Muel

Pretty much. It's to do with the surface area of the pistons. It effectively multiplies the force you put into the system at the lever. I think the M4 and 6TI use multiple pistons in order to use a longer, shallower pad so that it can toe in, which leads to more modulation. (Not certain about that last bit). What, you can diagnose that via the internet and some pictures? Bollocks!

Ah I seee, sounds awesome! Rods don't effect the stroke though, the throw on the crank does. (Coming from bike world anyway). You could put 1m long rods in and the piston will still move through the same stroke, it'll just be sticking up out of the bonnet. One day, I fancy an LCR... Probably never will though.

When you say rods, you mean conrods right? And when you say pop and bang, do you mean on the overrun? How does that work? Just interested, all I can think of is that changing the rods will increase the compression ratio or summat?

Mono trial has almost equal power to an M4 theoretically. The M4 splits it across more pistons to increase modulation. Anyway, not bad wee man, but still not as pimp as my Simtra.

Bike looks ace Danny, looks like you're riding bigger than ever as well.

Unless the factories have just been flooded and hard drive prices have nearly trebled. Internal drives were at £55 for a 2tb drive in about 2010, they're still way above that. I'm waiting for 3tb drives to hit £75, then I shall be filling my server with them.

100gb? Don't be a cock, Dan. Buy for the future. A few years ago I remember saying, "I'll never fill 500gb", then I filled it, then I said "I'll never fill 2tb", then I filled it. I've had the old version of these for about 2 years, it's a bit fecking awesome. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-154-SA

Get bigger legs. Ride faster. I used to use 16:13 on stock, couldn't stand anything lighter.

Earlier today I was briefly happy because I realised that I will never do another uni lecture, but then I realised that I still have assignments and exams to go, which really sucks. Can't wait to be done with it! Overall the last 4 years has been a mistake.

I'm sure if you asked the landlord if you could paint it, they'd be open to it? Just confirm the colour with them first? EDIT: Actually, just remembered that most landlords are not like mine... She's awesome.

Height isn't the big factor IMO, it's just a question of weight/bulk and agility. My brother is 6'4" (at least) and he rides mods, whereas I can't make them do anything. If I started again I'd need a stock, and I'm 5'10". Difference is, I'm about 4 stone heavier than him.

Hahaaaa! At least he had a bit of flair about it, a bit of patter you might say. These modern noobs are just all like "Yo bro I az got dis byke what is rite gud". Pete would at least tell you a little story to keep you on your toes.

If you can't think of a name/identity for your company, hire someone to shape it. There are experts in the field who will give you a name and identity, capture the essence of what you want to do, design you a logo etc. If you're stumbling at choosing a name, don't waste any more time on it.

I used to just make sure I bought from reputable members, job done. I only got scammed once (by Pete Wright of all people), but it was only £15 for a rotor, so thought I'd take the risk. I just threatened him with some form of legal action and he refunded it.

I thought it was double the limit or anything over 100mph.

Sausage! Never speed under bridges!

As if you didn't alert me to this deal at the time... Glad it paid off though dude.

Is that the wall from Stone Monkey? Signed.

As long as I'm comfortable, I have no care what things look like. The stuff in our flat is actually pretty nice, although obviously cheap and shit. It's held my arse off the floor for 2 years without any trouble though. I agree with your opinion of Ikea though. It's functional and looks OK IMO, but it's a bit low rent... We're hoping to move closer to my family within a year or so, so we'll probably end up in this situation (renting an unfurnished place). I might look into building my own furniture to save some pennies, how hard can it be? My Dad does appear to have a load of unused furniture though, so we'll probably be able to blag a load of that. I'm really not arsed about things matching and looking right though, free stuff saves money, and money can be spent on doing things, which means I'm not sat around the flat. I couldn't care less that my table doesn't match my settee in my lounge if I'm out in the mountains.

Well, my proper suggestion would be to move to the North, as a fully furnished 1 bed flat can be had for £350 a month up here. Sharing with other people... How uncivilised!

Whoooaaaa lad, my example is to rent a fully furnished flat, then you don't even need to move the furniture in and then when it collapses (as our bed did), one call to the landlady and a man will arrive with a new one! I have one piece of furniture to my name which is so big it can only just fit in a big van. Moving it about would cost as much as it was worth if I didn't have a mate with a big van! I don't want more furniture than that!

f**k that, it's an organic hippy b*****d vegetarian whole salers. I went to Lidl and bought a BLT ready for my lunch instead.

Normally living next to an industrial whole food whole saler warehouse thing is shit, but this morning one of the forklift monkeys dropped a fully loaded pallet upside down in the car park. Waking me up with comedy puts them wayyyy up in my book.

Paying for furniture is a mugs game! At one time or another I've known someone to throw a perfectly good item of everything away. The only thing I've ever bought is my desk, and that was because I needed a very very strong one due to the weight of nerdgasm that sits upon it.

Alcoholic inner-city gutter scum.
