  1. 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.
  2. If there is a God, he's one cruel, sadistic f**k who doesn't deserve to be worshipped that's for sure!
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. A frame/component that's had all the paint removed so you're left with the raw material on show.
  6. Surely someone like Truvativ/SRAM or Shitmano will buy them out?
  7. 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!
  8. I'm with the viking...
  9. 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...
  10. 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.
  11. Why stop at hamsters? Little wheels for shrews, big ass wheels for elephants and some with high quality bearings for cheetahs...
  12. 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.
  13. 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).
  14. How incredibly pointless. Such lazy (if innovative) engineering to use the maggys to activate the drills.
  15. Were both tickets just for riding on the pavement? Damn Nazi's!
  16. 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...
  17. Does that involve breaking his compass or like giving him a dodgy bearing to follow or what?
  18. I know I know! Now the weather's picking up I should be able to get something done fairly soon. Andy's keen to play cameraman so just need to get my shit together!
  19. English exams are about telling them what they want to hear in my experience. They want to read about how you've picked up on metaphors, similes, alliteration etc. However, when it comes to creative writing it is about accurate use of English combined with imagination and a good understanding of the use of those things mentioned above.
  20. Not so much spelt wrong just an odd expression where the 'most' is kind of superfluous.
  21. Ooh, that does sound quite fun .
