Not worth starting a new thread so dug this one up. Just noticed that in the new pricing structure with GG if you buy a £10 Goodybag you get 1GB of data for which tethering is allowed (with a cost of 2p/MB if you run out in the Goodybag period) and for the £12 Goodybag you get unlimited data but tethering isn't allowed. Makes sense but worth bearing in mind.

You're probably right! See that was one of the reasons I thought he was partially sighted not fully blind. I've seen blind people's eyes and as you say, they tend to kind of wander and since they can't see anything never pick up on anything specific but in the program at the end he basically looked at the guy behind the camera then at the camera like probably you or I would.

I refuse to believe he was actually properly blind. The kit could only tell him when he was passing objects like trees: there's no way of it telling him where the trail was going at ground level. Neat but done for the cameras I think.

[sucks air through teeth] Tomm's a doctor (a real doctor not a fake doctor like me) who knows his shit.

Horrid, horrid 'sport' (is it a sport or a game or just a way to avoid the wife while wasting masses of land while acting and looking like a knob?) .

Poor, poor effort.

Tom McMillan was running some that he got from a while back I think... not sure how he got on with them though.

I'm slightly concerned that Google are successfully creating a new fanboy base on a par with Apple. This saddens me. I like Google, I like Android, I hate Apple and I don't want to hate Google because they become the new Apple...

No, but seriously, strain, sprain, trapped nerve, early onset arthritis... has it been knocked in the past day or so? I'm just guessing by the way.

That's awesome! Brother in law is thinking about buying an old tractor to do up... have forwarded that video to him!

Come on, give them a break. I'm sure the forks were all tight and secure... just on backwards.

I don't think that scratches the surface of what they sponsor but interesting to see.

Hmm...

Haven't tried it myself but a guy on a supermoto forum used have Biz (?) on his powder coated frame and reckons it's the mutts nuts.

Still sounds crap and pointless to me.

So all that happens is you have to tap your screen ~60 billiion times to get to the end? Sounds like a great way to file a repetitive strain lawsuit against the company to me... Just watched a bit of that vid- christ this seems pointless.

Thanks for that... Glad the Cytech qualifications are serving the world well. [/sarcasm]

THECIRCUS WAS MY HERO. I MISS HIM.

In all my years riding all kinds of bikes, I have never had an issue using just a new chain, chainrings or cassette in a setup. I can't help feeling hat although there's a small amount of truth in some cases that mostly it's bullshit spouted by bike shops to make more money.

Quite a succinct display of the changes: http://www.90-one.com/testchange.html

You're right to a degree and of course there will be exceptions but I bet the majority of people taking their bike to a LBS to get a puncture repaired are just lazy numpties who should be able to do it but don't. To be honest I avoid LBSs like the plague since they tend to not have a bloody clue about anything and simply go through the motions. I think the last time I was forced into a LBS it was because my chain had snapped on my XC bike on the way back from dropping my car at a garage (read hadn't bothered to bring any tools or owt with me) and the guy wouldn't lend me a chain tool, ended up selling me a new chain and tried to tell me that really if I have a new chain I ought to change the cassette and chainrings too. f**k. Off. In my experience that seems to be the way of things. Obviously not the case in 'proper' shops or specialist places but for you average LBS bang on.

To be fair, anyone who takes a bike to a bike shop to get a puncture fixed deserves to be fleeced.

That may be the case for some but I don't really think it can be applied to Ryan... at least not in the extreme/dangerous side of things. He's been doing the same stuff since I started riding in the late 90's!

But that's only valid until January, right? Then everything changes again I thought...
