  1. Yeah, beacause a frozen can of Coke would look different to an unfrozen wouldn't it?! Oh, wait... Because the Polar bear was so hot due to global warming, a nice lady put his Coke into a freezer to cool him down and cheer him up. Unfortunately not only did she use pretend Coke but she also forgot it was there. This made the Polar Bear livid with unquenched rage so he attacked the stupid lady for ruining his day. This made him feel a little better but he could only be truly calmed by his friend Ted the husky.
  2. Bit more info? What does the lever feel like, are the pads moving and making contact with the rotor? Does the brake make honking noises when it drags?
  3. A higher front end would help (either higher rise bars or stem) but first try using your body weight more. While you're rolling along gently throw your weight forward a bit and then immediately throw your weight backwards as you yank your bars and haul the front wheel up. It's kind of hard to describe but you want to use the momentum of your upper body travelling back to pull the front wheel up.
  4. You're telling me that's not a photo of a rotor? What the...?!
  5. That's because most bike shops wouldn't know an M6 screw if it hit them in the face!
  6. It actually made a lot of sense in my mind... just nobody took on the idea! Because wheel size is done on outside diameter, as with Mods using a 19" rim to give a fat rear tyre with larger air volume so a 25" rim could allow a bigger air volume tyre while keeping the OD 26". If a couple of tyre/rim manufacturers had taken it on for downhilling or whatever it could've been more mainstream I reckon. Nevermind! No longer produced, but were available for a good few years.
  7. Yeah one of my old housemates used to have one- ran a set of upside down and bodged Magura Evo mounts to use a standard 26" rim and still use a rim brake.
  8. Well what do you know- it's 1.5mm. Just measured it with a guessometer in t'garage. Edit: And don't say I'm not good to you!!
  9. 'Standard' doesn't really mean anything though when the options are Fine and Coarse.
  10. Measure it? I'm guessing 1.5mm (). Can't be bothered going into the garage to measure it though .
  11. Same here with V3.1. Tom and Danny are working on V4.0 at the moment so I think things are being changed in the background. Edit: Reply and things are visible in V4... Gallery's still a little messed up though.
  12. To be honest, I think you would be best off buying Monkey Life Series 1 and Series 2. I find the TV show paints a fairly complete and accurate view of Monkey World and all the attractions you can see there. They also have a fairly useful website and you can now follow and support them on both Facebook and Twitter .
  13. 18:14 always felt about right when I was doing comps although that was with 160mm cranks. I'd say 18:15 will be too light since, as has been said, that's fairly standard 26" ratio.
  14. Damn... finally got the sim registered, topped up with £5 and bought a £10 'goodybag' and it appears that although my phone is not locked and can phone and text through Giffgaff no problems, the APN data settings are locked to tesco. I've added a new APN setup with all the Giffgaff settings but the Tesco ones can't be modified or deleted and I can't access the interweb without a WLAN. Will try phoning Tesco tomorrow t osee what they say but are there any otehr suggestions out there?!

    Unfixed

    I actually did as well... Obviously that's not all I thought but I did notice it straight away.
  16. I'm not sure they exist... 14" seems to be the smallest 'proper' wheels you can get.
  17. Are you after standard or internal? Standard I've been very happy with the FSA Orvit Equipe- really smooth and solid wihtout being overkill like the Pig.
  18. Absolutely. I can't even start to count the number of threads in SM Chat relating to paedophilia.
  19. That's really not that funny. At all. However, I've never seen 'to catch a predator' so will take your word for it .
  20. That. Is. Awesome. Someone sig it please (but spelt correctly of course ). Paedophilia can be funny. Fact.
  21. Yeah, for some reason the bike came with black forks rather than the specced white and I think the whites look better so the guys at Inspired were happy to swap them .
