  1. Almost certain the hex would have to be on the inside.
  2. To be honest, I didn't read much by choice when I was a bit younger. We did read books in school though which seems to be a sadly alien concept these days... However, I have started to read a lot more, possibly starting when I read the first few Harry Potters (). I'm quite selective in what I read though, tending towards motorcycle travel books and the like. Also read the Phillip Pullman 'His Dark Materials' trilogy, Lee Child's 'Jack Reacher' novels and stuff like that. I'm definitely a book reading convert now though.
  3. Hehe, I can see the headlines in the NOTW now... Txttlk causes war, famine, obesity, islamic extremists, herpes... Inside: Peter and Katie enjoy snakepit sex sesh.
  4. Explains a lot . It's not really lazy though- they're actually typing an extra letter when they spell it wrong. Maybe we just have a high population of secret French speakers in our midst... I do use the Firefox spell checker thing quite a lot, if only to highlight typos.
  5. I want to like HEN products, I really do, but everything I've seen appears to have been poorly thought out and nothing special. As an example off the top of my head, and one of the first products that was 'released' in here, the headset which uses a caphead bolt sticking out of the topcap rather than being counterbored or using a countersunk bolt to make it look as it should. Really basic, easy to do things that they just don't seem to 'get'. The one thing they've done that looks right is the Magura TPA replacement but you can't really go wrong with that!! Edit: actually, I like the idea of the sprocket with integrated spanner flats but they don't seem to have made it to production. Also love the product masses correct to 6 decimal places, copied straight from the CAD package...
  6. That's not a trials bike though... is it the same frame as Phil's or is it something different?
  7. f**k me, I don't believe how many of you have never read a book or basically don't read books...
  8. And totally unnecessary on the front of a trials bike.
  9. Hey man, yeah that'd be me. Do all the Hampshire comps on a Monty 221Pr with orange rims.

  10. What everyone tends to be saying is do it properly. And as has been said before, it would probably be best to pay a good company good money to make an excellent site. Onza products have come on leaps and bounds in the past few years but (and I don't mean this in a nasty way or picking on anyone in particular) seem to have a bit of a problem putting themselves across as a professional, successful business. A good website could make all the difference to improving the company profile to allow a global business to emerge rather than a primarily UK based one. Think about it and make the company (and of course the website, which is the primary public image of the company) match the products. Just my 2p.
  11. I'm still struggling to find any redeeming features to the majority of the HEN products... And this one doesn't help.
  12. Remarkably poor attempt. As has been mentioned... genious.
  13. Unless you're proper 'ghetto' in which case anything goes...
  14. Dropouts from the Onza T-Rex parts bin?
  15. Man you've got issues!
  16. Overbuilt and over-heavy? And may I also say what a fantastic naming convention Hot Engineering Novelties are continuing.
  17. Please tell me you're logged in on some internet phone jobbie.
  18. If you'd all turn your attention to the top of the page...
  19. Says the guy who's unable to register that he's got caps lock on... Don't know what paint's got to do with it either.
  20. I'd have said more that because they aren't very good with numbers/writing they naturally lean towards the more hands on stuff at school, such as art...
  21. THAT'S PERCY YOU F*****G IDIOT... (I don't jest)
