  1. Vimeo Video -> Original Video Dick for getting into the situation but quite cool otherwise.
  2. Yeah, grips and pedals might be in order when the time comes... would finish it off nicely
  3. It seems to be a bit marmite... some people like it, some hate it!
  4. I run about 30psi (like 2.1 bar) in my holy rollers and don't get many punctures. Maybe try a DH tube and a bit more pressure though.
  5. I think it's pretty clear that Dave's 'special'. Don't forget that as a tool (maker) he's used to working to micron tolerances so can obviously tell the difference. I can't understand why you wouldn't make your own though if it's that important...
  6. Why is this troll not banned? If you're going to do a character thing at least make it funny. I'm sure there are Northern sleggs having a hoot but this is just lame.
  7. It's surprising the difference a new chain can make. Everything becomes far smoother and quieter!
  8. Haha, fair enough . I used to only ever join chains 'properly' but have been using the same three piece joiner jobbie for a couple of years now with no problem. Definitely makes life easier when removing and changing my chain but ought to change it more regularly...
  9. While on the subject of 3 piece connectors does anyone know where you can buy one for a 3/32" chain? Can't find them anywhere...
  10. Oops... may have just ordered a stealthy Ribble R872 with 105 black groupset. Not sure how much use it'll get but it is pretty. That means I'll've spent £2500 on new bikes in the past month. Eek.
  11. Broken axle or dodgy bearing would also be a possibility.
  12. I'm no expert (shut up then I hear you shout) but surely the job of the CPU is to carry out as many calculations as possible to undertake the task as quickly as possible. If the PC is carrying out a CPU heavy task like exporting/encoding a video or whatever I'd hope it uses as much of its CPU power as it can... If it was using 85% just surfing the interweb I'd be worried.
  13. Shouldn't even need to measure it... If you can't tell the difference between 25.4mm and 31.8mm learn how to!
  14. That's better! Slam the seat and get some black headset stackers on there and you're done
  15. But your response was far more detailed! I'm with you though- quite quickly stopped using the pants QR and would probably opt for a good V setup instead.
  16. Get a different booster (or run without- those Maggy ones were always a bit crap). The elbow bits sit against the inside of the frame to stop the setup from rotating outwards when the brake's applied.
  17. To be fair I doubt the races have ever been real- it would be impossible to film them if they were.
  18. Humour or stupidity?... Again, entertaining on a silly level but overall just trying too hard.
  19. Yup- comp frames designed to last one season as a comp only bike with another bike being used for 'training'.
  20. Looks really good. Is that rattle can or done properly?! I take it you're running only a rear brake at the moment? I keep on thinking about it but then remember the stuff that relies on the front that I might miss!
  21. Gah some people need to wind their f**king necks in... (not anyone on here).
