  1. Hi, sorry if this has been asked before, can't find anything that answers my question. Right, my rear brake will hold and stop me when moving forward and landing on an object. But the issue I am having is it that it will slip backwards every time. Is this a case of me not pulling the brake lever hard enough? Or is there anything I can do to stop it slipping back? The brake setup I am using is the following:

    -Hs33 '05 with brake fluid

    -4-bolt heatsink brake booster

    -Phat pads with cnc backing

    -light grind

    Any help would be much appreciated. Is it worth me trying different pads? If so what pads would you recommend.

  2. Get yourself a Horned frog. Easy to keep and look after as they pretty much stay in the same place waiting for food, they occasionally move to their water bowl but not very often. Mine is now feeding on medium-large mice. She has mainly been fed on mice since she was born. Here is a picture:

    She is the size of a clenched fist.

    If you were brave enough you could jump into the world of dart frogs but I wouldn't recommended it if you have had no experience with frogs before.

    Heres my fully planted setup for my darts:

  3. Hi, I got an Ipod touch for my birthday. I have one word of warning for you people:

    When buying songs to listen to buy them on Itunes on the your computer not Itunes on the actual touch itself as I've downloaded a few songs/albums which have now disappeared. Therefore have gone forever(I think) I think they go when you sync the ipod to your computer, thats what I've read on the internet.

    Anyone else had problems on their touchs? Other than that I love mine!

  4. I've been lingering over this thread since the start but didn't have a clue what to write! It really has made an impact on my life reading and thinking about what happened. I never spoke to Oli but read many of his threads/car builds as they were very interesting. He seemed a very bright lad and is such a great loss. I really feel sorry for family and friends I can't begin to imagin how it feels! The forum is such a great community, I mean I don't ride anymore and haven't for a few years yet I check most days on the forum before I go to bed to see whats happening.

    I will definatly donate some money towards the mini thats for sure!!

    Hope everyone affected finds a way to over come this loss.

  5. Got my first tattoo on thursday. I drew the design from various images i found and then let the artist do his thing with the shading in. I'm very happy with it, the picture doesn't do it much justice. It's on my left inner bicep :)

  6. As in use it as a tv, like use a tv card in the computer. I don't want an actual tv in my room I want to use my computer monitor for it. Im not 100% sure what I would need to do to get it to work but i guess it would just mean plugging in a tv card with an ariel then connecting it to the monitor?

  7. Right, my monitor has decided to play up so I'm going to buy a new one. Would anyone be able to give me advise to help me get a monitor that is decent for under £200 if possible. I would like it to be around 20" but i would also like to use it as a TV. Does anyone on here also use their monitor for TV use? If so is it worth it?

    Cheers, Adam

  8. I live in Gloucester, luckily I'm not affected by means of my house being flooded as we are not near the river seven but we have bowsers(sp) as the water has been turned off and will be off for a week minimum, not so fun collecting water because kids are destroying them (heard of kids draining them out, pissing in them(not quite sure how true), builders have also been using water for building! Oh but the girlfriend lives right next to the river seven and she has 10" of water in the house. Here is a photo from the girlfriends window, in the background (top left corner) you can see Gloucester football club, the signs are at the top of the stands so you can see how deep it is.

    Many areas near me are majorly flooded as most of you probably have seen on the news/papers etc. Tewksbury must be the worst hit places!

  9. Right, i have had my magura mounts on my monty frame helicoiled to M6. All of the holes were pretty much cross-threaded (the frame is about 4-5 years old). So what I need now is some M6 bolts that i can use, i would like them to sit in the magura mount the same as M5's do (in the counter-sunk seating). I will need four M6 x 25 also i would like two M6 x 45 bolts for a booster. If anyone could point me in the right direction for some, or if anyone would be able to sell/send me some i would be very great full.

    Cheers

  10. Hey, a problem has accured where i have hardly any sound when watchin a video on the web even with the volume on my speakers turned up fully, but if i watch a video in the standard media player it will be fine and at normal sound levels. I've done a anti virus scan incase it was caused by a virus and i have windows service pack 2 with firewall but still can't figure out the problem :angry: If anyone could shed any light over the matter it would be most appreciated :turned:

    Cheers Adam
