hi
have a think about a koxx hydroxx 2 , really nice frame have a look at the geo on www.tartybikes.co.uk they ride great.
james s.
Remember I've been only riding for 3 months, spending anything over £1K is just silly.
Yeah, sure I can recommend a new Monty to you all day, but I think this is more of a money issue than anything. If you can afford a high end bike, ok, but if you can't go with what you can afford. What's your budget anyway?Sure the hydroxx is nice and all but i'll never spend that much on a bike, no matter how good I get unless I'm world champion.
Budget, £200 I can fill, £250 is to the brim and anymore is no talk. Money is there but I still have to go through the whole scratching and denting frames phase from trying big things.
I'll happily take second hand frames of the czar, lite and teams in good condition though.
-
I tried checking out, got to the point where I had to get out my plastic but cancelled cos I wanted to know what other people think of them frames.
-
Through Tarty you mean? Give them a ring or email Adam to see if they have any more. In that case, Czar might be your best bet if your deadset against an A3.
Through selectbikes, are they any good by the way? I've never ordered from them before.
So yeah I'm down to the Czar and the Lite and slightly the team cos it has a built in brake booster.
-
Out of those choices. I'd got with the Echo lite. Personally.
Very tempting the lite. Need more comments on them frames!

cool vid, good music too. good old bomfunk mc

I know for a fact the short A3, Echo Team and lite frames are lush riding frames. I have ridden all of them and they feel really nice. I have a long A3, then rode a short A3 and wish I had got one of those, but I still like my long A3 anyway. Rode a long Czar and didn't like it. Don't know if it had to do with the length or the feel of the whole bike. Also, it was quite heavy for some reason.
The A3 is the heaviest out of all my choices, I really am stuck between the Team, Lite and Czar. I ahv ebeen told the Czar didn't ride quite nice too but it's down to personally preference though. I just wish I can try all these frames first.

Hi,
Just sold my GU tp as I don't like how long it is. In its current setup, it measures 1045-1050mm. If the wheel is pushed as far in as possible on the dropouts it would be 1030mm. And it's set up as short as possible, any shorter and I won't be able to put the chain on. Or I can have the wheel in as far as possible and use some kind of sprung tensioner for the chain but it would still be 1030mm which is still too long for my liking.
I have these short mod frames in mind. Czar 07 1005mm, Echo Team 07 1015mm, Echo Lite 07 (if I can find a 4-bolt version for sale), Adamant A3 1005mm and maybe a GU LE 1020mm, Neon 20" 1000mm and Zhi ZM1/B 1005mm (looks pretty strong too).
I had a go on a Xtp 2 which was 1000mm or 1005mm and I loved how short it was, when I went back to my TP it felt so damn odd and bring up the front wheel seemed so much more effort.
What I want to ask is for the people who has ridden any of the frames above to give me some feedback on the frame they had. Like did it suit you, it was good for taps or sidehops or it just rides like poop.
Now I have only been riding for 3 months but I'm sure long frames 1030mm upwards are just not right for me so your opinions on those frames would really help me in deciding which one to get. I don't go and bash everything with my bike and I probably will never snap a frame. But I would like to know if those frames are strong. Weight wise, my TP is about the max weight I would buy on a frame but I would like something lighter.
Right now the Czar is the most likely one and becuase it's the cheapest I've seen. Or its the Echo Lite 07 if I can find a 4-bolt version for sale.
I need help in deciding on which one, as I haven't tried most of these frames and I don't want to end up buying a frame I don't like.

No, it's not against the forum rules.
EDIT: This is the information Transmission gives me for one of the current torrents (actually going at 8kbps which is pretty fast). The padlock means they know I'm 'interested and choked' which I don't understand.
I use uTorrent myself. Speed greatly depends on the number of seeders, the people uploading to you, so generally speaking the more the better. But for that torrent in the pic, it has 35 seeders but you are only connected to 14 of them and out of 14 seeders, only 8 is/was uploading to you. But at the moment the screen shot was taken, only one seeder was uploading to you. Rather slow at 8kb/s.
It's hard to say how fast it will download, most torrent programs has the option to let you choose your uploading speed (or their total upload speed=you download speed). Let me put it this way, you can be connected to 100 seeders whos upload speed are say 30kb/s (and assuming all 100 is uploading to you), but all of them has turned their upload speed to just 1kb/s, all you gonna get is a max download speed of 100kb/s when you have a potential download speed of 2000kb/s or 20Mb. But this will only go as high as your internet speed.
Seeders come and go so that also affect your speed. Also the seeders with yellow bars have not completed the torrent themselves. Even if they are uploading to you at 100kb/s lets say, once they have uploaded what they have downloaded (say 50%), your download speed will drop until you connect to new seeders beyond the 50%. And yes, turn your upload speed down or off, you download speed will go up.
Atleast you torrent isn't dead. Some lame seeders stop at 90% up but never 100% which means you never be able to complete it.
New, popular torrents should be no problem. Older, less popular torrents, you probably won't get a very good download speed unless you are connected to some dedicated uploaders.
Hope it helps!

Maan, That nVidia case is sick! I know its the same as mine, looks good with the green though. Ill get some pics of mine later when its in bits for its monthly dust blasting session and to turn the 2 roof fans round.
Only thing with you case though is that it doesnt have the 2 side fans on the panel. The one where the window is on mine helps quite abit. Some 140mm fans will be going in soon, takes about 9 or something stupid.
I have dust filters on all my in fans, 4 ins, 2 outs, all 120mm. And my PSU is not modular so I have this chunk of cable covering the bottom fan hole and will get cramped when I get my second GTX 260. I have to dust my insides out soon, fine dust still gets through the filters.
I haven't seen the nvidia version with 2 side fans, show me!

