  1. Then I better not whinge when I break it
  2. That could well be the case. Which kinda proves my point...
  3. Lightweight cranks in "broken when ridden hard" shocker. This is the point I keep trying to make, riders need to choose products that suit their riding rather than buying the fanciest looking or lightest. This is the only way we'll end up with a reliable choice of components, because manufacturers will only keep making the light stuff if that's all that sells.
  4. Glad you enjoyed it! As you said, things like that will come with more time in the car. It takes ages to get fully comfortable with it. Seeing as though a Mk1 MX5 race car is a good 'barometer' for lap time (hey George ), they lap Knockhill around 1:05 with about 130-135bhp on cheap road tyres. Lap record for us is a mid 1:03.
  5. A familiar story... people are idiots...
  6. ... Apart from having to drive a 1.4 diesel Fiesta.
  7. Something light with 11,750 revs available 4 wheels though, of course! It's a good base but needs work...
  8. Bit of a long shot, but just in case anyone is interested... http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/115346-well-developed-flexible-reliable-and-fast-c20xe-seiw-for-sale-%C2%A313k/
  9. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/bills/article-1633409/Historic-inflation-calculator-value-money-changed-1900.html So an ET24 would be about £425 in today's money. I think that makes the Inspired look fecking cheap!
  10. Didn't know you could do that - cheers.
  11. Paedo! Yeah, WiFi enabled is just for the remote or mobile / tablet app to control the camera with.
  12. Unfortunately you will need the owner's WiFi password to use the WiFi functionality of the camera, and even then the camera can't upload / backup to the web from this The only thing I could think of would be to walk up and down the beach asking if anyone has left a GoPro - the way to tell it's theirs is that they will be able to connect to it from their phone / tablet and control it.
  13. That is f**king random
  14. I think a poor / old / corroded crimp / connection will increase resistance which reduces data transfer rate? I'm not sure, but that's my guesstimation... And no probs, just fire us an email at work, PMs are turned off
  15. Defo worth a shot! Have a tool and some spare ends here if you want them posting down...
  16. Plan. Weird, never heard of that before...
  17. Custom forge tooling for head tube vs turned bit of ally tube. Custom forge tooling for BB yoke vs no BB yoke. Custom forge tooling for dropouts vs off the shelf dropouts. Custom tooling to bend the chain and seat stays vs Unsure, but unlikely to go to anything like the level of detail Inspired do. Butted tubing vs plain tubing. Multiple process finishing method (the red frame is actually prepped and sprayed in gold, then has red lacquer added, then the graphics, then clear lacquer) vs basic black paint. The Inspired frame probably costs double (or more) to produce when you factor in a 'cost per item' on the tooling... Oh, and what JD said.

    Hubs

    And a no needle bearing under the freehub - the important bit! (Pro2 has a steel freehub body)
  19. The Fourplay is absolutely nothing like an ET frame in terms of construction. Yes, in essence it's a few tubes holding together a head tube, dropouts and a bb shell but if you can't see / appreciate the differences then stick with the cheaper frames The Arcade bars might feel weird to you, that's fine (I agree!), don't buy them, but loads of others do love them
  20. I haven't... not the sort of job I'm inclined to do. Would swap it for one from a breaker or get the gaffer tape out
  21. I didn't win your undying love
  22. Porsche 911 964 model was released in 1974? Something to do with Porsches anyway...
  23. Price should be similar to other current carbon forks, weight is stated on the Echo site as: Weight: 518g for 20'', 582g for 26''.

    Hubs

    If we have some, they'll be on the site. That's fair enough, but you'll spend more on an inferior item, we're trying to save you money!
