  1. You tend to measure with standard geo forks, and you just disregard the headtube angle effecting it. The idea is you use mainly the wheelbase, head angle, BB rise and chain stay legnth to get an idea of how it rides, the reason the systems how it is is because it works.
  2. Take the BB out, clean the threads on the BB and in the frame very thorughly, (petrol and a toothbrush works well), then let them dry, cover the threads on the BB with locktight and refit it.
  3. Probably that, I Had a 2.4ghz P4 HT, 1GB of ram and a decent graphics card in mine and it still struggled.
  4. Whats the computer spec? My old one struggles with vimeo aswell at times.
  5. Sounds like a driver issue, or a computer full of shit issue to me. EDIT:Probably isn't the graphics card, because every card in the last 5 years or so can play youtube videos easily.
  6. + 1 lifetime if you ask about it.
  7. PM me in a few months time, we've only just started the 3rd week. Web Systems Design at Sheffield Hallam.
  8. Sounds like just the sort of thing my mates would do, apart from rolling the wheel through traffic, which was f**king stupid but then, sure we've all done some stupid stuff in our time and regretted it. Sounds to me like it's just a misread situation + wind up that got a bit out of hand.
  9. No excuses now mate, get Daddy to drive you too his house, take the bike back and either petrol money or his bike!
  10. Someone post his address up quick, then just get a lift down there and pick it up. Has he actually stolen it, or was he supposed to be buying it or summat?
  11. Looking good mate! Should ride really nice! (Pity it's not an 04 though ).

    Zbm?

    9.12? Pfffffft, Adam's not been treating you right Mark! Eagle claw rear and front Try-All tyres will get that well under 9kg though. Looks really smart! Everyone's getting mods again now, even me and I never ride and can barely fit on it.
  13. If this really was as good as you're making out, you'd have given some more details. Let me guess, delivering leaflets for minimum wage? Or possibly filling out surveys?
  14. I've never had an issue, just send it in I say!
  15. Thats probably the nicest 24 I've ever seen. It's lacking the ghetto factor that 24s need to be cool though! Needs some innovative bodging/modifying in there somewhere.

    Which would make you hand a bike over?

    You got his address Ali? Sack the courts off, it'll take months.... Go and steal it back!
  18. How quick do they come loose? Are you tightening them several times a ride for the first few rides?
  19. Those gussets between the top tube and seat stays look familiar... Toxin I think? Or Bionic?

    The Law.

    Fairly certain it was Dan Ko. If they're priced wrong, then they have every right to cancel the order and return your money.

    Anodising is a electrolosis process that sticks some pigment die into pretty much any metal (I think), works really well on aluminium though because it's so porous. EDIT: Too slow.
  22. Well you'd need the steel studs version for them to last longer than a week, and they're only 3g lighter than Wellgo MG-1s, but loads heavier than the TI axle versions, that you can get on Ebay for about £50.
