That's half the fun though! Changing from a 3x to a 2x and 1x or radial setup purely because the spoke lengths weren't quite right!

Likewise. Try it first and if you need longer spokes get them.

Or get a 125 (or bigger) supermoto and have some fun!

What the f**k are you thinking?... On another note, I looked into the Cycle 2 Work scheme before getting my Ribble but because of the way they now work the system and how the final value system works now it just didn't seem worth the hassle. I ended up just getting the RIbble on 10 months interest free instead of fannying around with the C2W thing. Edit: Found something maybe a bit more becoming: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3-wheel-battery-electric-tricycle-for-cargo-/281188113549?pt=UK_Motorcycles&hash=item41781e1c8d You might want to add handlebar streamers to finish off the look but it's almost there.

3:41... just wtf?! Very impressive as ever- you look so comfortable doing it all, as has been said you area a brave dude! Fully committed all the way.

Yeah, I know what you mean and can understand Gilles' annoyance but seeing as he admits that he knew they were in a bad financial place for a long time surely he's guilty of not jumping the sinking ship... Just take a look at Koxx’s financial results in 2012 and before : the company was loosing a lot of money. And even with this bad financial situation, you kepts on scamming people. That doesn't sound like a company it's a good idea to continue to be involved with. Don't know where I'm leading with any of this just playing Devil's Advocate.

Ah fair enough, you could be right.

Absolutely but I would write a strong but formal letter indicating that I'd sought legal advice and would be seeking remuneration and compensation either from him personally or from the firm dealing with the liquidation. Particularly if I was going to put it online I'd be careful to keep it professional. Comments like "All of this really make me believe that the end of Koxx WAS PLANNED !" make him sound like Dave Anscombe is all. As an aside to this, how come prize money is paid to the sponsor and not the athlete? That seems a bit odd to me? Are they not given one of those giant comedy cheques on the day to take down the bank?

Same here.

Which is fair enough but there's being professional about it putting the point across while maintaining dignity and there's whining like a school girl!

Only just got round to reading Gilles' letter and to be fair he sounds a bit like a whiney school girl to me, though part of that is probably in the translation and edit. Having said that it was obvious that Dom isn't a total fool and would fold Koxx in order to start Koxx^2 (or hashtagg) afresh. It's what failing businesses do the world over...

Ah fair enough. Don't think I can help with anything at Soton Uni but off the top of my head have you looked into Roke Manor Research/Chemring Countermeasures? Assuming that's not where you've been for the past 9 years!

The way ours works is that if you've made overpayments you can then underpay to us up that 'credit' and also take payment breaks (not sure if those are linked to overpayments or whether you just pay a little more when you start paying again) but definitely worth investigating what they can do to help. Good luck with finding work too. What is it you do/have done?

Have you made any overpayments on the mortgage up until now? Any option to take a 'payment holiday'? If it were me I'd arrange to see my mortgage provider and explain the situation. It's not in their interests to let you default so will hopefully be helpful.

Which makes the Sting and Mini Master what?...

My dad swears by them up in Scotland but then they get it far worse than down here. Having said that I did read the other day that some are expecting November to be the worst winter weather in years...

You can expect a call from RBR any day now I'm sure. How does it work? I'd have thought there'd be loads of people with exactly the same 'setup' who would all be on equal points but apparently not.

I know what happened I just don't know why. Lots of jokes spring to mind about women drivers but just seemed like a weird incident for a supposedly very skilled motor racing driver to be involved in without a mechanical fault causing it.

That's awesome, I must say it looked like you did a bloody good job of it and would've definitely expected it to do something useful. Although I've done the tunnel testing on this sort of stuff I've never actually used anything on the road to feel the real world effect at certain speeds. It's all well and good knowing that at 100mph something will reduce front lift by 100 Newtons but I don't really know what real world effect that would have on the track in terms of feel.

Did you notice a reduction of front lift/less understeer at speed with the splitter?

I got a pair of Halfords advanced roof racks new on eBay for £50. They're identical to the Thule ones minus the branding. Also swapped the lock barrels so that the same key locks them to the roof rails (never used) and the same key unlocks each of the downtube clamps. Definitely worth doing if you go for a pair!

Odd story gets stranger... I never really heard what happened with her accident.

Be careful with overheating. In unducted cooling systems you obviously need a way of allowing hot air to exit the engine bay so if you fully seal everything up it can of course cause problems. Watch out for the fire risk too!!

So... TrialsAdd Ict acting all growned up?
