haha, i actually deleted a few ess-hops for adrian, but kept a few. cheers for the comments lads!

Smooooooooooooooooooth. The lines in the video is the two fields of the video separating. You can cure these by deinterlacing the video, but that would decrease the quality of the (in frame) still things. Example: If you're panning with the rider, you'll see that the rider is seen with great clarity, but the background getting all liney. To be hoenst though, I'd rather have some interlace lines than crappy resolution, and your video had wicked res. Riding was smooth and nice aswell, nice toned-down editing and riding, but still some beasty stuff. Cool with some death cab too.

tartytrikes are spot on for international shipping.

coust on the v2 proto heatsink backings. the ones i made a year ago. grind is a few months old, ground before i went to england over easter.

I've had the joy of experiencing them on my trips... They're horrible!

***! I don't understand the two separate taps you have in britain. I understand that they're easier to maintain, but how awkward aren't they?!

yeah it was the same as johan did in karnon.

mark is such a looker on that photo. good pictures michael.

Yeah you do.

tasty moose.

I've met him. Ohhhh he's gooooooooooooorgeous!

Bunnyhopping is all about brute force. I could bunnyhop my coust with 120x5 stem, no stackers. And I was 5'7" or something. It's all about giving it some beans. Also, try and pop the back wheel up an inch before pulling the front wheel up (just like when learning backhops, but with speed), it does wonders. Looks retarded though.

the 35mm coust pads are shite. 50mm rules! get them from coust direct to save about 30000 quid per pair.

Yeah, the trick is to either wash the face before taking them out, or forming a pool of lense fluid thingy in your hand and dipping the eye in, all to make them moisture up a bit and let go easier. The washing of face before is very clever, because it cleans your hands too!

Well, there are lenses made for sleeping in, so you can wear them non-stop. I have been using monthly ones since July last year I think. It only takes about 2 minutes a day to clean, fit and remove, so it's not THAT big of a deal, is it? The thing with contacts is that after a while, they harden from all the muck that has touched them, and all the crap that's been on your eye. You do tend to see clearer in a fresh pair than a month old one. The max wearing time seems to me only be the time you can wear them without raping your eyes. I've got fairly dry eyes, but still wear mine 14-15 hours, every day. My eyes do tend to go a bit dry in the evening, and might be a bit red some times, but hey, I'm wearing mine for 5 hours over recommended time.. I think a problemw with sleeping in contacts is the urge to rub your eyes. I know that I LOVE rubbing my eyes in the morning, and if you did that with contacts in, bye bye contacts. They'll fall out if you're not lucky. A few minutes of fiddling a day is definitely worth it for me. And considering that I spend more time fixing my bike than dealing with the contacts, I'd say it's not too bad at all!

i think the homo-eroticism increased with dave's pube post and the ben slinger and danny butler shower stories.

caustic stained my king aswell biggus, you're not alone. mine's pewter though, so it just looks muddy..

what's up with the colour of the King? shoddy spray paint or caustic soda accident?

awwwwwww charel.. i do my best. :$

You can just guide the tap into the old threads, so you're effectively just taking the paint off.. Doesn't exactly remove much material. If any at all, depending on how sharp the tool in the Ashton factory is, compared to the sharpness of the BB tool of the local shop.

The most logical solution is to find a bike shop with a BB thread tap, and clean the threads out with it.

just saw it, oh my god i was in stitches. quaint my ride, lol. good stuff.

I rounded my bolts off when fitting some lock-on grips a few months or maybe a year ago. Today was the time to change the grips, and not surprising, the allen key just spun around in the bolt. The best way to remove these bolts is NOT trying to cut them in half or cut a groove for a screw driver, because the bolts are tiny. I'm pretty sure the bolts have a stupid UN thread, and not a metric one. Should be 1/8", but not 100%, I'm crap with inches. Anyway, what I did was grab a T15 torx key, and with the help of a small hammer, tap it into the head of the bolt. The T15 fits like a glove, and with a bit of caution the bolts came out no problems, and were replaced with fresh ones. if you're ghetto you can just put them back and tighten up the same way, but I wouldn't. I stretched a bit and got new ones off CRC, because I couldn't find that small bolts over here.. Bolts... Expensive!

yay for floyd roses, rickenbackers, jazz boxes and 70's jap lawsuit guitars.. I'm in the process of finding myself a nice tele/mustang/jag at the mo.. hunting for guitars is hard.
