ridiculous.

be involved in a life-endangering moment but make it out alive
random thing that comes to my head was when i tried to swim with my brother to a distant island using an inflateable, but got washed several miles out to sea. luckily i got rescued though!

it just depends on the person. i did maths and further maths and got an A, thought it was fairly hard but personally i found english MUCH harder, and got a C in that even though i really tried. most people would say it the other way round, but thats just cos im bollocks at writing but good at mathsy stuff.. perhaps ask yourself how you found gcse maths?

jt ive had a similar but ridiculously bad problem with my maggies, i just took the lever COMPLETELY apart and cleaned them entirely out, re-assembled and bled with water.
now i have no problems and i know my maggies inside out, i'd reccomend it.
p.s. i had to use a mallet and small allenkey/spoke
-
wow, im pretty impressed here.. what length is the chainstays? they look shorter than the old limey! and whats the frame weight?
-
Recognised a lotta the riding spots from places like sandbanks and poole, where abouts r u from? im from ringwood
-
Oh my!! The kid is totally awsome. How did he manage to manual a monty, mines impossible!!
hehe, montys gotta be one of the easiest trials bikes to manual?
after watching these two billoks vids on atm, i have to say he's a lot more genuniely skilled than i was expecting. sweet riding bud, keep it up! glad to see the power's getting used in those moves now you're growin up, cos ITS ALL ABOUT GIVIN IT THE BEANSPROUTS
-
wtf, amasing?
maybe the best wippersnapper ive seen.. the only one ive seen who can put some power into his moves, some of those gaps and sidehops looked fairly big!
-
LEL!
What can you expect? I've seen cigarette paper (thin paper y'all!) thicker than your sidewalls
but u cant tell from the pic that the sidewalls are thin? u can just see the top of the sidewall, which is thick?
id imagine its probably seen a few grinds though lol! ive only given it one or two average grinds, but it was a second hand wheel so I have no idea!
echo 07 it is
shame theres a long wait on the tarty wheelbuilds at the moment! ..a couple of months not riding.. 
-
Ive been well unlucky lately with my bikes
just got my rig built up after the front disk folded on a gap and now the rear sidewall ripped off on a gap too lol
Are the latest echo rims better than last years? I thought they were meant to be amasing, but people said things about them cracking last year?

I had to take mine all apart, and where the hose comes out push a spoke up inside to push the piston back out. And now I am very weary while bleeding the brake- if both bolts at the ends of the system are closed it's fine for the lever to be compressed and will return, but while bleeding I don't compress the lever fully! Hope that helps
-
dunno if its been said already cos i cudnt b assed to read through all the posts
but i ran the SLIGHTLY heavier (but still very cheap and light) american classics hub from tarty (which is more lightweight XC than ultralight roadhub) worked flawlessly for me, id reccomend them!
-
you could have time-warped forwards in time after the passport expired, and hence be younger now then the passport says. so i dont blame them
-
Hopefully U'll get back into it, my broken ankle certainly didnt hinder me.. it was my wrist tendon/ligament damage which took/is taking much much longer to heal!

Hammersmith apollo in london i believe, a pretty big venue

Right, basically I met a stunner of a girl who I get on with great, but shes not 18 yet (although she looks about 19/20)
and we wanna see ricky gervais which is "no under 18s"
does anyone know, do they ID you or anything at the door? Or ID at all for that matter?
Cheers,

That, and the fact if you think about moments and forces, you're putting more force through the chain with a smaller ring, due to the increased leverage.Yeh, but then again the wheels are alot smaller, meaning they require less torque to get them to spin
Adam
the overall effective gearing (when you take into account the size of the wheels as a factor) is pretty damn similar on a mod and a stock though. Besides, to achieve the right gear ratio, if you get a smaller front chainring you generally get a smaller rear also, so no more tension?
why're you all paranoid about a 16t when mods have 12t on the rear and it's all goodtis true
Also, when you pedal, the force is going through roughly 8 teeth, so a far greater load spread across less area, hence they snap very easily.That sounds a bit more feasible though perhaps, but only if the load is spread across each chainlink which is engaged on the chainring (and not say if there was any slight slack between links when it's on the chianring, all the load would always be on the last link so it wouldnt matter on how big the chainring is)
Id still think the chainring size shouldn't matter much though , mods are a great example of this

Ive looking into this a lot because I have absolute killer hangovers all the time (e.g. yesterday i spent the whole day vomming). i hate those people who can wake up feeling fine (normally girls lol)
Hangovers are infact NOT all down to dehydration and loss of electrolytes, which could be sorted simply by downing lots of water and lemonade-y stuff
theres a lot more to it- if you check out some of the latest hangover-preventative pills and things you can buy (they work but I can't afford to use them all the time, they're bloody expensive) a lot of them have certain carbon-based ingredients which attatch themselves to the congeners/impurities found in your drink, which is left as a product of fermentation and often gives some drinks their flavour. Because this is done inside your stomach, absorbtion of it into ur blodstream can be prevented, but the alcohol is still absorbed. It really works- you don't get hungover this way, even though you can still get very drunk
So basically this means that in a way the above is partially true- there is no real hangover cure, only preventatives such as pills or drinking water to avoid the dehydration part, etc.
One thing you can do though is get your blood flowing so youre body can work faster at kicking those congeners out, e.g. sticking out the rough feeling and going for a jog. Im often not feeling upto it, but it does seem to work much, much faster on days when I have!

Why do people think that smaller front chainring puts more pressure on the chain? As long as you adjust the rear chainring accordingly so the gear ratio is different, there would only be two reasons I can think of to higher stress:
i) putting force through the drivechain with the back brake on, which we don't really do (chains go while you are in mid-pedal surge, not when the brakes are on)
ii) the bash being too small, so that the chainring/chain is exposed to the surfaces you go to bashguard on
but the second one is pretty valid.. Personally I'd probs still go for the heatsink just out of my preference

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/hope-185mm-disc-roto...1QQcmdZViewItem
Will this work?
Also, have people found that wavey-style disks work better than the standard circular ones? Is there noticable difference between different rotors?
-
Im in need of a new disk rotor for my avid bb7, which came with a 185mm rotor..
I'm running FATTY forks btw, don't know if this makes a difference since i know nothing about disk attachments, etc
Can i run a 205mm hope disk, or 203mm avid disk, without the need for additional fittings??
Also, what rotor replacements would you reccomend bearing in mind im not made of money? lol.
Cheers,
Scott
-
Just now was my first ride on the control and I was getting a bit too into throwing everything into my gaps to front on the my new control, when this happened
lol, ive never seen a disk cripple so bad without warning
anybody else had this with their avid disks?

Does look nice, but also does look longer, perhaps a little long for my taste. Also, the BB looks a bit heigher to me, if it is I'd prefer the older 221's I reccon, this doesn't look quite so bunnyhop-inspiring
