didn't the guy's in the news mix it with other substances? I hate the way it was broadcast- 'they didn't know what they were taking, the goverment should have banned it' - what a joke if they were already users (of other drugs) then they know the score to an extent and it was their choice to throw it up their nose or whatever alcohol and nicotine (two of the most destructive drugs ever) are all i need......

Teenage Angst Communal Agony Aunt Thread

So long as you don't mind a little bit of leather and S&M, win -
But the riding is very niche, mongoose don't really make a bike for people who would be most imprssed by those moves. And although that video is class and he has some unfathomable ability to destroy with whatever two wheeled object he picks up, its not ground breaking like mr Mac, so won't raise the bar as high as danny did for inspired and tarty and the sport in general. however i love the fact he's riding what he wants, on the bike he chooses and on how he wants to ride. Reminds me of a mate who just made me laugh so much on bmx due to his obscure techy lines and techy weird tricks!

Correct, being a man however, i didn't need to look at any of the paper crap. Started lacing the disk side with the spokes i'd comapred and found the same as the previous build. I got to the non disk side (still 3x), realised i had made a boo boo. So I checked the order and realised the added info slip, which was enlightening. (thanks tarty) I subsequently went 'aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh! it makes sense' - *throws away paper slip and cracks on with build*

yup, but i CAN manual the dream was on a hill near mine prob 5-600 metres, set the manual and never had to pump/correct it in the dream but i can already manual it on the trials and on the bmx, my mate does it brakeless which is terrifying as you're easily doing 30mph at the end in a narrow street.
-
ahhhh! this would explain why i found the spokes tarty sent for my front wheel build were too short on the non disk side!!! Ended up running it in this manner (3xdisk and radial non disk) and its perfectly fine, just felt odd building it after years of crossing spokes!

The AK is odd, it doesn't have a patent, mr Klashneckoff used to live solely on his russian army pension (possibly a single loaf of bread?). He made no profit from it at all, plus its been altered and reproduced everywhere so they'd avoid any patent easily which is odd. another great one, which i'd be worshipped everywhere for.... BEER!!! -

zip ties sealed bearings (concept not the particulars) seen bearings costing £10,000 so imagine the real world royalty!!! -
Depending on use/aggressiveness of the grind, they last a few weeks/months (check the wiki for details of how) The echo rim i own has recieved had three medium grinds in its nearly 2 year life, (i am light so brake isn't working too hard) but its not got any significant change in thickness. Ignore all the additive crap, its no better for the bike then it is for your body, but good pads and a light grind=win!

best service i've ever encountered, in cycling and in other business. very efficient whilst still being personal and accessible, they answer the phones promptly and help out if you have a query so glad to hear they're reaping the rewards of such an excellent business! also i live in the south west where the royal mail/couriers hate driving as its got shite access, yet they are NEVER late

Bought the album last summer, really impressive.

Really like that, however the white spokes do remind me of those old school finger bike things as they stand out loads. mind you I'm still a fan and i quite like the colour, its different and the build compliments it. good work boss

my mate got pulled when on a break from work (doing overtime so 7pm), thus had a stanley in his pocket and no I.D. plus the xr 400 he was riding was no way legal at the time.(he'd raced enduro over the weekend). he was stopped and questioned in a narrow busy part of plymouth, as there was no kickstand on the bike, he had to lay the bike on its side on the pavement, as he'd been told he couldn't stay on the seat, so he sat on its side and ate his lunch. Then when it leaked fuel everywhere from the breather pipes he told the copper it was water (his bikes air cooled). got away with that one as well. Then the police asked if he had anything potentially harming on him, out came stanley... the copper believed he was at work so let that slide too. eventually they section 59'd him though. which was mildly deserved. i laughed at the stories but don't condone it and he deserved his ban, can't get away for ever!

apparently, willing sometrhing to happen isn't a sure fire method, sometimes money is involved

get pulled on the motorbike as an almost regular occurence, got stopped, details, bike, cross examined, thern had the copper recommend a good upgrade and my new motor, which is the least legal and most obnoxious i've hardly ever been pulled on!!, (its good to be on the road its just the minor details of the laws may not be fulfilled). also bald tyre- doman and skoze are right to grill, everytime i get on the bike i check my bro's and dads car because i know they don't check regularly. there's a reason there is a law about it!! also got followed from plymouth to whitsand beach by a traffic unit, oooops, i was riding like a tool if i'm honest but in the end all they gave me was a grilling about the fact i've no speedo, (ironically a traffic offence but now an MOT requirement!!)

freeze duvet_ get it damp, then place it in the freezer, leave for several hours/all night/a day. should come out nice and solid and square nb don't do it to down feather duvets, expensive mistake but majorly amusing!
-
