  1. Cool beans. What material are you going for?
  2. Looks good though I think it would look better if the lightening holes followed the curvature of the ring rather than running straight.
  3. Do the bolts up just enough to hold the cylinders in place while still allowing you to twist/move them with a little effort. Get them very roughly aligned (straight on the rim and parallel with the rim in both orientations) then set the lever pull: Make sure your TPA is wound off and move the cylinders in until you get the desired amount of reach on the lever when the pads contact the rim. If the cylinders are too close, lever pressure should push them out, though you may need to play a little to get them even. Once you have that set you just need to tweak the alignment to make sure the pads hit the rim square and are parallel and aligned. Tighten the bolts up and you're good to go. It is much easier with mounts which don't sue the cylinder washers though...
  4. Still needs a nice Pivotal setup to finish it off!
  5. Im srsly nt cnvncd by tht. Text talk in anything other than texts is just plain lazy and really annoying... though, to be fair, I type properly in texts and use proper punctuation too. I truly hope it has no official place in the English language.
  6. Also the rotation has to be initiated before/on takeoff therefore a lot of the spin comes form preloading your body and bike prior to takeoff.
  7. If there is a God, he's one cruel, sadistic f**k who doesn't deserve to be worshipped that's for sure!
  8. Inspired forks have a threaded steerer . As Mark says, headsets can take a little while to bed in. One further point is to make sure that the crown race is fully on the forks and the cups are fully seated in the frame to be sure that it's not them which are settling in when you ride.
  9. Regardless why you chose to take grammar more seriously, it really will stand you in good stead in the future. Whether it's essays and school work or uni or job applications, a good grounding in English will always be incredibly important and useful.
  10. A frame/component that's had all the paint removed so you're left with the raw material on show.
  11. Surely someone like Truvativ/SRAM or Shitmano will buy them out?
  12. Haha, no it definitely isn't! A few scrapes and scratches and currently a little muddy from playing in the woods on the North Shore stuff!
  13. I'm with the viking...
  14. I'd be interested in hearing people's views on that too, with the added priviso of being bargainous. Wishing I'd got some 2009 WTB Prowler MX Races when CRC had them for £8.99 each but alternatives welcome! Edit: Oh yeah, and lightish too...
  15. New frame for the general XC/woods play/singletrack type bike. Steel is real? Check. Singlespeed? Check. Suspension seatpost? Controversial... Bottle opener in headtube gusset? Check. Nothing fancy but does the job and is nice and simple.
  16. Why stop at hamsters? Little wheels for shrews, big ass wheels for elephants and some with high quality bearings for cheetahs...
  17. Ah, sorry, I thought this was a renewal rather than a new tenancy not yet taken up. In theory then yes it's non refundable but, as has been said, it's worth phoning them and finding out where you stand.
  18. I don't read it like that. The booking fee is non refundable, but when you start your tenancy that fee becomes your deposit, which is centrally held, and which is returnable on the completion of your agreement. Best thing to do is initiate the process with the TDPS people who should send you paperwork to enable you to get the money back (subject to there being no damages etc. to recover).
  19. How incredibly pointless. Such lazy (if innovative) engineering to use the maggys to activate the drills.
  20. Were both tickets just for riding on the pavement? Damn Nazi's!
  21. Did he not sell the R8? Or was that to upgrade from a V8 to a V10?! Nobody should have to search a forum to find out if a rider owned company can be trusted. There should be some way of reporting an online store to get it removed from the interweb, trials-uk simply shouldn't exist anymore. I also really hope that trialsuk.co.uk hasn't suffered because of Dan f**king so many people around...
