Yep, I'm using them now. Just what Zoopython said - amazing in the dry but they're rubbish in the wet.

Yep, this is the best thread I've had to close in NMC today!

Well, for starters I wouldn't tell them that's what you're doing. And unlocking it invalidates your warranty. Like RR said - if you let iTunes update the phone software, it breaks it (although it is fixable). But if you're not that stupid, there are no problems.

How much is it? You can buy my copy for less

Yes, bipolar = manic depression. You're probably right. Without being too matter-of-fact (this is his Dad we're talking about), I would assume that the reason he thought he could stay up for two weeks was because he wasn't in his right mind. It would be quite typical of someone in a manic phase to do something like that. Then again, sleep is supposed to be important for your mental health and if you're susceptible to mental health problems (you may not know you are) then perhaps lack of sleep could be the last straw.

Oh you're out of the cast? You're not going to lose your foot, I just meant that minging smell that people in a cast get when they haven't been able to wash their leg for weeks. Stop being so melodramatic

Doesn't that just mean you've had it in a cast so long that your skin is all decomposing and developing that lovely vinegar smell?

Is it? How is it any different to something like TVlinks which got shut down a few days ago?

Haha, that's terrible! I hate fisheyes at the best of times, let alone when they're home made and even worse quality.

That sucks. I get annoyed if it takes me longer than 3-4 minutes to fall asleep. HTH

It's really annoying to have to close these topics all the time. Read the rules!

Surely though the problem with cranks breaking is a quality control issue, not from over-use. I reckon any decent crank will last fine, as long as there aren't defects in the material. I don't understand why people don't use Middleburns any more

I thought he just did the work - I didn't think he saw a penny from the sale of any of them? I might be wrong.

99% sure it isn't possible, I've tried. Stupid hotmail.

I miss Joel

Dunno, they look pretty similar but the Atomz ones look a bit straighter and the dropouts aren't identical. Whether they're worth the extra £20 is a different matter though...

If you're using Premiere, there's a button on the import screen that toggles between importing video, audio or both. Check that's set to both.

I kind of know what you mean about Kings feeling 'weedy'. But I reckon it's because they engage so fast compared to, say, a Hope. With a Hope you can kick on the pedals and you get a bit of movement in the freehub before it engages, followed by a nice solid clunk and the hub engages fine. With Kings they engage a lot quicker so you don't get that positive engagement feeling.

On Top Gear last week, Ronnie Wood (of Rolling Stones fame) said that he and Jagger once stayed up for 7 days. I suspect that he was using some sort of performance-enhancing party sweets though.

Yeah but they have really thick alu steerers so the hole down the middle isn't big enough for one of those BMX top cap/star nut things.

Fair enough. I like your idea anyway, it's innovative and it'll probably be fine

When you put in the dimensions, it says it's too big for them to deliver (well, the box I used was).

Long cables are fine. The only problem is if you slip off the tyre or whatever and get your foot stuck in a loop of cable. That's bad news

I like snow (boarding) but I don't know that I'd want 3-4 months of it each year! Doesn't it piss you off?

Just send the new one back, you have at least a week, I think 28 days, to decide if you want it. If you haven't used it, it'll be fine.
