But mods have chain tensioners with no "give" in them either. They look OK, I have changed my opinion on all these "no spring" tensioners since I got the Leeson one which works perfectly. As long as the roller is soft enough, and the mounting firm enough, you can get away with no spring. Having said that I've not used the Fresh one so I can't say if that's good or not. But it might be (Y)

Yes they are good. Very good in fact. But they wear out really quickly (Y)

In a couple of months there will be more options. I almost guarantee it. Not saying I know inside info or anything, but bike companies like Onza would be stupid not to bring a frame out with all this 24" attention at the moment.

That really sucks :) Get well soon (Y)

You'd have to hit a frame pretty hard to damage the dropout though? Although yeah, it does look as though you could break mech + hanger + axle with a hard enough knock, rather than just the hanger...

Phone Clive and ask him for the inserts for the 360dropouts to fit a Hope XC and he'll knock some up for you I'm sure. As for forks, while you're on the phone to Clive you could ask him for some Pashleys with a disk mount too (Y) Mine took 10...

I think so. Although you could burn to DVD if you were that bothered, but it would take ages converting everything to MPEG-2, and then burning it.

Ride what you want. But on a 24" :)

Dunno. I remember Clive giving me the option of head angle, I went for a 74 anyway. I love it at that angle, much nicer than the 70 on my old Koxx. Yours is proabably pretty similar to mine then, so it probably rides as nice as mine :) It's nice to see someone else who has a fairly long-ish one that isn't just a street bike. The great thing is about it is that it rides pretty similar to a medium length bike (1060ish), but you can still throw it about better. Well, that's what I think anyway :ermm:

Shuttup :P I knew someone was gonna say that! I just think that for the majority of people, a disk is better, but V-brakes are more fashionable on a streety bike so that's why people run them. Fair enough if you do dropout stalls though :) (I wanted to try the other day but realised I couldn't :ermm: )

Well, they will both play DVDs fine. If that's all you want, get the cheaper one. Aside from a slightly bigger screen, the only thing the more expensive one does is play DivX files. That basically means that if you download films off the internet, you can burn them onto a CD and play them on that thing. If you think you will do that a lot, I would go for the £200 version. If not, save the money :ermm:

We've got it in our living room and I quite like it - it makes the room look really clean. But I guess it's pretty cheap laminate floor so it's chipping all over the place. I would say it would probably be worth spending a bit more and getting some decent stuff. Or a carpet :ermm:

When you can give me one proper reason why V-brakes are better, you can use one. Until then, use a disk because they're better.

Garden State Was cool (Y)

It's still really, really gay.

Looks nice. What head angle does it have?

I think they will all be able to, but you have a big enough drive, although the one I have is an X-ecuter 2.6 CE I think. You can get a solderless adapter for it, but I've not really heard anything good about it, and it's about £8 more. I would just bite the bullet and get a proper one, it's not too hard (Y)

Yeah, pretty much. Although I don't think you mean bios. The bios is copied to the memory on the actual chip itself, everything else goes on the hard drive. But yes, it would work. When it's chipped you don't even need a hard drive or CD-Rom drive in it at all to start it up. So you could chip it + install a new hard drive, and then start it up with a boot disk, and you're away. The only thing you'd need to do differently is to put a little bit onto the boot disk so that there's an option for formatting, as the stock xbox drives don't need formatting. Once you've got the boot disk up and running and the hard drive formatted, the xbox works on the network so you can FTP stuff to it (use FlashFXP/FileZilla etc from your PC) so that you don't need the disk again.

Possibly. But I would go with a 122.5 to be safe.

I would have done, but I saw Mike Judson who had worn down his swampthing almost completely in two weeks. Gonna try a High Roller and then see what happens (Y)

Also if it's saying access denied you might need to enable a guest account on your network if you're got some silly sharing going on. Does it allow you to see the workgroup in XBMC, or does it come up with something like "NT_FILE_NOT_FOUND"?

You might have to restart the computer and possibly the router/xbox to see the changes. Have you got filesharing enabled between PCs on the network and does it work? If so and the xbox is in the same domain (I.e. 192.168.0.xxx, as I'm pretty sure it will be), then there should be no probs. On XBMC there are two options - one is SMB, the other is Workgroups (SMB). You want the workgroups option. The other option is for if you set up an SMB server on one of the PCs - which is something you can do if it still won't work.

They have them in stock, apparently. Not on the site yet though.

You can get UN53s in 127.5mm, CRC have 68x127.5s HERE if it's any use to you. I think you can just bosh a 68 into a 73mm frame anyway...

Have you got sharing enabled on the PC? If you're running XP and you have some folders shared, XBMC should just find the workgroup and then you can explore the shares. It's under My files > Workgroups (SMB)
