Use a bike box. More protection in a box rather than a bag, so should prevent any bending too. I've got a bike bag, never had a problem with it but it's not uncommon for people to find their bikes bent after being in a plane. Make sure you use some frame/fork dropout packing to prevent it bending.

The paint is going to ware down. Especially as it's painted and not anodized. You can't stop it. Just get some non black pads. Preferably the worst pads you can find.

Depends how well you can clamp the rim. There would have to be zero flex/wobble in the rim to put a jigsaw on it. I think it'll be more hassle than it's worth, especially when you get to the 90 degree part.

You missed the, 'slice fingers on coke can' part.

Even if you could remove a dent on such a small tube, you'd make the frame weaker than when you had the dent. But what you should do is get a hammer and dent the other side. Then say it's meant to be like that. Sroblem Polved.

Thor gloves are excellent, Very well made. Don't go for any 661 gloves though as they are a pathetic excuse for gloves.

First of all, make sure you're willing to buy a new rim if it collapses, single walling a double wall rim will weaken it a huge amount, it's not for everyone, so it depends on your riding style etc, My top tip for filing the holes to get a square cut out is to not bother. The amount of time it takes and then watching the rim fold in half makes me say it's not worth it. But that's just my advice, but if you are, just get some files, preferable a file that's the same width as the diameter of the hole so all you do is file the curves off the hole. If you're going to cut the second wall out though it shouldn't take too long actually. Single walling the rim just requires a cutting off wheel on an angle grinder. Actually make that more than one cut off wheel as you may snap one. Then just go around the edge of the second wall.

I currently have one of those red motorokr S9 ebay jobbies you can see all over ebay for pretty cheap. Problem being it doesn't work outside, constantly skips, only outside for some reason. Although perfectly fine in the gym so I just stuck with it, but now the rubber buttons have fallen off one side and I've lost and ear bud so I'm thinking of replacing them. There doesn't seem to be a huge amount on the market at the moment. The latest Jaybird sportsband 2 looks ok, bit pricey though and I'm not used to that style of headphone, with the foam, so I'm not sure how comfortable it'll be and how stable it'll be on the head, even though it's called sportsband, I can't imagine it to stay in place too well when running/cycling etc. - Jaybird - http://www.jaybirdge...s-features.html Plantronics backbeat 903 - http://www.mobilefun...ogle%2Bproducts They look ok, not again not sure on how comfortable they will be around the back of the ear. My bluetooth headset holds on behind the ear and can be a pain to get on sometimes. I mainly want it to work outside (not skip or break up) and be comfortable. I'm not hugely concerned about the likes of bass quality, I know most headphones are going to be decent enough quality for me to not be too bothered, plus half my MP3s are low bitrate. So if anybody has any reviews on what they've got and what they think of theirs, that'll be good. Thanks.

It's a shame Microsoft haven't brought out anything spectacular. I've got a pretty good Logitec wheel which works on PC and PS3, but ofcourse they don't work for the Xbox. At the moment PS3 is well ahead with the wheels available. Maybe when Forza 4 is released they might have a new wheel out. It's a bit odd that they discontinued their previous wheel though.

I just want to go to japan, maybe get surrounded by extremely hot Japanese girls and urm..I'll take it from there I suppose.

Don't want to sound pedantic, but you do know you can unplug the Sky HDMI cable and plug in the PS3 HDMI cable.

We should do a UK version, hmmm now who shall we pick. O I know, Porter and Bessel should do the trick.

Just looking through the pictures and this pops up. Initially I get excited, but then realise, she's a bit excited... Actually, while I'm here I've been meaning to add these 2 pictures to the topic.

Still would though. Also everybody seems to love Zooey deschanel. She's gotta be the top pic. I need to watch Yes man again.

You won't damage it for sure, no. But do you want to do the job properly or aren't you bothered? If you're not that bothered, take a hammer to it and hit it.

it is possible, just depends if you want to damage your hub or not.

A thinner pedal will increase your efficiency to hop/grip though. So the pedals being thin is a good thing. The whole lowering your BB thing is bull.

Sometimes I take spare forks, and a chain. Always take spare tubes though. These are the main parts I take.

3 episodes. I only saw 1 and didn't see any others advertised or even on iplayer. It was pretty pants though.

They're a totally different thing to long johns. The only similarity is they're for your legs.

I've been working on my style for about 6 years since this. It's been getting gradually better. I just need a sponsor to give me some wheels to be honest

That's exactly what I thought. I was about to mention it. The graphics quality is good but the shapes of the characters and buildings are more cartoony than MW2. It reminded me a bit of counter strike source with some of the graphics and the way you see people moving about. Still good, but I rate MW2 better at the moment. It's just good to have new maps, weapons, gameplay etc. It's more fair too when it comes to kills and gameplay. I'll have to get used to this money lark though. I liked levelling up and automatically getting new weapons, but now I have to fart around trying to decide what weapon I want to buy and what attachment etc. Might end up being better but I need to get used to it. Some other cool little features too, and good to have Zombies back. Also, online play is being a bitch, drops out a lot, takes ages to find a game and when it does it farts about for ages swapping people about and adding people.

I hate to break it to you, but it's unlikely any 2 of the same components are exactly the same weight. Also, it sounds like you're guessing the weights of your parts. At the end of the day, the scale doesn't lie (unless they've set the zero wrong), that is the weight of that bike and that's that. There's no hidden anti mass rim tape hidden in it.

Wow. A Shimano chain on a trials bike. Do kids have death wishes these days?

Rockshox Reverb is what you want. Heard good stuff about it. Pricey though, but I'm sure you could get on the old B2B Ali .
