  1. I do that all the time. I got the number thing again. There was 8 0's. Tell you what I do, I read prices the wrong way round. For example, today, i had a bill at £11.88. And i started to say, £88.11. I do that AAAAALLLLLLLLL the time.
  2. It's an all-mountain fork and... I got it because I wanted lockout and adjustable travel, but not the 20mm axle that comes with Pike. Pikes are more expensive to start with, then add ontop of that the need to buy a new hub/spokes or a whole wheel... hence getting the recon forks I will one day get pikes for it, but that can be when I'm rolling in maybe £1000 a month. They're just too much atm.
  3. That frame is weird They made loads of typos on that page as well too, haha It just looks like a mess of wires. Cool idea though, but that would never do trials.
  4. ? Swapping the levers round? Lol, i want to see your tyre now. Forget about drilling your frame, I reckon. Save that for when you can afford to replace stuff when it breaks. I know I couldn't.
  5. You woulda thought they'd have the brains to know gravel was a bad idea? Obviously not lol Does look like a fun little setup though.
  6. These framed do look sweet but £500 is a bit much lol.
  7. They're not distributed to england, which sucks. =/ Good old pro II it is then!
  8. I want one of those for my jump bike lol. A bit suspicious of the spoke idea, having nipples at either end. edit: I don't think this hub comes with that though.
  9. The general consensus in here is that they're not so good. Which could explain why they're not made any more.
  10. I think the reason for that is that from the outside, it would look quite the same - they're unable to read as well. However its what the person in question experiences that counts, like NBRcycles and plot/pilot.
  11. surreal photomanipulation? lol Look on deviantart, and go through the different genres there. If you don't recognise the word, then what images it brings up might tell you the answer.
  12. Well, i was right about henry. He was holed up in a tunnel because he didn't want to be repainted, I believe. You're right, Gordon was blue. haha It was James - red - who had the wooden brakes that once set alight.
  13. there's a difference between being not that good at maths, and looking at lots of the same things, and going '...the f**k?'
  14. My times tables were never that good, I can do 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, and 10, n stuff like that, buth others I need to add the numbers up. Also, I CAN work out change, but wereas the till does it instantly, and a good maths person in few seconds, it might take me... 20 seconds ? I'm normally right though, haha. I hope I'm normally right...
  15. Gordon has square eyes lol. Henry was green, i think, at one point. Gordon's red, i reckon. Hell, it's a f**king long time since I read those books.
  16. I've done that a bit. I can't count stuff very well, lol. Dunno why. If at work, i'm presented with 12 cans of summat, i have to arrange them to be easily counted. Also, if I get a reduced item, which normally begins, 91000000, but sometimes 910000000, and sometimes different still, it's difficult to make myself count the zeros. I normally press the 0 button, and count each one. But to look at them and know how many there are just by looking, i can't do it very well. Same with maths, when I do maths in my head it feels like such a challenge to keep all the numbers in my head at once. It's a weird sensation, I can't describe it except for it being a challenge. Dyscalculia, is it? haha I used to be badass at spelling, I can spell most words, even words I've never seen before. But recently, sometimes I catch myself hesitate a little. Today, I very nearly even used the wrong 'your'. When I'm draconian about that, even with myself.
  17. Is that his boxx? Is that your boxx?
  18. Sky? Sky has better customer service than Virgin, and you might get a good deal with the telly too, which could be useful, sports channels and the like. Wireless, if you buy a router, it would be a good investment as you can take it to your next house. Or you could all pool in, they're not that expensive, specially if there's 5 of you.
  19. I think the place that science and religion collide is where the universe began. No-one can understand how something came from nothing, and that if there was stuff before the universe, where that came from.
  20. Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  21. For example, going down into nanotechnology, aluminium is supposed to be explosive. We all ride explosive bikes!
  22. That's the stuff. This bike i've built to be versatile. I've fixed the compression dial on the forks now. Too many people fiddling with it when they shouldn't... perhaps even me! All i need to do to the forks now, is find the rebound adjust thing (lol) and get stiffer springs, and the key upgrade for the travel adjust. Stiffer springs should eliminate the need for the compression dial.
  23. Gonna get a XT one. I'll buy a chainring, chain device and new gears all in one go, i reckon. Although i might just have the geard n shifter and get the other stuff later.
