Practicing sidehops is going to be fun with that massive disc! Looking good

Youtube even suggested the April 2009 vid after it had finished... Really enjoyed that vid actually.

FTR... the first time I watched a full episode was a few weeks ago because it was mentioned on the forum. And I often make up acronyms on the spot because I'm lazy. </excuses>

Anyone got a link to a video of thinkbikes etc on BGT? Would like to see that...

That was completely epic. Loved it. What camera?

I'm actually shocked that so many people think they should be compulsory. I almost always wear one though.

It looks like she had a pretty decent pair pre Photoshop...

The Echo SL levers are seriously nice though... really comfortable and the hose is right out the way. Ideally I'd have Magura slaves and an SL lever

I feel that any form of transport where the person is power source - bicycles, skateboards etc. shouldn't require helmets to be worn. I happen to be in the small percentage of the population that off the shelf helmets don't fit. I've been into 3 bike shops recently and could find only one helmet that got close to fitting me. So, last week, I placed a £500 order on CRC and bought 9 helmets in L/XL Half of them don't go on at all and the others are fairly painful. But I have found one that I'm reasonably happy with.... sadly it costs £75. The rest are going back. A compulsory helmet law would be a bit unfair on people like me...

The rear end looks like it's going to be pretty flexy

I like those fluid front to back things you do.... nice riding!

What's the performance like? Surely that's the main issue... What frame and booster are you running? (if at all) Really stiff setups make less noise.

Museo's being used a lot at the moment, so will probably look dated in a couple of years. But yeah, I like it! Edit: Museo slab was released recently http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/exljbris/museo-slab/

Riding it off is probably the best way to avoid major damage to the crank and taper. Just make sure you're not doing anything big or it'll hurt when it does come off. If you take a hammer to it you will definitely damage the crank, the BB or both.

To answer the original question, You basically need to use a VPN or a proxy to hide your IP properly, which essentially are the same thing. Both rely on having access to another computer somewhere in the world, which often requires money... Sure there's the Tor network, which is great, but it's all horrendously slow and using it for P2P is fairly cheeky when people in China are using it to access Google. VPNs are the most reliable way to securely tunnel ALL traffic through your ISP so that even they don't have a clue what's going on. You can rent VPN accounts for a monthly fee. The other way is to use a SOCKS or similar proxy. If you're technically inclined these are straightforward to setup. I connect to a SOCKS proxy running on my webserver when I'm uni to allow me to use blocked websites without being caught. Torrenting over a SOCKS proxy seems a bit hit and miss. Modern torrent clients also use UDP which isn't supported by SOCKS and is therefore sent unencrypted. I don't take the risk of torrenting at uni because they fine people who use P2P. But as a home user it would be an effective way to stop people catching you downloading things illegally.

It was broken long before the server issues. I only joined a few months ago but most of the times I've used it returned 0 results.

mod or stock?

Aren't brake clamp bolts M5?

Only 400px wide? You worried about us seeing it in too much detail?

It's been like this for ages. I nearly made a topic about it before the moment...

From my limited experience, woman whine 1000 times more often than I have problems with my car. But yes, ragging anything for ages does tend to do damage

It has to be watched in an IMAX for the full experience. I watched it the night it came out at the Printworks IMAX in Manchester and was blown away.

That night was also the beginning of the end for my freewheel, which has been getting steadily worse ever since. Off topic.... anyone tried the Rockman 72 Click?

What if your dream girl happens to own a nice car? Best of both worlds? The car is the safer bet... and you wouldn't miss it too much after the day was over. With the girl the next day would be depressing.
