  1. Go for a Thomson Elite X4, get them in 31.8, 130mm, 10 degree. BB Wise, Truvative Gigapipe DH every time. Can get those in 128mm.
  2. Phil, they definately have changed mate - as previously said, the older ones were noticabley higher rise. I know, I've owned both (and want the older ones back!).
  3. Oh Lord! Some damn good stuff going down there, thanks for sharing!
  4. Your white balance am broked. Spot looks decent though.
  5. I'm tempted - want to go down to look at a lens... We'll see.
  6. Yeah, I played this for ages a while back. Got onto level 9 quite often, and was sooo close to getting onto 10 once. I love levels 8 & 9, when it proper zig-zags! Should probably be in the BotI thread...

    Snow!

    Woop, just had my 1st experience doing some extreme drifting/hand brake turns in carparks. Fun!
  8. Easiest way: Open Internet Explorer (not firefox..) type in: ftp://tv.isg.si Log in Paste your video into the folder Done. Edit: 1 minute reply, high five.
  9. If you wanna try out remote flash, without spending too much money, then get a set of these. They're not bad, and work well at short distances, just not great once you get more than a couple of metres away (certainly not at higher speeds). Another option is to run a remote camera flash cord, such as this one, you'll maintain full ETTL exposure with that and your flash. This'll be great if you don't need it much further than a few feet away (such as holding it with one hand, or on a flash bracket). If you wanna go full whack, then get a set of Pocket Wizards, I got some a little while ago, and they're excellent. Fire up to 1600 feet, and can be used to trigger remote flash(es) or your camera(s) remotely. They're not cheap (cheapest is £240 a set), but they're damn good - allowing me to get shots like this: Where I was a fair distance away from the rider. Hope this helps. Mike. (P.s. If you're after the set I linked you to originally, I've got a set for sale which I don't plan on using. They'd be £18 from eBay (Hong Kong), would do 'em for £13 posted. ) Edit: Oh yeah, of course the easiest (although probably most unreliable) way, is if you're using a flash with a light trigger, then you can position it away, and use the pop-up flash to set off the remote one. This is okish if it's dark and you're fairly close to it, but in daylight and at slightly longer distances, it's gonna fail!
  10. Cheers. Yeah, unfortunately the main welder at Pashley was drunk that morning. Their chief colour-coordinater is colour blind too. Pm'ed you Re. desktops, matt. Mike.
  11. http://michaelsingleton.co.uk/Bristol27.html Mike.
  12. Correct, he is a fanny. I would reccomend the Peleng or the Zenitar, depending how fish you want. Maybe you're better off starting with the 16mm Zenitar, bit cheaper too. Wideangle lens under £300 is easy, sigma 10-20mm. Macro lens? Not a clue for Nikon! Head over to fredmiranda.com and photography-on-the.net aswell as eBay to get some 2nd hand stuff, I've decided to scrap buying stuff new.
  13. So they're £150 with all the echo shizwack, (pads, mounts, lever). So will we be able to buy them for £82 and use our existing pads, mounts, and '05 lever blades if we have them? I'm sure people (including myself) don't want to be paying an extra ~£70 for stuff I don't plan on using.
  14. Is that Samwize's old frame? My graphics they were.
  15. Pfft, lazy b*****d - didn't even bother with the spokes! Haha, nah good work man.
  16. Dreams are totally related to what you've been doing, or thinking about. Eg, last night I was riding, and didn't have a belt on me - needed one, and I've also been spending too much lately. I just remembered last night I dreamed I went into a shop to buy a belt, and then they wouldn't accept solo, so I took out £40, but the cash machine gave me hundreds. Was ace!

  18. No, Michael Singleton is Michael Singleton's name. :wink2: Nah, I've not received it yet - come to think of it, they've not even got my address... Their choice if they decided to "tear it to peices", I thought it was justified. Still, free teeshirt.
