  1. Hydroxx worked lovely
  2. im not a fan of the carbon fibre effect on the renderings, the weave is way too coarse or looks like it at least. Maybe it looks a bit bumpy too? i cant tell. Rest of it is bomber though. Youve got all the detail there nicely good effort Missed the bolts though
  3. A vending machine for stationary. That way, when Im in the library doing an all nighter and my pen runs out, I can simply go to the vending machine and get a pen, or a pencil etc. yeah you heard it here first....
  4. granted but there all of this: I wish I could eat as many burgers as I want for free
  5. Hmmm would be nice to see how long the seals between the pistons last... Its a great idea, but as mark said, a bit sketchy. 'Am i gna do this stoppie nice or faceplant...OHHH i faceplanted how fun'

    "Is it ok if I start to touch up the 12year old boy sat next to me, even though im 59?" this still going?
  11. ahh that was me being sarcastic, evidentally didnt work I can see the point of frames absorbing impact and deforming, but I think I rather that be material based rather than frame design The vast majority of frames these days are made to a nice high standard. so that flex is minimal. Unfortunatly, if your material is brittle, the material has no elastic region in the deformation process. IE if you stress it beyond a yield stress, it will just snap, and not stretch. A good example of this is dry wood. The way Im seeing this, is that if the frame is made out of aluminium, which is a bit more brittle than steel, its more likely to snap because it has a shorter elastic region and thus a lower elastic limit before it snaps. Taking it to the extreme, if you had a rubber frame and gave it flex, would it snap? Of course not because rubber is highly elastic. Overall, dont get me wrong, I still think aluminium is the best idea for frames. Im just saying its not perfect If anyone doesnt understand please say, ill happily try clarify again.
  12. Id say 300 easy. Mostly because of the hubs + cranks
  13. yeah kinda need the spec here before we can quote...
  14. Vote Ben Rowlands most eloquent member of trials forum
  15. haha I hate having stiff frames. I love frame flex. Why do you think brake booster's exist? Plus steel is more malleable than aluminium anyway so it'll bend before snapping clean in half
  16. matts a common trials forum goer, hes taking the piss. i think
  17. thats why god (tomturd) invented chitchat
  18. blue striped as stripes are apparently slimming....
  19. Don't the FreerideTrials club is going strongly todaynot. Yes insurance is the bitch, and it costs alot for your first time running it! You may have to charge around £20 for your first comp just to cover insurance and land which is insane! Then you need the actual permission of the land owner, which can be free, or costly. Once thats sorted your laughing We got a council grant to do our events insurance. And indeed they did the paperwork too which was handy considering the majority of us were under 17. I suggest get that south walian government to do either a demo or a competition at your next big event, get the to pay for insurance and land and then when they're impressed, they'll probs help out more
  20. This is my old one: http://www.coolermaster.com/product.php?product_id=5888 Ive managed to find a replacement which has the right connectors, the only thing Im worried about is this bit: "Compliance with the newest Intel standard ATX 12V V 2.3" my replacement supports v 2.03 . How do I find out if I need version 2.3? Is it the motherboard or the processor?
  21. Brill thanks. I meant leads as in the ones which go from the PSU to the wall but no worries. cheers
  22. Hi guys My PC just stopped working, and after a bit of lead checking, I found out quite visually that my power supply is (now) blown up. Done the whole fuses, plug sockets + cables check and its definitly the supply. Im trying to sort out warranty and all that atm but if it goes tits up (had it less than 12 months), Ill need to buy new Now when I got the case, it had a power supply in it to save less hassle. My friend sorted that out for me as im not too sure on the whole thing and didn't want to break anything, but anyway My question is can I replace it with a slightly bigger wattage supply? Do I need to look for anything else in terms of fitting? number of wires? Ive got a quad core processor and an ATI radeon 4850 gfx card so i cant be stingy with the supply I know that much. But if I go a little higher is that gna be too much? The reason I ask is because I cant find my EXACT same supply anywhere and its 550W... Cheers in advance
  23. yeah im thinking once craigs released a video on it, everyone will want one, just like the python, no one knew how they rode until they bit the bullet and bought one. As I recall, an incarnation of the python had an insane wheelbase length, and barge like stays, yet people still bought them? Also makes me lol how people can dispute a tape measure at the onza factory, over their own eye sight I think lookks wise its ok. Not stunning, but not ugly either. It does have a lot of similarities I guess to current frames but again so did the python/zip/24seven holroyd etc etc Proof is in the pudding I say!
