May be tempted if I can make loads of progress over summer, and get someone to share petrol costs.

Funny that you brought this up, I was thinking about reviving the "picture of your dinner" thread earlier due to the massive mound of food I created.

My flatmate locked his car keys inside his 1989 Chevrolet dayvan today. It took us about 5 minutes to safely break in and retrieve the keys.

True, but there's plenty rust at the bottom of the doors, rear arches, bottom of boot etc. Might just have to do a crude paint job...

I've never seen such a rusty focus. Thankfully it only cost me £400. I'm wondering how to best disguise/treat the rust without spending loads of time on such a cheap car. Would a dodgy paint match be better than a black strip around the edges? Suggestions please.

Hamilton. I usually just ride around the uni/college area. Give me a shout if you're around. My riding has completely gone to sh*t though!

I'm not too far away but I don't have a car so can't easily travel.

That explains a lot. Such style!

Graphical design or like engineering design?

That stack makes me cringe. Out of interest how did it become coined as "the letter"?

Two tabs always open for me too, but I don't think it's just this forum. I use Iron, it's basically a version of Chrome. The only issue I still get on this forum is this strange blank banner at the bottom of every page that constantly has a loading sign, as if it's trying to load a picture. I also get two "Jump to page" boxes.

I'm game.

It's not as light as I expected. A 26" 2.2 Rubber Queen is just 10 grams more (apparently).

Edit: I think it is the king of dunce.

That forefoot running technique is very interesting, I'll have a go at it soon. Cheers. I think I'll concentrate on fartlek when I get back into running. I got too obsessed with improving my times last year which could be what led to the issues.

I have a vaguely related question. Are there any tips for going easy on your knees? Sounds odd, but both my mate and myself have suffered knee issues from casual long(ish) distance running. I haven't been running for ages because I don't want to damage my knees any more!

Awesome. I nearly made a fast and furious spoof with some mates. We were going to concentrate on the silly amount of gear changes that occur in the races. IIRC Brian changes 16 times in one race! Edit: So yeah, more gear changes.

If you compress the fork while standing above or beside the bike then pull it up quickly you should be able to lift the front wheel off the ground before the fork has fully rebound. Not sure if this is the case for both xc and downhill bikes...

Pointless fact: All the people on the planet would fit into an area barely 32 miles by 32 miles in size. (A little over 1000 square miles or 1/8 the size of Wales.) Alternatively, spread out evenly we would each get an area the size of 12 football fields. And 70% of us would drown, 10% would live in forests and another 10% would live in deserts.

Say you go into a casino and play roulette. You put £100 on red. If you lose then you put £200 on red. If you lose again put £400 on red. Then £800 etc etc. (Doubling each time) Eventually you must win, and each time you do you get the money back that you've put down so far + £100. So you always gain £100 on top. My question is: There must be something that stops this tactic from working, otherwise it'd be too easy, so what is it? Edit: I think I know the answer now

I like wheelies. Most of my riding is still utterly terrible though. I like to blame it on my currently useless rear brake. Any tips welcome, I know I need to preload more. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHqvcq_Pm_c&context=C4de7952ADvjVQa1PpcFNAmpgm9GiVsHiG3X0mXzY7kZxP81loyss=

Bit late to the party but I love that copper/brown colour, looks classy.

How does the rise of your bar and stem combo feel? Did you used to have it lower?

This isn't a film but deserves to be shared. Some really impressive animation here.

This is what confuses me. Random note: My calculator requires 11 decimal places (0.33333333333) for that number to add up to 1 rather than 0.9999.... 10 decimal places still gives 0.9999.....
