PAH! I was the one who explained it to mike, I know perfectly well how to do it :S . I told people how to do it nearly a year ago but no one too any notice. :(
-

-

I got 8 I got the baseball one wrong (I didnt have a clue) the pill one wrong I also got the moses one wrong (silly me) oh and the divide 30 one ( maths was never my strong point) I was chuffed I got the butcher one right and the birthday one

arrgh, I am never using keda tryes again, They slipped on me and nealy caused a broken thumb (2 hours in casualty to find out its just strained). My friends with koxx tryes was gripping like a leach. Its not fair, I wanted to be the first person to try this tubless on the forum :ermm: but things like wheels still need doing and tyres need getting....ohwell. I would either choose a maxxis single ply, or if you want a bigger tyre try the schwalbe big betty gooey gluey (un prooven grip though)

to get extra security of tyre fold, pour more latex on the bead of the tyre when its on the rim and inflated, that realy helps to create a strong flexible bond. I did it on a wheel of mine and inflated it to 10psi (after properly seating it) and no matter how hard I tryed, I couldnt get any air to escape when pushing the sidewall off the rim. I also wacked the wheel against a corner still at 10psi and it just wouldnt puncture! I put big dents in the wheel trying :blink: You can seal drilled rims (even drilled sidewalls). You just do as mike was saying about using the 12" tubes to seal 20" bikes, well you get a 20" tube, stretch it over your rim and slit it down the middle. Spread the tube over the sidewall of the rim and clean it. Then put your tyre on whith the tube still stretched over the rim and seal it with the latex. When its all sealed, cut off the remaining tube flush with the tyre. That seals everything from holes in the rim and I think creates extra ressistance to folding.

I think family guy is my fave, its just so random and funny. I agree with Raub about the simpsons, they seem like they are running out of ideas and just making up a "story" during a lunch break. I also really likes the Incredibles, I dont know what it was about it, but I loved it, that comes in 2nd for me. 3rd...........difficult........I think Ren & Stimpy do it for me, although sometimes the show is just plain creepy!
-
find a website with a mock test and use your cd lots, its piss when yo get to it.
-
go look onn the notubes web site and learn new wonderful things.
-
its possiblt to fit any size tyres if you know how. the latex seals by the air forcing it out, heating it which solidifies it.
-
any people to thank regarding this Mike? :)" (Y) I told people it works, no one believed me, well I have the last laugh now mmmmwwwahahahahaha
-
you learn somthing new every day (Y)

cheers guys, I have ordered some lovery music for my bro (and me (Y) ) to listen too.
-
I am after some indi (individual) music to get my brother for his birthday, He really likes bands like Snow Patrol and Belle & sebastian. Does anyone know of any lesser known bands that are like these? Also maybe a place to buy them too. Cheers Al

I am sure it rides nice, but I do think its an ugly bike, maybe its just the forks and stem though? Any reason for using a gripshift instead of a thumb or roady shifter? It would look neater and be lighter and more out of the way. I just think it looks kinda messy. I love the disk mount though, looks neat as hell. But I aint a fan of cable brakes for the rear.
-
I find stock soooooooo much more satisfying than mod. Mods feel too easy and almost.....well, cheating. You might not be able to go as big on a stock (debatable) but the feeling you get riding them is far batter than mod, its difficult to explain but thats how I feel Stocks dont look as silly too :(
-
I just aint impressed with the tread pattern of the creepy, the blocks are too close together and block in mud. would be awesome for rocks and dry conditions though
-
I have heard rumours that there will be a 26" virsion, although I would still probably prefer to run a high roller or minion
-
I used to snap ordinary chains quite often on a 22-19 set up. I was worried about using a 16-14 set up due to the snappage issues, but when I got the smaller set up, I also got a kool chain and its been the least hassle of any drive chain I have used.
-
I have used the azonic x frame pedals, they where super, GREAT grip, real stiff and plenty light. BUT I snapped off one of the corners when my brake slipped on a gap. If it wasnt for the strength, I would still be running them.

I was searching google images for pussies (Y) and this pic came up, I thought it was rather funny. Below it is a description of the pic.

yaay, I am missing my comps. I love back cowm, its my local (Y) see y'all there

I am flattered that my name has made an appearence but I think it has no place in this topic. I have to say I think Akkers is the best rider at the mo, he may not be world champ, but he can ride any kind of trials, he kicks ass at street and natural and amazes me with what he can do.

I am soooooo close to doing a 8 and a half foot gap near my house, I land on it but my weights too far back and I have to jump off. I recken I can do about 7 ft 11 most times

aaaarrgggghh!! this is really pissing me off now! I have got the target thing into my head (it still wont let me do that untill I have done this next bit below) but I just cant do the DevMode.lua replacment thing :o I have copied the DevMode.lua file, but I am having trouble finding the main directory, I think I have found it, but I aint sure if its the right one (I pressed "find target" and it led my to a file just called far cry) If I click on that once and press ctrl+v it just puts the copied file in the overall folder. If I double click on the far cry file, it will just open the game. Is the name "directory" just the main game file? I would put screen shots, but its on my nice fancy computer upstairs.
