  1. Hey, Thanks for the heads up.. I do know luke, we ride together in Colchester when I'm not in Brighton. Luke is actually the main inspiration for this project as I do find it amazing how well he riders despite having no specialised equipment etc. Dont let him know though because he can be a real bighead! Keep the replies coming.. I knew trials forum would guarantee quick replies! Oli
  2. Hi all, I've not been on this forum for years, hasn't changed a bit though! I'm half way through my product design degree major project and I'm developing a dual control lever for hydraulic brakes that helps people with limb deficiencies and grip problems get into competitive cycling whether its trials, XC or whatever else. Follow my project at http://www.productdesignforums.com/index.p...amp;#entry64674 What I'd really like from you guys if you have a few spare minutes is just to register your interest first of all. Also I need a collection of images of unusual brake lever set ups and positions. These have to include the angle you have your brake levers in profile (from the side) and if you could, a brief description of why you look your brakes set up the way they are (angle, distance from grips, how far you like to pul the lever before the brakes lock etc.) Any feedback or input you provide will be a great help and if I use your comments or pictures in my project you will be fully credited! (for those less aware.. that doesn't mean that I'll be giving you any money ) Thanks so much Oli p.s. moderators if this isn't appropriate for this forum then please remove it but please also notify me that you have done so I can try for participants elsewhere.
  3. aaaaaayyyyyylo So I'm driving down tomorrow.. yes I know its a bank holiday and probbly a shite idea but i strongly believe trains suck. Anyways do any of the norwich residentees know of a good place to park that wont cost me my life savings... someone said something about riverside but I have no idea what that means? hit back tonight if ye can. ta muchly oli x
  4. uhuh ja I shall be there except I dont see why my 'classic' middle name has to be broadcast over the expanses of the forum dave! I'm actually having to rebuild my bike its been that long since I've ridden.. I make it about 11.75 months... jeez this sundays gonna be a laugh and a half. lookin forward to seein everyone and killing my shins see you there. woli x
  5. why not just ride anyways? MET office isnt always right. oli
  6. hey if this is still happening ill try and join up. Gotta meet with the rents as theyre taking a load of my stuff home but i can ride while theyre not here... would be cool to ride with real people again let me know oli
  7. Hey man .. Jeez I havnt posted here for about 3 years. I'm at uni in Brighton until around the 5th of July and I'm trying to get back into riding after the fitness levels have got rich and gone abroad! Do you .. or do you know of anyone that rides a lot in Brighton or, my personal favourite, the ace rocks in portslade?? Just need something to do over the next month. Charz .. oli
  8. im sure eveyone can hook sideways these days but thats the first time ive seen it! nice one chai! u still short? woli x
  9. Jeez I wish I still rode properly... and with my old street biatch That vid was an ace refreshment from all this flippin sidehop crap. All you pecks should remember what trials in the street used to be all those years ago and how creative and stoopid it was.. those were the days Well done guys.. still doin the good stuff. oli
  10. yeh i have. most websites said that this should solve most of the problems but no such luck. I have a buddy at home whos a massive pc geekazoid so i'll impose my tower on him. oli
  11. of course... but someone else is looking after them. by ending explorer then restarting it solves the problem.. i guess ill just have to get used to this as part of turning on the computer each day. thanks for all yur help guys... sorry i got a bit stressy... valentines woman troubles. oli
  12. true... either that or we have a computer that doesnt come with am XP CD. I remember now why i stopped using this forum, a lot of you have all the answers to your own problems but not many for other peoples. I cant backup 160GB... i cant afford removable drives etc. and if I plain formatted the drive id lose over £10,000 worth of software.
  13. so as well as the aforementioned 100%usage crapness with my CPU... i thought.. fcuk it, im going to do a system recovery(ie reformatting).. that'll kill the b*****d. but every time i go to do it, it gets to the screen where you choose destructive format or the other kind and then restarts itself?? any ideas... i seriously need my computer working within the next week as theres a lot of cad and photoshop to be done. oli
  14. charz matey ill have a look. I have no idea how this happened.. i dont look at porn or go on any other dodgy sites with this computer.. one day i loaded proEngineer2 macromedia studio mx and 3ds max and the next day there were problems... but its not those programs.. maybe something that downloaded to one of them? oli
  15. yeh i run McAfee and spybot/spysweeper i disabled a few registry functions as a first step... didnt work ... googled all the bad programs running and killed them ... didnt work.... got truesword.... worked but reappears every time i restart the pc. oli
  16. thanks so far but ive done everything already... i know that the crapper is somewhere within explore.exe and is a different program every time i have to remove it. spyware removal programs dont do anything. oli
  17. hey hey my computer was being an arse and running slow as a crow so i checked out the process tree and it came up with 100% CPU time utilisation..... i got a program called true sword which took about 3 hours to get rid of the problem but when i restarted my pc the next day the problem was back now every day its the same anyone know exactly why this happens so i can get it to f**k off? and please dont say 'you've probably got spyware' because i think thats pretty obvious cheers oli
  18. hey does anyone know of a free converter that isnt a free trial and works properly ... havnt found a combination of the 2 yet. its surreal watching a videos on such a little thing. awesome oli

Ive had mine for about 1 1/2 months and its time to change methinks.. so i got to unscrew it and ... its stuck super tight .. ive tried heating it up, using pliers, drying my mouth out to get better grip .. any ideas ?? oli
  21. yeh great ... a pop-up every 3 seconds helpful when tryin to play a game
  22. the reason dogs and cats eyes glow slightly in the dark is because they have a kind of nightvision ... their eyes utilise every bit of available light around ( can even use moonlight ) and concentrate it on the very small area of vision that we all have. done oli
  23. hey as i posted ( late ) every weekend last year im gonna be riding portslade rocks ( near brighton ) pretty much every sunday ( effort to keep fit ) anyone fancy coming tomorrow ... it'll be me and dave ( plainlazy84 ) ??? oli
  24. id agree with that for the best ever ( im not a geeky RPG player or anything ) but my worst ever would have to be final fantasy 10 ... i just wanted to kill myself. oli
