  1. I think some of them do, it depends on what model/make you get. Have a look in your local bike shops/intrawebz etc. and see if you can find one to suit(case bwahahaha) your needs >_<
  2. If only more bike bits were recovered!
  3. I ran a Maxxis on a D521 for about a year, and got 2 punctures. Then i changed to a Ronnie, and have been running that for around 6 months and have had zero punctures, i've also run a Michelin on a D521 and pinched it, and run it on the ronnie and not pinched it. So for me, wide = no punctures.
  4. Build a bike rack for the back of it? I wouldn't have thought it'd be THAT hard? Few tubes welded together? I dunno, i don't own a motorbike, but i would have thought it'd be possible somehow?
  5. Chlostrophobia is my main scare... I hate not being able to get out from somewhere, or move if i want to move or whatever. That's about it i think... I hate being sick, but i'm not THAT scared of it.. More disgusted. Thats about it i think :P
  6. Looks good, should be useful :unsure: Orodreth = ?
  7. Usually about 2/3 i'd say. Depends on the tyre though, i went through a Maxxis Minion ST in about 2.5 months, but my Michelin lasted me about 5 months.
  8. All is well and good until you get a tiny little buckle in your rear rim...

    Magura's

    You can... How well it would work, i'm not sure. They have different sized pistons so there may be some compatability problems.
  10. I recon a diamond disk would rip through the alu! Might be worth trying on a shitty old rim i spose? Can't be good for the disk though...
  11. I've not tried Andy, but i'd imagine the only way is to grind a scrap piece of metal with the disk at 90 degrees to the metal? So making the disk wear down smaller so there is a sharp edge? But i'm probably talking out of my arse.
  12. "Martyn Ashton, Martin Haywes, Chris Akrigg, Danny Holroyd, Craig Lee Scott, Ben Slinger, James Hyland, Ben Savage, Vincent Hermance, Benito Ros, Giles Coustoulier, Chris Doney, Cesar Canas, Neil Tunercliffe, and Allistair Clarkson." Shame they can't spell the 'mad heads' names properly eh...
  13. Yep, mine was like that. You could file them off if you're worried about them (i read somewhere on the intrawebs they catch on something inside the hub making bad things happen...But as i said, it was on a website). Might want to keep an eye on your axle, mine had those lil marks...then my hub was off to Hope with a snapped axle and a knackered ratchet (one was a result of the other)
  14. Stephen wins. My bike is the worst looking/colour coded bike in the world, so i shan't bore you with it's gayness. EDIT: Where's Andy T's Pure/Kenny Belaey? It would make y'all pee your pants with wonder.
  15. Could you get your mum/girlfriend/friend with no fear to venture into Claire's accessories (or similar) and buy one? They can't be that much, can they? At a guess i'd say ~ £1 or so. Maybe try a piercing shop and ask if they have a clip on one/spare one to have a go with? Not sure how hot they'd be with the whole hygene thing, but it's worth a try?

    Mothers Day

    According to my parents, 'every day is happy child day'....We got told.
  17. Gar-idge. And scon. I'm not sure how it can be pronounced 'scone' and not sound like the Queen? Stephen?
  18. oh my god SHE HAS A NEEDLE THROUGH HER MOUTH!!11 :( :) :) :( :)"
  19. Can't say i'm THAT suprised after using a Mini on the back of my bike for a few days. Were you using the 160mm rotor with it? I recon it'd be pretty good with a 185/203mm one. And maybe a Plazmatic rotor/ pads (if they make them to fit...hmm...) would improve performance.
  20. The Office all the way. I have The Office series one and two on DVD, and Little Britain Series one (is there another one?) and have watched The Office countless times, but Little Britain just a few. I find all Ricky Gervais's comedy funny, his Politics DVD is genious!

    Tioga Tyres

    I'm using one on the back of my 4X bike, seems like it'd be nice and grippy on rock or concrete due to it's soft compound, but the knobs are pretty shallow so it doesn't work too well on mud. I believe Ashton runs the Magnum 66 casing or something, but i use the standard thinner casing, which is actually pretty thick, but not up to Maxxis/Michelin standards. I recon it'd WORK on the back, but might not be particularly good. Might be ok on the front though. I'd say stick with Try-All/Michelin/Maxxis :(
  22. You could be hitting it too fast? Usually if you slow down it'll stop the front from dropping. If you're doing it from bunny hop, try leaning back a bit more whilst pulling up on the bars?
  23. Clementines at Christmas :blink: At the moment, Pineapple - Great stuff. Lychees also rule. (If that's how it's spelt, thats what it said on the box, but it was a shady Turkish shop from which they were purchased, my Mum bought a whole box rather than the shop splitting it up into bags....Incase you wanted to know) Grapes are awesome for plain easy-to-eat-ness, but the soft ones suck ass, SUCKAZ. A nice red apple is also good. Oh, and Blueberries! When in season, obviously. Also dried Apricot. Hmmm...Not sure i've got the hang of the 'favorite' part of the question yet.
