I thought Primark were all about the child labour, hence why it's bad to shop there?

Uh... What?!

I would have thought if something like that had happened, we'd know about it via one of the people on the forum who know him personally, rather than some random american on youtube.

Topshop/man, New Look girls (check out the Disco range), Primark, etc.

Eclat Complex unpadded and some duct tape wrapped around the post to make it fit, sorted

Ah haha other way round I dunno if he's still looking but try PMing Rob/Mitch as he was after a roadie.

See, I'm too lazy to do that

Nooooooo!! Should have helicoiled it! Looks nice though man.

Yes Bedding in is the process of using the hub for a few hundred miles in regular conditions, eg on an xc bike, just putting the miles into it to get all the splines worn (bedded) in to each other, if you don't do this you could end up killing your hub riding trials on it. Check out "Tarty Adams King Service" vid if you can find it. Ideally you just wanna take the drive shell off every few months, clean the splines with a toothbrush and make sure everything is lightly lubed. Once a year or so send it off to Tarty to get them to service it, and you'll be fine.

Yes slash boredom and trying to be useful.

I'm with these two. Good bike to start on and get your legs so to speak.

Yeah but in fairness everything except the rims and frame is good.

Seems quite expensive to me considering you're going to have to spend quite a lot on brakes.

Well Mark rides BMX, so he probably uses them on that.

But yeah in all seriousness get a longer stem, an of the following would be good, depending on your budget, Try-All 180x35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=29 TMS 170x35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=29 Viz Forged 175x35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=29 Echo SL 175x30/185x35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=29 Bars you'll want something like Monty/Try-All/Trialtech/Viz, again, depends on your budget There's plenty of stuff in here http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/search.php?category_id=138 check out the Monty 219, Rockman 7046, Monty 221, Try-All Rage, Rockman 7075, Viz Pro720, and any one of those will be fine. Personally if you're on a budget, then I'd go for the Try-All/TMS stem, and Monty 219 bars

Can't she just explain the situation?

It's probably worth it for this line alone, Which is complete and utter gold!

Before people jump to conclusions, how has she ended up in this situation?

Well I joined twitter about 2 years ago, it's just now all the celebs are on it it's grown hugely, won't be long until they all get bored and leave the actual users on there to get on with things. I think twitter is great, purely for the resources, as has been mentioned in the other thread in chit-chat.

Exactly. So many links, articles, resources, textures, etc. that it means I have to check my RSS much less frequently because I get everything via twitter. Also a good way to get critique.

Pretty much, if you plan on going that big you can't do it fast because there's too much of a risk of getting a blowout and f**king your ears for good, which is exactly what happened to my friend Beth, she tried to go from like 30-35 too fast and her ear pretty much fell apart, had to get it sewn back together on the NHS and now has a saggy earlobe with a hole in it and will have for the rest of her life.

Errm... not that you know this but I actually considered getting my ears pierced and stretching them a few years ago, so I did a bit of research, and every site I went on said to wait like... 6-8 weeks between stretching. Also a number of my friends have stretched ears, a couple of them probably somewhere between 30-50mm, so don't think I know nothing about it you cocky little shit. Yes it's physically possible to do it overnight, it obviously depends on your pain threshold and how well your body can heal, but in the long run it's going to do irreparable damage like Tom said about scar tissue in your ear lobe meaning they wont be able to be downsized.

About 8.2-8.5 I reckon.

Retarded attitudes from people such as Prawn saying and ignorance from members such as Mat Smith, who doesn't wish to take experienced members' sound advice had just made it f**king stupid. At the end of the day, if you don't like something, fair enough, you don't have to say that you want to beat them to death, that's completely ridiculous, and so f**king ignorant.
