But seriously, I'll get bored eventually and Google it but just for us non net geeks?

I was a slow starter on the video front... In fact I still am .

Sheesh, get a 24"... oh, wait. BMXing is wicked fun and so much cooler than trials. True fact.

If with a completely normal chain you're either just short or then just too long by adding another complete link (that is a pair of normal links) then by adding a single half link to the shorter chain you should be in the ballpark. You should never need to use more than one half link otherwise you're just weakening your chain without gaining anything. But two lefts don't make a right and two wrongs don't make a right. Right?

Then you're doing it wrong... the point of a half link is that one of those can replace a 'full' link (that is one narrow and one wide link) of a normal chain so you can reduce the length of the chain by 1/2" (the length of a single link).

It's stiil fookin' big judging by the bike in the background but looks stretched a bit on my screen. Edit: actually, looking at it closer was that held?! Looks like it must be the rim gripping the wall!

Ah shit. Rossi's gone and broken his leg during practise for the Italian GP. Successfully operated on and pinned but certainly out for the near future... Expected to be on crutches for 6 weeks.

There's been nothing since that story. I'm assuming it was just a recreational rider or XC guy who got something wrong. Heard nothing from anyone I know about it being trials related.

I'm there.

You'd have to package it in something first...

I'm gonna miss this one I'm afraid as I'll be falling off a big hill in Wales somewhere.

Angle is relative to the steerer and length is from the centre of the steerer to the centre of the bar (i.e. the 'effective' length of the stem, rather than just the length of tube between the two clamping points).

The roof he's going to in the dropgap pic looks like it'd give way if a cat walked across it, let alone landing on it from 15' away...

'Kinell.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Really?

Where spelling and grammar are completely irrelevant

And that was only because praying didn't work... Sorry, that was a low blow.

Shouldn't be far off. Give Tarty a ring- they'll know!

Gaps down to front make me cringe. Just wrong.

I'd actually quite like to see Rossi on a Ducati... think that could be quite an interesting combination!

Did you see the interview where the press asked him why Honda weren't happy with him and he seemed to know nothing about the statement?! He was like a rabbit caught in headlights!
