  1. I see, it's the first complete 20" they're offering.
  2. Have you heard of this website? www.ridden.it Seems to do what you're suggesting.
  3. "Based heavily around the popular RockMan Manus frame, the RockMan Austin frame is used as the basis for RockMan's first entry into the 20" market." What does this mean? Rockman have made mods before.
  4. I dunno, it's not eaten through the seals in my brake in the 3 years it's been since I last bled my brake. The tubing in your car it runs through is also made from plastic, it hasn't eaten through those in the 11 years my car's been around for either.
  5. A slipping back brake doesn't necessarily need bleeding. If it feels squidgier than usual that's the sign for a rebleed. Slipping brake needs cleaning/(re)grinding.
  6. Benefits: Free (well, antifreeze costs a little bit) to rebleed, you can do it wherever you like, and it's a thinner, lighter feeling fluid than the oil. Drawbacks: unless you add antifreeze the brake will freeze in winter, and some pistons sometimes absorb a bit of water over time. You can do it to a standard HS33.
  7. There's a limit to how small you can make them without making them weak - 18t is about that limit. If you run an 18t on the back on a mod you'd need a 24t on the front, which doesn't leave much room for clearance.
  8. Remember you can even out the feel of BB height with bar height. Having a higher centre of gravity will make balancing harder though - I noticed this on my because 24" - It's worth noting that whilst you can make a high BB frame feel similar to a low BB frame by changing bar height, you can't make a low BB frame feel like a high BB frame without making it ride worse. At least that's the way I see it. I'd still pick the +35 1070 version if I were you, though.
  9. I think - because 2011 black/orange version which is +35 bb 1070mm wb (short) - this one will be the less radical change to the bike you're riding at the moment. You should get on with that one the most.

    Help

    Veeeeery unlikely.
  11. Few years old now. Rides good. A respray would see it straight.
  12. None of those. Clearly it's a real bee.
  13. It begins with P, and sounds like Nirate Bay. Disclaimer: Niracy is a crime, don't do it.
  14. Didn't I show you that? Bugga maaaaaan!
  15. Awww shit. It's the spelling bee.
  16. This. Typing like a retard is a bad habit. It's something you should've got out of at school. Good english skills will help you to apply for jobs. Exercising these skills regularly will mean you keep them in check. Furthermore, if you're going to ask for help, you should make it as easy as possible for the person you're asking to help you. It's kind of a matter of principle. This includes putting across all of the information you know. Ideally this needs good language skills because it helps to avoid people getting the wrong end of the stick. It also shows that you've tried to solve the problem yourself, which can help avoid people telling you things you've already found out.
  17. That's true. A battery's easier to wrap as well.
  18. Merry Christmas, Dad. Here's a battery.
  19. Lol, if you want a 24" one, I'm selling mine
  20. I reckon it's more that water bleeds voids your warranty.
  21. My brother's got a tanglewood, it's prettygood. His isn't electro though so I can't comment on that. Hard to bend on, like virtually all acoustics I've ever played but I'm aware that's not teally the point. I recommend trying to win that!
  22. That sounds oooooooooold. You should somehow get hold of a copy of Premiere Pro CS3 or later.
  23. It should work in theory. Assuming the top cap on the head doctor is held on by a bolt, all you'd really need is a longer bolt with the right shape head for the recess in that top cap.
  24. Providing I at least feel a little bit like sleeping, I have a system for getting there. Normally, when I try to sleep I let my mind wander. I think in words and I can get carried away thinking of shit and because my brain's working at 100mph it takes ages until I burn out and go to sleep. When I TRY to sleep, this is how I do it: Lie in a comfortable position. Usually I lie on my back with my hands over my waist, or on the bed. Focus on your breathing. Breathe slowly. Think about how slowly you actually breathe when you're sleep and gradually, maybe over 30-60 seconds slow your breathing to this sort of speed. Now, relax your head, and your face muscles. relax your shoulders relax your chest relax your arms relax your abs relax your waist relax your upper legs relax your lower legs relax your feet The end result is you're lying there with your body feeling like dead weight. Now, try not to think of too much. I'm shit at picturing stuff but I try to picture doing something, going somewhere. Thinking a little bit is ok but try to keep tabs on it. Always keep breathing slowly. You might sort of snap in and out of awareness, you're aiming to go out but sometimes you do just snap aware again. If it happens just keep at the original goal - not too much thought. Try to sort of feel for when you're drifting off and kinda encourage yourself to do it. Try to gently become absorbed in whatever you're picturing. I don't always do it but it helps me get to sleep quickly if I need to. It even works when my mind is f**ked. If you're not at all tired it might not work.
