  1. I was so feeling the Rowan love with Ali's barrier hop!
  2. Looks a bit complicated to me though, JT...
  3. I've been using it for the past few years and have 'earned' over £150 back. It sometimes takes a while for the money to land but they seem very legit. Definitely recommended to anyone who buys pplenty online.
  4. Jesus. I'm sick to death of hearing about f**king iPads. iPood's are where it's at.
  5. Possibly but possibly not! Give tarty a ring tomorrow and see if they can measure up a Trialtech one. The main dimension (assuming the hubs use the same size bearings) you need to check is the 90mm one between the shoulders which the inner races sit against. If that's the same chances are you could be on to a winner.
  6. The Onza T- Master hub is a mod hub so will be for 116mm spacing. That's a stock hub so needs a 135mm axle. Note that the measurement is the internal distance across faces of the dropout. That should pretty much match up to the polished looking bits which start at ~6mm from the ends of the axle (and will sit in the dropout itself). Your best bet is to contact either Onza or Tarty and find out if they have anything to suit. Next option would be to get a new one turned up.
  7. Nothing like streetching the truth, eh?! MMM- will PM you a rough idea of what's involved.
  8. What sort of work do you want/have you done? We're currently advertising for a wind tunnel technician starting at about £22k...
  9. So you won't lose your teeth by starting 4" from the edge?
  10. Only if you start like 18" from the edge, which would be stupid. You want your rear axle line to be maybe 4" from the edge to give the wheel a chance to accelerate before takeoff. That's probably the simplest way to begin with, you can try pinch gaps later. However, as has been said you should just be replicating your flat gapping technique so just do what you usually do.
  11. That's a shame. Mine's still going strong after two and a half years with no problems. Did you not notice a crack a month ago within the warranty period?!
  12. If I were you I'd probably have left that out... Agreed though that both Jez and Hamster would certainly still have no problem finding employment (not that they need it) if TG were to be cancelled. Both are reasonably good writers and columnists so would never struggle even away from TV.
  13. Someone give that boy a motorbike...
  14. Right... so any frame that looks anything like a frame that someone else broke can't be trusted? Sorry but that's a rubbish reason to have a poor opinion of anything! And the bars.... well.... did you crack the Born bars or some other carbon ones? Again, you can't really judge one product on the performance of something completely different.
  15. I did not know that () I manage the wind tunnels at the Uni of Southampton.
  16. Good to know you used to respekt their gangsta ways. I've always gone with JD's advice- I tend not to acknowledge people that look like trouble and just carry on without thinking twice. Provided you don't give them evils or owt they should have no reason to hassle you. Probably best not to be talking on your iPhone when you go past either I'd say . And yeah, carrying a penknife is a f**king stupid idea.
