  1. I like that seat! It stands out lol. Besides, if I sit on it, you won't see it. And if I ride it, I'll be going too fast I can't ACTUALLY dirt jump for shit lol the sus goes to the maximum recommended for the frame, 130. Ideally it should be set at 115, but I like it high for manuals. Seeing as it's at the max for the frame, it won't stress it. Too big though and it would stress and snap there. And lol at the cables. But - cable for rear brake, cable for gears, cable for front brake, cable for lockout. I'm not not having any of those on my bike (apart from the front brake, temporarily). It's not much of a do-everything-including-sort-of-trials bike if I take any of those off. The lockout's the most odd, but it controls the hardness of the fork so I have no choice atm. It also makes hills and general riding easier.
  2. It's more secure. Its to do with how it stores things in its memory I think, it allows it to be more specific longer address for each cluster. Something like that I woudn't be surprised if I'm completely wrong though If you wikipedia it, it will tell you how it works.
  3. You generally run cassettes on splined hubs. The chris king one is a full length one, the standard hope pro II is the same. The pro II trials one, is 6spd only though, it's shorter. The onza hub idea is cheaper and cooler I wish I could do it Only hope would be to get dmr hanger-tensioners.
  4. It would seem, keep refreshing and you may get the other pics, albeit, you never get more than 2 at a time lol That backwards gear seems pretty cool, lol.
  5. haha, the mongol rally? My mate's doing that this year, lol. Good luck to them as well
  6. 1.6ghz dual core - 3.2ghz 1gb ram 60gb hard drive probs 128mb integrated graphics I know for a cat you can get, for £500, 1.8ghz - dual core 3.6ghz 2gb ram at least 80gb hard drive similar graphics take the one thescientist bought, his was cloer to £400 and yet has better spec than mine. I'll get you a few links in a sec. here for £500 * AMD Turion 64X2 Processor TL-60 * (2.0 GHz, 1600 MHz, 1 MB Cache) * Genuine Windows Vista ® Home Premium * 3 GB Memory * 160 GB Hard Drive * Lightscribe Super Multi DVD Rewriter * 17" BriteView Widescreen Display * NVIDIA GeForce 7150 Graphics Card * Integrated Webcam * Wireless Enabled which is way better even than i said integrated webcam too, haha. click for more laptops from currys Other people might suggest cheaper sites, so even better. Currys, though, if it needs fixing there's a shop you can walk into, unlike some internet sites.
  7. Mine was £550, and it can do photoshop and halflife and stuff You can get one the same spec for cheaper now, mine's a year old. For £500 you should be able to get summat that does what you want, for sure.
  8. Talk to Jon Mack! haha But seriously, he'll have all the advice you need.
  9. Lol, my finger went in my spokes and i snapped the end of the nail almost off. Took ages before it had grown enough to be removed, it f**king hurt like a twat too.
  10. I was tempted to do fixed rear 8 spd, it would allow you to use the try-all FFW, which would thus give you superior engagements over a rear freefreehub. I couldn't do it cus the gear hanger dropout is f**ked and I can't get a new one. It might work out cheaper, it also lets you change gear whilst freewheeling - the chain is still going. Onza do a disc rear fixed freehub, so you could get that and a ffw, less than 100 quid. Might cost you 110ish, 120 for the full setup. Compare that to, say, the price of a hope pro II trials. hehe
  11. hahaha personally, i think £75 is steep, and I'm probably not the only one who thinks: well, they say its a light rim, which it is, and it's supposd to be strong, so I suppose I'd buy one, but I think I'll wait for other people to buy them and see what they think before I do. Of course, this is all hypothetical, as I'm a 24" rider, and there's not a 24" version.
  12. I like how those are coloured, shame there's not an orange one. Looks just like a half link to me, only coloured. That would mean, it's likely to stretch like a bitch.
  13. Lucky I've got some of those If they're perfect, are they perfect for smooth rims or light ground rims or medium ground rims or harsh ground rims, and do they work the best in the dry or the wet? You can't have them all
  14. To which you reply, "Are you stupid?" Which is a trap, because they have to admit they're stupid to get you to open the door, and if they say no, it proves they're stupid anyway for shaking the door and asking if you're open when you're clearly not.
  15. Wow, a gyro? If they sell it as a complete bike, will it come with one? I don't suppose this is one of these? I'm also intrigued by this 'backwards' gear.
  16. When sat at a till "Are you open?" Well, i wouldn't f**king be there if I wasn't
  17. I laid in bed, and I thought about the girl. And as I tried to recall what she looked like, I had the peculiar sensation that all of myself was screaming, I want that girl. Annoyed, to say the least.
  18. We've had a long, good friendship so far, and I want it to stay like that. It would be a shame to ruin something that means a lot to me. ?
