4.5m/s? That's a really shit gun... I could throw the bullet faster than that!

My thoughts exactly.

You could be putting pressure on certain nerves in the palm of your hand when you ride. Think about where you hold the bars and also consider getting some gloves with a bit of padding in the area towards the outside of the bars. A change to fatter, softer grips could also help.

Tempting...

Wow. Just, wow.

Small chance?... Looks pretty wet to me!

Tomm's black and white one? This one? It's all about making it a bit different! My Zoot forks also cracked at the Magura mounts...

The internal diameter of the hosing is different meaning that viscosity has a greater effect for the braided tubing. As said above, plastic hosing (braided crossover doesn't really hurt performance but is much stronger) and a water bleed gives the best overall performance in my mind. I've only ever used pure tap water and have never had a problem in around 8 years.

You missed the [/sarcasm]

Depends on the spec but I'd hazard a guess that the standard ones were around 11.5kg or so.

Good one out by Whiteford near Inverurie. Also a good one Just South of Peterhead. Rocks on Aberdeen sea front too.

What's wrong with that?! It was because when I had the Monty as well it had 158 cranks so I wanted it to be as easy ass possible to switch between bikes. I've been using 158/160's for years now... Doesn't seem to hold me back.

18:13 for me but that's with 160 cranks. Really ought to get longer cranks now I've got rid of the Monty but it's just what I'm used to now. With my current cranks there's no way I'd go to 18:12- 13 is pretty much perfect for me. Plenty of power there but still light enough for trialsy stuff.

Good call. Regardless of who's 'in power', I really wish we'd use the French ethos when it comes to pathetic EU matters... agree in principal then just ignore it and carry on before. We seem to be really stupid at blindly following dumb legislations which do nothing but make our lives more annoying and awkward.

I feel a song coming on... The pedal's connected to the... crank arm. The crank arm's connected to the... BB. The BB threads in to the BB shell... Ok I'm bored now. Best bet is to have a scan through a site like TartyBikes and if anything jumps out as an unknown have a look and sus out where it goes. Otherwise, post up and specific questions on here and we'll be happy to help.

Initially from Vanishing Point and subsequently by Axle Rose in 'Breakdown'.

Unfortunately there are far too few representatives to actually vote for... It's only if you're lucky enough to havea OMRLP candidate that you can give them the chance!

To be honest I imagine taxes will be going up regardless who gets in. Maybe the Tories were the only ones who are actually willing to admit it?... I can't stand that thing Brown does with his mouth so would never vote for him/Labour. Good reason, no? I've actually been fairly impressed with the Lib Dem dude (what little I've seen of him). I know it's almost impossible for them to get in but it would be interesting if they did!

You'll either need to upload the images to something like imageshack or photobucket and then use the 'Insert Image' button when you post to link to the pictures or you can attach them using the Attachments section down the bottom of the posting screen. Does that make any sense to anyone?

That's not good parenting in my book. In fact I'd call it bad parenting and asking for trouble.

Oooh, oooh, I know this one! Is it... option 1?

I'm pretty certain the thread wasn't pulled because Tom went weak at the knees and got all sensitive... The average age on here is something like 15 but there are some younger members down to 10-12 I guess (I'm 28 so going by the maths there must be some 2 year olds as well... that's how it works isn't it?). They really ought not to be exposed to that sort of stuff. They'd only be a google search away from finding some very gross and in some places truly sick things which to be honest nobody ought to be exposed to! A lot of those sorts of things also have pretty innocent sounding names too so the search is likely to bring up something rather unexpected. As with anything these days, the mods and admin on here have a certain 'duty of care' to protect the users and forum itself from things that could damage either. In that respect there was no way that discussion could continue in my mind.

Agreed. That thread was doomed for closure, especially on a forum frequented mainly by teenage boys.

I've now had mine for two and a half years and there's not a single sign of trouble. Ash Kennard slammed the downtube into a sharp brick wall when it was a few days old and even that hasn't caused any long term issues... thankfully for Ash's face.
