  1. Well what do you know- it's 1.5mm. Just measured it with a guessometer in t'garage. Edit: And don't say I'm not good to you!!
  2. 'Standard' doesn't really mean anything though when the options are Fine and Coarse.
  3. Measure it? I'm guessing 1.5mm (). Can't be bothered going into the garage to measure it though .
  4. Same here with V3.1. Tom and Danny are working on V4.0 at the moment so I think things are being changed in the background. Edit: Reply and things are visible in V4... Gallery's still a little messed up though.
  5. To be honest, I think you would be best off buying Monkey Life Series 1 and Series 2. I find the TV show paints a fairly complete and accurate view of Monkey World and all the attractions you can see there. They also have a fairly useful website and you can now follow and support them on both Facebook and Twitter .
  6. 18:14 always felt about right when I was doing comps although that was with 160mm cranks. I'd say 18:15 will be too light since, as has been said, that's fairly standard 26" ratio.
  7. Damn... finally got the sim registered, topped up with £5 and bought a £10 'goodybag' and it appears that although my phone is not locked and can phone and text through Giffgaff no problems, the APN data settings are locked to tesco. I've added a new APN setup with all the Giffgaff settings but the Tesco ones can't be modified or deleted and I can't access the interweb without a WLAN. Will try phoning Tesco tomorrow t osee what they say but are there any otehr suggestions out there?!

    I actually did as well... Obviously that's not all I thought but I did notice it straight away.
  9. I'm not sure they exist... 14" seems to be the smallest 'proper' wheels you can get.
  10. Are you after standard or internal? Standard I've been very happy with the FSA Orvit Equipe- really smooth and solid wihtout being overkill like the Pig.
  11. Absolutely. I can't even start to count the number of threads in SM Chat relating to paedophilia.
  12. That's really not that funny. At all. However, I've never seen 'to catch a predator' so will take your word for it .
  13. That. Is. Awesome. Someone sig it please (but spelt correctly of course ). Paedophilia can be funny. Fact.
  14. Yeah, for some reason the bike came with black forks rather than the specced white and I think the whites look better so the guys at Inspired were happy to swap them .
  15. Ah gotcha, I thought that's might be what you meant but wasn't sure. They're actually different forks (rather than having been sprayed by me) so I'm just going to leave them for now as it's a proper powder coat job at present.
  16. Sorry, you lost me there- which bit do you mean? Other acceptable answers are white forks and Hope Grip Doctors.
  17. Physically bent. In theory hydroforming will increase the stiffness of a given tube compared to a plain tube.
  18. I'd say it depends on the sort of riding. A stiff frame is ideal for technical comp riding and gives you full confidence in wheel placement and instant power transmission but won't necessarily be overly 'comfortable'- it would be a sharp tool, built for a purpose. However, for a more rounded frame for use on streets and just general trials riding, I think a degree of flex is both forgiving (to components and the body) and also more 'comfortable'. Obviously you don't want it being so flexy so as to be unstable but a little 'give' in certain directions wouldn't be bad. I guess that's part of the reasoning behind curvy tubes- a very stiff rear end for instant power transmission and confidence on the back wheel but flex and a little 'give' up front.
  19. He should learn to go from two wheels...
  20. Ooooollldddd. His leg waving when he clearly doesn't need it annoys me. Julien Dupont effteedoubleu.
  21. Sooo... you're saying I can wear polyester and cotton at the same time without fear of my neighbour stoning me to death? That's good .
