  1. Right ok. From your description it sounded like the power spline, sorry . The Ruktion cranks need a Howitzer BB. It's very similar to an ISIS but it's not quite the same, apparently. Your best bet is to just get the Howitzer BB. It's heavy duty with large external bearings anyway, so it's a good BB. Make sure you get the correct chain line for it, I don't think they come with axle lengths but chain line sizes instead. You should just measure the distance between the dropouts (135mm probably) half that, then minus the distance from the driveside dropout to the middle cog on the cassette. This should give you approx. the best chain line which you can then match up for your axle length. If you're still not sure, just get your local bike shop to sort it out for you, they'll have to order the correct BB.
  2. It was meant to be funny I suppose but you obviously want a serious reply so; You should ditch the fisheye. It's decreasing the quality of the footage and the black ring around the edge is past the point of too much. It would look a lot better without the fisheye. Also the camera would probably be able to focus in the low light a bit better. Even if you zoomed in a little to reduce the size of the black ring, this would again affect the quality. I'm not trying to diss your video, just pointing it out from a unbiased opinion.
  3. Who's the swine holding a jam jar in the way of the camera? he has no respect.
  4. Terrible. I'm sure he used to be inspiring. But the style and variation/difficulty of the demo was just awful. Not great to watch.
  5. The truvativ ISIS cranks are what they say they are, they are ISIS cranks. But the Howitzer BB uses the Truvativ Power Spline (Not ISIS). So if you have the power spline BB you will need some power spline cranks. I think there are some Isoflow cranks and Holzfeller Truvativ cranks that take it. Do a seach for Power spline cranks.
  6. An article I come across today: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/education/educa...ses-a-year.html It's pretty bad the way a hell of a lot of things come down to racism. E.g (from the article): "A five-year-old girl was told off and her parents were contacted when she refused to let a black girl join in a game, the report says." Maybe she was just shit or they didn't like her. Why did they automatically presume it was because she was black? These kind of situations really grind my gears. It amazes me when non white people start accusing people of being racist because they don't get their way. Infact that's terribly racist towards white people. Ofcourse this doesn't occur with everyone but I've come across it enough times to get pissed off. If I hated a black guy, a lot of people would automatically presume I was being racist. It's just a really bad excuse most of the time and I hate having to explain myself. Why should I have to explain myself so I don't sound racist? From the article refering to the amount of racist related incidents that have happend in schools: "Schools that send in “nil” returns are criticised for “under-reporting”, and are sent letters telling them to put up posters raising awareness. " This is an absolute joke. Astonished. Phil.
  7. I was about to say something like this, but you've just wrapped it up. We don't know what they do with their money. Quite frankly, why the hell should they have to give money to people. They've earnt it. It's a hell of a lot, but that's how much they're getting, they aren't going to turn around and say "hold, that's a bit much that, I don't need that". I'm sure most of them donate a lot to charities anyway and high earners usually have a hell of a lot more outgoings, so a huge house, staff, cars, bills. It's just the same except their luxeries are a lot more than ours. It does annoy me when people say footballers get paid too much, they just don't, you never can do, it's money. They might personally think it's too much, but it's not for us to say. The football clubs can obviously afford it and that's just how it is. If they didn't get as much as they do, then where do you think the money is going to go? Some brilliant charity? More than likely straight into the hands of the owners, but o no wait, let me guess, they'll probably be earning too much then won't they and us Brits will end up crying about it.
  8. Edit: Haha, he actually took some more aswell. Anyway, well done, always feels good to build your own stuff.
  9. What's with the love of exclamation marks?
  10. Surely not. You can't really get much lower than it is. They look as low as most other frames available.
  11. It all depends on your bike,the type of set up you already have, what bars you have and the style of your riding. In general if you bunny hop a lot you should have them swept back slightly. If you do a lot of sidehopping, have them more forward, this makes it easier to pull upwards in the direction you're going when you sidehop. From my experience, it makes a hell of a difference. I tend to go a slightly more forward but not too much. This way it's helpful for sidehops as well as tapping and other technical moves, where as having them set up simply for bunnyhops will make other moves a lot harder.
  12. I forgot to give an actual opinion on this before. It's so terrible. He's going far to fast, he has no rhythm, It's all in the same tone, it's just constant uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, there's no beat or meaning to any of it. And because of all that he stupidly runs out of breath and has to keep gasping. It doesn't sound good at all. I have a feeling it's just a typical guy "checkz me blood I can rap yuuarr" so he remembers a load of words and puts them all together in any order. Nobody has a clue what he's saying, does he care? No. He thinks he's great, so it's probably fine.
  13. He's not saying he doesn't know the difference, ever thought he might actually dislike those 3 genres?
  14. The artists of the old songs will be getting royalties for each song, they must have given their consent. It's the same for all the X-factor winners, pick a song, any song, take it, then make it worse, and become number 1.
  15. So he can talk really fast about stabbing people and big asses? Big woop.
  16. I was thinking "where the hell does he think he's going to plug that in" Next think he's opening a lamp post and plugging it in. Surely not.
  17. I'm shocked you haven't put black spokes on. Would have made it much nicer. Still very nice though.
  18. If you're thinking evolution is "probably" correct, you more than likely must think of it as fact and it's your religious beliefs which is stopping you from being 100% certain about evolution. It can't be that you think evolution might be wrong or new evidence which contradicts evolution becomes available because that isn't going to happen. If any new evidence was found, it would only be to back up the evidence already there because it's so profoundly accurate. For example; You know something which is a fact like the earth is a sphere, it is and it's fact, there isn't going to be any new evidence that pops up which differs. The same applies to evolution, it's a fact and no new evidence is going to pop up to disregard that. There's got to be a point where fact is literally fact, if not then we may as well disregard every verifiable truth that's ever been proved.
  19. I bet the brakes are terrible though.
  20. It sounds likely they'll have man made sections then.
  21. Probably to help put off us pesky Brits from going.
  22. If you're saying your Halo hub has broke you can't replace the freehub with a hope freehub, which is what it sounds like you're saying. You'll need a Halo freehub and that's if they even do spares for them. If you have a hope hub and the freehub has broke on it, you could possibly send it back to hope for repair. But I'm only guessing whether you have a Halo hub or a hope hub. Either way, whatever hub you have it will build up onto your Halo rim with the correct size spokes and hole drillings.
