  1. What is rep? I would like one please.
  2. Some sort of Specialized Hard Rock would do the job nicely. Look for some tyres with a smoother section in the middle for the road, and nice big knobbly bits around the edge to grip on softer ground. Then pump them up to 60psi. I've done a few long rides on MTB, BMX, and even 25+ miles on a trials bike with silly gearing and no seat. I've since bought a dedicated road bike... Once you've experienced a lightweight ride, 700c wheels, 110psi and short ratio gearing, you'll never want to ride anything else on the roads!
  3. I've got 2010 roxio creator pro, it's pretty good. I just use it for all my DVD/CD burning needs. It's no Adobe Premier though... How much is it?
  4. Thanks very much guys I'll have a look at those Hellfrauds ones the next time I'm in there, but those CRC ones look like they could be a winner!
  5. Ahoy, I'm after some nice warm gloves, preferably wind proof as I think that's where most of the chill comes from. I rarely ride trials in the winter but when I'm on my other bikes and at speed, my finger tips are frozen within seconds! My TLDs just aren't up to it, I'd like something windproof, warm, insulated and flexible enough to ride in and use the brakes. Any suggestions?
  6. I hopped about on the roof of one of my old Minis once and tt creased the f**k out of the roof. Won't be doing it again in a rush.
  7. That's a shame, I was looking forward to a shitstorm.
  8. Edit'd with more info. Looks like he's from Plymouth; http://technohead.pinkbike.com/ Oh look, your x-box! http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/5755648/
  9. Could be easier than you think. You'll already have his full name and sort code from sending him the money. The sort code you that you paid his money to is basically his main branch's address code. The banks list all the addresses of all their branches and their sort codes on their websites. First use the sort code to find his main branch. Even just a google search might come up trumps. Now go to 118118.com and search for his surname and use the location as his banks main branch city/county. Hopefully he won't live too far from his main branch. You'll then be presented with a list of surnames in that area. Phone everyone up and ask to speak to what ever his first name is, when you find him, write down his address from the 118 search. If the search using the banks location fails to work, have you exchanged personal emails with each other? You can quite easily read the IP address from an incoming email and then put that IP address into a website which shows you it's general location. Then you can search for his name in that location again. Once you have his address, drive to his house and take the law in your own hands. You might be able to report it to the bank or police, but nothing much will probably happen as there is no real proof that anything happened. The only other thing you could do is to get your own back. For example, now you have his name, address and bank details including home branch, you can sign him up to direct debit services eg the RAC or AA. Both about £40 a year, and when he notices it and phones up to cancel it, he won't be able to as he won't be able to confirm his full details (eg date of birth or security questions) as you will have chosen what they are.
  10. Quit complaining and just pay up yo. Nothing we can do about it now. Don't like it; move away. Hopefully it'll be something else to deter any more immigrants.
  11. Takes a lot of energy to do a boon like that. Best way to get up on the back wheel if you can't move your back wheel at all would be to gently throw your weight back while pushing on the pedal with your foot lightly, so the wheel doesn't actually rotate or move, you just kind of rotate the bike into a vertical position. Hard to explain. Then you can boon about on the back wheel to get it where you want, rather than boon-swap. Edit: All depends on the terrain, and angle of the surface your on really.
  12. Get about 80-90 miles out of a 2.5l tank. About 3 quid to fill up. Can't grumble at that. If you peddle as well... You could half that. If you peddle and accelerate at the same time, you can really pull away from traffic really quite fast haha.
  13. Yeah eBay is fine. Find a UK seller. I paid £125 posted. In the rain, no probs. CDI is all resin sealed, only other electronics are two wires going to a kill switch on the bars.
  14. Tattoo Advice. My advice; don't get one. People will laugh at you.
  15. Yeah I should really get a front brake on there. That old centre pull brake on the back isn't very efficient either. The old lever is now a clutch yes. The rear sprocket bolts through the spokes with fat rubber spacers. It sounds uber sketchy, but it seems to be holding up well. It's a LOT of fun. You get some very strange looks from on-coming cyclists. Everyone that's seen it has said it's the most incredible thing they have ever seen haha.
  16. Just built this, and I expect you boys will find it pretty interesting... One old bicycle... One engine... One motorbike... Goes all right, it's 80cc. Still running in though... I've got a 10 mile commute every day, used to ride it (leg power) on this old bike every day. It was all right, pretty flat so wasn't really gaining any fitness. Saw a kid with one of these on his bike and me and my house mate were like "right, it's game on, I want one". Both bought the kits, and we're off. His is on a GT XC rig with sus forks. Legal? If it's inspected by VOSA, taxed and insured then yeah. Luckily my 10 mile route to uni is all on my own private land. Pretty good fun. I thoroughly recommend.
  17. That's my video. Go easy with it, I take no responsibility. It will come out though. Yes, it's the same for the ISO disk. The internals are the same.
  18. I've had many bad experiences in the past. The ink dries up etc, too expensive to replace. In some cases it's actually cheaper to buy a whole new printer as it comes with free cartridges rather than buy the cartridges alone. I few years ago I bought a £100 Canon printer/scanner/fax etc. and it's never let me down. The genuine Canon cartridges never seem to dry up when you haven't used it for a long time. Worth the investment. It works with my Apple AirPortExpress Base Station too
  19. I've just joined Oxford Brookes Uni and brought my bike up here incase there is anything good. Seen a few nice things in videos. Anyone up for a ride? I've ridden since 2003, but then got interested in girls in 2006 which kinda stopped everything. So I'd like to say I've been riding 2.5 years in reality. So I'm up for easyish stuff to get back into it. Anyone local?

  21. I'm sure there are a few travellers on here. I'd like to take my girlfriend to either New York at Christmas or Hong Kong over Easter, and if you Google "cheap flights", well it's all a bit of a con really. Do any of you boys use any good sites that offer real last min deals? I prefer to visit places spontaniously (sometimes even the next day) arrive at places and just wing it as I go along as it makes it a bit more of an adventure. Cheers boys.
