  1. I'd hazard a guess they're prototypes of some kind... They're Shimano's from the looks of it- under the 'Pro' brand. Danny Mac Singature bars anyone?
  2. He needs to get that shit sorted. Blue components and corporate backing from Irn Bru for the MF win... Edit:
  3. All I can say is 'try it'. Find someone with a good water bleed and compare it to a standard oil bleed and you'll be surprised at the difference in lever feel. As I've said many times before I've run pure tap water in my Magura's for the past 8+ years and have never had a problem with leaks, corrosion or my knee falling off. What I have had is a far lighter lever feel and solid braking. The whole warranty thing doesn't really mean anything in my book. Magura know their seals will last for 5 years using oil. Good. Except water .
  4. I understand the offside rule but don't understand what determines whether a free kick is direct or indirect...
  5. No selling in NMC yada yada. Reported yada yada. This is a trials forum etc. etc.
  6. I'm a wierd Scottish person who's now a semi Southern Fairy and I heard it as 'No rush though' straight away... But then maybe my ear's tuned into Paul's accents from watching the Fast Show back in the day.
  7. Another cause for hilarity at the cheating scum in road racing... Fabian Cancellara. Discuss.
  8. He suffered horrific injuries when some pipes fell on him at his work a few days ago. He was put on life support but has tragically lost his fight and passed away yesterday. Jack: Probaby worth changing the title or first post to make the situation a bit clearer as not everyone will be aware of the circumstances.
  9. Absolutely awful news. Such a tragic loss. I only met him a few times but he seemed like such a chilled, friendly guy and really down to earth. My thoughts are with his family and friends .
  10. Coulda fooled me after yesterday's performance . The biggest issue I have with the current English football frenzy is that you all expect to win every match and expect to go a long way in the WC. For most countries, including the biggies like Brazil, the fans seem to want the team to win and are passionate and supportive of the team, regardless of whether they actually win or lose. Obviously they'd like their team to win but don't necessarily expect it like England fans seem to.
  11. I'm guessing a few others could also be 'urban legends'.
  12. Wow. Not sure I'd want online technical support from someone who doesn't know where the caps lock button is on a keyboard. Reported. Please don't spam.
  13. I r impressed!! That looks really good- well done for seeing it through!
  14. If by 'dark lord' you mean 'Clifford', then yes, yes he is. Antitron vid series on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ate2yNhLVUc
  15. First up, very few frames have 2mm tubes these days from what I unerstand. The Inspired has a 2mm downtube and that tube is hench. You'll probably find that Rockman frame has ~1mm tubing on the downtube and possibly even less in the centre if it's butted. Secondly, unless you're some freakishly weak starving child from Africa I'm pretty sure you could completely demolish a frame with a hammer, especially using 'all your possible strength'. Round tube's aren't that strong if you try and crush them (coke can as an example which some modern lightweight frames aren't far from) so a hammer blow is going to muller a tube. The protector will dissipate the force of an impact (within reason) along the length of the protector and will go a long way to saving your frame. Add in the 43g mass and pimp carbon-ness and I don't really see the joke! Edit: *cough*
  16. That sounds really nasty- hopefully he's in good hands though and will pull through. Thoughts are with his family and friends.
  17. You've got to giggle haven't you?
