    T-rex

    That's an awsome idea (Y) I ws gonna say space it out rather than cut the bolts down, but meh, you've got it sorted (Plus it probably looks better) :blink:
  2. So what were those forks on your website then? Hifis? EDIT: Yup - Picture Yup. Echo/Zoo/Gu - all the same yet different (as far as I can tell) (Y)
  3. Aren't they control forks? That were taken off the tarty bikes website today? No comprendo. Bike looks sweet though, how much? (Y)

    What Is

    A couple of summers ago, I rode from 10am to 10pm. Pretty hardcore (Y)
  5. I'm possibly becoming more inclined to vote Lib Dem, but I think it'll come down to what are the best tactics to keep the Tories out :blink:
  6. I could be persuaded to for a lot of money though. Medeval (Y)

    Car Insurance.

    I did the confused thing for myself and got a quote from Quinn that was half of what everyone else was offering. Might be worth a go (£410 on an R reg Polo 1.6, 3rd party fire, theft, £250 XS.)
  8. From my Mum "Yes. They promised monday delivery. Might come by van not postman. Tell Rachel gaspt birthday from me." (I think she meant happy (Y) )
  9. You never get straight forks though. The only forks I know that will make a significant difference to the wheelbase are Pashley forks, which have a lot of rake on them, therefore they increase the wheelbase by about 20mm. Although as people have rightly said, the bike will feel very similar, because the reach is the important thing to worry about, and that is NOT affected by what forks you use. About the same as the urban forks, give or take 5mm. Basically the wheelbase (on the 1065 control) will measure up as about 1065. Be aware though, that the control 1065 feels shorter than a levelboss 1065 (for example), because the high bottom bracket makes the reach shorter. I think the 1085 control feels a similar length to the 1065 koxx. It doesn't matter though - just get the damn frame - You'll get used to it whatever length it is.
  10. Mine was too big to fit into my echo forks. There's nothing really wrong with a star nut anyway...
  11. Find some way of attaching a scaffolding pole (or something equally long) to the post, and twist it. There's no way it can't come out with that.
  12. English billions are a million million (1 000 000 000 000 or 10^12) American billions are a thousand million (1 000 000 000 or 10^9) No one uses English billions any more.
  13. I have a 661 dirt lid (the slightly cheaper one), and I have to say it's pretty damn nice. It's a bit weird that it is one size fits all, but it seems to fit my head ok. Not sure if I'm a mushroom or narrow, but I know I have a big head. This helmet actually stays on my head, unlike my old TSG. Apart from that I don't really know what to say. It's a bit of a risk buying a helmet over the internet, but my buying finger was itchy and it looks cool in blue (Y)" Oh yeah, mine came from simplythebike.co.uk (Y)

    Car Insurance.

    Confused.com - I've heard this is good, never used it though.
  15. (Y) For the last time, the government does NOT make money out of smoking. It costs them billions, even taking into account the taxation on fags. In America, they think that obesity will actually overtake smoking as the major cause of death, by about 2020 (If it carries on as it is). And we all laugh at americans being fat. Haha, they're gonna die earlier. Well so are you little miss smokeyfish.

    Pain?

    Sure it's not just arm pump from gripping the bars/brake? If it's forearm, that's what it'll be, probably.

    Laptops, Noises?

    Yeah, it gets a bit warm and the fan kicks in until it goes cool again (Y)
  18. I just looked it up and sprains = ligaments. And I guess you can get tendon damage at the same time.
  19. Where? I want. Don't be a dick. If you'd actually looked at the results on google (like I did before you posted that), you'd have seen that there isn't anywhere actually selling what I want.
  20. Well, yes they are to some extent, otherwise you wouldn't be able to move your foot inwards and outwards. But you might be right. I thought ankle sprains were tendons damage, but apparently not...
