Get trialtech foams, they are so tight on the bar, they will never move for anything!

Connect the hard drive up to another computer as a slave? hat'd be my next step. You'll be able to get files off it, but not crack the password problem. Well, you probably could, but I don't know how.

It's happened to me once before, I just did it again.

Don't worry Fatty, I've got worse. I'm not posting them though, they're too nasty.

Nope, Sorry.

Trust me, you can feel a 250g difference when your bikes 8.8kg to start with. It all adds up anyway, If you get 2 bikes next to each other, where one is 10kg and the other is 8.5/9kg, the difference is massive. I know because I did it. I was in between bikes at the time, but still, the difference was massive. EDIT: The one nearest had my 06 short frame on there, once I got my 08 Long I built it up with my 07 long to compare, the geo was almost identical between the 08 and the 07.

100lbs, you are one light dude! I went on a ride today where about half the riders have cut knobbles off. It has been proven to be cool because Bigman has done it.

Those little kids who are always posting topics in NMC about their bikes, "Ooh look, I had a mint spec Czar, but it wasn't good enough, so I got a Echo, but it wasn't good enough, so I got a Kamel." Whats next, a custom made Mod version of the Boxx?

Get a sprung tensioner.

I used to use that, but the chain kept coming off. I just took the jockey wheel off, left one of the plate things in the wrong way round and bolted it up tight. It doesn't turn but I don't really care, it may wear the chain slightly and it makes a load of noise, but my brake works properly and it takes 15 seconds to tension the chain.

I've had the same problem, I use a tensioner now that's working brilliantly, click the link in my sig to see it.

They kinda stand out.

I caught myself thinking today, what I really need to do with my life is to look at more pictures of skinny blokes. Thanks to that picture, I realise how wrong I was. Are you wearing wooley boxers?

I agree somewhere along the way with that, I think that making your bike too weak to save weight is a bit silly, and I'm a fairly shite rider, but I'm good enough to be able to feel the difference between a light bike and a heavy one. Light bikes are less tiring to ride, you can make it to the end of the section without being completely knackered with a lighter bike. Who said I didn't.

I cut the side knobbles on my rear creepy crawler, and the little diagonal ones on my front Try-All. Saved 130g in total, and they both definately grip the edges of things better. How much weight you save depends on the knobbles you cut, if you cut any of the middle section blocks on the rear tyre, you'll save about 50g. If you cut the larger ones on the sides, you'll save around 100g. I weighed the tyre before and after, and that's what I saved. Works brilliantly, but I reckon that wear life with be shorter, and they look really wierd.

Scamming bastards, there's so many these days!

It's completely down to you, you'd need to ride both first if you possibly can.

Those stems are insane, I don't think I've ever seen bigger! The front rim looks cool with the Try-All log on it though, nice touch.

Yo Albi, stop trying to save the failboat fool! TGS is dooooooooooooooooooooomed.

Nope, they did it with photoshop.

I'd say it's either the BB or the rear hub then, CNC maching is really accurate, so as long as the tapers are in good condition it should be one of those two. I don't know how well machined profiles are for being central to the axle.

Hey Adam, fancy riding Matlock Quarry tommorrow?

Dire.

My bad. :$

It really does take the piss, I know people who get £30 EMA and £30 of their parents, every week! I struggle to afford to get to college, but it doesn't matter that they live within walking distance and get £30 for the priviledge, while I get nothing and live 15 miles away. I'm not complaining, it just takes the piss, the system is too unfair. But yeh, this guy needs blacklisting, it's gone on far too long now.
