Cheers Adam, will do that later tonight and report back. I would prefer not to face the disk mount to be honest, a bit too much hassle.

Right, I have had my mono trial since the new year, it started out very good very powerful, then bent the rotor so I changed it, got another hope rotor, this didnt seem as powerful so I bled it to see if it helped, still the same, was not really holding properly and the lever travel was insane. I then thought I would buy a new rotor as I bent this one too, got the V!Z rotor as it was the only 180mm rotor in stock and some new pads, even after 2 weeks it was still bad, so I took out the pads, lightly sanded them with some very fine sand paper, put it all back together. Still not holding properly. I cannot think what else to do, its just not locking properly and the lever travels quite a bit still, I have notice there is some black grime around the caliper which I was assuming was water + dust/pad wear etc, I have cleaned this off as best I could so far, but before putting it all back together and bleeding it has anyone else had this problem and how did they sort it out?

All I will say is, IF they use the BT lines you had better be close to the exchange otherwise your "8mb broadband" will be about 1mb as my friend found out, it even says somewhere in the smallprint "Speeds advertised at maximum, it depends on your area as to which speed you will recieve". I personally would go with Virgin, as they use fibre optics and its just fantastic, full speed all the time, it has a 50:1 connection ratio but I have never had any problems, my 4mb line is always 4mb and will constantly download at 480kbps or faster from a good server. Customer service is really good and if you burn out a modem or two, they will replace it, and my friend burnt out 3 due to a Virgin fault, the knocked £10 off their billl for life because of the hassle of 3 engineers. Problem was the exchange is right outside his house and too much power was going through the cable. Top notch.

You will need to phone Dave Bradley, oh which you can get his number on the website. You will need an ACU license as well which Dave should be able to sort you out with. I think this might be a little bit TOO short notice but I am sure he will do his best to get you in. Good luck and see you there sunday.

Ewwwww skank. Get a Kot MS2, have a change of bike OR go back to your Levelboss 1065 for the pimp factor.

I used one the other day, hated it, damn thing, was on the phone, it touched my cheek and it hung up, I am pretty sure that somehow my cheek managed to end the phone call. Too expensive and techy for a phone, I need it to phone and text, occasionally browse the web, but very occasionally. I shall not be getting one.

We used to have about 6/7 riders who would come out, now its about er 1, which is me lol, sometimes 2 when my mate is back. Would be interesting if there was a way of collecting stats every 3 months on how many riders there were in each county, shame its a pain to do it as not everyone will be using tf.

All I shall say is call it a sidehop, I doubt many people know what a cherryhop is, and it also sounds stupid, will save people thinking your retarded.

Mines fine, I swear half the people who have used them dont know how to actually set up brakes properly. Mine is bled with with and until the other week was fine, then it went slightly sponey because it had somehow got air into it, rebleed its fine, none of this weird spinning around the bolt stuff of munching tpas. They are fine so long as you can actually look after bikes, simiarl to kings you need to service them.

Those are some mental conditions, I hope essex is not like that next weekend.

If I am asked to move on, then I do so. Whilst I am moving though, if there is a sarky comment or even just a word, usually me and my mates, will then put bags down quite roughly to prove a point and make sure we get in the way, anything more said then the insulting begins. We were riding in a relatively quiet area of town, some little girls started bithcing, they were about 15/16 usual shit etc, then some faggot who we all know as "gay tom" comes over, starts giving us some shti because of what was goign on, he sat in the way, so as usual we carry on riding. Then we stopped for a drink and the p**** comes over and starts kicking my mates bike, bent his disc rotor as well which made a horrible noise. At this point we left, we came accross some coppers who had actually seen the whole thing on CCTV, apparantly this guy causes a lot of trouble and we were told, by coppers, if he gives you any hassle hit it. After moving on, about an hour later we went to pizza hut which was opposite the area we were before, to our disbelief the old c*** comes over with his possy of 15/16 year olds, starts giving us some shit, so my mate had enough, whacked him one, knocked him out and left him on the floor, the girls then left appropriately tails between there legs, nothgin more was said and the coppers turned a blind eye as they saw it all happen. Mainly because we had seen these coppers a lot and they know our situation with the council turning down plans for a trials park and the insurance issue with the skate park, so they are generally ok and just say "can you come back later its a little busy now" and we oblige no problems. At times you need to move on, othertimes you have to stand up for your right of freedom. Generally I do not get too many problems as I tend to ridein the evening so I can get to all the best spots without hassle.

