  1. Be safer to take the spokes out incase you go through the rim quicker than you expect and managle a lot of them. My friend did this however he used a 20mm holesaw I think.
  2. I have the Zoo's, very nice forks indeed. Hella strong and do not flex Cannot go wrong, although they are a little pricey.
  3. Isnt CS3 and all Adobe CS3 products still beta?
  4. I would not touch that rim with a drill. The 2005 models were weak I found, I destroyed one in 3 weeks. Dented in 3 hours of having it. A mate of mine snapped one completely.
  5. It is all opinion based even when someone lays solid facts on the table its up to your mind to decide what you want to belibve. I am torn on whether to believe it all or not, it is believable but then again you have to think "is shit bull or not"?
  6. If you watch the video you will see what Smo is saying instead of trying to argue without watching it. Everyone has seen both sides if you follow the news, there was a huge investigation into how the metal buckled and this is also included in the video IF YOU WATCHED IT. Its another one of those conspiracy things, it all depends on what you want to believe. In a way it is contradicting itself as it does mention something about everyone believing what is fed to them on the tv, well this is a film and its doing exactly the same just trying to make people believe the opposite of what is on tv. If that makes sense. The third one is how some very clever people created panic in america till a lot of banks went bust, after they won independance from the English Empire as they did not like the central bank idea. They held some meeting and created what is still in place today, a central bank where by the bank loans money to the government with interest instantly thus creating a perminent debt. They then re-call it all and then lend it back out etc, everytime causing more debt. Eventually this led to the wall street crash in 1929. If you watch it all it does kinda make sense, I studied this in history so already half knew what was going on.
  7. I have just noticed, where are parts 4 and 5 ? When you watch it you would understand. Its so the government can scare you and thus agree to what it wants to do, go into iraq and so on so forth as the banks make lots of money from this. Need to watch the whole thing really.
  8. I thought Inur was english from reading his posts before lol. BACK TO TOPIC Those are some damn good videos, I always thought religion was a bit funny and I personally believe the theory of evolution. The 9/11 one was most interesting when I first heard the rumors that it was an inside job I thought it was bull but after watching that its quite understandable. There is a lot of information hidden about some stuff in the world. Just about to watch the third whilst eating lunch, then off riding like we should be, not sat on here:P
  9. BT advertise it as "up to 8mb". Basically the further away from their exchange you live, the slower your connection is as it degrades over a phone line. Unlucky is all I have to say. NTL or Virgin as it is now use fibre optic cables, as the signal does not degrade anywhere near as much and thus you get more constant speeds.
  10. So were going for the suprise sex approach Aye will find out in a few days lads could be an amusing drunked post on friday. Of course we will be in the same bed, its not right otherwise
  11. Met a girl who is a friend of my best mate. She lives a good 30 mins away and comes down to see my mate nearly every day. The past 2 weeks she has come out with me down to my local, even further than my mates house, seen my wasted and dropped me home twice. This week she even met my parents and family (I do not normally let people do this as they are all crazy) She keeps texting me things such as "I do not think you could handle me" refering to naughty things btw after I text her, and so on. The other day she said she was not ready for more than friends but then came out again tonight. She has also said she wil come out next week and even stay over my house. Do I try to go for more or just be best mates with her?
  12. Great video and fantastic riding, however I am not a fan of people who ride to get sponsored. I have to ask do you ride because you enjoy it or do you ride to be sponsored? I personally ride for fun and if I get sponsored, which I highly doubt, then its just a bonus. Either way nice video, although could have done with maybe another hook to show you can do it on more than 1 obstacle.
  13. Not being funny how do you go about egtting a skip, as it needs to be upside down ideally.
  14. If someone will send me a dead cow on a lorry I will pay for the delivery Nice idea but I think I might upste some little kiddies.
  15. I have found a cheap car for sale in a town near me on ebay for £0.01 at the moment, no reserve on a 1983 escort lol, should not cost too much. I will try a building contractors I know someone who might be able to help there. Keep the ideas coming I am liking them so far.
  16. Hey, I have been asked by a local bike shop to ride a demo outside their new shop. Doesnt need to be huge or anything but any ideas on what objects I could get hold of cheaply or free, to ride on that are safe. Does anyone know how you go about asking for a skip to be upside down? Also where would I be able to get blue pallets? I have tried asking at work but they cannot let me due to the small amount we get in (small waitrose branch). What would/have you managed to get hold of. I have 2 weeks to arrange it all. Cheers Nick
  17. All you will hear is that they are amazingly strong. I shall now say it. They are amazingly strong. I will also add you will not be dissapointed with them so go buy. I run them front and rear on 26". Have a pleasent day.
  18. I would reccomend getting a HD axle if you get a King, as the fun bolts are way better. However get the pro 2, there is no advantage having a king over a hope now, the new pro 2 hubs are every bit as good if not better. As someone said, they are also English
  19. I am finding the red echo pads pretty good. £10 from tarty bikes at the bikeshow. Deffinate bargin. They have a really gay squeek but other than that they lock really well and hold well too. I would say try the coustsink pads, they will be my next ones .
  20. I am running a normal cog, it has not dug in that much. Would reccomend a wider based one though will prolong the life of your freehub.
  21. If you have both the BBs in view, take off the non drive side cup and see if they bearings are the same. If they are I would say yes, if not I would say try it anyway. There should be a number on the bearing seal
  22. I believe damon watson killed on in three hours. The 2006 models had a slight fault and some cracked near the drive ring however this has been strengthened for the 2007 models. They are absolutly amazing hubs, I have not had mine skip once, I have owned a King and I would not say that I would go back to a King the Pro 2 is just so good. It engages really solidly and doesnt feel sponey when putting a lot of power down.
  23. Thats what I have done already but they seem to be coming up short Got all the trailing spokes in, then the non disc leading spokes and the 258s on disc seem to be short.
  24. Hey I have built many a wheel but I am having a complete mind blank, got 260 and 258 for a front disc wheel. Want to check its 260 for the disc and 258 for the non disc sides?
  25. I would say use many programs. I use: Spybot search and destroy Spyware Sweeper Windows Defender a-Squared Free Adaware Some programs will find stuff that the others wont, use more than 1 to be as clean as possible.
