They always seem like an incredibly expensive way to have fun for half an hour. Plus the only people that have them around here are scallies.

I was gonna say - Is there any advantage in the Juicy 5 over the 7, apart from price?

Depends what you ride really. If you ride mainly spinny streety stuff, get some nice high risers (2.5" is nice) and a short-ish stem. If you want to ride more trialsy/natural I would probably go with some trials-specific bars like the Onza or Zoo bars, although I've always found them a bit too wide. It's probably nothing you wouldn't get used to though. I never really liked the Try-all bars, they always seemed wrong to me. Too wide, too flat (upsweep/backsweep makes bars more comfortable IMO), and they just broke easily. Monty bars are quite nice - very strong, nice feel and not too wide. But you may like the wider bars, it's minaly a preference thing.

Don't rub it in! Can you get any carbon forks though? The Fournales/Coust ones are specialist items that I wouldn't have thought will be available for bike shops to order in, especially not state-side. You got anything in mind?

I can definitely see more people making "the change" in the next year or so, but I don't think it will ever take over. Long bikes are here to stay I am sure, people will always want to do the biggest sidehop or gap or something, which is something that is much easier on a longer bike. But we all know that 24" is more fun <_<

Lots. It's the easiest thing to change that will totally transform the way the bike rides. But it might make a difference for the better, or worse. But yeah of course you will get used to it. What are you running at the moment?

I don't think anyone really bothers with CF forks. There were some people making them a while back (Goldtech/Coust/Fournales) but they were stupidly expensive (I heard £500 mentioned <_< ). Those Pace Carbon forks from years back were ok, I think Waynio was using them. Flexy as anything though...

How do you know who is an extremist though? <_< I should have realised this topic would end up like this...

Best Christmas Lights Evar!

My highest with my left hand is about 1000 less that with my right hand. I just can't co-ordinate it properly <_<

That used to happen all the time to the Zen I had, it was most annoying <_<

Haven't you seen Snatch? :)

For Real, this time :) EDIT: More Banana-related fun HERE, courtesy of Mr-Monkey.

That's what I did, I never bothered with any water on the disc or anything, and it worked a treat :)

Buckethead was better :)

I can't get over 10600, I blame it on having small hands, I can't grip the ball very well :)

I still have mine but I can`t seem to break my record. And does it shite keep you fit :)

Guilty of being brown? :)

You know how you hear about America's most wanted criminals, #1 is probably Bin Laden or something. Anyways, here is the UK's Most Wanted. It's not quite as hardcore as the American one though - one guy is in the top 20 for using a stolen card to buy petrol :)

Works fine here. The only problem is that for some reason eBuyer doesn't work. Really random, every other site works just fine :blink:

Looks good, but all that stuff doesn't mean shit if it skips all the time. But hopefully Hope will have done their homework and this won't be a problem. All looks good, especially the bolts instead of QRs :blink:

I would rather have an iMac. If you want a pimpy computer that works nicely, buy an iMac. If you want a powerful computer, buy a decent PC.

Yeah but for playing videos that battery life is less than 2 hours or something :blink: iMacs are sexy :S

You can't just bosh any old video on, but you can convert videos to the right format using a program on your PC. I saw one that would convert any quicktime movie into the iPod flavour but I presume there are others that will convert other formats and DVDs etc. One thing to note is that apparently the battery life on a 60Gb version is much better :blink:

lol, 55kg is just over 8 stone. And yeah, benching 72.5kg is probably pretty hard, especially for a 15 year old.
