  1. What makes me more angry is the lack of the orange circle for the 'o' in 'attention'. If you're gonna go with a theme at least do it right! The fact he had Belvita bicuits makes me think she may not be his type...
  2. I used a grinder followed by a dremel and a file. Worked quite well actually.
  3. That static hook thing at 2:22 is f**king huge. Impressive riding but as said, very boring to watch and his shouting just makes me want to travel to France to track him down and slap him everytime he does it. Something along the lines of being Tango'd I think would do it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6yCgtehwUE ^ for those of you who are too young to have a clue what I'm on about.
  4. Jebus, they really are taking it to another level aren't they?!
  5. If I were you I'd go back to basics and mock up a couple of components to check the theory and then go back to the more complex assembly. I'd hazard a guess that problems with mates (such as the concentricity (is that a word?) of the axes) could be causing the problem.
  6. If you manually manipulate the jaw does the system work as it should? You'll need plenty more mates in place I think if it is only the screw mate you've used...
  7. I was only assuming it was the indicators but it was more like the side lights or auxiliary lights and it's randomly flickering (as in left to right out of sync rather than hazards flashing periodically and together).
  8. What's with the flickery indicators over the past couple of weeks? Is it like a safety feature like hazards automatically coming on when you slam on the brakes?
  9. And that's a bad thing, right?... I want to dig him up just to punch him in the face every time I see that picture.
  10. Think Euan was riding chainless for those clips.
  11. There's just no beating that burping sound when air escapes every time you land or takeoff. Combined with those burps messing with your braking surface (for rim brakes) what's not to like?!
  12. The big office window reminds me of OCC... I'd love to see a Tarty fly-on-the-wall docu-soap involving mayhem and mischief! Premises look really good guys, good going
  13. Knock 'em out and fit new ones? Remove the cups, get something like a well sized socket to know out the old ones (with the help of a vice probably) and then press the new ones in either with a socket picking up on the external race or some kind of press. Probably.
  14. Care to upload the other vids? That was a really good watch
  15. Oh. You're 28. Right. Ok. Carry on.
  16. The second part was a serious question as well (though a bit sarcastically written). Apart from you telling us it's harder do you have any data to back up that it is anything other than DOT fluid?
  17. Right... well that's cleared that up. Except that what you're talking about is compressibility and the majority of fluids which can be used in brakes can be effectively considered as incompressible at standard atmospheric temperature and pressure. Why do you think that tank brake fluid is any different? My guess is that the army just buy DOT fluid in bulk from a supplier with the main difference being that it comes in a khaki 50 litre drum.
  18. I used to have a Raider! Loved that thing . Then got a Tamiya Vanessa's Lunchbox which is probably still (in pieces) in a box in Scotland.
  19. But read this first. Or just use water.
  20. Fair enough. I've always run mine equal but I guess it makes sense when you say it like that...
  21. Not necessarily true (Marty/ins ran standard Hope hubs for years) but I do agree that it'd be worth swapping the rear hub out for a Pro2 trials. The Bulb hub should fetch a few quid on ebay which should almost fund a Pro2 if you're lucky.
  22. The only one I could find was this:
  23. Fair enough. Nothing stopping him trying it though. Chainline can be tweaked after all!
