    Bar & Stem

    long and low, ewww, not good for anything. Look at the Echo range of stems, they are pretty low and would do a great job of making your bike ride like shit
  2. well he can't do it 3 cross if he has spokes for 4 cross, having a wheel "too stiff for hard landings" is kinda false, a stiff wheel is awesome for everything, BMXs have used 4 cross builds as the accepted way of building wheels for years and their wheels cope fine with landing (most of the time anyway).

    Films!?

    watched "Girl with the dragon tattoo" t'other day. I didn't know they were from Norway. the film itself was pretty good, nothing like a good old murder mystery to entertain for an hour or so.
  4. not sure how you lace wheels, but if you do it the way of counting 3 holes to the left of the center for the first spoke, you'll need to count 4 holes for 4 cross
  5. bike looks cool, next step should deffo be a shorter stem though! Chris, why rout the chain under both cogs?
  6. looks eyeletted to me? Not that having eyelets or not actually matters. Does look a little odd having a wider rim on the rear, I would want to swap it to the front personally, get less tyre squirm when cornering and makes the tyre slightly bigger for (a tiny bit) more grip.
  7. I shouldn't like it I really shouldn't.....but I do
  8. I always found bite reduced with a booster, but hold increased. I would take less bite and more hold any day.
  9. I can confirm he is not just writing a long shopping list
  10. good luck tell the skate park users to wear helmets Everyone I have met in Blackpool seem pretty keen on it which is nice.
  11. if they are employed to build wheels and take 90 mins they are doing it wrong Wish I could charge £60 labour on the wheel builds I do! I could have retired by now lol
  12. pretty cool, nice to see he uses a decent rear tyre and not some super light balloon thing some people use.
  13. some awesome riding, looks like a great event, I really hope to go next year
  14. well I am not sure if I can tell about the exact geo, but you will be able to use fewer spacers and have the same relative hight from the pedals for sure. The amount of spacers on the production Sky wouldn't be far off.
  15. that frame does have a lower bb though, so you wouldn't need as many stackers.
  16. looking forward to Jack competing in the world cup!
  17. One for the car people here. I have a a Peugeot Expert van with remote central locking however one of the buttons on my key fob doesn't work. I want to replace the fob to get working remote locking but I don't know how this is done. Can I buy another Peugeot fob (not identical) and get it cut? How does the car recognise a new fob? Who cuts car keys and do you need a code or can they just copy it? I have had a quick search online but I couldn't find any specifics. I would apreciate any help you guys can give. Ali
  18. Cap eats a BigMac meal every time he rides Preston...fact!
  19. that was good, nice moves from cap, first time I have seen a wheel swap to lie-down. Matt has no bones as I have said before!
  20. I bought mine a couple of years ago second hand, so I don't know exactly how old it is. Could be tempted to give it a clean out, but I do use it a lot and would be gutted if I broke it. I do have time to kill though.

    Dreams...

    you're..errmm..doing it wrong
  22. I would rather plug in a cable for a couple of hours while playing than buy batteries. I like the blu ray player too. I don't like how loud my ps3 is though, the fan makes a right racket.
