    New Tra Vids

    I cant even find a link to it, care to post one?
  2. Isnt that for all the welding gases to escape or something? Looks nice better without the stupid "danny butler" name on it. Yet another new inovative design from Onza, they are going in the right direction I think. Considering a few years ago they were known to snap and their components sucked. Now they are very good and if they didnt have an internal headseat I would buy one but I dont want a king headset lying around.
  3. Better to be safe than sorry. Keep it on you have plenty days of holiday soon (if your in year 11)
  4. Ive not a clue if its a newer version? Its the one with the laser cut out bits. Newest I know of and yes my mech decided to go kaboom down a hill and ripper 4 spokesout, I replaced them and I shall re-tension it today. The wheelbuild itself was great and when I get my new rim I'll deffinatly be getting it build by Adam again.
  5. They arny filmed on a Mini DV, my mates Sony Cyber Thing that does it at 640X480, although Mini DV in september. Thats why its low quality.
  6. When I select Microsoft DV AVI I get no other options. Works fine for me anyway.
  7. Well I did an extreme cut. To It was extreme but now Im growing it inbetween the two. And yes that hair was real and not photoshopped or a wig. Nor was it died, I'm a natural blonde (Y)

    Routers

    Most of my mates say to avoid linksys as they tend to screw up or something. I dont use one, my friend has a nice wireless phillips one. 54mbs 802.11g? maybe not up to date on wireless.
  11. Well surley it would be the area of the dartboard and the area of the tip of the dart giving however many different places of landing then doing something with that and the area of where the dart hit maybe? Im no genious so its a random guess. Nice shot though.
  12. What about the Avid discs, I've got a nice wavey 203mm. Came with it, I dont have a piccy though and dont know if they sell them seperatly. Its the one that comes with the Juicy 7 but they sent it with my Mechanical 7.

    Rims

    Right. Ive half broken another rim and wanted to see what people reccomend. Ive had a drilled BMF, flat spooted that, I've had an Echo and I've flat spotted it and as far as i remember I havent even gone big, no drops over 5ft, biggest gap is about 8ft etc. Im tempted to get another Echo rim as I like them but I havent tried the hog or ronnie so I thought a poll would help me decide. So comments on the rim you use if its not up there would be cool too, as I know Koxx rims are the same as hogs without eyeletts. Cheers Nick
  14. You need to select "WIndows AVI" on the main settings screen, then "None" on the video tab if you with me. Its the screen you get when you go to File>Export>Move> then click settings. You can thave an uncompressed wmv as far as im aware as wmv is the compression.
  15. Export it uncompressed, then compress it with something like Tmped or MainConcept. Be warned though the file will be huge 4 mins usually turns out at about 9gb on my pc.

    A Switch!

    Ditto, you can see there is a wall below where he went from Im guessing otherwise he would be as good as the world champs. Looks about 25" odd. Correct me if im wrong.
  17. Ive already got an XTR (Y) I was tempted to buy some braided hosing for the Avid Mech but thought about changing the actual system too. As for Hopes, great discs deffinately, but, I've always hadproblems with them leaking, all 5 of them. Also they dont have the adjustability of the others I've mentioned.
  18. If you need a new headset and have a normal headtube, try and geta Hope or a King expensive but worth it. 9/10 your problem is not tightening the headset correctly.
  19. Do you have 3-5mm between top of stem and top of the steerer tube? Is everyting correctly in place, ie all bearins in etc havent forgotten a part? Is it tight enough?

    Discs

    Hi there. I have an Avid 203mm already, its very nice indeed very pleased with it, but I still prefer the feel of a hydraulic disc. However much you clean the cable put new stuff on etc hydraulic always feels nicer. However I'm still unconvined as to getting a hydraulic for the £130 it would cost over the Aivd Cable. The reason I have narrowed it down to the Camino and the Juicy 7 is that they are both adjustable, which I find a factor in brakes. I have been tempted by both but after using the Avid Cable Im not to sure what to do. My Avid atm it 203mm and if damn powerful, the Camino would be the 8" version and a 203mm Juicy 7 if I were to change. So help me decide. Ive heard good things about all of them. Money isnt an issuse so if anyone mentions "its not worth paying another £60 on top" Im not bothered its not a value for money situation. Cheers Nick
  21. Did you rip the cup out too as if you did then buying a new BB wont really help unless its a threadless one. As everyone said wrenching it off was dumb. If the crank extractor fails, tap it off with a hammer however long it takes its better than what you did.
  22. The normal low rise bars are erm weak to say the least. I had them for 3 months and cracked them and I wasnt even going big. They flexed alot although I have found one thing they are good at. Being a 30" extender for tools, extra leverage, who needs a torque wrench when you can use old Koxx bars. Go get some Zoo! bars or something. Be a better way to spend money IMO. I run pazzaz bars and love them so either Zoo or Pazzaz/Onza.
  23. I liked the blue too BUT it looked so bad after a few scratches as the paint came off too easily. It was cheap paint and in summer it probaboly will be sprayed. The paint was down to bare metal in one coat of nitromors. Thats how cheap it was. Mixed opinions I must say, yes it is long low and silver like most bikes. Needs stickers now.
  24. Well I havehurt my right tricep and cant ride to well and also paint scratched to easy off this. So I thought, mmm what can I do to make it better. Well of course take the paint off. And also a few other touches. What does everyone think? Comments welcome. Also Im thinking black rear mech (105) as mine broke the other day and braided hosing with a new front tyre that will be black. What do you think I need for it.
