Preston(or Morecambe) Ride On.....
Pork Pie replied to Will Arnold's topic in Member Organised Rides
Make it Morecambe. You just can't beat Morecambe :unsure:" -
Really nice vid :lol: Sweet riding and the video shows that it was a really fun day (Y) Sweet!
-
Oh my god. That was immense (Y) Some of the best riding I've ever seen. The hook that was the height of Benito was crazy. Definateley worth the d/l, seriously crazy stuff :D They all seem to do it so easily too :D Crazy drop from Benito n'all (Y) Get downloading! It's ace!
-
What time you thinking? Have you set off already? :lol:
-
Theres loads of Pics and stuff at http://www.koxx.fr/externals/koxxdays. Whats Giaco riding? :S Ok, maybe I should look at more pics first :">
-
New XTP apparently; Noticably higher BB Looks like everyone had an awesome time!
-
Adobe Premiere :( Ta everyone

Yoho Ahoy, I've just uploaded a new video, please leave honest opinions, constructive critisism is cool. Ta to the shack Don't actually know how big it is, around 46MB I think, and 5:10ish, wmv format. Riding's just me, so is nothing special. Shit BMX doesn't suit a long bike :P" Ta, Dave Ignore the King at the start, it's new, and it's a new noise :P" And ignore the Maxxis logo thing. Only thing you should look out for is the Robinsons logo :P
-
Ooh, Ooh, me too :P" I can't see this working though :o Refer me Cheers, Dave
-
28mm :P Can't say I've noticed any difference personally, going from 28 to 38mm, which is nice :P Yeah, whatever Trevor
-
Yo, Just a bit of a random video really, if you want to watch something different: Neva Forever It's like 10 mins long, and personally I think it's a cool watch. Dave Pretty poor quality, but 10 mins for 28MB, what can you expect. Certainly watchable though :P The musics pretty cool and mellow too :P Inspirational in parts too.

My KMC thin didn't fit when I used to use a 9 spd cassette. It kind of works, as in you can pedal it, but the chain doesn't sit on the teeth properly. I used it for a while, but it jumped off the cassette sometimes, and I guess if it's not sitting on the teeth properly, it wears everything out a bit quicker? I'd advise maybe spacing your cassette so your trials sprocket has an extra spacer each side. Can't see it doing any harm really, as I guess the only other gears you use are a smaller sprocket than the trials one anyway? So maybe just be careful and don't shift past it? Only reason for this IMO, is that KMC's are the only reliable chain out there, that I've used anyway :P

I got a buy one get one free code, I think there's several types (Y) Edit: Silly

It is if you're measuring it 'properly' (Y) Although it's usually near enough anywhoos.
-
Silver, black and purple, with a fine hint of green, orange, red and brown (N) And a bit of yellow, can't forget the yellow

I drew you a diagram :P Dunno about £GBP prices though. XE.com's usually up there with the latest rates :D Edit: Whack a spacer on the driveshell, as the spacers don't take up all of the shell, so measuring it all won't give you an accurate measurement. Line up the ring to where you want it, measure from the side of the spacer nearest the hub shell to the nearest (and closest part) of the sprocket you're gonna use, and then do it on the other side to the end of the driveshell :D

Really good! Video was amazing, crazy riding to say the least (N) Sites looking good too!
-
Feckin awesome! Best I've seen for ages :D Wonder if the Selectbikes vid'll beat it (N)"

Mika is willing to sell to us Brits :) I only got two prices, which I think will probably be the most popular, so: Magura covers are 10€, and S/s spacer kits are 15€ (both sides). You have to measure what sizes you want yourself, and he'll whack you up a set. He's able to make them to 0.1mm tolerances. And about the brake rotor, "the brake feeling was too sticky and there was no modulation when braking. " "It was practically an on/off brake. Steel is better, but carbon is better looking :)"

GAR-IDGE in the wonderful village that is Staveley And Scon :(

How do Magic Eye images work? Images commonly referred to as Magic EyeÒ images (after the company that produces them) are actually part of a wider range of computer generated imagery called stereograms, or more specifically Single Image Random Dot Stereograms (SIRDS), also called autostereograms. "Throughout history, people have developed ways to generate more lifelike two dimentional images. Precedents to stereograms include simple depth cues (as in art), stereoscopic photography (which used an instrument called a stereoscope to view two similar but different photographs simultaneously), anaglyphs (which require 3D glasses), and holograms, all of which produced in the viewer the perception of depth upon viewing a two dimentional image. Depth perception is ordinarily a result of two processes. The first process, called convergence, directs each eye to focus on a particular object, such that each eye has a different image of the same object. The second process, called stereopsis, is carried out by the brain, which fuses the two different images together to produce the perception of depth. The research of Bela Julesz (1959) showed that the human brain could perceive depth information without adhering to visual cues. Julesz research centered on the development of random dot stereograms (RDS), which eliminated the depth cues inherent in recognizable images. First, Julesz would generate an image of random dots. Next, he would select a circular area of dots within the image and shift the area slightly to create a different, but similar image of random dots. Finally, Julesz would place the two images side by side to create a stereo pair (a pair of slightly different images). Upon viewing the stereo pair, the viewer would perceive a circle floating above the background. This is how the brain accounts for the difference in the stereo pair. Whereas Julesz research proved that depth perception could arise solely as a result of stereopsis, Tyler and Clarke, in 1979, discovered that a separate pair of images is not needed for stereopsis to occur. The research of Tyler and Clarke effectively explained the "wallpaper effect," a 3D effect produced by staring cross-eyed at wallpaper. Essentially, the "walpaper effect" is a focusing error. Typically, the eyes will converge onto a single point. But given a repeating pattern, the brain might be confused to the extent that the eyes "focus" onto two different, but identical points in the pattern. The brain will then perceive depth because the actual convergence point is somewhere behind the pattern. As a result, the perceived depth can be controlled by altering the period of the repeating pattern (the distance between each unit pair). Single Image Random Dot Stereograms (SIRDS) make use of brain mismatching when viewing a repeating pattern. The difficulty in perceiving depth in SIRDS lies in the fact that the viewer’s eyes must lock onto different parts of the repeating pattern. Ordinarily, the eyes will converge onto the same point. By defocusing the eyes (one tactic is to look "through" the two dimensional image) it is possible to bypass convergence and experience depth in a repeating pattern. It is also possible to stare "cross-eyed" at an autostereogram to percieve depth, though the image you would percieve would be inverted from its intended depth. It is only possible to generate SIRDS by using computer imaging techniques. First, a three dimensional drawing is created. Next, a repeating pattern is generated to cover over the 3D image. Finally, the computer uses an algorithm to orient the period of the repeating pattern to the intended depth of the 3D image. In this way, the brain receives depth information from the repeating pattern, and from that information, generates the 3D image contained within.

Haha, that's awesome!

Have you thought about trying Hopes new hose, which can fit a maggy? £25 from here. Might be worth trying? Looks pretty funky IMO anyway, shame you'll be one of the first people to try it and give a review :blink:
