  1. I have yet to find a comfortable helmet for my head shape. I have quite a big head (24"), but the front to back and side to side dimensions aren't the right ratio for any helmet I have ever tried. They are always tight front and back, with a bit of a gap on the sides. So wearing a helmet for any period of time gets quite uncomfortable. I want to get back into riding trials after a few years of doing bugger all and want to avoid the helmet headache. I much prefer dirt jump/skate style helmets. Unfortunately all my local bike shops predominantly stock roadie and XC helmets, so I am unable to try out a load of different helmets. Can anyone relate to my head shape issue and have any helmet recommendations?
  2. That was cool. I like riding spots like that one in the first half. So much to play on in such a small area.
  3. My wing mirror glass is coming unstuck from the plastic backing. Any recommendations for an adhesive to stick it back on?
  4. @Ali C "I guess I'll enjoy paying £36 a month for my old Iphone 5s.....god I hate contracts!" That's the reason I get sim only contracts and buy my own phone. One that is usually last years model to save a few pennies. It's more money up front, but a lot cheaper in the long run.
  5. I just looked at my car. It's funny looking back and seeing all the oil leak advisories. My engine is still a colander at heart.

    Films!?

    @Rusevelt Batman has a suit like that in The Dark Knight Returns, where him and Superman also have a fight. Well worth a watch. @bikeperson45 I really want to see Deadpool, but I hate watching comedies in the cinema.
  7. I see it's not necessary now, but I found the site I have done it on before. Incase anyone ever needs it https://www.misk.com/kb/find-email-provider
  8. What is the business domain? I've had to track an email provider before.
  9. Does your work have a website? If so, the email might be part of the hosting package of the website. Type the web address in here http://www.whoishostingthis.com/ And see if the hosting provider has webmail login/ info.
  10. I do have sympathy for suicide. Things must be bad to drive them that far, be it mental illness, terminal illnes or whatever. It's things like drug overdoses and drink driver deaths I don't have sympathy for.
  11. Do these sports have a minimum weight limit on their bikes? If so, extra weight here can be lost else where I suppose. And it's suprising how powerful small motors and batteries are these days. Even a minute or 2 of a bit more power could be quite an advantage. Especially nearer the end of a race, when everyone is tired.
  12. Watched this yestarday on facebook on my phone, I had to come back for a seconed viewing on a proper screen. I loved it. I may have to make a few trips down cornwall this summer. I want to get back into riding after doing f**k all in the last 3 years or so.
  13. On my way home from town, I noticed my heater occasionally going cold. Thought it was probably air in the system. Popped the bonnet when I got home and the car car dropped absolutely all of it's coolant. I hope no damage has been done.
  14. @isitafox @Luke Rainbird Haha. It was a box I had in the garage for ages. I am also pretty sure that the box came from someone else and not from Luke himself. So that box has been around the block a few times.
  15. Looks good! Could do with some black spray paint on the forks. And if it was mine, I would have the bars tilted back a bit.

    Decisions...

    HS33s are still the most popular. However, a lot of the 24" boys use disc brakes on the back these days.

    New suicide squad trailer is up. I think it's the film I am looking forward to most right now.

    New Hope Hub

    I really liked the gunsmoke colour, so that's a shame.

    Although it wouldn't be my choice, I think the orange looks quite nice. The green seal looks a bit unusual though.
  20. I would advise against a longer lever for now. The brake should be perfectly adaquete with a 2 finger lever. The problem is somewhere else. If it were me, I would take the brake off, double check the bleed and check slosely for leaks . Make sure the pads and rim are really clean. And then set it up, making sure it is perfectly square. Give it a little bit of time to bed in and see if it has improved.

    What about the second one?
  22. I had a play on the calculator and 22:16 and 18:12 seem to be the closest.
  23. I find this very useful when I try to get a tensionerless setup. http://www.machinehead-software.co.uk/bike/chain_length/chainlengthcalc.html
