It does work, at least freewheel on cranks and cassette hub. Matt Bird used to run a Tensile freewheel on cranks and a King bmx hub rear, it produced no problems whatsoever.

That looks awesome, top job to Michael for his hard work at Barrow, must take a good while moving everything about so often! Will have to get myself down that way again soon!

9.3kg for my limey 320. Would like to get that sub 9kg, and then I can leave it there. Nothing on my bike is so light that it voids any possible strength, I don't buy trials parts often so choosing ultra lightweight parts would be a dick move to replace.

Price of a sleeve depends entirely how much work it requires and at what rate. A complex sleeve with lots of lines and work could take up to 80 hours, something basic with less linework could be more like 10-15 hours. Guy I work with who has quite a bit of an oriental body suit done (arms, legs and some of the back), said that the inner bicep was the most painful area of his tattooing, apparently he had to be pinned down to withstand the pain... I've got another session next week, also gotta pop in tomorrow to change my lip bar so I think I'll whack a deposit down for another 3 hours.

Bb7 And Bb5 Whats The Difference?
Captain Scarlet replied to Laurence--Trials's topic in Trials Chat
Am I correct in saying that the number also refers to the number of ball bearings in the caliper mechanism (hence BB). -
Sony Vegas unfortunately isn't free editing software. As Ben said, Adobe do a very generous student discount so that will be your best options for legitimate paid software. Other than that I am not too sure of any free alternatives, I know there is one which allows for a wide variety of file types and editing styles, but the name always slips my mind. Edit: What about Pinnaccle Studio from Avid?

Charlie Jennings, Charlie~est, FrancisJ, etc, etc. Used to get really bitchy with jxm about knowing more about mac's than him, and also created "The iPod problem thread" because Jon already has the "The mac problem thread" or something. Pretty much everyone posted; "Yea my iPod is snapped in 2, cure that problem!" Also Simpsons pumpkin suit!

Matt Bird's tyres in all their glory, see 3:35 Vimeo Video -> Original Video As far as I'm aware, a hacksaw or similar blade is the best tool for the job.

Bars and stem make the biggest difference in this. Fact. Either frame size can ride like crap with the wrong bars. The growing trend is either; short bike with high bars, or long bike with low bars. Personally I love the shorter bike for the flickier aspect of it, which ultimately is why you would want to ride mod. If you've got a larger barge to move about then you might as well be riding 26".
-
Just cargo shorts with the pockets that are near the knee, carry my phone, wallet and keys. However now I don't like riding with anything in my pockets (stuff has fallen out on the odd occurance and they flap around and hit my legs) so I just leave it all in a bag.
-
Yea, pretty much because WMM only touches *.wmv and *.wma.
-
No, that is owned by Yao Zhi. He used to ride for Deng on the ZOO! brand but then went on to create the Zhi brand. The old Python and Zhi's look almost identical.

Capital letters! When registering work I made my manager go back and amend my name on the tills because my first name did not have a capital T for "Tom", (you know the little bit that says; "You were served by <insert name here>"). Just pisses me off and looks so unprofessional. On a night out, mega mega always do the pocket checks! Wallet and keys in my left front pocket, phone in my right pocket. Same goes for my motorbike jacket, I end up checking about 3 times if the front pockets are zipped up.

Internet Browser Keeps Logging Me Out Of Websites
Captain Scarlet replied to Captain Scarlet's topic in Chit Chat
Gave up, pretty much removed/resetted every setting to Chrome and still no luck. Gone back to Firefox and just got a bit of a neater layout than the standard one. -
Its beyond a pain now, thought it was a one off but it keeps on doing it. Pretty much all my favourite websites never stay logged in like they used to, it's not even a matter of just logging in the first time you open the website (as I could live with that) but on Facebook it logs me out the second I click a link on the main page. I've tried looking round my settings on Google Chrome and nothing strikes me as obvious to the problem, just wondering if anyone else had this and cured it.

What van and company was this?

Reliability possibly, but unless its a 1.0L then the insurance is ridiculous! You gotta look for low insurance group cars, things like; Fiat Panda's, Corsa, Cinquecento/Seicento, all with small engine sizes. But even then insurance is about £1500 for a Fiat Panda in my own name! So I gave up, as much as I would like a car to take my trials bike places I really cannot justify spending £1500 purely for insurance for the most gutless car on the road. So I went for motorbikes, I have a Honda CBR600, capable of 0-60 in 3.9 seconds and 155mph overall, yet my insurance is only £490 a year with breakdown cover, (That will be £350 at re-quote in August).

QFT. The amount of times I've had girls come up to me and ask; "Can I finger your ear?", I think it would be rude not to ask if I could slip my length inside of her.
-
That was an awesome video, smooth and fairly beastly at the same time! Your techniques look amazing. The music got a little annoying after a while though. Are you studying at Hertfordshire university?

I went in this. http://image61.webshots.com/161/7/97/99/2157797990029559631erPFdR_ph.jpg Me and a friend knew the bloke, and he lived very local, did it for a couple of bottles of wine. Cheapest decent prom transport ever? I know people from some years who came in a helicopter but it had to land on a field a short trip from the actual place, and they then ended up getting a limo from where it landed to the prom itself aha! When my dad worked for DHL I did toy with one idea, and that was for him to drive there in a DHL van wearing his uniform, take out a DHL parcel and then I was going to jump out of it. Just think stupid!

There's one called red laser, pretty much you can scan the barcode on anything and it finds it on the internet for you, with the cheapest price.

Removing either or both of your brakes is a brilliant way to build up techniques that are barely used when you have both brakes. When I went with a rear brake, I learnt how to do sidehops from 2 wheels, up to front from 2 wheels, 2 wheel to 2 wheel gaps, and pedal ups to manual/2 wheels. I also found basic track standing a lot harder, I am a fairly controlled and smooth rider with brakes, but it suddenly dawned on me how much I used the brakes when I didn't have any.

Have had my 96 click for just under a month (I barely have had the time to ride it too), and it gained a ridiculously tight spot in the freewheel. As I was at a demo I had to flush it out with some WD-40 which made it a lot better, but its still graunchy, will take it apart later and let you all know the verdict. I'm not very impressed so far.

Who's Going Bikeradar Live This Year. ?
Captain Scarlet replied to Mission Prodigy Trials.'s topic in Trials Chat
I'm well gutted, my boss gave me free tickets but it falls on the same weekend as NASS festival. -
May not be entirely what your after but it's an option. http://www.myspace.com/exoterica My brothers old band, metal/thrash metal, there's a few songs on the MySpace which I can get in full quality if your interested. There's a few lighter ones on there too.
