    New Camera

    Hi all. Deciding to get a new digital camera in the following months, as mine is old (2003 old). So...wonder if anyone has any recommendations for a camera. Not looking for anything professional, something compact/pocket-size , yet powerful, ability to take decent photos in low light environment and something that starts up quickly (current camera takes like...10 seconds to start up). Was thinking something along the lines of a Sony Cybershot but any other big brand of camera manufacturers is ok. Thanks in advance
  3. same here. gona ask my friend later "out of interest". must stop buying bikes
  4. I always listen to metal during riding. For me...biking is a way of escaping from daily life and stress from work so listening to music and bike riding is my way of relaxing. But like others said, gets me in the mood. Plus with me living in China, it helps me to ignore the Chinese people commenting on "white devil on the seatless bike"
  5. Deng needs to stay away from making brakes. the black adamant doesnt look too bad
  6. agreed. the first trial bike i had was dodgy, needed CONSTANT repairs and was pretty heavy.

    Ps3 Slimline

    what good games does ps3 have? if my xbox dies again...not sure what id get next. xbox 360 again or try ps3.
  8. i used to have the echo brakes and it got to the point it had to be bled before every ride...only then for it to go spongy within 30 mins. change lever..it will be easier and better
  9. how long do you think it could roughly take me to ride 27 km / 16 miles on a stock trial bike?
  10. does anyone have a picture of the 24" frame? the site doesnt seem to be working for me right now (well...just the 24" bike section)

    Lee Shi Ming

    Friend of a friend. gona get the chance to meet him next week...should be cool. never really met really good riders. my plan is to steal some of his skill...any ideas? video link is here
  18. the ENOs here in china are a little expensive. anyone use the echo freewheel? worth the buy or should i avoid it?
  19. they arent bad...but then again...ive only used ACS so i have nothing to compare it to. what freewheel you recommend?
  20. its an ACS claws taking apart is easy...putting back together is what i cant do
  21. Hi basically i wana lube up my freewheel so its running smoothly (making some creaking sounds). but the thing is...if i take apart my freewheel...i have no idea how to put it back together (done once before thinking i could put it back together, couldnt, dont wana do it again). so with out taking it apart, is there any other way to lube it up (like soak it in oil or something) could get someone else to do it but it will have to be next week sometime sorry if this is a dumb question...not too good at bike maintenance
  22. i might just come along. im with out a bike though and you guys are most likely alot better than me...so il just be around to take photos
  23. wont be...prob could even find a place to make me a fake one...custom fit. would be cheap too
  24. when and where? i am with out a bike...its in china (wish i brought it now). so il just bring a camera
