  1. That 'County: West Yorkshire' tends to be a fairly good guide as to who makes that list. Just sayin'.
  2. Personally I'd have attributed the way he looks to his parents but each to his own
  3. Nicely shot but the riding really doesn't warrant it I'm afraid!
  4. Very possibly the gayest thing I've ever seen. Depends whether you want to do it while backhopping or bunnyhopping or whatever but essentially it's a case of leaning back with fairly straight legs and forcing your arms round.
  5. Who else was in the MBUK Wrecking Crew for a while? I probably still have the tee at home somewhere! I only joined for the dogtags though...
  6. I do wish they'd stop using that picture which makes him look like such a smug unt.
  7. Oh yeah, I forgot! Actually, I'm good
  8. That may be so, but none of those things make me want to buy an energy drink... I find it impressive what companies like Red Bull have achieved, which almost seems to be less about selling the drink now and more about promoting every kind of underground type of sport you can think of. Apple just need to rename a product and all the fanboys will buy it. And I actually do think that a lot of their stuff 'sells because it looks cool'- that's what the fanboys want. In some circles you simply have to be an Apple person to be accepted and I find that really sad, particularly when some of the products are so frickin' closed and restrictive for no reason whatsoever.
  9. Pancreatic cancer diagnosed in 2003.
  10. Really? I can't stand Apple but can see that he was in charge of the company when it put out some pretty innovative products but I wouldn't go that far. As an aside, how involved actually was he in the concept/design of products like the iPod or did one of his guys come up with the concept and he then managed to promote it very efficiently to all the 'cool' people in the world? Edit: Come to think of it, for geezer with personal wealth in excess of £5 billion and a company worth over £200 billion, the fact he surely that raises some questions over the ethics behind him/his associations...
  11. I'd go for the Trialtech if I were you. The benefits of a dual-wheel type sprung tensioner definitely outweigh the anything you gain with the Echo one in my view.
  12. Ah, cool beans. Looking at the pics I've found with the reservoir cap removed it certainly looks like cast ally.
  13. As opposed to...? No first hand experience but I'd be 99.9% confident that they'll have an ally body.
  14. It's just a random picture taken off of Google.
  15. I concur. Doesn't look like the BB's been out (ever?!) to check if it's actually through the shell or not...
  16. I think the issue with warranty is that the chain must've been hitting since the bike was built. Nothing has changed or failed, except you failing to notice the issue ! I'd have thought hub flange spacing is as much of an issue as freewheel spacers too- I know flange spacing and so chainline is certainly not constant between different hubs so would also affect things. As has been suggested, flip your 12T cog round (might need a couple of shims to space it out a little depending on the hub, chain and sprocket) and use a freewheel spacer and the frame will probably last without any problem. Well, it'll eventually break somewhere but I doubt it will be where the chain's been rubbing. Edit: *cough*
  17. Found on Facebook. Quite picturesque but not as much trialsy stuff as with the likes of Chris Ackrigg's vids. Interesting he's on GT's as well...
  18. I've always been a strong supporter of Lewis but this season he just seems to be making too many unforced errors and actively causing too many accidents. Yesterday with Massa was completely avoidable and just plain stupid from a driver of his standard. In this instance I can certainly see where Massa's coming from.
