have space for a pin, just get it inline with the timing marks. Then check to see if the cam pulley(s?) are in line, again either with pins(drill bits usually do quite a good job with cam pulleys) or gettin the marks lined up. Youll normally find the cam pulley(s?) will have 3 bolts to give a small degree of movement on, to help when taking up tension on the belt, can be adjusted there if its less than a tooth out, obviously if its a tooth out, its a belt off jobbie, and get it right. Youll only ever mess one cambelt up, and think "close enough" unless your a complete idiot, becauses its bad enough doing it once, let alone twice.
  16. Right, starting from when i could backhop, before that, it was just riding round Raleigh rsp 250 - this was before trials bikes where really around, it was strong, it was small, it did the job. Azonic DS2 - loved this frame, probably the best frame i had, went the biggest i ever went on it, everything was just mega smooth, was more streety, but it was the best i rode. Snapped it a couple of inches behind the headtube, fairly clean snap. then get a DS1, which was a load stiffer, and just not as sweet somehow. then got a handsome dog rockolla, which i liked, but never really went big on it, it just never felt smooth somehow(every landing felt heavy) Then onto a monty urban, which lasted a few months, then started to crack behind the headtube. Got a BT raven 4.0, which i loved for like a few hours, then realised it just wasnt that nice(it was extremely good on the backwheel, but was a bit too hoppy as opposed to manuals) then bought an ashton justice, which i liked a lot more, but ive never really got back into it.
  17. so far - box of heroes. some smellies. A tee. a hat a pair of gloves However, no sign of my boat.
  18. theres a couple of engineering companies round my end that would undertake that kind of work, probably best looking in your yellow pages and goin round for a chat. theyll probably drill out the fork crown to 1 1/16 or the like, and get a 1 1/8 tube, turn the last inch down to 1 1/16, and weld (top and bottom) and possibly pin it in.
  19. under the knife anthem for the underdog Headstrong Wolf like me Can also be added to that list and Baja is sooo hot. but the films pretty crap itself. although Cam Gigandet is my secret crush.
  20. Whats an Urbo? and difference between geek, techie and cool geek?
  21. Asked mother for a 19 or 21 foot speedboat, preferably a bowrider, but a small cuddy cabin model would do. To be honest though,im not going to be fussy, would be happy with a 17.5 foot if need be.
  22. I dont really believe in god, and i believe in the bible, as it exists(theres a couple in the house somewhere), but to me its no more than a book of stories. I dont really have a negative view on religion, although maybe today, its out of place, it cant really be argued against, that the 10 commandments would be a reasonable set of rules to live your life by. So many years ago, i could perhaps of seen them to be formed, as almost like rudimentary laws(also note how they could be rather powerful, whereas now, ill break the law, because i dont think ill get caught and punished for it, back then, an easily swayed population who believed in god being all-seeing,maybe wouldnt risk stealing a car stereo, because they thought theyd 100% be caught- bearing in mind no ones ever got away with breaking the 10 commandments and been able to say they havent gone to hell.) Also i dont really see the pope has done himself/the religion much harm here, sure a bunch of none believers now have an issue with him, but we didnt believe anyway, what does it matter. those people that attend the catholic church, are unlikely to stop going on the grounds that the person closest to god, has said something they disagree with, unless theyd got homosexual family members, and even then if they where already sticking with the catholic church,after knowing theyre stance on homosexuality, its unlikely there going to be swayed now). The number of homosexual catholics would be very small i would say. but theres probably a high amount of people(especially in the USA, but also here, who are homophobic, and religious, and cheered his views on it)
  23. As far as i was aware Bigman was still running a king, may be wrong though. and when exactly where freewheels known for their funky degisns, it sits at the bottom of your bike covered in either crap, or wd40(depending on whether you under or over maintain your bike) and either works, or breaks your face. In all fairness ive been lookin at building up a bike again, and was debatin going FFW (as ive got the cranks and the bash, and my kings got a home ready for it, can get a fixed hub and a freewheel cheaper) but i think ill let someone else risk their teeth to tell me whether its reliable before i jump in and buy one.
  24. Who gives a toss, dont go in wearing clown shoes,and dont squirt water out of a flower at her, just casually say "You wanna go see a movie" youve got the bonus of know one taking you seriously, if she turns you down cos she thinks your a Thudd, you can make out you where just joking. if she says yea, then sorted, youve got your date. dont really think shes instantly gunna think "hes joking" Note: say "film" not "movie" your not from america.
