Still like mine better Oh yeah and g-e-a-r-s...? What are they then?

Did that really need a new thread Ash?! Calculators aren't that difficult to use

Oh go on then. You're a bike whore! Edit: Really nice Ads, still silly light and just looks totally dialled. Loving the Hermance quote too!!

I'd be very surprised if it was 'snaped' in the post... Ever tried 'snaping' a frame by just throwing it around in a box? Me neither but I bet it's hard. Edit: Note that I've had far more problems than most with Royal Fail and Parcel Farce and really can't stand them (except for Rowan of course, clearly the best postie in the world). However, in this case I'd be surprised if it was anything to do with them.

What is Y.T.F.N.?

Wicked riding as ever Nick, and vid had a really nice chilled feel to it. I really need to get to Koxx days somewhen don't I?!

Anybody get any footage of the compulsary Paris street ride? From what I understand, in the Worlds it tends to be the other way round- Monty riders get let off with everything and anyone else has the rule book thrown at them... They couldn't have a Monty on the podium of Koxx days, now could they?!

Damn, that's some jump between 4th and 5th! And I take it Kenny would've been 3rd if Benito had been given that 5 in the vids (or was that just during the quali's?).

Boys. Got. Skills.

Wouldn't have thought that setup would cause a problem... Definitely use the spacer if you're using a 73 BB in a 68 frame, otherwise even if you cure the freewheel rub you could end up hitting brake cylinders with your cranks. Shouldn't make any difference to your current problem though.

Was just gonna say: lathe = win.

What freewheel and bash are you using? I know certain setups, like GU bash with an ENO doesn't work without grinding the centre of the bashguard down a bit (I've also had to take a bit off the freewheel tabs too). Wouldn't matter what size BB shell/BB you use, some setups just don't work without modification.

Surely the crushing thing is for mini moto's causing a nuisance?

No, just saying that your post made virtually no sense. Peace out.

Awesome post. Just awesome. If I was you I'd write to the Chief Constable (or whoever) of the force who issued the NIP and explain what happened. Make a point that you're a motorcyclist and know how dangerous people are on the roads and that you've always worn your belt and certainly was on the day in question. If they don't back down just pay the fine (rather than bother with court etc- I take it points aren't involved) but if you can instill reasonable doubt in their minds they might just let you off. Oh yeah, and Bongo- where's this pic of the rats nest?!

Yeah.

They run old school steel axles and cup and cone bearings. Ok if you look after them but I upgraded to a sealed one pretty soon after getting my Pr.

Because all PCSO's have a total grasp of every minor point in British law... The only way to know for sure would be if you found the exact wording of the law in question. I was under the impression the wheel size law does exist, but to protect little kiddies on pink Barbie bikes from having to ride on the roads. I expect, though, that there is a statement in there somewhere indicating that this is not the case above a certain age.

Now say it like you mean it

It wasn't the only one- the mods were really on it this morning!

Unlucky I jest, I jest. Sponsored by TartyBikes, got sponsored because I've been riding for over 10 years and have got to a reasonable level, plus I'm kinda known for being a general nice chap (I think...) and try to give the sport a good name whenever I ride, either on the street or in comps. Basically never take myself or riding too seriously which means I don't really have any kind of 'attitude'. That's my take on it anyway!

Cheers, my plan was to go for something resembling this:

Ah, gotcha. I thought you were talking about the vid. Sorry :$

Umm... they didn't. Ok, I was wrong
