  1. I expect a BMX forum somewhere saw a post along the lines of " Trials riders have finally copped on - Drilled Rims ."
  2. Does open up a lot of frame possibilities for die hard V-brake afficionados like me. any ideas on weight ?
  3. Flatspotted tyre , :) . It does look dodgy indeed , I had a similar thing with a Schwalbe SPACE 2.35 . I simply removed the tyre entirely , kinda massaged / stretched the affected area and reseated carefully on the rim . Incidentally , ( off topic ) Loving the blue valve cap , I'm such a sucker for blue bike bits :"> . With what manufacturer's tubes are those supplied ?
  4. True , it's entirely subjective , and largely related to what you're used to . One crucial distinction , however is between effectiveness and "feel. " My current rear set up ( an XT lever operating a V-Brake ) feels spongy and unresponsive at the lever , but offers plenty of controllable stopping power . Feels crappy - works great . A review is only one individual's opinion , and there are further factors like set up and intercompatability of rim / pads etc . I know full well that the pros all run Magura HS33s , but I'm not gonna change what "feels" best for me , just 'cause it's popular. If I trust the brake setup , I'll stick with it .
  5. Return to Castle Wolfenstein . ( Online Multiplayer.) Massively addictive and absorbing game . I really enjoy cooperating with people I've never met to achieve strategic objectives . Interestingly , despite being themed on warfare and involving furious fire-fights , there's always a really friendly vibe between players . I'd be interested if anyone else here plays it , if so I'm called Denethor , and can be found splattered across the walls on the Krynn and B.A.D servers . Rejected many invitations to join clans , and tend to choose supporting roles ie: Medic , Engineer . Don't bother with Enemy Territory , it's RTCW's poorer cousin . I'm devoting increasingly much time to the game , I actually found myself watching a war film and thinking : L337 ! Pwnzorrd t3h n00bs !1One1!! :"> .
  6. QUOTE : "Don't worry, mine's not old anyway" L O L ! Don't worry , Pedigree , I was just generally curious , I fully trust you / yours .
  7. " 10 While handling large knives in the Kitchen Dept, ask an assistant if he knows where the anti-depressants are located. " Great post , entertained me on a very boring night shift . Thanks . :)
  8. An X.C or a bulb ? Just curious , because I'm getting scared off X.C's by all these problem posts .
  9. Nice to hear from our members in more exotic climes , although as you say Mr.Tweek , it'll be a disadvantage when it comes to servicing by U.K based companies . I'm kinda concerned here , because I've just bought a ( used ) Hope X.C rear , and am curious if this reliability problem is common . I'll be watching this thread closely . I'm sure one of our more technically minded members will offer useful advice / insight . Good luck with it .
  10. I thought I'd find a legitimate use for this one day... :)
  11. True precognition implies knowledge of an event you could not possibly have forseen . You were aware of the recent addition to your music collection . Don't get me started on paranormal vibes...
  12. This had me wincing , Uber sketchiness ! Great photographs , as you say captures the action fine .
  13. Great shots , how the Hell can those be better than my standalone camera ? Damn cheap Japanese rubbish ! P.S Yay ! Go BASE !
  14. Not mine , but extremely sexy :
  15. Oh My God , Andyroo ! I feel kinda embarrased for posting mine , now . Truly awesome technical work . The cow and the motorbike show great use of textures ( the shiny chrome etc ...) Awesoome , dude .
  16. Thought I'd ressurect this thread with a poorly photographed drawing of mine . Damn , I want a scanner !

    New artwork

    From the album: Stuff + Things

    New sketch , poorly photographed .
  18. Not wearing them , are you ? :lol:
  19. Like scunny said , what's he doing ? Looks like a " helicopter drop " to me . Awesome picture either way .
  20. Complex . You see , these people gave their lives so that we CAN ride and be free , and do as we choose . You should see it as the people to whom the memorial was erected would welcome it , but your own sense of dignity should prevent you .
  21. The chain is actually coming off the lower jockey wheel ? Weird . That can only mean bent Mech , or Derailleur hanger . You might want to look at your chainline too , but I doubt that's the problem , 'cause that would cause the chain to miss the sprockets , not have problems lower down . How's the chain itself ? Stiff link , or damaged section , perhaps ? Let us know how you get on , I'm kinda curious about this one .

    Riddle

    The fishmonger said to the signwriter " I wanted less space between FISH and AND , and AND , and Chips . The "and" in capitals is the one that is written on the sign .Do I win ? (Y)
  23. Really distaseful , yukk ! (Y) That said , Holland has some weird stuff , it's common to put hundreds and thousands ( those little chocolate things ) on sandwiches .
  24. I'm with Tomm on this one , the BASE is an excellent frame for the money , I've extolled it's many virtues in other threads . Suffice to say : Strong , obedient on the back wheel , and reasonably light . Kinda in between geometry too , giving it a streety feel , while retaining a longish top tube .
