  1. Black wheels with green rim tape. Green headset and maybe bars.
  2. Are you sure it wasn't flame red you bought? It looks like a tidy job though.
  3. I'd go for for something made of 7075 alloy if possible... Not sure I'd trust 6061 for something as abused as a crank/bb interface
  4. Was about 100yds away from my uni room when it happened. I was going quite fast so it ate my jeans to the point where I couldn't touch my right foot on the floor. It was the most exhausting 100yds of my life, and it was dark, and I was in a mugging hotspot. The photo was taken after scissoring, obviously
  5. I've got the same bike and have just shelled out on new ISIS bb & cranks. Does it still creak immediately after you've tightened it? If so you probably need new cranks at least. Otherwise, hopefully Loctite will do the trick. I've never ridden for long with loose cranks, used Loctite and for the last few weeks have been bringing an 8mm allen key for all my rides. The creaking has been getting worse despite me running them tighter and tighter. Square taper combined with soft crank alloy isn't a good combo, ISIS ***. If you are going to get new cranks, 7075 t6 alloy is what you ideally want as it's a lot stronger than 6061
  6. This more tech news than future tech, but Adobe's RC2 for Flash 10.1 on OS 10.6.3 features proper hardware acceleration for the first time. Macbook owners can now watch h264 encoded flash video without setting their laps on fire. Even the basic 9400M equipped Macbooks, Minis and iMacs can now run flawless 1080p Youtube etc without breaking a sweat. http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html Apologies if you don't give a flying **** about anything I just said and wasted your life reading it
  7. Lately I seem to be doing small taps without really meaning to...
  8. Really smooth, creative riding. Shame about the quality but a great watch
  9. I'm guessing you're looking to spend as little as possible which is why you suggested the neons and onza citrus pads... I'm running yellow Neon mod pads atm and am pretty pleased. Lots of bite with medium hold. Add some tar and they're rock solid and very loud. If I were you I'd be tempted to go for some Rockman greens. My pair's still in the packet, but I've heard lots of good things about them and the compound feels about right. Anything is going to be better than the standard black pads.
  10. They're just GRP pedals with a bit of marketing speak thrown in for good measure. But if they turn out to be decent I might be get a pair as they'er pretty damn light... and cheap.

    Helmets

    Just bear in mind that if you buy online, you might have to send it back to get a different size/model (obviosuly). Generally freeride style helmets give the best coverage/protection without being full face... I've seen the Fox Flux (on Tarty) in the flesh and was impressed. Sadly my weird shaped head means it doesn't fit
  12. Been told by the GF that there was a guy riding a trials on Britain's got talent tonight. Just skipped through the gynast/regurgiator episode on ITV player but didn't see anything. Anyone know which episode she was talking about?
  13. You absolutely can disable UAC in Vista Home Premium. I would take a screenie but I'm on my MBP.
  14. Ahhh the old white text trick. Believe it or not the music actually gets a bit loopy / housey towards the end! Nice vid

    Facebook

    For the last few days it's been asking me to log in again every few hours... anyone else noticed this?
  16. Do we need really to go there... it'll end in tears. I would definitely recommend a clean install. You get a nice clean registry (among other things) and you're less likely to run into problems in the short term as well as further down the line. It's a pretty tedious process though.
  17. I really like your style. Nice editing too.
  18. Saw this on Twitter, any way I can still listen to it?

    F1

    I just watched it and didn't see anyone crashing/exploding... EDIT: My bad
  20. There will be a temporary global warming effect, the extent of which will be determined by how much ash there actually is in the atmosphere. I just cleaned my car too
  21. They'll have a look at the moisture detector in the headphone jack to check it hasn't been for a swim, then run some diagnostics and give you a refurb one. Or even a new one if you only recently bought it. ...Unless they find out about the mods, or see that it's rooted/jailbroken From my experience, I'd be amazed if the guys on the floor are competent enough to open an iPhone correctly. I wouldn't worry.
  22. Left foot forward, goofy, right footed and right handed But I'd say my left leg is stronger than my right... Would be interesting to see if all these things are linked.... I think you favour you strongest leg. I injured my right knee a while back and still tend to put more strain on my left leg during walking/exercise etc to compensate. I think that's why I'm a lefty for trials.
