Yeah I'm a tool

Maybe I read him wrong actually. Did he mean too tight as in the spokes? Or the QR?

You're pedalling backwards, right? If you're not, you need to. I recommend starting on a steep-ish hill (E.g. a steep road or something, nothing too steep) and just rolling up it with a bit of momentum until you come to a stop. At this point you'll start rolling backwards obviously, but it's not so rushed as with an endo

I agree. I've printed a couple of A4 size pics (of McFly, not Busted... You're so last year Joe) off my 3 megapixel camera and they look OK. It's certainly OK for your normal 6x4 or 7x5 anyway. So For 99% of the time, 4MP will be enough.

Clutching at straws?

Whoa, 44" sidehop on a unicycle is hardcore! Very impressive, I can't even ride damn unicycles

iPod videos are only 15fps, you can't notice. I think you should be able to get something decent for £100. My old Olympus does reasonably good video and is a good camera too - And that will be about £60 by today's prices. But sorry I can't specifically help.

It's probably some DRM thing that makes it impossible to rip, and it installs a special player to play the CD. BUT Sony got into a lot of trouble for installing stuff like that without asking, this sounds like the same thing. Either I'm pretty sure you're morally fine to download the album.

I think that's a mod rider's saying. On a stock you can't really land on the chain if you try, because the wheels are bigger and all that

Hahaha, good stuff On Topic: I'd vote for King myself, but I don't really care. I think we need to know how many Kings are in existence and how many have broken, and compare that to Hopes. Until we know that then it's pretty much not worth arguing about. Just get whichever suits your budget better. If you want to save some money and still get a decent hub, get the Hope. If you want the best of the best and something extremely pimp, get the King and sod the expense

You can ask him and I'm sure he'd try and accomodate you. But I wouldn't recommend it. You're limiting your choice of hubs lots, and you'll have absolutely no resale value if you try and sell the frame. The 360 dropouts are kind of the same idea as through-axles. They're supposed to hold the wheel in place better, and they do very well. You don't need a stiffer rear axle at all.

Is that like a direct link onto the console itself - Like the xbox360's market place? And do you have to pay? Out of the lot I'd probably go Nintendo but I'm not all that fussed at all, doubt I'll be buying any of them.

Need to get Hans Brix on his ass... Seriously, it is pretty worrying to think that all these countries have the power to kill each other. I think I'd be more worried about it if/when Iran or other Arab countries get nuclear weapons though. As it is, there's not much point worrying about it and there's not a lot we can do. Just get on with it and keep your fingers crossed.

Did you hit the downtube to pie though? I agree - smashing stuff is fun. Burning stuff is better though.

They're not. They are pretty different. They both have the same shape (very nice IMO), XTRs have better bearings, which means that XTRs will probably last forever. XT levers will die after a few years (mine lasted about 4 years before the bearings pretty much died), but that's still a fair old time. The only other thing is the speed-dial thing. On the XT levers there's only 3 different positions and it's fiddly to change it, whereas on the XTRs you've got full control like on the Avid levers. To be honest, XTRs are a bit nicer, but it's up to you as to whether it's worth paying nearly double the money. SD7 levers are probably better value, but I never really got on with the shape, so I'm gonna recommend Shimano

His left or the camera's left? You can tell 'cos he's clearly riding a mod...

I don't know how your problem with your hand affects the strength, but I think most people on here wouldn't feel a difference by swapping around (other than it'd be VERY confusing!). I think people think that their left hand is weaker than their right, when it's really not. It's just not as co-ordinated. But you hardly need any co-ordination to pull a brake lever anyway. Besides, most people on here will give their left finger a work-out every time they ride so that's gotta do something. If you think it'll help then there's no harm in trying. Just don't expect miracles. P.S. It'll make it really annoying when you come to ride other people's bikes

Onzaboymark (on the left I think, although it's hard to tell) and Tank Rider (Andy Hill).

Supposedly faster, and allows file sizes of over a certain size. Also the max size of a Fat32 partition that Windows likes is 32Gb. I don't think you can notice a speed difference though, and Fat32 is compatible with other operating systems if you're running them on the same system (E.g. dual booting linux and Windows or something). 95% of people should use NTFS though.

Ooooh, you're a bitch. I agree though. How can anyone hate a bike that shiny and beautiful?

Exactly. CLS might have sidehops dialed but I don't believe his left index finger is any stronger than mine.

He can take you to court, but in 99% of cases it's not worth the bother. You were a dickhead and you should feel ashamed of yourself, suck up the -1 feedback and stop worrying. You're not going to court. Just don't do it again.

I'm 90% sure you can do it with Partition Magic, without losing any data or whatever. I think I've done it before, although I can't quite remember.

Chic Are you going to be getting another batch of the 24UKs? Looks pretty nice if not a little bit weird. And what is this uber-pimp 26" you speak of?

You make a good point. If I'm being pedantic I'll say the Orange Zero didn't have a yoke. But on the other hand, every single one of them broke at that point
