    A stiffer what? Also i forgot the cousts pads, they rock my mates bike loads
  2. I think that threads like this are great, purely because SO many people remember him still and never forget him. Although when some silly kids start being insensitive, i don't expect anything else than the aggresive response, but still its nice to know hes was much respected by everyone here RIP DJ
  3. Krisboats, next time you post some pictures like that, please put a "Do not look if you are eating pizza" warning above it, prefereably a few line spaces above it, so that I have chance to avoid it Thanks...
  4. Does that mean you have to follow behind them and see how many dabs they do?
  5. Thats fair enough, Perhaps a mkii is in order then? But still, its the first trials frame (as far as I know) to offer lifetime warranty, thats got to hurt the companies finances slightly?
  6. how is this trials related may I ask?
  7. Obviosuly you're being sarcastic The best set up: Hydraulic rim brake : Magura HS33 bled with water + antifreeze with pads that work well with a ground rim As for pads, the top ones I would say are Plazzie CRM's, Heatsink blues and Koxx browns. I know for sure the CRM's And browns are beasty with a good harsh grind

    You should be able to observe the frame flexing if it is bad. Other than that I suggest as above a re-bleed, possibly with water? If none of that...possibly you have a rim made out of sponge?
  9. OK For those who dont know there is a robot you can add to msn: spleak@hotmail.com Its seriously funny some of the conversations so this thread is for your best
  10. I know it sounds lazy but I can only ride the bay because Ill be working in the middle of riding (from 1:30 - 4:30) so I'll leave my bike at work and follow on after Ill also ride before work too
  11. Emphasis post Surface area only alters how much grip you will have on the rail
  12. yeah it was probably megamo after monty. No chance of it being zoo or echo. Possibly onza? or Koxx Good question
  13. is "friendly argument" code for "cyber flirting" ? :lol: Had to be done Also testing
  14. Hurrah TS went down before I started biking more frequent but now!!! mwahahaha
  15. I got A in Product design resit B in German resit D in Business resit C in General studies
  16. 26" The circuference on a 26" isn't as "sharp" as a 20". Take it to the extreme, it would be a pieces of piece to rail gap with 100" wheels But as someone else said it mostly depends on the rider
  17. All right handed people have more control over their right hand. That means they can control front wheel moves more. Whereas why would you need to modulate the rear brake? for manuals?! Dont think so
  18. Hes really impressive, but I don't like the look on his face when he was doing some of the moves... kinda pervy
  19. Thats helped greatly thanks

    That 95% probably dont care that much? I know I don't, I know you're not having a go at me cos I haven't said anything about "how it feels just by looking at it" but still....

    Giro Hex

    I'd wear it, I don't think its that bad, but its not amazing
  22. For gcse I didn't have a choice, I had to do an educational toy. It was quite smart, Ill put some pictures up later. But I found the more rewarding choice was/is at AS Level/A Level AS Level By the way this is my exam board so yours may be different The whole course was split into two halves: The case study and the Product study Case Study "Within a given context examine a system which relates to the previous context. Explain how the system works within the wider business/facility/event etc." For that I research the drainage system at my local golf course (how fun...I don't even like golf). The case study is worthwhile because you have to go out and gain your own information, talk to the business owners etc. It builds your confidence a lot. Product Study "Analyse a product suitable to the candidate and suggest valid reasons for development" <-- That one was fun, I made trials cages for the VP pedals Thats probably the one you'd be interested in, cos you can do anything. At one point I was going to make a chain tool.... A Level This sort of reminds me, I should start doing some of this..... This year the whole year is spent developing 1 product. I've chosen a camping table for Duke of Edinburgh expeditions because I was always pissed off at eating of the floor (cos paper plates were too hot to handle) I've done a lot of research into materials, existing products, back-pack dimensions etc. Also this portfolio requires a lot of design work, something like 9 pages of A3 so you got to hope you're a good drawerer That doesn't include 3D modelling images either Then you get to make the product as a finished, working prototype. Heres some screenshots of my project hopefully: I reccomend choosing RM cos basically I found no other subjects useful + easy (to me that is). Also I know you probably wont see it this way, but it is very easy not to work and not achieve grades you want and believe me when you get to 6th form you wish you had worked that bit harder So yeah...do it!!