Cheers Add, the finish on his work is actually immense. Im almost tempted to anodise my frame orange or something maybe get a few parts done too Cheers for the link.

Im suprised they are not all CNC'd seeing as deng loves his CNC machine. Most people wake up and have breakfast or a shower, deng gets up and goes CNCing.

At that price I think I shall either stay white or remove the paint. Cheers though.

Does anyone know where I can get my frame anodised? I know Adam has done it to his mod frame just not sure where he got it done, dont suppose anyone knows?

Im on the dual 22" widescreen band wagon. Fantastic it is.

No need for a new topic, just change the name. I would say pro 2's front and rear, dengura/magura on the rear with braided hosing and some CNC pad backings with whichever compound you prefer. Echo external ISIS bb, from experience very good and reliable. Then if you want to try a different gear ratio like I did the Echo CNC cranks are very strong and relatively light, otherwise middleburns or something similar. Echo rims for extra strength or koxx/replicas for some weight saving. Probaboly some fom of riser bars with a 120mm stem and about 15/20c rise, a front Magura Marta (yes I went there), rohloff or 74 kingz tensioner, some standard cassette, some maxxis tires, bog standard tubes, I would reccomend lockon grips, KMC SS chain, Magnesium pedals with ti axles, hope internal headset then if cash spare pimp it with either coloured alu bolts or ti bolts from pro bolt. That would be my spec anyway, or will be my spec

Anything with 2 outputs will do really, I personally chose my ATI card as its got very good video decoding features, but basically unless you play games you should have no problems with any card from the x600 and above or the 6600 and above, even a 7300 would be fine.

Im 26% gay, apparantly not gay enough for women these days. Pretty amusing, trying to get 100% is hard.

If the bearings fall out, you have a pretty serious problem.

Pull hard, then keep pulling, then pull some more. Then it pops off so avoid pulling towards your groin.

They have some new cameras that take your speed about 1 mile away before you spot it, I dont think they are implemeneted in too many places, generally in places with long straight roads so it wouldnt be that cam be be warned. I am pretty sure they could get you round a bend otherwise thats a huge oversight in the speed cam system.

Under 32bit that may be slightly true, but in general, if you add more ram there is a performance increae, Windows will load more in to the memory so its faster loading programs, things like iTunes will also use more depending how much is spare, and well firefox has a memory leak so more is always helpful. I run 4gb ram and its uber fast, but I am on 64bit OS so it actually gets some use, just loading into windows, and msn uses 37%, add some music and firefox, 50%, then add a virus scan about 60%, still space to run more programs, plenty more, add on top of that Visual Studio, compiler etc, usuall gets into the region of 75/80%. More ram is always handy, I still have 2 sockets spare so I can get 8gb in here, but thats overkill. As for your problem, if your filling all 4 ram slots, the last of your worries is having it in the 1, 2, 1, 2 order, I think you find on most motherboards unless stated that if your using 4 slots to disable Dual Channel ram as I dont think many older mobos support 4 socket dual channel. Most newer ones do I think but check the manual to see if it supports dual channel over 4 slots as logically speaking, it becomes quad channel. What quad you running?

So you turn the screen off, then on and it says no signal input HOWEVER the pc is still turned on? AND then pc is not picking up key input? Are you using a wired keyboard or wireless?

I do not have a vid of it, although I know there was one made, I am pretty sure it was BikeShow 04. When ever Andy P won (I think) and fat mike broke some forks and borrowed some or superglued some together, never cam remember what happened.
