As anal says that is simply common sense. The way any religion tells you how to live your life is nothing more than differentiating between good and bad, right and wrong. 'Don't kill anyone.' Really? Not even one? Ok. 'Don't rape anyone.' Aww, come on, where's the fun in that?! 'Don't eat seafood.' Now you're just getting ridiculous. Religion tries to provide guidance for people in life and attempts to provide some kind of reason to be good (the promise of a happy afterlife sitting on a cloud). In essence those things should only be needed if you're weak, stupid or just plain ignorant. Anyone else already knows what's right and wrong and tend to live their life accordingly without any religious beliefs. As I've said before, Ben, please don't take any of these comments to heart- it's simply that you're the sensible person who always speaks sense and tries to see the problem from all directions and so I always end up replying to your posts!

Ah, now wait a second. Taking your car analagy... My use of the crusades as an example isn't like you going out and deliberately causing a pile up in your car. The crusades are like if Ford Motor Company got all of it's employees to each take one of their cars and instructed them to cause a pile up, drive into a que at a bus stop or just go and crash into the first Vauxhall car they found but enduring that the occupant was killed, all in the name of Ford. Now we can all see that's completely moronic but that's pretty much what the crusades came down to- the moronic murder of anyone who disagreed with the Church and refused their version of God. That alone makes me angry enough to want to tell anyone in the street spouting christian crap to f**k off. The (extremist) Muslims are still blowing each other (and anyone else they can get angry at) apart in the name of Alah. f**king morons. I know religion is just an excuse to be shit to each other but I can't help feeling that it really doesn't help matters. My problem with religion (apart from the fact the basis of it is all a pile of turd which should never be considered as even remotely based in real life) is that over the centuries it has been used "as a means of populace control, war, profit, etc". If a load of deluded people find comfort in the fairy stories they believe then fine but I'll still consider them naive, weak and probably feel sorry for them.

Well it makes more sense than killing thousands upon thousands of pagan Slavs, Jews, Russian and Greek Orthodox Christians, Mongols, Cathars, Hussites, Waldensians, Old Prussians, and political enemies of the popes in religiously-sanctioned military campaigns doesn't it? Oh, wait... that happened didn't it? Ah well, so long as it was all in the name of God that makes it alright I guess. Go Christians!

+1. Awesome thread. Awesome.

Cranks have got to be Coda's for true old skoolness. IRC tires too. Oh and one of those triple colour flite saddles... but then most of that stuff was what he used on his original red Beast of the East's. *Drool*

Unfortunately so...

Just saw this on the BBC site and thought of this thread. Shame the Earth was created 7000 years ago 'cos these little guys can't possibly have existed. Poor little guys.

No.

Considering it's a forum populated by almost entirely by teenage boys I'd hazard a guess that that's fairly accurate.

They're Primo Powerbites I think.

No it wouldn't be.

The wheelbase is the wheelbase. Whatever fork your running, wherever your wheel is sitting in the dropouts, measure from the axle centre to axle centre and that's the wheelbase. Magic! As has been said, what you're describing is something completely different and more like 'frame length' but then you can get that from chainstay length and reach I guess to some extent...

Maybe because that wouldn't be the wheelbase? How does the bar angle affect the wheelbase anyway?

Didn't deserve a new thread but Rob Ridge is pure awesomeness. Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">

I was incredibly unimpressed by number one. I'd never even heard of her or her 'channel' so that was just meh. Quite glad that 'Ouch Charlie' shite wasn't in there though.

OMG I've met him!! Edit: Christ that guitar kid's good...

You must be doing something wrong 'cos I run mine on a smooth rim most of the time: Awesome. And also on a dead grind for doing comps on: Awesome.

Build it and they will come. I would've killed for a proper Ashton replica back in the day. I'd have sold my own gran for a set of Coda cranks...

You thieving b*****d! That shit's just not on. It's like the Adam Hilton thread all over again. Give Ben his boat back!!

Yeah that's just you being a cock though . I didn't do Pass Plus but from what I've heard it does sound reasonable. To pass the driving test all you ever do is learn to pass the test and no more. That doesn't necessarily make you a good driver and in some cases I think it teaches bad things. Pass Plus takes the basic driving ability and teaches you to apply some forward thinking and logic to the driving process and so improves the way you think about driving.

Who the f**k are you to ask him who he is to call him a criminal?

Weren't, weren't, WEREN'T!!

What hub is it? If it's fixed (steel sprocket threaded onto the body itself with a freewheel on the cranks) you're pretty much screwed(!) and the only real option is to buy a new hub.

Is the f**ktard on the forum? And I mean this Adam chap not Lazenby. While you (he) were (was) trying to cause a car crash and get run over? Acting like little chavvy f**ks to be fair. Man is trials in the UK going downhill these days .
