Profile's aren't light. They're not uber heavy, but they aren't as light as a FFW set-up. I've only had to tighten my Eno properly once, so I don't get how it's "Tighteing freewheels loads" or whatever Joe said. If he's strugglnig to afford an Eno, how is he going to spend the £200 it costs to Profile up your bike? Alright, it's £155 for the hub (or so), but then there's £20 for the spokes & build, then another £20 for the fixed sprocket, etc. I wouldn't really say the Profile was 3x better than the Eno, which the price tag would suggest. Anyhoo, I'd just go for the Eno, really. Mine hasn't skipped in a good long while, and even when it did I only knew 'cos of the bang. It just engages again straight away because of the 3-pawl system, it's just pretty beefy really. As for the "Trouser munching", if you like use your shoelaces to keep your trou' under control (or just make sure they're not hanging down by the freewheel too much), it's usually OK. My BMX tore the shit out of my trousers too, and that's not got front freewheel either. In fact, almost every bike I've had has, at some stage, had a go... I don't know how it's a "Smoother ride" either Joe?

My T-Pro cracked, so I got a new one. Felt totally different... Just didn't feel the same as the other one. Could be I guess 'cos later on into the frame's life when it was weakened/cracked it might've had more 'give' in it or something, or it could just be we're all well fussy :) Had to send that T-Pro frame back 'cos of a BB shell problem though, and I'm apparently having a T-Lite Long replacement frame. I'm guessing this one will feel different ot the Pro for a real reason :huh: Mark

Auto-Mod Please use the bike pic thread, all the info you need is in the first post.

Yeah, that is actually the bond holding your forks together. Scary, huh? :S If it looks sketchy, beware. It's really not worth landing a drop to face :turned:

That sidehop gap to two wheels on the back of the bench: Holy. Poop. Better than the first vid, fo' sure. I actually liked the music this time too :turned: He really needs to get a full vid on the go/people need to get over the whole "But he's got different sponsors, so producing Archive would make it all FUBAR" biz...

How the f**k does that make them facists? They might just not like it? Although if you're doing it to try and get a negative reaction so you can blanket label people as facists, more power to you...

Hipocrisy, anyone? Arguements are good, make people thinkg differently about stuff. I've learnt a lot from arguements on here just 'cos oyu see if from another perspective. I don't really find riding "Fun", as such. the actual riding element is satisfying, more htan anythihng, but it's the company that makes it "fun". Mark

Fair enough. I don't look at every thread, so make like Man On A Mission and PM the shit out of me if you think I've over-looked something...

Ah, I see. Methinks:
-
Sure would, but think of the work Danny and Tom would have to do on top of the usual (Y)

If only I'd gotten Benito Ros' e-mail address when Koxx put it up... Unless it's still there? *heads to koxx.fr (Y)*
-
I'm guessing what he was getting at is that he thinks I'm a twat :S
-
Go argue with the Spanish about how they spell "Hola" then (Y) It's not pronounced "Holler" in the "Down with the kids" street style, it's got a silent "H".
-
He did, I believe? Had a crack around seat-tube or something, so had to cut the affected area out to send back.

Solution: Chug 'em down. Eating method of Gods :S

I measured it before, and I think the measurements were something like 15mm/2mm for body/extractor bosses on the Claw, then 16mm/1mm for the Eno, just for reference (Y) I can't imagine grinding the tabs off though on a £70 freewheel :S Gonna make it a fanny to take off, meaning if you strip your crank threads or something you've in essence raped your freewheel as well as your crank? Just get a longer BB ;) 127.5mm and proud (as long as you don't look then comment on my chain-line :">)!

Part of the excitement is waiting to find out (Y) You'll probably find summat extra in there, even if it's just a fistful of Alans stickers...

I got a Federal Foundation. Came super quickly with a free copy of Ride (USA edition though), several packets of sweets, some other random magazine, and some other random sweets :S They're a really great company. Great customer care. Like Cleanbikes, only with more confectionary goods, and BMX-orientated (Y)
-
I love you too (Y) Seen the moderating logs recently? Or the list in my PM Inbox of all the stuff I've done for people, e.g. closing threads/moving stuff/looking at dodgy posts, all that stuff? Like I've said countless times to other people, if you have a problem with me being a moderator talk to Tom and Danny (Who, incidentally, I had to rim, not suck off Joe :S). Go nuts. Mark

Have you got a savagely old version of quicktime or something?
-
Jeez Ad, get you and your 'controversial' topics :S First the "North/South Divide", now the "Trials-Forum Hierarchy"? Bit bored or summat (Y) I don't think there's any real issue, from what I can tell. The SM's just help out Danny/Tom with the design of the forum and other suggestions like that, and help mods/admin out by pointing out posts that need work (actually got messaged about this needing to be moved. Progress for you...). If you've got a beef about it, it's your opinion I guess. Mark
