Like Chris from trialkings ran? That was more than 3/4 years ago :P Jon

Season 4 well worth the watch... as is the film. I'm surprised you've not managed to get a copy Tomm. Jon

You mean the Nickel plated Ghz prototype that was at the bike show? Don't pashley use off the shelf dropouts? Pretty much like any other manufacturer... No pictures though... they were hosted on the old image uploaded which is long gone. Jon

Why'd you say Matt B then? Another Lysdexic moment? As for to change or not to change. I don't think you'll ever change Pete... Jon

Of course. One person went back... Hang on a min. Last time I talked to boon he was riding a Curtis... I doubt many people give a shit about the 'demise of the mhz' Jon

If it's so good then why are you changing? Why did Pashley change it? Jon

Anyone heard of this program called MSN? It allows instant messaging over the internet. Clever huh? Stops public forums like this being clogged up with shite. Jon

Why not? I have a pair on my Magnesium V12's. They're only £35. They save a bit of weight and look nice. Whilst I'm sure the steel ones are just as durable they seemed like a good idea at the time. Jon

Sounds like the scales of truth to me :) Were the scales made by the same people who made the trials-forum tape measure? :) I'd be very surprised if a T-Pro weighed 8.5kg! Jon

I wouldn't trust you either :) I've had no problems with my V Backings and araldite. I went for Maguras originally because my friends had them and they worked. I've taken the plunge back to V Brakes now I've got a better choice of pads. I thin I prefer them, although I'm still tempted to go back to a magura on the front to get the feel/modulation I want with a grind. I'm sure with patience I'll find a pad that works for me. Jon

Have you changed the skin? Some of them don't have the spell check button. Jon

Get a tube that has a screw down bezel/nut to attach it to the rim. Jon

Muchos Gracious Raub. I'm off to ride! Jon

I'm wanting to go and join the Liverpool ride this afternoon. Danny's phone is off/out of signal and I don't have a number for anyone else on the ride. Anyone care to help me out? The people who are supposed to be there are tom!e, Will Arnold and craigdavies. I've tried phoning all the Liverpool people I know to get a number, but no luck... Ta Jon

ShitUCI© or ShitBMX© ?

You can if you're holding onto someone else on a unicycle... Which is what they do when they do stop. Jon

Linkage Looks pretty cool/weird. I bet it's just like riding a unicycle... Jon

Practice, Practice, Practice... You'll get used to the one-finger braking. What brake setup are you running? Might be worth upgrading/setting up properly if it wont lock with one finger. Jon

A Computer repair shop/person (would probably have to be an independant place) The trouble with laptops is it takes around 2 hours to dismantle one to get the access you need to the motherboard to see what sort of problem it's got. It's also a risky process taking one apart as they're very delicate. There's no harm in asking around, especially as I'm not sure how many places would take on such a repair. Try contacting the manufacturer directly too - I'd imagine they'd charge around £250 to fit a new motherboard. Hope that's some sort of help... Jon

It depends on the extent of the damage to the board... I've repaired about 10 laptops with power problems - they've all been caused by people damaging the power socket by snagging the power lead. The best way to repair it is to solder a new socket to the motherboard on a fly lead. It's not as neat as a new board, but it's a lot cheaper. How skilled are you with a soldering iron/taking apart laptops? Jon

Try an electric drill and a 10mm bit and drill the centre out? Jon

Linkage RIP DJ

If it's an old laptop then it wont have USB 2 which means external harddrives will be painfully slow. Jon

Do you want me to bring my spare King axle?

I used to travel from Derby to Bristol to ride, although I was probably older at the time... I'll probably be dragging my ass down to Lime Street at around 11. It's a whole 10 mins ride for me :D Weather looks a bit grey outside, but the forecast says it'll brighten up. I'll be on a white ET. Jon
