    Phone Unlocking

    I'm pretty sure Phones4u, Carphone Warehouse etc will not do it. I don't believe that there isn't a dodgy phone shop somewhere near you. They're everywhere...

    Phone Unlocking

    All Nokias can be done with codes, as far as I know. But Sony phones need a cable, and I don't think it's simply a data cable. They're called terminator dongles and you can get them on eBay for about £15. But it's probably easier just to go to the market

    Performance Chips

    So it's basically like a choke? Seems stupid to me, a great way to waste extra fuel for no reason.
  4. I would agree with that really. When I first saw the news and stuff about it, I just thought that the paper was out of order. You can argue about freedom of speech all day, but everyone gets offended by some stuff. When you know that it's going to cause that much outrage (and anyone who even thought about it would have realised this), why print it? It's just asking for trouble. It's just insulting a whole religion (of mostly peaceful people I would add) for no particular reason. That would be like painting a picture of me on Bush's body, and shooting some arabic people. I wouldn't want that, would I. And there's no reason to lump me in with some other western figures, in the same way that lumping together a prophet and a bomber. When videos etc of Ken Bigley being executed by his captors went around the internet, most people were disgusted. But there were a few people (mainly muslims I guess) who had the video on their phone etc. Now I think that's pretty sick, and I think most people would agree. But it's basically the same issue, just with the boot on the other foot. All pretty silly, really.

    What Is It?

    Metal TPA caps for '04 mags? Seems a bit far-fetched given that they won't even work with the '05 ones? Valve caps? Valve stem holder things?

    The Uk

    To be honest, I know european countries just as well as I know UK counties anyway (if not better). And I bet I can name 30 states. With a bit of trying and brainstorming, a couple of my friends and I worked out all 45 states ( ).

    The Uk

    Illegal immigrants might help, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of Mexicans in American illegally doing the jobs no American wants to do. Annnyway, this thread wasn't about important issues like that. It's about taking the piss out of countries that we don't know enough about. And in that same vein, here's what most all English people think of Americans.
  8. Maybe they'll try and turn trials into a christian sport. Who knows. Meh, they come up with all this crap every other year. Oh yeah, let's appeal to a cooler audience, that's an ace idea. Oh well. Ought to be entertaining to watch them fail to look cool and look even more uncool in the process, again
  9. It's like the good old days where trials videos were 30 seconds long and blew your mind. Good work that man! Front flip?

    The Uk

    You mean like the Red Arrows? Since when did they bomb?
  11. Yeah, I've been there before and to be honest I wouldn't go again, EXCEPT the only time I get off now is at Easter for one week (April 14th-23rd). Which is f**king late and there will be no snow. So I wanna go to the highest place to maximise the snow. And Val T is the highest resort in Europe. And I will be getting the 3 Vallees pass anyway Having said that, the last time I went it dumped it down on the last day - almost a total white out, and the snow after that was awesome. But yeah, any snow is better than none
  12. That's because you were given bad advice . Drive side BB cups are reverse-threaded, therefore to get it out you'd need to turn it clockwise
  13. The only time mine has ever come undone was when I did it finger tight without the tool. Even then it was fine for a good while (weeks). And it doesn't really hold anything on there so it hardly matters if it comes slightly loose anyway - Most trials riders will have dug their cog so far onto their freehub anyway. Having said that, the only reason I do it up finger-tight is because otherwise it's a total bitch to get off. If you've got a chainwhip it's not too bad, so I guess you could go for it.
  14. Oh so Bulgaria's no good then? I heard it was cheap, beer in Val Thorens (where I'm probably gonna go this year) is like £6/pint Nice jumps though, especially the last one
  15. I've done that loads of times, very easy to do on a shitty little off camber jump like that where you're on your toe edge. Snowboarding isn't particularly hard really. At least going down a hill (on piste) at a decent speed is pretty easy, anyway. Did you do any decent jumps Joe? I mean like where you land them And how is Bulgaria for snowboarding? Any good? I'm probably going to go at Easter with uni (Val Thorens), so I'm looking forward to that.

  17. They aren't particularly light (~1100g if memory serves me correctly) but they are a lot lighter than the other Planet-X/On-one Kniefen forks.
  18. 8 days remaining Put it somewhere... Good. Pretty please.
  19. Pat = Grantham = topic starter And I think he rides (Expert?) at the worlds, he ain't no slouch.
  20. Ackrigg's been around for donkey's years though and he's not really got to where the Marty/ins are/were. I think he's perhaps a bit shy, or perhaps he concentrates too much on comps or doing his own thing. Which is totally fair enough, but I don't think he'll ever be in MBUK as much as Martyn. What about Danny Holroyd? He does a few things with MBUK so far and he's still pretty young. If he keeps it up, he's my tip
  21. You could say that about any toilet though? Or pissing in the wind?
  22. It needs to hang over the edge slightly otherwise the spacers/cassette would move about a bit. Kinda like if your headset's loose because your steerer is too long.
  23. I just do it finger-tight and it's fine. As soon as you get into tightening it with spanners etc, it becomes really hard to get off again, and there's no point anyway. As for the spacers, I guess you should perhaps take 1-2mm off the spacers so they fit properly with the Kog? It seems odd that King would supply it like that though. You definitely got them on the right way?
  24. Yeah, it's not worth that much. Even it was mint, unlikely, but it's been totally battered too.
