  1. Moneygram is doable from the Post Office to Peru by the way. I've sent allot of money through it and haven't had an issue.

    Now thats wat i like to hear! Do you just tell them the details of the bank account your wanting to send the money to?

  2. Use western union , slot Easter and you can use them from most cash converters

    Not that easy when the nearist one is about 200 odd miles away from you.

    Found out the problem.

    Thank you for contacting Xoom Customer Service regarding your inquiry. Effective from September 29, 2010; Xoom doesn't support an international Debit/Credit Card as payment source for transactions due to a business decision. In order to send money, sender need to have an US Bank account or a US Debit/Credit Card.

  3. Yes i was waiting for another lothian comp to pop up, last one was brilliant by the way, was really enjoyable and the sections were great thanks to all the guys that helped to make them such as johny and ross. Deffo up for this one will see you guys there and hopefully i will get a 1st place again :P

    Should ride in your class then. ;)

  4. Right when ever I go to send money to Peru. It puts it in as USD and says i need to have a bank card issued by the US to transfer the money.

    Is there anyway of getting around this as im just a stupid bugger and cant see the solution that is right in front of my face?

  5. Heard (may not be true, but i heard from someone) that double cable disc isnt so good. Though £150 is alot to spend on a brake in my opinion.... Go for the hope if you can afford it, if not go for the bb7. Not sure if bb7's are the same as this but if your hope brake is set up at the tinyest angle and the tinyest bit out of place, it will be a massive fail.

    EDIT: Also the person that told me that they heard dual cable disc is bad, later got one and it was epic, so wouldnt worry about that.

    Thought you were stopping all that " I heard from my friend who had a 3rd cousin who bought a dog of a guy...." stuff?

    Had duel disk on my 24 inch. Loved it and never looked back. Once you get used to the no noise thing they're fantastic. Would recomend the duel Hope's.

  6. Hi Guys,

    Just spent all day clearing sections with me boyz and Rab. We have five sections nearly ready to go. I was hoping to get two artificial sections in the car park to give us the seven. Three routes again. I will hopefully get down in the evenings to finish them off as I am on Holidays from the 18th to the 22nd.

    Sounding good. Any pics?

  7. Nah its all good, never been touched before.

    Weird though, was in Halfords earlier looking for one and nothing would fit spent about half hour with Halfords matey opening packs of deep socket sets and nothing worked.

    Have you tried imperal(sp) size's?

  8. new frame = £250+

    New rim = £50 max?

    surly you should just change the rim?

    EDIT: sorry i know this isn't the awnser your looking for but even so.

    Want to go back to duel disk. Never got on with maggys. And I mean since I started I never got on with them.

    Basically 'Chromoly' is a series of steel that contains some Chromium and some molybdenum thus the chromoly name.

    The series begins with 41 so

    You get like 4120, 4130 (As seen in BMX) 4140 etc and others in between.

    It is stronger and harder than standard 'carbon steel'.

    I cant be 100% but I'm pretty sure it was used in BMX applications because of its wear resistance which bmx frames suffer from doing grinds and such.

    Butted tubing means the thickness of the tube wall varies along its length so for instance it may be thicker at the ends than in the middle.

    Double butting means it has 2 variations and triple butted means it has three etc.

    This allows thinner middle sections to be used and hence lower weight frames.

    Ah thanks. So would chromoly be better for trial use?

  9. Right this maggy is really starting to piss me off. So much so im going back to disk. Now this requires a new frame.

    Dont want to get another Because. Should I wait for the new Neon frame. Which it should be near the same geo as the Because. Or will I send a order off to Marnio?

    If I go for Marnio would someone please explain the difference between 4130 Chromoly and carbon steel? Also the differnce between Double and Triple Butted?
