  1. It's going to be f**king hard to resist that temptation though. Besides, I've done no work and been on here 2 hours soooo... go figure!

    Xc Cranks

    Yeah, I've got some Truvativs which came on my bike, they seem fine. They're not especially bling (neither are the deores) but I've had no problem. Except the left crank falling off at inopportune moments... If you take it off (and break the loctite) make sure you put some more on! Although if you've not got the 'they're dispatched' email from CRC, you could always give them a ring and change it if you wanted, they're very helpful. EDIT: The Truvativ ones come with a BB too you know. They look pretty bargainous considering the RRP

    Xc Cranks

    Just get Deores. They're stupidly cheap for what you get. Cranks + 3 rings + BB for £45 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=22924 I don't think those old Octalink XTs are a good idea. It's a completely outdated (and inferior) BB system which no one uses any more, so replacing the BB will just be more effort. If you want to go for the Hollowtech II XTs or LX, they're pretty good though. The new XT ones look really pimp, but they're a bit out of your budget (£90). EDIT: Oops, too late. Never mind.
  4. I just bought a game on ebay (Amped 3) so I've got to buy one now... Question is, do I buy it now, or after my exams
  5. I think he'd tried it the day before into a foam fit, that's it though. Have a read of the thread: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=23082

  7. It's only 720 p which is 1280 x 720 pixels - so it's the perfect size for most people's screens (1280x1024). This particular one isn't amazing quality, but it's way, way better than youtube or something! I'm converting it to standard def and compressing it a bit as we speak - hopefully to under 100mb so it'll go on trials tube. Might take a while though. Is the OTN link still borked? EDIT: Premiere doesn't like this file, so I don't know how to encode it. On the other hand, the OTN link (now in first post) is working fine for me - 120kbps and 1hr15 remaining. Just use that - I waited four hours for it off the French server yesterday I dunno if Tomturd can whizz the file straight off OTN and onto the trialstube servers? To save downloading, encoding and re-uploading?
  8. I'm glad you showed that bail at the start, otherwise I'd have thought he was super-human. That was mental, he just rode everything perfectly.

  10. This is actually a really good video, and I think the OTN link is up now, so try that. It's worth it Use VLC, it plays anything.
  11. I was gonna say that, nice gap face Adam
  12. Haha, brilliant. I used to love that song :$
  13. Why didn't you say that before? It's still nothing to do with drivers. Just go back into the menu (*press del to enter setup*) and change it back... If you can't find the exact option for USB, there will probably be a 'restore to default settings' or 'restore failsafe'. Try that.
  14. Nah I'm only joking. I just don't like really wide trials bars that tilt up, they just feel completely wrong to me. But you're allowed to have them
  15. Oh yeah, I forgot to put that. I was thinking it, mind. Actually I was going off my phone because that tells me how big each page is while it's loading. I don't think it caches anything. Not sure why I told you that.
  16. It's Trials-forum rules. You're not allowed to say your bike is the "nicest [...] ever", everyone else must decide. I think it's in the guidelines somewhere It does look very sexy though. Apart from the bars, they look silly. IMO of course
  17. I was hoping someone would tell me that 'pedanticism' isn't a word. That would have been nicely ironic. Pedantry. That's the word.
  18. There's not really such a thing as USB drivers. If you've knackered your computer with a virus or spyware or whatever, get that sorted and/or wipe the computer clean. If it's a hardware problem, that won't help, obviously.
  19. No, crazy frog was never, ever cool.
  20. It'll be fine, just plug it in.
  21. It's downloading, slowly. I've just watched the first 7 minutes though, it let met watch it which was nice. So far I have noticed: The micro-scooter section is (as you might expect) really lame. The guy on the unicycle is actually quite good... Quality is nothing to write home about. It says it's in HD but it just looks like a normal video to me. Certainly not like that beasty TRAinHD vid. The riding was pretty immense. The street section is basically Benito vs Vince, and they're pretty evenly matched. Totally different styles though - Benito looks really lazy and just floats everywhere, whereas Vince looks much rougher. He even looks slightly uncomfortable hopping on the back wheel. Noob. Good video, looking forward to the rest (3 hours remaining )
  22. Doubt it. You can't even stream a 720i compressed video over wifi, it's not quick enough. Let alone a full, uncompressed 1080 signal.
  23. Wow, I never imagined this brakeless craze to take off