Sometimes the net runs really slow and has a huge ping (600+) and the net speed can come down to 600 when it should be at 4800.
All i need to do is turn off the router and turn it back on and it's 100% fine. Leave it for a few days ( or 10 mins sometimes) and it goes back to shit mode.
Why is that?
You should google that one, there a loads of things that can affect your ping.
Keeping it legal and free, you can't go wrong with AVG free anti-virus and Windows Firewall. Provided you use Firefox and not IE to browse the web and your half sensible when you visit pornsites or download dodgy files then you'll have no problems whatsoever.I second AVG, been using it for like 6-7 years? I use Zonealarm's free firewall instead of the Windows Firewall. And yes Firefox over IE anyday.

DS is the original version which you generally can;t get/wouldnt want to get anymore, is GBA game compatible
DS lite is the refined, better, smaller version, clearer, brighter screen weighs less etc, is GBA game compatible
DSi is supposed to be an improvement on this, its
the same size as the litethinner than the lite but slightly bigger in every other dimension. but has a bigger screen (but same resolution) which meansyou dont get the GBA compatibilityless battery life, no gba slot so the bottom half can be slightly thinner than DS, but it does have a built in camera, 0.3 megapixel, and a memory card slot which you can download and buy retro gameboy games for from the DSi online shop which is coming out sooish.Generally about £100 new for the DS lite but bundles are around £120 like others have said.
Because they use carts not discs they're universally compatible, so you can play jap games on english machines etc
no reason really for ordering a foreign one though to be honest.
except DSi exclusive software will be region locked just to let you know.

nah, general rage will do it aswell! i got really angry after i found my ex was cheating on me, so i decided to vent my anger by punching the monitor repeatedly... wish i was insured for that!

Punched the wrong thing there?

Are they weird and different if you get them from hong kong? compared to england?
cos i cant find them for cheaper than 120 online, im sure im looking in the wrong place.
No.
Games, get a thing called R4. You can download any game you want for the price of one retail game. If you are OK with the whole piracy thing. I have one myself, save me so much money.

It's really not hard to not break a laptop, just dont throw it about.
Unless you have super computer rage, why would you?

My MacBook Pro has been okay for the last 2.5 years, went to uni and back in my bag not in a case usually 2 or 3 times a week for 2 years.
Cos you paid so much for it you will be stupid not to take good care of it. But they are good quality builds.

I may sound like a real n00b here but if i took it to my local computer shop and asked them to put 4gb of ram in it would that make it faster or not?
You won't notice much different in speed, when you add more ram vista will automatically use up a little bit more ram for more processes in the background that are more frequently used so you might notice the difference that way. And it really isn't that noticeable.
But, the vista that comes with it is most likely 32-bit version which can use a limited amount of ram up to about 3.1GB ish so you potentially have 900MB wasted. If you want more ram I would only have 3GB max.
More ram basically means being able to do more things at once or lots of the same things at once such as having 20 high solution opened in photoshop.
For what you are doing its perfectly fine. Don't even bother trying to play new games on it.

Anything that's Core 2.
Just the processor yes, as Core 2's are 64 bit. But depends if the other hardware can take advantage of the 64 bit processor.
I've had Vista for ages now! Only thing I don't like is the networking stuff, but I've never really bothered to learn how different it is compared to XP.I like it though.
Networking on vista is easy. What were you having problems with?
I like Vista, missed XP though.
I run a triple boot PC, Vista Ultimate x86 on one hard disk and Vista Ultimate x64 on another. XP on an old IDE hard disk, can't seem to get it to boot on a SATA II disk.
I use x86 version mostly, web, music, work etc etc and x64 version for games and photo/video editing as I can use the full amount of my 4GB ram, where as I'm capped to just over 3GB on x86 version. XP......it's there just incase.
I haven't had any hassle with drivers, except for one of my USB wifi adapters but I am connected with a ethernet cable now instead.
Don't need atleast 3GB to run vista, unless you have LOADS of process running in the background. I had a old machine with 1GB ram and a P4 3GHz and it ran Vista Ultimate fine but I did turn off all the unnessary processes and it only used just under 450mb of ram not doing anything.
And to you next question. Yes for any reason. Laptops are more problematic in my opinion. Since you carry it around with you and have a tendancy to drop things get the insurance. Most problems on laptops are software based and if its hardware based it is most likely inherent. But some idiots use their laptops on their laps, beds and block the cooling holes and end up frying the motherboard. Make sure you don't do that.
And becuase you can't take out a bit of harware to see if its not working right, having insurance helps if you don't know how to do it.

Going rear disc. You can have the A3 for the right price.
Long or short? Might be interested, I've after something a bit shorter than my tp.

I started on a Tank years ago. Then got one of the older T-Rex's. Hated it, so I saved up some money and bought my A3. Will be building up an 07' Monty 221TI as soon as I get some Isis cranks and a rear Hope.
A3 to ti? I like the A3 more

Theres a xtp2 over in the sale section for £215 with bb and guessing the bash too.
I can but I have to dish out a bit more for a rear disk hub and rear disc brake which would push my budget to the limit unless I sell some other things.
