That stuff worries me... we snapped a wing spar from a UAV model last week running that type of tube and it didn't seem like it was 'proper'... it's not laminated carbon weave is it? The spar cracked like it was made of brittle plastic rather than proper CF composite.

Pete?

Really? There have been a couple of Euan's other vids but don't remember this one.

Really liked that. You have a really cool controlled and smooth style which makes everything look easy. Some big lines in there too. Nice one

Thought that might be the case. Looks 'Clean'... see what I did there?

What a weird thing to say... Very creative riding and considering Euan's been riding less than two years (I think) he's progressing rally fast. Good stuff!

Shipping+VAT+Import duty etc makes it less reasonable... As an aside, why would you want a Ti headset anyway? Headset cups are alloy so the Ti version of the Echo SL is actually 30g heavier... Meh!

1. Red BB cups for the win. 2. Does the rear tyre actually clear the seat?! 3. What's the deal with the seatpost- wedgebodge or just bonded in? Whatever, looks really clean, good work that man!

What a random division of time! Good job on the clip though!

So when are we doing Inmotion 2?

Mmm...

Turning your bars definitely does help- by tweaking the bars in the direction you want to travel, it means you also drop your shoulder a touch and this helps rotate your body so the bike can follow.

The area of a regular pentagon (5 equal length sides) can be found by separating it into 'slices' across the corners (most likely creating 5 isosceles triangles). If you have enough information you can then just find the area of one of these and multiply by 5. If more information is required you can split each of the individual triangles into two new right angled triangles and take it from there. Just depends what geometry you're given.

Yes. You need to find x by itself. There are currently 7 x's so you need to divide both sides by 7 giving: x=4/7 edit: be careful of how many '=' signs you end up with. To be totally correct you should only have one 'equals' on each line so: 7x + 14 = 18 7x = 4 x = 4/7 edit 2: Also, as dann says you often won't get a nice number if you make something up like that. If an answer results in a fraction like that it's usually neater to leave it as it is- so the final answer is x = 4/7 rather than x = 0.57142857142857142857142857142857. Yes, exactly that- the 6 is multiplying each term within the first bracket and 8 is multiplying each of the terms in the second bracket.

Yeah, it's all about balancing the sides. Removing any kind of confusing unknown in the form of an 'x' or whatever: We all know 2+2 = 4 (ignore my avatar) That's an equation in it's basic form so we can manipulate it and it will still be true so long as we do the same thing to both sides so: 2+2+396.7 = 4+396.7. Works the same with more awkward functions: (2+2)2 = 42 and (2+2)/16 = 4/16 provided you do the same to both sides, it will always remain true.

Note that it would still work out correct if you did it the other way, taking away the larger numbers. You'd get: -12 = -2x and so x = 6. It's just generally easier to stick with positive numbers.

Just give Tarty a ring. Adam and his inhuman knowledge of all things bicycle related will be able to tell you immediately the diameter required, tolerances the frames and bearings are made to, thermal stability of the material it's made of and what you had for tea last night.

Surely that's dependant on what you're stuck to it with. Vomit or faeces may take the edge off it I guess?...

Hi and welcome... just to be clear this is primarily a biketrials forum (pedal power) rather than moto though some of us do ride both.

Is this just because my name's too long? Looks like it should all be in the grey toolbar type bit.

We're dicks! We're reckless, arrogant, stupid dicks. And the Film Actors Guild are pussies. And Kim Jong Il is an asshole. Pussies don't like dicks, because pussies get f**ked by dicks. But dicks also f**k assholes: assholes that just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can f**k an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is: they f**k too much or f**k when it isn't appropriate - and it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes, pussies can be so full of shit that they become assholes themselves... because pussies are an inch and half away from ass holes. I don't know much about this crazy, crazy world, but I do know this: If you don't let us f**k this asshole, we're going to have our dicks and pussies all covered in shit! Edit: Not aimed at anyone, just something to lighten the mood a touch...

Egypt was so last week. I think you may have missed the true meaning to his statement there...

I was very close to voting 10 but removed 1 for not being a millionaire doctor (yet) with a dream car/bike garage and no worries in the world. Things are very good however so 9 it is. I worry for those voting zero...

I concur.
