to be fair that is nice

Since it's the unspoken law, I'm posting my limey (even with it's gash onza bash, racingline rear brake makes up for that though) but honestly, sir dann'so new mod makes me moist. So does flipps homemade beast machine, I'd gladly trade my personality for either of them.

not that I can see.. It is quite old though. I'm definitely replacing it after this snap anyway

echo sl 108 tensile rear. Old echo sl model (the good ones!)
-
chai line is slightly out (very slightly) normal tension. Has been very tight in the past (due to an eccentric ffw) could be that
-
I have a spare half meter set if links from the same chain, which I then take links from and replace into the chain that goes on the bike. I always replace at least 5 links in case the surrounding links were damaged from the snap. And it's always a sheared link, the metal actually snapping, not a pin or something of that ilk

My KMC chain has snapped for the third time since February- first time I was uninjured, second time I was doing a gap to front and it snapped as I kicked, causing me to fall on my face, third (and just now) I was dropping off a high ledge, and am now covered in cuts and multiple bruising from the fall, and then the bike landing on me. This KMC is the one that has 5 star ratings everywhere- have I just got a dodgy one? I bought it from tarty after reading reviews- my chain tension is sorted (as we know) and I can't find any reason why it would snap. It's oiled, cleaned and free of rust. Am I just unlucky?

My current echo sl has 108, best I've had so far

Maybe if the iPhone sells

16 points if engagement sounds like it'll hinder everything that's just scary. I couldn't have any less than 70

You'll be back, joker? Somehow, I don't think you will be.

I put threadlock on my racingline grub screws, as they kept unwinding and the lever would run away that mod is absolute porn. I'm trying my best not to fap. It's hard (ha)

we should go drinking sometime. Well I have a lot of things to check now- interestin to see what the culprit actually is

I run my limey with intergrated tensioners- (I can hear the groans already) but no, I managed to find a way to keep constant chain tension with the tensioners, however- every once in a while, under pressure from the pedals, I feel a clunk, and the chain will go slightly slack, and the wheel will rub against my magura the tiniest amount. Spin the cranks once, it returns to normal. It's not the tensioners, or the bolts on the wheel, as I have checked these and they do not move in any way. I'm thinking it could be the freewheel, or the hub bearings? Anyone clarify me on this?

Vans/protec lid for me. As above, it gets flippin hot, but is also damn comfortable

The scale model thread? Tamiya/ air fix/ etc

I shall give it a go- (on a smaller note, how do I change my member title? I'm more if a chimp IMO)

It's me again- lacking In brakes. Limey 320, high stem, Tt highrise rolled back- perfect. I wanted to have some fun, and the idea of everything being on edge is an idea I like, if that makes sense. I discovered something though, if I bump my front wheel off something them go into rear wheel hops (so using the object I bump into to stop the bike, then immediately put pressure on the pedals) I can rear wheel hop as much as I like. When doing it from a trackstand- I sort of keep on going forwards until I loop out, because putting pressure on the pedals to lift the front up to the means I gain forwards momentum. What's the best way to get to go about brakeless rear wheel hops from a trackstand? If I have an object to stop against, fine, I can do as many as I like. But from trackstand I have issues. Any advice?

Aha! That's the puppy. Thanks now my echo sl shall be spared from further pain, they're going to snap very soon... -
If you travel 4/5 the spokes of light for ten minutes, you will age ten minutes while the people around you will age ten years, as time is relative to speed

You will age ten minutes while you travel at that speed, while because of the extreme difference in speed, (which is relative to time) everyone who isn't traveling at that speed will age 10 years. Usa in bolt will live 0.00001 of a second longer because he runs so much, and on average he is going faster than most people. I'm studying it in my physics course I'm doing at the minute, it's based on win steins theory if relativity, which no one besides him and an extremely smart p...

Sorry, as in if you travel at that speed for ten minutes, you will age that time, but because everyone else is going slower, they're time will pass on a different scale

right, how do I do it? cheers for the unnecessary information, and you must have read it to see what I was asking.... -

I think it might be that? Unsure definitely not that because the tyres in that one are pinched on the outside of the wheelbase, it's a different idea -
It has a name, can't remember it. I was out in my local park today, riding this machined rock that was perfect cube-shaped. When on top of it, it's slightly shorter than the wheel base, so the edges of the rock are pinching the tyres about 3 inches inwards from both ends of the wheel base (the center of both wheels). When trying to go from that position straight to rear wheel, the bike fell backwards from underneath me as I kicked the pedals, resulting in some shiny new scratches to forks, cranks, legs and soul. What is the move that gets from that pinched position straight to rear wheel called, and how do you do it? This photo of me describes the position of the wheels better
