Why do they have separates routes for mods and stocks to begin with? Surely they could just have one and score the mods and stocks in their own separate groups.

Ohhh i thought Vimeo had gone down that shit 'you must queue' road. Good vid .

The good thing about 24" bikes is that they take the strengths from mods and stocks and combines them, The bad thing about 24" bikes is that they take the weaknesses from mods and stocks and combines them. So it's very unlikely that 24" will become the dominant market, but it's obviously to see there is a demand and 24" bikes might one day take up a good third of the pie chart. The only way I can see 24" bikes becoming more popular than either mods or stocks is a slim chance that riders may find that (for example) stocks have been too big and bulky all along and get more efficient riding from 24" bikes (same logic applies to mod, but for easy of writing I'll just compare to stocks). This would mean that mods or 24" bikes would become the norm and 26" bike would be deemed 'just too big' and would only be used by a handful of riders for whatever reason just like 29" XC are today. Or maybe it won't go to that extreme and we might just see the %s drop away from stock riders. And everything in between of course. If this unlikely event were to happen, what we'd see happening is over the next 5 or so years is more stock riders converting from 26" bikes than mod riders, and eventually 24" riders taking over 26" riders with addition of the mod riders who switched to 24". It's going to be really interesting how it all pans out. What could also happen that would effect the popularly of the 24" trials bike is if that riders deem 24" bikes to be a good compromise compared to riding a mod some days and a stock on others. There aren't that many people who actually do that, but, if a rider does do that it'll take 1 away from the number of stocks and 1 away the number of mods as opposed to a dedicated mod rider who switches to a 24" would only drop the number of mods by 1 but not stocks. With regards to competition rules, especially the more competitive levels of competitions 24" bikes shouldn't be allowed yet. If 24" bike gives the rider a distinct advantage, then this will give a sponsored and/or wealthy rider an advantage which isn't fair. It's kind of the same reasoning how at some comps you aren't allowed to have someone carry your bike from section to section as people who are there alone will suffer by comparison. Seeing as though trials competitions are about biketrials ability and not whether or not you have a friend with you or not, it's only fair to put a rule in place that supports that. It should be mods and stocks only until 24" trials bikes have a good strong community so everyone can compete with them without exclusions.

I'm in a waiting line to view this vid. 31 mins.

Yeah it hardly effects the use of the laptop at all, I just don't want it to get worse and become unusable. Thanks!

Try Kent Hovind.

Yes. When you title the screen back and forth you can see it's not the hinge that's erm.... hinging. But the two connecting parts kind of rocking against each other.
-
So why does the screen have some slack?
-
Tried, it doesn't. I assume the hinge is f**ked then?
-
It wouldn't have allowed you to do that. Click 'Use my location information and secret answer to verify my identity' fill in the stuff in there. If you can't answer your secret question, you're screwed.

My 14 month old Dell is showing signs of old age. Pictures show the opening up hinge compared to the other closed one. I don't exactly know what's keeping the closed one closed. The closed on has a seam and you can get your fingernail it there but it's closed, the other one has come open and when you open the laptop you can feel the slack because of it. What can I do? Can these be replaced easily? My warranty is long over. Thanks guys!

Go down the hold password recovery (forgot your password link) route?

Brake slip led to your cranks rotating backwards which made your feet slip off as your were putting power through to do the gap. Then you got angry with the world and headbutted it.

How did you not take your GCSE's? What were you doing for the last 2 years of compulsory schooling?

There's a PC question thread. :;

Oh god that stuff sinks.

Doesn't seem like it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0q-MGwLFw8Q Also, the AGT website lists him as 1 of the 24 people left, at the moment they're going though the youtube auditions and other shit like that which is why we haven't head anything for a while.

Sounds good I might give one a bash. I turn 24 next month so I think it's time to lose the beard and start my life long battle to look younger.
-
I stopped shaving because i can't afford to buy those stupidly expensive blades anymore. I bought a beard trimmer for next to nothing so I've been rugged and many for the last year. (For the lack of a better emoticon) I looked into safety and straight edge razors. Seems that the blades for safety razors are much higher quality than fusion blades and cost pennies each. Anyone had any experience or use / used them?

You were in my old bedroom putting carpet on my walls so the cats could climb up it.

Surrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrely the nice guys at tartybikes who might be reading this will let him off.

You're better off making a good stir fry than a shit something that's more complicated.

He was fine and got to ride Danny's bike. I wish Danny would have hit my head so I could..... Never mind.

If you have the original CD that came with the laptop it's a doddle. Just put it in and if nothing comes up restart your computer. Then just follow the steps though.
