Couldn't find that user on Steam buddy. Added you other two though. User: sheep666 Anyone else interested in the new Deus Ex game?

My dad has gone tubeless after he got sick of punctures from thorns and glass. He's had it for about a month or 2 now and I don't think he'll be going back to tubes, he rides often and hasn't had a single puncture since changing. You can get kits which allow you to remove the valve and fit a normal tube in the case of a severe puncture that the sealant can't deal with which, IMO, eliminates the biggest weakness of tubeless setups. We've got a compressor at home so that makes life much easier with regards to initial set up.

Yeah I meant it tongue in cheek, I've got a friend who works at Team Lotus and know someone at Red Bull, they both work mental hours often. Heard mixed reviews about working at MBHPE, how do you find it?

Yeah I bet you never do an extra hours work there From memory you're Oxfordshire based so are you at Williams? They've just put up a bunch of new jobs which me and a couple of coursemates are looking at (final year Mech Eng).

Who the hell has time to check 3000 babies for the cutest anyway?

Cheers man, I will probably be down in Cheltenham Sunday morning so will be difficult for me to get to Lichfield in a timely fashion but I will bear it in mind. Probably a silly question but, is there room in the castle tent? That BBQ was far from proper hahaha

That film needs the viewer to have an imagination, that's how it works. There seems to be a certain threshold because people are either shit-scared of it or just think its a crap film...

So much of that is irrelevant to this topic I don't know where to begin. Some Easton carbon wheels are full carbon and offer clincher fitment for starters.

Any Southerners heading up on the Sunday? Begrudginly I have to attend a wedding on the Saturday and would love a lift if one's available

Yeah, but on a bad day when you get a real bad headwind, you haven't slept well and maybe you're ill, it could be an hour and a half or even more. If you've got to carry work gear there with you, 18mph average is pretty good going, by my books anyway! EDIT: This is from my experiences with a 9mile daily commute and assuming the problems would be amplified over a longer distance.

Depends what kind of contract you've signed. If your parents have signed as guarantors then yourself or them will have to pay the rent until a replacement is found.

I think he means use mineral oil instead of any DOT or similar fluid.

Carbon is very easily repaired. If a carbon wheel needs truing, either the spokes are knackered or the rim is cracked/snapped severely, CFRP stuff will deflect, but it won't yield. The thing stopping carbon rims (for the front anyway) appearing for trials is the tooling cost, it's very (very very) expensive to produce a decent mould.

Looks like the coils near the damping end are f**ked? They're much more bunched up than in the rest of the spring. Or is it a progressive rate spring?

Sounds like your best bet would be getting the BB faced. Torqueing it correctly will help but if you do them up as tight as you dare then a BB generally won't loosen. EDIT: If those are aluminium cups on the bottom bracket then you should use copper grease, although it's of no great concern on a trials bike since most people change frames/cranks etc more often than other cycle disciplines.

That's a very very strange failure

They're ace, but they're also out of stock

I've just tried it with a G25 and despite playing with the settings for ages it just feels completely dead to drive. A game as arcadey as that should be pick up and play fun, I don't want to root around menus all evening just to get some weight in the wheel and then when I manage that, find that there is absolutely nothing communicated to you through the steering. Such a dissapointment, cos I loved TDU.

I've been with my missus for 5 and half years and I still haven't heard her fart. True lady status: confirmed.

Well the relationship R=V/I is correct but I'm not sure how you should calculate the dropped voltage, I'd have gone with 9V too as I guess you want to drive the battery in reverse to charge it?

~34.8mm

Wish I could have gone but I had a BUKS round at Llandow. Heard there was SO much abuse from the DHers, especially towards the UoB guy who walked down that section every lap haha

If the designer has any experience with carbon then it will be reinforced appropriately in that area, it's so simple to do with a carbon lay up that it'd be mental not to do it...

Awesome video

As already mentioned, the issues are almost always from people riding on the cut stones. These are f**king expensive to buy, they take a huge amount of work to achieve a finished product and when some beginner comes along and is hopping all over them with his bashguard/ring they are being totally ruined. All it takes is a chip and you've destroyed what could be £100s of work. Most of the work there looks to be custom to order, so it's not like they can just recut it to a smaller shape and resell it. The poor guy has probably turned up on Monday morning to find his company's hard work damaged and then checked the CCTV to find us lot jumping all over them! If you're going to continue to ride there then stay off anything that has had any finishing done on it. People have mentioned staff being there and being happy for them to ride on the raw blocks, the owner might not be keen but if everyone sticks to that then we aren't actually doing much damage at all.
