Azonic double walls, frog maguras and Hope Ti-glides, Tioga tyres and some D521's, perhaps some old RS7's with a rock ring instead, and I believe you'll be there.

Yes, you do.

I've just not sen that kind of... um, pose, in a trials video before. But this is a new era.

Yeah, the plastic cup needs to go in, as that can hang over the axle so you can't put on a crankarm, get that plastic cup in! The bike shop tool would probably have been made of steel, and your BB, some alloy; BB would probably break first anyway.

Quality typo. This shot clenches it. I wondered why it was so long, then I realised a fair amount of it was dedicated to you putting your bike in your garage... in slow motion. Nice riding though for a year and a half's worth.

Doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with the BB other than you rounding off the edges. And that would pretty much make it unusable unless you make some funky home made non-IS fitting. It just needs to go in tight, it's meant to be tight as it has to be completely still in the shell, think of it like fitting a pressed headset but with thread, thats how tight it should be.

Hold up, is it fixed? If so, take off the lockring (if it has one) by hitting the notches with a screwdriver and hammer setup CLOCKWISE (or a tool). The lockring has a reverse thread on it. Then, get a chainwhip, or an old chain and some old cranks with a ring on it, wrap the chain around the cog and turn it anticlockwise. It should be tight, really tight, so keep going.

A typical lomography camera is made of plastic, and is cheap so it has no seals, a plastic lens, fixed focus. Generally badly put together. Then they charge a million zillion pounds for it.

A hammer and screwdriver will snap that plastic cup like, well plastic getting hit with a hammer. And no, no Landan town for me.

Yep, don't put it in very far, just enough so the inside of the BB touches it a little to guide it in.

Axle looks ok to me? That plastic cup is hard to get in anyway, but you'll need a BB tool if you don't have one.

I didn't realise Jonny Depp was like 45. I thought he was maybe 30 max.

Unlikely, but a bent axle? Loose bearing cups meaning the axle can move freely inside the body? Sounds strange, can you get pictures?

Yeah but everything has a meaning. To be a good photographer, to me, you need to be someone who can take a great photo and not to have had to think about it. Just seen something and made it happen. Meaning comes after, when you look at it, and you realise what it means to you, and everyone has their own take on what it means, photos tend not to have one universal meaning. If a photo doesn't evoke something to me, it's not a good photo, no matter how bright or incorrect the colours are, or how much of the frame vignetted edges take up. People who just shoot lomo or polaroid tend to be people who rely on it to make something look good in my opinion, as opposed to relying on having a good subject.

Full stops, jeeees! I don't really understand, owing to the way the text just flows there, like a sea, roaring along, small children swimming happily, enjoying themselves... Do you mean the whole cup is angled? Or just the axle? Have you accidentally rethreaded the BB shell at an angle? Is it a new BB?

They don't answer the phone do they, I think they just leave it off the hook as I guess the only people who phone are people who have problems with their order. I called a few times yesterday to track what has happened to an order and used the 'ringback' feature if you press 5, and it didn't ring back then. Maybe they only exist in the internet, as 1's and 0's.

Radial lacing is like that, but the main point of radial is that none of the spokes cross over eachother, so when the spokes come from the flanges they are at a right angle to both the hub and rim, straight up.

I have a Chrome bag for when I commute, you can get them on CRC half price at the moment. Really comfortable and huge space. Weatherproof to t'extreme too.

In my humble opinion, Lomography is a gimmick and something I see as a way of 'cheating' something into looking visually appealing. The whole x-processed thing with light leak, I dunno, to me it's too easy. If I can tell it's an effect that has produced an image to look a certain way, I end up generally disliking it because I find it hard to get past the thing thats drawn me in is nothing more than a filter, and does nothing to enhance the meaning of the picture.

And I'm in! Thanks Tom, the nocolour one was it!

I'm pretty sure the majority of games that come out, come out on Macs too, it's just a case of looking for it. After having used a PC for the past eight or so years, I was relieved to get a Mac and realise what I was missing out on... But still, aren't there a lot of topics that just turn into a Mac/PC debate, pretty much anything to do with Apple in a topic and the debate begins...

Alright pinky? Hows it going...? Yeah Matt Staples does/did something to do with trees, I believe...

I don't really get how people can be complaining about the new iPod, I mean what is there to complain about? If you were being forced to buy one then sure, complaining is fair, but what is the benefit of complaining about something which is just a piece of technology. How can you complain about an advance in technology? Even if you bought one, you wouldn't be forced to watch videos on it, you could still nuse it soley as an MP3 player if you wanted, but know that the functionality is there whenever you wanted. As far as I read, I think the new iPod is smaller than the old one, has an increased battery life AND plays videos, yet somehow it is worse than its predecessors? It has a colour screen, so it may as well play videos anyway. I think it's quite fairly priced, at the end of the day yeah this probably could have been created in the G1 stage, but Apple is a business, and they have something like 4% of the computer market in comparison to PC's, so the iPod is being taken slowly I guess to raise awareness about Apple. At the end of the day, the design is excellent, ease of use is awesome, integration with iTunes is great, literally plug it in and it's all there for you to use, and it's new 20 hour battery life competes with many other MP3 players on the market...
