Thanks guys, I had a feeling that converting would be the only way, I have tried a few clips, converting them with the software that came with the camera, but it seams to have raped the quality I may try and get the program that you mentioned Alex. Thanks Adam

Um, can not see how that will make any difference to how premiere pro will read the files....... Adam

Hey Guys I got a Sony HDD video camera for christmas, I have taken the clips from the camera, just dragging them off like you would if it were a memory stick, When i try to drag them into adobe premier pro CS3 it doesn't like it, it says that it does not support the mpg files that the camera creates.... what is it that i need to do to get it to work, other than having to take the time to convert the files using another program?? Thanks Adam

Happy Christmas Guys!! Just chilling out after my BBQ, its been 28degrees today, had to go swimming to deal with the heat!! Adam

Keep an eye out for a new rockman frame, 26inch and similar geo to the old echo pure (1060, +10, 72deg, 385mm) it may also be available with Vee mounts!! Adam

I have a hOle rim, and i have found it very good, seems to be as stiff as a std koxx rim due to the spokes being offset, and it seems very good strength wise, I have put a small flat spot in mine, but then again i am 19 - 20st!! Adam

Sorry for the huger delay in replying to your question Ross, I have been running the CNC blues for abit now and they are awsome, on par with the TNN LGM's, deffinatly! Adam

It has been done, a few guys tried it in the US, there are pictures somewhere.... Adam

The Zoo frame should be pretty good, as for the other parts you have suggested the only ones that I would suggest to avoid woiuld be the echo brakes, I have known alot to leak. The new freewheels are very good! As for cranks, the tensiles have abit of a tendancy to snap, if you want to save abit of cash go for the trialtech forged, if not, the Rockman or try-all cranks are a pretty safe bet...... Adam

That stuff looks pretty swish, the forks don't ave a carbon steerer though, it is just a sticker, you can just see the overlap in one of the pics, they will have done it for the effect so you see the carbon when you look through the headtube. Adam

I am not sure what the clearance will be like Simon, but i think you would get one with it fairly well! Also you will be saving alot of money going for a stinger over some other expensive frames, so getting an 18t setup should not be too bad, i would go for a TNN bash setup, much nicer than the heatsink ones..... Adam

Cool vid dude, watched it last night. Adam

I used to run DX32's front and rear, 22mm holes in the rear and 25mm in the front and they lasted very well, I still run a dx32 on the front now, but it has been singlewalled and has large square holes Adam

Pretty impressive, But i am sure that i have seen a guy front flipping a bmx down a set of stairs!! Adam

I think the new neon forks that Ali C was running looked pretty good, good weight too Have a ganders on Tartybikes. Adam

Hey guys, here is my new Kortz green, After speaking to Rockman we thought it would be a good idea to have a fresh frame to take on my travels, as I am heading to New Zealand for 6 months on the 10th of october!! Pics: Spec: Rockman Kortz Green Frame Rockman Spade forks Cane Creek S3 headset (in its 6th frame!!) Tarty Forged stem, 25 x 125mm Rockman Handlebars Chris King classic rear built to Try-all hOle rim with alu nipples Conti Rain king tyre, maxxis ultra light tube Front rockman non disc hub, custom milled DX32, DT revolution spokes and Alu nipples Maxxis high roller 2.1 ST and ultra light tube Rockarm Cranks with 18t trialtech sprocket and modded atomz bash Magura HS33 front and rear, 4 finger leaver blades, custom splitter on rear, 2 bolt RB booster, CNC rock blues rear and TNN LGM's front Welgo MG1 pedals and titanium axles. I have to say I prefer the green to the orange...... I do not know the weight yet, but i will find out soon, I would guess at around 9.4 - 9.5kg Adam

Looks like you used some of the ideas that I helped with Steve..... They look good..... Adam

Will be interested to see what the CNC maggy backings look like Steve..... Adam

Read the Thread, its just a scratch...... Bike is looking good Kevin! Adam

The fork length is the length of the fork from the axle to the crown of the fork, and the rake is the distance that the axle is positioned forwards from the vertical line of the steerer tube. Hope that helps Adam

Hey Peoples Soon i will be heading to New Zealand to work for 6 months, i want to take a laptop out with me, what can people recomend for around £400, which still has reasonably good spec and would cope with running things like adobe premier CS3, want to stick with 15inch screen size due to it beaing a nice size for carrying about etc, i have looked at this: Laptop 1 and this (sam as previous with slight upgrades) Laptop 2 or another option is to go for something like this: Laptop 3 Only thing with option 3 is that it has vista, no i do not like vista, what would be the implications with dell if i were to remove vista and install xp? Also, idealy i want to have a firewire port or 2 in the laptop, now i know that not many come with this as standard, but i have seen cardbus type II adapters that just slot in, which would give me the firewire ports i require, now do these fit all laptops or do only a few come with the neccesary cardbus 2 ports? Any other advice would be helpfull, including good, cheap spacious laptop backpacks Thanks Adam

I very much doubt it is an aluminium bolt, no stems come with them as standard, i expect it is just a coloured steel bolt, like has been said, tap a large torx key into it and you should be able to take it out Adam

I have to say that I completely agree with that Ben has said, you don't have to be the best rider ever, but if you are friendly, approchable have good knowledge of trials etc it can be more of a benefit to the company than if you are an amazing rider who doesn't know anything! Adam

I should be there around 11.30ish, not sure where I am going to park yet, but I will work something out Adam

Happy Birthday Matey!! Adam
