Don't some of them also leave an oily residue to stop food and grease sticking to the oven quite so easily in the future?

Your a beast though I'm sure that frame had more done to it than most have.

Before and after pics? Depending on how much is changed you could just swap the shit parts for ones you want and ride it anyway... just keep the parts on one side so you can swap them back if you need to. I mean, they've given it to you for you to use yes? Its a trials bike, things brake.... just say you replaced them because they broke?

What about the "i hate football because its a shit sport" people? Obviously thats my opinion, i'm not trying to imply the sport is actually shit, or that they use shit during the games.

I always thought the toxsin 1's were 1080/1085... hmm, might look into getting one myself. That geo sounds about perfect.

No-ones as cool as me, watching shipwrecked... i swear my internal sleeping clock is f**ked

Thats a very good point, and in this American-style, sue my parents for having the cheek to give birth to me kind of day we're living in i think its a case of a cyclist hitting anyone at all that will lead to financial repercussions.

Those two texts were me, thought i'd join in on this fun game :$

Assasinate him? Unfortunately not, until it becomes a real nuisance then you can go to the police etc and they can put restraining orders out or stop him from calling you... whichever you prefer really.

Most cycle helmets are designed to protect the head in a collison, if someones driving over your head with the weight of a car + passengers there aren't many helmets at all that would save your life.

Thats what i was trying to say earlier, just couldn't word it right Cheers poo

I didn't mean it in its proverbial sense, i meant as in walking across a road increases your chance of being hit, people crossing roads and people riding bikes on them have both increased the risk of being hit, although the bike would be on the road for longer. I know theres the chance of drivers making mistakes, but i've been hit twice as a walking pedestrian (both times driver error) and never hit once on my bike. Ha ha, oi you! I know i should wear a helmet if i'm just nipping down to the shops.... i just don't. If i'm out on the bike for a long time though i have my helmet on... besides, it'd take more than a car to kill me off

I used the good old get an allen key and spin it with your hand then finish it off with some mighty shoving torque. Its not a case of including coverage incase it happens its something that doesn't really need to be reflected in the price. If your changing someones inner tube and the mechanic snaps the axle trying to get the wheel out it should be replaced because he broke it, irreflective of the price of the maintenance. It might only be £5-10 to fit a new inner tube but if he knocks the bike stand over it hits a table and a workbench falls on the bike bending the frame, it needs to be replaced free of charge because it was his mistake that caused it. Obviously knocking over a bike stand and a workbench on top isn't something that happens frequently but the point is still valid.

That one was good, to be honest i think this series has been better than the first, which seems to be quite rare for a show nowadays. I can't wait for this season to pick up the pace from episodes 15 onwards like the last one did.

8-10 minutes to get a crankarm off? What kind of mechanic are you? 8-10 minutes to tighten it? , you gonna spin the lockring round with your tongue or something? On a brum ride me and kennard switched crankarms on our burns, whole job was done in ten minutes or so and that involved removing them, cleaning the splines, greasing them, taking the lockring and pedals off, cleaning threads again, attaching the bash and arms then attaching the peddles. Admittedly kennard was slower but he's only small () and i did such a good job i've not had to take the arms off again yet. BMW is a completely different example, like edd said, they're worth far more than the bikes are, theres generally more things in a car to fix/fiddle with and theres a chance it can kill/severely injure a fair few people if its not done right, unlike a bike where the chances of anyone being killed are minimal (being realistic).

Some people who commute to work on a bike need to look respectable at the office, putting a helmet on definitely ruins my hair do, I'd imagine its the same for everyone. I know its possible to get killed on a bike because your on the road, but you can also get killed crossing the road, nobody wears a helmet for that. Obviously its a shit comparison but theres risks involved in everything we do, we take it upon ourselves as responsible people to decide if its necessary or not for us to need one.

Just woke up, missed uni trip to oxford and might go get a sub of the day.

Leicester, birmingham, nottingham and coventry are all pretty close together.

Is it for the pc or a console? If its console it should have a .bin or .iso filetype where you just double click it and it opens with nero and you lower the burning speed and off it goes. If its for pc, then depending on how its been made its either going to be the same thing with a .iso file or its going to be a .rar. I imagine the .exe thing they're on about is a tpye of keygen or crack which shouldn't be talked about on here, but generally they come with everything else once you burn the cd and they give you those magic serial numbers that makes the game work. This really isn't the place for talking about pirated software though so i won't go into details.

I love how so many people have mentioned me I was 6'5" a few years ago, and having not measured myself since i just usually say i'm still 6'5"... some people think i'm around 6'6"/6'7" or something though. I don't stand up straight most of the time either so i can get away with being "normal"'ish. Thats almost blasphemous

Actually, theres a difference between the way windows and macs render fonts on screen and as such, macs have got the typography stuff down to a T. So many rewsprint comnpanies, graphic designers etc use macs because the fonts are rendered better. f**k knows why, f**k knows if windows has caught up yet but thats one of the reasons people will willing through money away on old hardware.

You missed one!

Roughly something like this mate:

"Krisboats is 23% gay! Loosen up my straight mate! These days women like a man with some softer edges to grab ontoE" Meh, should have had better questions really, FHM or gay times? £100 for a shirt might be reaonable, i'd want it to have some kind of jetpack in it though and lights on the front and it should be bulletproof too.

Becasue trials is really good fun to ride, but sadly most of the time with these standard inch counting moves all the time it just looks shit to watch.
