	Spider-man has no Morgan Freeman.... :/
 - 
	Looks better than the last spider-man films. Most anticipated film of the summer though? No way! Clearly Batman is.
 - 
	Is it the end caps that keep coming loose or the skewer? And is the wheel wobbling from inside the hub or is it wobbling in the dropouts?
 - 
	The qr end caps have rubber o-rings that hold them in. Are they damaged or missing?
 - 
	Yeah I agree but It could be made annonymous again I imagion.
 - 
	Since stuff is being upgraded and such, I thought I would share a suggestion I had in mind. I don't know if it has been discussed before, but I think it would be miles better if aswell as the "like" button, there was a "dislike" button so that the crap, unhelpfull replies are easier to pick out like all the good ones are. And the rep on people's profiles will actually mean something, instead of always being in the positive figures as they will get negative rep for bad replies. And mabye display is like the feedback, with the total of positive, the total of negative and the % of positive. I think there just being a "like" button on it's own is a bit pointless.

	The forum was raped yesterday, so I am guessing it hasn't been fully fixed yet. The bits down the right side (recent topics, watched topics...) bit is not there for me either.

				Are Tnn Backings Supposed To Be A Pain To Get On The Piston
Mikee replied to Timmeh-Time's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
It's the black ring you can see in the hole of the backing on the right. It sounds to me like you aren't getting them onto the pip of the slave properly. When they aren't lubed up, it is sometimes tricky to get them over the fat part of the pip. - 
	
	
				Are Tnn Backings Supposed To Be A Pain To Get On The Piston
Mikee replied to Timmeh-Time's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
you may need to put a drop of lube on the o-ring to help it slide on. They are a bit harder to get on then the clips on the plastic backings. - 
	What brake is it? Did you roll the diaphragm on properly making sure that you didn't trap any air underneath it? I also find that air can sometimes get trapped that doesn't come out when fluid moves through it. So I usually give the lever and caliper a couple taps when air bubbles stop coming out and quite often when I continue to bleed after doing this, more air bubbles will come out.

	You could try cutting a slot in it and using a screw driver to undo it. If that fails, you could try a left handed drill bit as they sometimes bite and undo it, or drill a hole through it and use an easy out tool. If you don't have the confidence the start drilling it out (or if someone else doesn't share a better idea) take it down to your local engineer and see what they would charge to remove it. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/disc_brake_spares/hope_torx_rotor_bolts_set_of_6/c110p344.html These bolts will do the trick.

	So Kony is a bad boy, but this campaign is trying to push the wrong solution forward. I guess I won't be supporting it then.
 - 
	Wait a minute... If Kony is making the boys into soldiers for his rebel group and this invisiblechild organisation is buying guns for the army there and want military from other countries to help to fight this rebel group, Won't they be gunning down all the boys that haven't managed to run away? Or am I missing something?

	I had a Juicy 3 once and I thought it just wasn't good enough for trials. Try and get a BB7 rather than a BB5. You get more adjustment.
 - 
	Cheers guys. I didn't. Mark W did. I guess with a grinder. It rides very well. After only a short time riding it, I noticed that it is a lot easier to spin and manual than my old fourplay.
 - 
	Here she is, after a busy weekend stripping off the paint and respraying it. I have had a nice little play on it this afternoon and I am liking it a lot more than my Mk1 fourplay. The paint came out a little lighter than expected but I think it looks pretty. A big thanks to Mark W for the frame.

				Why Has My Rb Lever Cracked On The Lever Blade?
Mikee replied to Laurence--Trials's topic in Trials Chat
 - 
	I agree. I don't think it will go any further than the people who own and make alot of money off of the sites. But then I don't think they should serve jail time. I think they should be made to police what is being uploaded more, remove as much pirated stuff as they can and ban IPs of repeat offenders. Surely there is a way they could do that. Like youtube do with removing videos and music from videos that violate copyright. I still think it is probably more about control and censorship then piracy.
 - 
	I think there is a hidden agenda of having more power/control. The internet is a powerful tool and I think they want more control of it like they do with television. Alternate news on the internet for example I heard was more popular then maintstream media now, especially in the US as not many believe them anymore. I think this piracy lark is just the beginning of a much bigger censorship of the internet. They want more control and I don't know how they are getting away with it. They have been doing it for the past 10 years now. Has anyone heard of the NDAA that was passed on new year? It is outrageous!

	Here are two closer pics of what I have done. It won't let me attach them properly so here is a link to them. http://s889.photobucket.com/albums/ac93/mikeeg_999/

	No it doesn't, there is a good 10-15mm gap. Basically what I did was take out the original spring from the tensioner and made another spring out of a spoke but coiled it the other way around to make it push up. I had a zip tie there aswell at the time as I had just made it and thought that I should have something to catch it if my spring failed so I didn't crash and coud still ride temporarily. It works fantasticly. I could get a close up picture if you would like. It is a piece of cake to take the wheel off with it as it just springs up against the chainstay, it isn't wrapped around the axle like a spoke tensioner which makes it abit tricky sometimes and the bits needed are still available.
