  1. I personally prefer MAC Address filtering, for those not in the know the router needs to know the MAC address (Unique code) of any system that can use the wireless network (I.e Computer, PSP, etc), so if a random computer tried to leech from my internet connection then they could not as my computer would not recognise its MAC Address and therefore disallow access. I have always prefered this system to keep my internet safe, as I configured my PSP so it can access and use the wireless network, but WEP and WPA methods of security allows complicated things with the PSP and always rejected a connection because of it. However it is best to have another form of security on top of MAC address filtering. Double Dutch styley!!
  2. I believe you can put them into your iTunes library but nowhere else. (I think thats it). But from there, you could burn the songs onto disc and then put them back onto your computer in a more desired format (*.Mp3). So I have heard.
  3. Dan just sent a few more that he had, I quite liked this one of me.

    Axle

    I have a friend who too bent his T-Pro axle. As Adam already said, theres not much choice in axles, its just 10mm and different lengths, nothing stronger. I have had experiences in the past with my jump bike, when I snapped my axle I bought one from Halfords for it to bend in the space of a couple of days. I asked about, thinking there may be a stronger alternative, but nothing super strong, at the end of the day its one of those things that needs renewing now and again. I went to where I know work and bought what I assume is a better quality one and it did the trick. With an axle it needs to be rigid so when it does go, it snaps, and doesn't bend on the way to snapping. Thats all I can say mate.
  5. Ooh Yea, more people riding Braintree, see you tomorow guys. (I suppose you probably saw Steve-O's video). =D Anymore people?
  6. Awesome pics Dan, I think the pics of Jack are the best as his rims look as good as they are in real life. And of course I like mine. =D
  7. Is that Chris' old frame, or did he order it for you. Tis nice, never got to ride Chris' properly because he has his levers on the oposite sides.
  8. I was wondering do you have to be in College to earn Ema? Because it says you can apply for it at 16, which I am in October and I still have about 9 months at High school. Or is it just College? Well my school has changed their title since getting a specialist subject status in Humanities, so now it is no longer called a high school, but a college.
  9. Tis generally easier to bunnyhop on a short bike, just to get the technique, then that can be moved onto a longer bike. As already said, short/high stem and riser bars in a slight sweep back towards you. I think about bunnyhopping in two motions, first of all is picking up the front wheel in almost a manual, the second is to end the manual and launch the bike into the air.
  10. Tutlhey! Or real name - Yet mol tuh
  11. Whats wrong with the current front wheel? Imo, front wheels are best to have the sidewall colour retained on them. If you get a colour co-ordination, stick with it and don't go over the top.
  12. Ah well screw the rest. Me and Reece will probably be down again in the future and I'll actually attempt the loading bay, promise. =D

  14. They are fairly good bikes, are really good quality and finish. With the 1.3 the forks only have a Disc mount, no canti studs for Vee brakes, and no 4 bolt mounts for magura's, so this can be a pain if the disc isn't good. Personally, if you could stretch to it, I would get the 1.2, for £200 extra your getting a nicer colour, Twin Hydraulic Hs33 brakes, and better spec in other areas (I think wheel or cranks). But as a starter a 1.3 would do fine.
  15. I think Colchester isn't the greatest place to ride trials in a large group (as most of the spots aren't very big and need to go from place to place). Like earlier when we sat in Castle park pond for ages without doing anything or moving anywhere. I still like riding there as there is a few spots that are worth the trip, as well as some we didn't visit today, and I just like Colchester as a place to visit. I had fun today.
  16. The roundabout is almost in the town, if you get directions to drive to Colchester town train station, you can't miss the thing, its massive and its got all plants, wall, benches, etc in it. Subway's going to and from the thing. And speaking of Subway, I have officially decided my lunch. =D
  17. As for the Exam or Coursework debate, I really can't concentrate or can be bothered on Coursework it feels too time consuming. However on the other hand, I love exams, its brilliant just going in, doing a paper and sitting in silence. And generally I do better in the exam. =D
  18. LMao! sigged. I like my bars, CZAR risers are nowhere near as common as ZOO!'s
  19. Too right Mr Clark, the snappier the happier. Are we going to see the photos this time?, last Colchester ride we all went to you took some but never saw them after that. = Colchester ride video!
  20. They're not bad bikes, especially for starter, the place I work at sell them. Theres also a lower spec version called the "Tekiya", which retails for around £250. At that price its one of the cheapest trials bikes around, especially for a 26" bike.
  21. I ditto that, sweet riding there Nick. Some nice lines there, was most of this in Bournemouth?
  22. Video is up. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=104279
