  1. Say you can only get one full revolution of your cranks, up hill in mud and leaves due to no space for long run ups etc, or even less than a full revolution. Doing it straight would be a absolute arse since you put so much power down on the last kick your likely just want to spin out where as a tap you just try and get your speed (its hard to explain its just a lot more of a fluid motion), hit the front and it converts the forward momentum to upwards. Basically.. its useful in so many situations where pedalling constantly is a must and you need explosiveness with minimal speed. On street its just means you can get higher with less effort, but on natural i feel its more to do with everything i said above. Correct me if im wrong, which im sure someone will be glad to do (Y)
  2. In some ways i think uni may even be easier to cheat the system with, definintely at first year unsure about other years. But lecturers are damn lazy when it comes to the exams ( its not like they want to be sat with you there for an extra year re-taking if they can help it) so id say about 80% of a paper has the same questions in as year before but with different values. Then the last 20% is some newer stuff to seperate the good people from the amazing. Theres absolutely no reason to shit it over your gcse's A levels are more important at the end of the day so as long as you make it to college or 6th form you've done good enough.
  3. Just saw them on the news, seemed a tad smug with theirselves. One of them was ginger .. god knows how she got any.
  4. Learn to pass exams: You require - 1 pencil 1 rubber 1 calculator as many past exam papers as you can possibly find for each subject, along with their corresponding text books. Sit and do an exam paper at a time or half a paper at a time. Do each question checking your answers if you get it right move on, if not write notes on it then re try and carry on after that. Works for me EVERYTIME. Its not the hours.. its the exam papers. Dont even time yourself
  5. dude like halfway through for me it says the file is corrupted not sure if this is the same for everyone else? maybe something to check.
  6. Search for sheldon brown on google ... although.. i had to actually get the link for the monkeys with dicks for hands so ill give it to you too: http://www.sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html Look in the faq for tartys whole guide to calculating the length for spokes, also on tarty bikes at the BOTTOM of the page there is a spoke chart which will give you the correct lengths if you have the rim and hub listed there. Correct spokes are IMPERATIVE if you want a round wheel that you can actually lace and true and ride on. Whats 10£ for spokes? f**k all.. and it means you wont come winging after your first ride.. something along these lines "my wheel broke it was a good build.. yada.. yada yada... bit of tar... blag" sorry.. i love being a willy >_< Edited: Gut Red Ef Oil Muh Tweckzt Twork
  7. ............ did you read what i posted? its not like you need a PHD in bloody wheel building, a monkey with dicks for hands could build one. Clearly if your wheel crushes on a drop your an un smooth f**ker anyway.
  8. Why dont you build your own wheels? then you know yourself its a good wheel build if you sit there for 3 hours doing it (rough estimate on your first build ever time). Its not hard... have faith in your self and save some money.
  9. mine has them and they aren't stress marks (of course i cant prove this without a pic), but on mine its where the aluminium has been welded and caused the stringy/creased stress mark like looks due to the heat.

  17. get on mess.be they have every version on list there.
  18. i dont mind the look of the forks at all, id rather have something looking big and beefy than lil flimsy pashley fork style ( yes i know they are steel etc but just on looks) things. All in all probably the only mod i like the overall looks and design of. (Y)
  19. i didnt know that mousewheel shortcut but damnnnn its great! No idea why peoples keep crashing i can honestly say its never crashed on me, hence why its taken over from explorer totally.
  20. i missed out! :( Fecking group screwed up the heating calculations for our engineering design project. Our so called low energy eco friendly building over heats to 58 degrees so spent all afternoon re-educating people. Hopefully get something sorted soon though sounds like everyone got their selves fixed up with a diagnosis/exercises.
  21. another roadie! there are literally billions of them around on a sunday morning you'll have no trouble getting sorted with that. You can keep your bike in your room also if you become part of the cycling society which gets a big :( :(
  22. there is a water based astro turf pitch, which is literally as it says astro turf.. with water so it doesnt burn. theres also a rubber crumb pitch... which is like synthetic grass stuff, sept non plastic and you can use football boots etc on it. Infact i dont get how it works but it does. i havent found it claustrophobic one bit being in halls.
  23. Walking to lectures so far ive seen, england rugby team, england men and womens cricket teams and womens england hockey team. Its mental.... love the place
  24. get it re sprayed, but a very dark blue.
