I always thought it was kinda like skate/snowboarding where right foot forward (like me) is less common and therefore 'goofy' and left foot is more common and so 'regular'. Maybe not though.

More mutation, forced or otherwise, rather than evolution I'd say. Seemed to come oout of nowhere is all.

I assume you've got everything that's on his Bebo and Facebook.

That's the Southend on Sea post office apparently. Is that anywhere near you? If I were you I'd give it a couple of days (the tracking on Royal Mail is often delayed (except on Special Delivery stuff I think)) and if nothing happens give that post office a ring and see what the score is. If all else fails, shout at Rowan.

It doesn't need to be massively tight in the vice as it just needs to stop the sprocket rotating so shouldn't damage the hub at all .

Standard mod gearing is 18:12 so I'm not surprised you're finding the 16 too easy! Get the 12 on there and you'll be amazed at the difference it makes. Might take some getting used to but stick with it and it'll help your riding no end.

You must be doing something wrong then!! I run about 25-30psi probably with Tesco innertubes and don't puncture even doing 9' rolling gaps...

at the moto stuff at the end... Damn he's good. Still think Bou's better though!

Meh. I run reasonable pressures in them and only tend to get one pinch a month, if that... And that's with Tesco innertubes too!

Only way I get them off is to put the sprocket in a vice (if it's being chucked anyway you don't need to bother with the chain bit) and then just grab the outside of the tyre (much easier if you leave the tyre on for grip and some extra torque) and unscrew the wheel from the sprocket. It will probably be pretty well on there but it should go.

I run on the back when I do trials and they're really soft and grippy, never get punctures but weigh about the same as a small car. I've chopped every second side knob off it to reduce to the mass a bit. High Rollers can be bought in 2.7" width but I'd say they're a bit overkill. What sort of riding do you do? When not in 'comp-spec' I just run DMR Moto RT's- 2.4" rear and 2.2" front and really like them. Not the best puncture resistance but good for everything else.

I have to say that the creation story, i.e. the beginning of the bible, is one of the main reasons I could never take christianity seriously even from a young age. If it starts off with such a stupid blatantly false 'tall tale' I've never had even the slightest inkling to read any further because I know everything else from that point on is also just a work of fiction. I do agree with you that it's a comfort zone for anyone who doesn't want to think for themselves and is hence why I tend to consider religious people, probably wrongly, as rather naive and displaying a lack of intelligence. Rich always has had a way with words!!

Mmkay...

Haha, if you put it like that... However, I know that the chance of that happening is equal to me waking up tomorrow morning and finding that I can fly like Superman. I can't really take the concept seriously!

Considering that possibility is just impossible(!), not unlikely or improbable, just impossible, then the scientist would do more good by banging his head against a brick wall... I'd be loathed to investigate that. I'm confident that ain't gonna happen... ever. Believe in what you want if it makes you happy but pleeeeease don't even consider creationism to be anything other than a fairy tale!

Good for you . I'm glad not all Christian brain washing is successful and some people in your position are able to think about things for themselves rather than blindly following whatever they've been taught to believe. And as for the edit?

Sorry, not getting at you, just saw that as a challenge .

Yeah- bloody posties going on strike! Who do you think you are, eh? 'We're not doing it for the money'. Whatever! Just deliver the damn mail! ()

Edit to try to put an end to the dinosaurs and human footprints drivel: Love that final sentence .

Aweful news. Thoughts are with his friends and family. "Friends also paid tribute to Danny by posting internet videos of him doing stunts on a BMX bike in Inverness. In the videos, the teenager jumps on to and off walls and railings." Good ol' P&J...

No worries. Previous thread is here .

Repost. It's in the Videos section somewhere fairly recently. Absolutely incredible though!

Which is what I said? Your book doesn't take account for those 160 million years because the humans who wrote it weren't aware of their existence at the time. Even though they could make up some pretty impressive stories about floods and diseases etc. without the knowledge of dinosaur fossils etc. there was no way they could've dreamt them up. Ah well, just another scientific fact you guys have to ignore in order to believe... Did you really just say that? Sorry to piss on your bonfire but if that's the story you're going with, how come Noah didn't save two of every single species of dinosaur as well when the flood came? Oh wait, is it because Noah never existed? Or because there was no flood? Or maybe because the dinosaurs died off millions of years before a human ever evolved who could've even possibly made a boat in the event of a non-existent flood? Although if he had they would've just eaten all the other animals and Noah. Which would've meant that only the dinosaurs were left and humans would have to have evolved once again as science intended... When did you say this flood was? You may be on to something... I'm sorry but I really can't believe how stupid you're making yourself sound.

Quite obviously you don't know squat on the topic since anything you say against science and evolution has been shot down in an instant. The Zorse being an obvious example. That's a facepalm moment right there. Are you serious?! Your knowledge is that f**king book again isn't it? Sigh. Once again you clearly have no idea what carbon dating is, the science behind the dating (carbon or otherwise) or anything remotely logical because you're blinded by that f**king book. It's not a defense thing, it's an anger at the unbelievable stupidity and ignorance of those who believe in such utter drivel. As I've said before, religion is fine if you use it to to do good in your life or whatever but to believe the literal meaning of the stories is simply short sighted. . John MacKay quite clearly isn't a qualified scientist (well, maybe a sports scientist or something) if he's supporting creationism. Particularly if he uses excorcism as evidence. 1) You really haven't seen gods work first hand. All the miracles you've seen at christian camp? Yeah they certainly don't count. Funny that you've been exposed to several real life miracles when the rest of the 6.7 billion people on the planet have never seen anything. 2) You can't really see evolution first hand as such, correctly as you say, because it takes too long. However, there is so much proof that the Earth isn't 6000 years old I don't know where to begin. Actually, here's one obvious one; riddle me this Mr O'Connor... if the earth was created by god 6000 years ago, at what point in those 6000 years did dinosaurs appear, reign on the Earth for ~160 million years then die off to make way for mammals? I don't remember seeing them mentioned in the bible. Funny that. You'd think it might've mentioned that, wouldn't you?

Give Tarty a ring. If they exist they'll be able to get them.
