Or you could try not to be such an argumentative twat all the time.

Uh huh.

Strictly speaking, is Ozzy right here? As far as I'm aware the accepted use of 'calorie' is actually the truncation of 'kcal' meaning that one 'calorie' actually is one thousand calories. If you get me... Edit: Actually, that would mean you're both wrong and a pound of fat would be 3,500,000 calories. Meh.

Afraid Ghostrider's right, Matt. It's the disc lever that doesn't have the knob.

Exactly. If you look for videos of someone like Toni Bou, the most watched are often the ones of him pissing about challenging himself doing stuff on the back wheel. People aren't that interested in him attacking the same rock in the same way again and again or in fact really efficiently getting though a section- he knows that people are impressed and respect the awkward moves which are clearly challenging him.

Carbon fibre is carbon fibre but there is scope for a massive variation in strength and performance when it is laid up and made into a component. Singlespeed spacers will just have been made from a length of relatively simple and cheap CFRP tube but to make something like a set of bars or a frame where strength is required the layup process, fibre orientation, number of plies etc. all makes a massive difference to how the final product will behave. Seems like Santa Cruz know what they're doing but I'm still not convinced that CFRP is necessarily the best option for trials frames which often get scratched and beaten to shit.

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...

I used a grinder followed by a dremel and a file. Worked quite well actually.

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.

Jebus, they really are taking it to another level aren't they?!

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.

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...

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).

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?

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.

Think Euan was riding chainless for those clips.

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?!

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

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.

Care to upload the other vids? That was a really good watch

Oh. You're 28. Right. Ok. Carry on.

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?

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.

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.
