isitafox Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 I hate the heat, always get nightmares when I'm too hot in bed and last night was no exception. To the dream thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muel Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 (edited) Failed one of my uni exams. I think I get to resit in August so I should still graduate with everyone else, but I'm still really pissed off about it. I thought I had finally finished!The really annoying bit is that I know I'm one of the high filers in my faculty, I just suck at exams. All but 3 of my assignments this year have been firsts, and the 3 that weren't were very high 2:1s. Edited June 19, 2013 by Muel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Token Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 If I didn't buy a bloody house last year, I'd have a nice car, nice clothes and probably would of treated myself to a pejazzle by now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 a house is a much better investment. long haul it will be worth it.

Ross McArthur Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 73mm BB, 83mm BB. ISCG 05, ISCG old. Will never let myself be confused about these again. Rushed into buying Zee cranks for my 73mm bb, turned out they were 83mm axle. Rage. Rushed into buying a 05 MRP chain device for my new frame, turns out mines an Old. Even more rage.

It's a pain in the arse, especially when you factor in all the different headset options, different rear wheel spacings, front mech mounting options and clearance with pivot placement.... there seems to be so many standards. Are you putting Zee cranks on the Intense? Their fairly heavy duty.... I take it they're new so you can just swap them for the ones you need? With the chain device you could always get an old ISCG back plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the chain device you could always get an old ISCG back plate. Nope. Both second hand from PinkBike...As was the frame. Thankfully the guy accepted I was a knob and gave me a refund for the MRP device but I bought the Zee cranks a couple of weeks ago so im not even going to chance asking for my money back. Ive bought a raceface spacer kit for it but in the bigger rear cogs the chain line is horrible. I just know its going to be a pain setting up a device when I finally get one. Im making sure I get the headset right. Ive got 1-1/8" fork steerer and the frame is 1.5". So I need a reducer headset. Got a Hope HS coming to sort that. 135mm back end so no problems there but its a 10mm dropout so need a new axle...Hhmmfff. Got one from Pinkbike for £8 so thats all good. Ach, ill get it sorted eventually but this isnt the lay back and accept it thread, so ill continue to be ANGRY!! f**k YOU BIKES!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance you could sell the Zee cranks to get your money back and then use it to buy some 73mm cranks? Just wondering if that'll be better as not sure how it'll all work in terms of chainline with a guide on there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wondering if that'll be better as not sure how it'll all work in terms of chainline with a guide on there? I'm trying. Ive put a few adverts for sale stuff on PB just now. Just need to edit with pictures when I get home. Spent a fortune the past few days on f**k ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I feel your pain man. I still have a set of brand new Saint cranks sat at home in the box because I ordered them by mistake and haven't got round to selling them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) How much JD? Might know a very interested party. What rings on them? Oh and the above sizes is probably a good idea! Edited June 20, 2013 by shamus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 They're 170s with an 83mm BB. No rings, and only take a single big 'un. Ill take £40 less than whatever they're on at CRC, including postage. Brand new in box, never fully fitted, although they have been unwrapped.

shamus Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just checked and he's after the 73mm. But I'm curious they only take a single ring? All the sets I've seen can take three (double and bash typically) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the sets I've seen can take three (double and bash typically) Yea the 83mm BB one is the DH one and only takes a single outer, which was my problem!

weirdoku Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I accidentally bought 12 cans of alcohol free Kopparberg. I didn't even know an alcoholic free version existed. I was in ASDA, went to the alcohol isle, saw the Kopparberg and grabbed 2 packs of 6. Was just drinking one and thought, I can't feel the alcohol, looked at the can and BAM, "Alcohol Free". This is some sick joke. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
