I'm pretty tempted, I fixed my bike last night funnily enough and havnt ridden for about a year

Pads: Toxsin Pink Pads Rim used: Ronnie Grind: Yes, but not fresh Brake used: 2002 Magura, two steel boosters, water bleed What is your opinion of a working brake: Good bite and good lock up with all your weight jumping on the pedal. How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Comparable to Plaz CRM and Bloxx Reds Review: Yeah, not bad. I got them free with my frame years ago, so thought I'd give them a go. Havn't tried them in the wet yet.

Seems like there's quite a lot of interest in this. I might make one, it wouldn't be that hard. I'd probably use a fixed tensioner though, just like a cam belt on a car. I'm actually going to the breakers yard later today, I'm going to pick up a selection of ribbed tooth pulleys and get modifying!

Really? News to me, I thought it was a min of five working gears. I've been out of the scene for a while!

Well as far as I can see... Advantages for trials; Smoother More responsive than a chain Just as strong Singlespeed to suit most riders Lighter Looks different and its pretty cool Disadvantages for trials; Singlespeed, no good for international stock comps If you land on it, might dammage the belt more easy than a chain You've got to cut your frame to get the belt on

Sweet, yeah I'll get that out no probs Good to see how the tool is actually used in that vid. Would be well easy to make something that did the same job.

Well, as above really. I havn't had my King apart for a while and can't really remember what it looked like in there. Could I get a small punch in there and 12, 6, 9, 3 the ring drive out?

Stab them. A bit.

It's pretty powerful and nice to use. The built in FEA is not bad either, if it had a fracture mechanics aswell that would be amazing. I've used AutoCAD a lot, which is probably my favourite and also spent a year using Solidegde, which is a cheaper version of Solidworks but minus a few features.

Sunny, dry, blue sky, cold, winter, yes.

Don't go to Halfords, they are £15 from there.

I had a creak with load on the bars for ages , turned out to be the stem, even though the bolts were FT. I lubricated everything, loctited the bolts but didn't do them too tight. Worth a go I guess.

I went to a club called The Bridge, it was actually like walking into Jack Wills, everyone fannying with their hair and bumping into you. Bad times. Anyway, theres loads of riders round that area!

How Do You Buy Something Off Of Trials Forum ?
Mr Motivator replied to *Koxx hydroxx 2 Jack *'s topic in Trials Chat
Most commonly; See something you like Contact the seller Do the deal Paypal the Moolah Seller hopefully posts the goods These days, it's almost impossible for something to get lost in the post, so if you don't get it, it's generally someone on here being a fag, but if you buy something from someone who seems to be sound, everyone kind of knows everyone here, almost. -
Removing one is even easier than fitting one. Take the forks out, shove a bar or good quality screw driver with a large flat head down the head tube onto the lip of the cup and then tap the rim in the order 12, 6, 9, 3 and it'll come out square.

They always have been pretty rare. Some of the first Echo rims were DX32s that had been drilled

MSN, Microsoft Network. I don't think there is any chance of them ever shutting shop.

How about this one? http://www.made-in-england.org/images/birth_to_self.jpg Not sure how it relates, but it's pretty funny.

I need an extra PC for work, I've only got a laptop at the mo which is pretty fast etc but it's full up with stuff and I'd like to wipe all the shiz off and keep the lappy as a secondary pc, just what a laptop should be. So I'm going to build one. I've found a pretty helpfull site which I'm going to follow along, but I'm going to need some guidance and I know that some of you fellas love a bit of geeking. First off I could do with some recomendations, I'll probabaly buy everything from NovaTech as I live near it. I don't play games, ever, they are boring to me. I use a lot of CAD software, but other than that, the only things that I will be using it for will be web browsing, Word, Excel, Powerpoint. I have an XP pro disk and office 2007 so I'm sorted for that. So, bits I need; PC Case - One of NovaTech's cheapest - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-BELUS £27.61 Hard Drive - Cheapest 250gb, more than enough - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?HIT-HD250S - £29.36 CD/DVD - Is this what I need? Will it do CDs aswell? - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?SAM-H653B - £13.51 Proceessor - AMD thingy, 2.2ghz, probably good enough - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?AMD-XM242O - £28.20 Processor Cooling Fan - Will this fit the above processor? - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?AC-ALPINE6 - £6.87 Motherboard - Am I right in thinking this will do the job? - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?MSI-K9N6PG - £30.55 Memory Modules - 2GB, will this work with my bits? - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?CSR-VS672 - £19.99 Power Supply - The comes with the case Video Card - He'll do? - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-FX2128 - £18.80 Keyboard & Mouse - Got a mouse already, keyboard - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-USBKB2 - £3.47 Screen - Got one already Software - Got most of that Cables - I DUNNO! CPU Cooling compound - http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/specpage.html?NOV-GREASE - £1.45 Cost so far - £179.81 Is that a pretty good price for what I'm getting? Would it be cheaper to just buy some sort of package? Any help aprechiated.

I didn't like it actually. A burger just doesn't work with that type of bread, it was too chewy, and too small. It's all about the BK Tripple Whopper. I usually can't finish more than 3/4 of one of those!
