Get a new lever instead of a whole brake?

That's the problem , I've always though along the lines of helping people like those people that go over to Africa and try and benefits the lives of children with AIDs and all that, although I'm pretty certain not that sort of person. I suppose everything's meaningful. I always thought tv presenters are useless but then I suppose as sad as it is it provides old people company. And comedians cheer people up, musicians and sports people inspire people, politicians apparently try to help people... I'm going nowhere with this

Pretty awesome although I found the riding a little repetitive. Wish I could ride there, looks like my sort of place

Do something meaningful, problem is not a lot seems to be.

If you want to get a full rotation for tailwhip sort of moves, get one of these http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/headset_spares/gusset_hollow_star_nut_kit/c57p11013.html put your front brake through that, longer rear brake cable, done.

Happy Go Lucky was pretty good, she got on my nerves a bit though

Got my hopes up

The alu backings mean what the coloured pad material is attached too. Their better because they're stiffer than plastic ones, just have to make sure you're setting up yours pads squarely. And when you're learning I think it's hard to hurt yourself too bad, you'll focus more on the technique than doing big dangerous stuff. Although shin pads are a worthy investment, the scars on my shins are proof of that. Forks and bars look good enough, I think. Depends what you consider expensive, I'm really cheap so anything over £10 requires considerable thought. And the Monty looks good, wish I had started with Maguras instead of cheap vees.

Too long, all of them. X-ray graphics are pretty jazzy though

I think the Onza Zoot is your best bet, good spec, looks good and rides pretty well (I'm not to much of a judge though, only rode it once or twice). There's also the Ashton Effect but you'd probably want to change bars, stem, brakes, gearing and hubs after a while.

It's hard to tell really. You say that you found it hard to get height, but most people struggle with that to start off with (depending on what you did in BMX...) Although, it maybe that because of your BMX background for trials you would prefer a mod. The Monty sounds like a good deal, I'd defiantly l look at that first as it may be a higher spec than a budget 24". Have you tried riding a mod before? I think that will make all the difference at this point

Battle scars are cool anyways

I prefer freehubs, simpler to me (I'm pretty simple) and I don't really care about weight at all. When I lift my bike I can easily feel that the majority of weight is at the back but when I ride it I never notice. And I have a prejudice to anything that isn't a Pro 2

Maybe if we sacrifice a goat and the mother's first born she'll be saved. Or maybe I should go rescue her. Actually, I can't be bothered.

160's pretty short, maybe longer cranks to give you more power because of longer pivot? It's something like that I think.

Download a youtube converter, search videosoft then there's a youtube to ipod/PSP (other formats as well) Awesome video

Ride my bike for a day then when you go back to yours it'll feel as light as two egg shells.

I managed to get the last pair from Selectbikes a few weeks ago, couldn't get them anywhere else. I'd assume they'd be on sale at Tarty when the new frames come in?

I have the one with the normal looking seat tube and I loved that, nice geometry and strong. Looks like a pretty good deal with the spec. Has that frame been recently produced?

laugh out loud, what happened after that? Still friends ?

Dream about me dieing... I have always heard this is impossible because your body would subsequently die to your dream self dieing. This dream started at a city train station, where I was with three of my friends. Everything was normal, however then a small plane threw into the building and landed. Everyone knew it was a terrorist and began running frantically. I saw the bomb go off in the same way a tactical nuke goes off in COD. I knew I couldn't run and accepted that I was going to die and I did. I remember thinking at this point that if I was dead in a dream I must have woken up or am actually dead. Before I could make up my conclusion in this nothingness I awoke within the dream. This is were it gets a bit sci-fi, I was the position an embryo is usually picture in and naked. Alongside me where two other people. I couldn't see anything about them, not even their gender. They were both asleep or dead. I looked around and saw we were in some sort of grey container, like a bucket but I had the feeling it wasn't or couldn't be as simple as a bucket. Outside the bucket all I could see was white. As I belive anyone would do, I panicked. I yelled and got up and tried to escape with no success what so ever. Then I was transferred to the 'next stage'. I'd like to add at this point (and with you not being able to stop me) that this is genuinely as I remember it, I'm not changing anything. I had become nothing. I had no body. I could see nothing but white everywhere. However I felt my body, as if I was in it and I felt I was somewhere, on the edge of a cliff to be as exact as possible. I heard a voice simply saying 'Hello.' in a stupidly normal fashion considering the situation I was in. I was on the edge of the cliff and the voice was projected from everywhere but where I was existing. It felt as though I was talking to something enormous and uncomprehendingly massive. He (it was a male voice) proceeded to tell me that I was dead and I had passed to the next stage. I enquired as to what this meant and my reply was that I would be finding out soon enough. Then, strangely, he apologized. He apologized for the way I died, by an act of terrorism. It made me wonder why terrorists feel the need to bring others with him and before I spoke this my answer was his own fear. That the fictional terrorist had been to afraid himself to commit suicide in a less disruptive manner and that he took great comfort in that people were going to be with him. I remember asking more about this but not word for word. What I remember was he confessed to being my creator and that he found getting balances difficult, between having to dispose of the evil and justify the good. And then I continued on my journey to the next stage. I was in a school. There was teachers, there were desks, the buildings were old and covered in ivy and there was a tower in the centre of the premises. I was in a class and I recognised my murderer. I felt the need to hate him. I couldn't. There was nothing in my nothingness that could hate him. I was dismayed at this, I had been looking forward and eager to hate him. The teacher walked in and before I could ask anything I awoke (to the real world this time).

What tube are you running? I got tones of pinches then I changed to a Maxxis DH and don't get them nearly as much (was on abot 3-4 a day)

Nothing wrong with giving your bike a quick wash.

Wish I could get an Inspired Hex, but my parents budget doesn't quite stretch that high. I've even asked my siblings if they'd be willing to sacrifice their value to help me but they're too selfish to do that.

Was just thinking half an hour ago about this when I took my bike in incase it frooze. Hopefully I'll get some soon.
