    has a talent.

    I too have a disliking for that word. It is often misused. I feel the word skill or ability would be much more apt in most situations. To say something is simply down to 'talent' is to almost deny them of the praise they're worthy of. Since, you are basically saying "they can and you can't" as if it's that simple, instead of acknowledging the time/effort/determination that it also takes to be truly great at something.

    You're obviously insecure about something? Mummy didn't breast feed you enough/too much? Oh no it makes sense now, your father ran off with another woman or used to hit your mum, probably when you were what - 4 years old? leaving your Oedipus complex unresolved and you associated with the behaviors of your father.

    I think you've proved that you're less intelligent than the 15 year old on this subject. Your, "witty" retorts only reinforce this with sweeping overgeneralizations such as Wayne Rooney MUST be a genius - failing to grasp the meaning behind what I said. You then go on to rearrange someones post to make him look like a fool - making other people look small (and thus in your mind you big) is stereotypical of someone who is insecure with themselves.

    Your name under you avatar is "butt pilot" Hummm yea mature aint you!

    So yea seems nearly everyone - you included - thinks Adam is the guy to talk to!

    (Oh and don't call me a child, I'm 26)

    Insecure? Right, because I was the one getting all defensive and lashing out... ;)

    Clearly it is you who failed to grasp what I was saying when I used Wayne Rooney as an example.

    Again, another person cannot articulate themselves well enough to not have to resort to cheap personal jibes, this time bringing my family into it.. :D

    The purpose of your post:

    making other people look small (and thus in your mind you big) is stereotypical of someone who is insecure with themselves.

    Im just pointing out that he is being a cock.

    so, you don't like being impersonated.

    Is that all you lot can say? blatant crappy flaming and personal insults. Truly pathetic.

    Thanks Richard. Or should I say DICK?!

    You've only served to embarrass yourself further with such an idiotic rant. I laugh at you. You are the true ignoramus here. I could quote you and pick at everything you said by putting it out of context, a tactic you employ poorly I might add, but I can't be bothered to spend the time arguing with children. I have nothing to gain from it.

    And just to add (although I didn't imply this earlier), nine years, especially at this end of your life span, is ALOT of difference.

    Just had a look on there and was wondering whats the difference between red, gold and green?

    Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon.

    I think the reds are softer compound, better performance, shorter pad lief

    Green are hard for wet or dirty conditions.

    Gold are standard sintered.

    Unless anyone can correct me on that.

    What kind of a willy are you? I'm sorry, but one, the guys made one comment about Adams ability to build wheels, who, by the way, is regarded as one of the best wheelbuilders there is, and two, a fifteen year old built both my wheels and they ain't broken yet.

    Rich

    Regarded by who exactly? Just the people on here. I think more top road riders, for example, would have heard of Pete Matthews than Adam Read. For the record, I know Adam, he's a great guy and can build wheels but I have to cringe every time someone sucks him off over the internet.

    And when did I say 15 year olds couldn't build wheels?!..

    Thanks Rich :P :D

    Yeah, you might not think that he builds the best wheels but I do. Is that ok with you? It was my opinion when I said that he builds the best wheels so somehow I don't think my opinion is wrong. ;)

    Nah, you stated that he builds THE best wheels, based purely on the one experience you have of him building your wheels. It was a pretty ignorant statement. I brought it to your attention that there may be other things outside of your knowledge so it would be foolish to come to a conclusive decision such as that, especially at such a tender age when you have such limited experience of the world. However the pair of you seem to have reacted badly to it, and disproportionately I might add, thus resulting in you both resorting to personal insults. Terrible shame.

    Carry on with your ignorance. :D

    It's Goldtec they were made by too (also known as Betd though - run by Jason Carpenter too I believe, but I think they focus on different products...).

    The original carbon forks that Giacomo and Gilles used were actually made by Fournalles and would have been stupidly expensive. The Betd forks are the ones Danny butler now uses which have a different looking crown to the Fournalles. Dave Butler told me that Betd have no plans to produce any more of these for general sale, but with a probable price tag aproaching £300 maybe they thought riders pockets wouldn't be quite that deep. Dave actually gets the carbon tubing and replaces the legs himself periodically.

    I also have purchased some of those USE forks off Ebay. Flex City, Arizona, I tell you.

    Talk to Adam Read from Tarty Bikes. He does THE best builds. :unsure: He's built both of my wheels and they're both really strong. (N)

    That so eh? I know Adam might build good wheels but why don't you get out of his virtual arse? I doubt at 15 that you know much about anything at all anyway, so it's easy for you to spout rubbish by assuming that your limited experience of the world is all there is to know.

    As building your own wheel. Take your time too, make sure you've got maybe a couple of hours spare if you've never done it before. And don't go swinging on the spoke key and over tightening anything.

    You could also have a go at stretching the spring a bit. But that's dodgy stuff if you bend it out of line though. Don't want it getting all f**karooned and wonking up inside the shell. Most people I know have stretched the spring in theirs though without too many problems, me included. My King has NEVER skipped by the way.

    I know it's not everything but I just can't get round those really, really, really shite stickers. And they can't be removed! It may ride really well and all but if Kelloggs Corn Flakes boxes were covered with pictures of big turds would you be buying them? :(
