Im going to buck the trend and say 2600xt as its newer hardware, supports DX10 along with numerous benefits of the updated video decoding.
Anyway what are you planning on using it for exactly?
-
I have found when this happened on my levers its always been the thread on the tpa has been destroyed.
Tape it all apart and give it a good clean, see if anything is wrong.
-
That seems too big to keep with a tuck that big and the rear wheel not toally on. Impressive none the less.
-
May have to buy some anal ones then just to see how fast they need to go
-
We discovered from this very scientific test that going 50mph was far too slow, 60mph was not a lot better. At 70 you start to get some lift into it, then at 80mph bang on it expands, everytime at 80, we did it more than once lol.
The condoms used were Magnums if anyone wants to try a different brand see how they fare

Hey, me and a friend decided to see just how fast you need to drive in a car, with a candom being held out the window for it to expand. For those that have not done this, its funny as hell.
Enjoy the video, no speed limits were broken in the making on this video.
Wish we had been able to get the camera to see the end of it, I think it was a good 3ft long.

Are we going to be allowed to claim points on the orders we have already placed, seeing as I imagine you will have an order history, or will it start only on orders from when the system is implimented?
-
I have run full tpa before, to the point where it was so much tpa lever locked solid due to the plunger hitting the end of the cylinder. Unless that is what you meant?
TPA has not affected my lever blade at all and I have had mine since the bikeshow.
-
Why would you put a 74 kingz tpa onto an echo brake ???
But yeah only about £500-£600
-
I must be on rear person with a perfectly working dengura.
My TPA works fine, it does not leak, no lazy pistons or anything, lever feels solid etc.
-
Trying to "discuss" these brakes fails so hard on this forum, so I shall say what a lot of people seem to.
If you dont like them, or dont want to pay £135 for them, dont.

Can happen on any os, any computer etc, just less chance if you have good security on your network and computer itself. As far as I am aware they do not really bother with low lives like us, they will find a low level entry into a company such as tartybikes for example, place themselves as a portal between you and tartybikes, so any info you send to tarty they recieve too etc. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO TARTYBIKES TO MAKE THAT CLEAR. Was an example as a lot of people use that site.
This is generally stopped by digital certificates which is where the 2 computers basically say "hey was this sent from you, if so prove it" sorta thing. Its not easy to hack to be fair which is why the normally dont bother with people like us as I said and generally go for businesses instead where they will actually get some info they want.
-
Hacking your pc will allow them to acces sensitive data on you, such as your credit card details etc everytime you enter them, keylog your network so they can watch every key you type, pretty much watch whatever you do.
Its pretty much stalking just without moving out their comfy chair.
-
Dont forget the fact that ALL the hose fittings onthe dengura are the same, unlike the magura. So if you bust one cylinder you can just use any cylinder unlike at the weekend where my mate had a very very lazy piston and the only spare slave I had was the wrong side and as it was not universal fitting hoses could not use it.
When you actually buy one and own it the differrences in price become clearer. The fact you are getting some nice mounts worth £25 and some pads worth £15 with the brake pretty much makes the rest of the main brake not too much more expensive compared to the magura. Its £70 for a single magg and £135 for a single dengura, its like the BB7 vs Mono Trial, is it worth the extra money for a bit of CNC and a few extra nice design ideas ???
-
I did not do the maths on my earlier idea but you got what I meant.
-
I do think a reward scheme wouldnt go a miss. Seeing as I personally spend a lot with tarty it would be nice to be rewarded in ways other than t-shirts, no offence guys but I find it hard to vary wearing 8 differnt t-shirts along with my other ones
For every £100 spent get 10 points, 100 points = say £5 off your next order, or something like this to reward customers who return etc. Possibly 100 points = free postage on large orders or something.
Just an idea to mull over.

You would have to compare the long czar and the gu.
I personally have the Czar and from my experience of frames, I do not get on with high bb, I find them sluggish and a pain to ride. Medium bb is a lot nicer I find, its a good balance.
Again though it is personal preference you will have to try them really. Even then the rest of the setup can make it ride totally different.
-
I think you would be better off waiting for some more DX10 cards or getting a cheapish DX10 card. Maybe even a HD2600 XT.
Its generally better to have a lower model but newer version than and older model and higher version as you have the advantage of having all of the new additions to the card, such as DX10 support, HDCP compatibilty, which you might think "I dont need now" but you might sooner than you think. Also they offer a more refined arcitechture such as stream processors and so on so forth.
I would do some reading up on the cards before you buy one. Also 1gb of ram on Vista for gaming, your a brave man. Most people complain about Vista being a memoery whore on 1gb running normal programs let alone games.
Also what processor do you have?

A few nice ideas might be:
Unlimited listing time - Can set a quick auction say 24 hours, or a longer one of 7 days or have an unlimited amount of time set at a rate of say 0.1% of the sale price is paid for the listing per day it is listed.
Feedback system - People can earn a reputation etc like ebay
Featured Auctions - Pay more to have your auction listed at the top of the lists when searching or browsing
Non Trials - Make it all cycling related, not as broad as ebay, but then it will have enough following from the cycling community, if you had BMX, Roadie, XC, DH, DJ, Trials you would get more customers.
Just a few for now, I am going to bed.
I think it is a good idea, a lot of people on here will moan saying "classifieds is good enough", personally I do not think it is, as within 1 hour your topic can be off the first page.
It will need more than 1 person to run it though, you will need a small team really, also might be worth looking into buying a script for auctions or finding an open source one (which I would reccomend) as there may be a lot of community additions for it that may be useful, also the documentation generally seems better and it is a lot easier to modify as you are allowed complete access to it all.
Another thing is that it will need A LOT of planning to actually pull it off, sit down with pen and paper and design it all, how your planning on having it all laid out, what will be on what page, how many pages, how to avoid duplication etc. I know this from my computing projects, a lot easier if you plan it all, and comment everything and document it so if you are 6 months down the line, find some code and are unsure what it does you can check it out.
Good luck though.

Some were tough, others were just quite long so you had to speed through some sections. Section 5 was tough with the sideways tree stump, that was a pain to fit a 26" bike on. They were all good sections though challenging but not too hard. Even with my bad score I felt I did well
-
It was indeed an awsome day, first time riding red and it rains most the time lol. I got 78 or so, not really fabulous but the grip levels were rediculous and some of the sections just turned into mud puddles, creation traction problems.
Very good fun though, will hope for a slightly drier trial next time. Some of the sections were quite tough I thought but it was my first time on red as I said. Gave my self one hell of a challenge and did better than I expected.
-
Dont forget that if they had HD-DVD drives, people would expect them to use that as the media for the games too.
They do not want to commit to one media either, they have said before, if HD-DVD flops and Blu-Ray booms, then they could make a blu-ray addon. It does not matter to microsoft which format wins, as they are not solely involved with one, unlike sony, which risked a lot onthe PS3 and blu-ray, but it might have paid off in terms of the format war not so much the console war. Which is a shame.

Thread tapping is generally exactly what it says, cutting a thread into the frame. I am pretty sure halfords and local bike shops can re-thread a bottom bracket.
Other than that, superglue it in
or get the welder out.
going to try get it replaced.

I have to say I have had a great experience with 3, converted many of my friends over to their network too. All of them have said they will not go back to anything else.
They offer fantastic deals, better than any other network, great phones, their 3g service is fab and their reception is second to none, there is no where I have been where I have no reception.
Customer support is also very good.
The 3g does not drain the battery its the phones, my phone the Sony K610i has very poor battery life as it is, not network related. Others have far better such as the K810i or whatever it is.
