Point your eyes about a foot onto the pallet when your intending to land. I do the same thing i can see you doing and your looking at the corner of the pallet becuase that's what feels natural. Every time i repeatedly fail a gap i get boumsong remind me i'm not aiming to land in the right place, i look one foot further onto the pallet and i land on the edge. I think my natural "effort needed calculator" part of my brain is slightly out

KFC is about as close to good, useful chicken as a big mac is to a steak. Besides, maryland chicken is waaaay better I very much agree about the free weights point. Free weights are very versatile and can be used to replicate pretty much every machine in the gym. A bench and a set of free weights is all i've ever had at home and whilst i do lack in commitment to training and seem to have the same weak areas as yourself, i'm not the smallest person in the world, despite the disadvantage of me being tall/long limbed. I find the free weights give a more overall workout whilst still targeting your intended muscle group. I've always looked at gym machines to be too specific for their own good. Besides, it's much more rewarding to go it old school and lift a big block of iron than to pull on a lever that drives a belt and turns a cog that then lifts a weight

It's called a booking fee or a holding fee. In 99% of cases it is completely non refundable. It's basically the estate agents way of making money and stopping people messing them and landlords about. The fee is to cover the cost of them setting up the deal in the first place and to cover them in the possibility of having to re-advertise for a new tenant, which in this case they will do. If you think £150 is bad, take a look at the private letting side of life. £100 booking fee (non-refundable) £125 referencing fee (per person, non-refundable) Months rent up front Deposit equal to 1 and a half months rent (refundable subject to t&c's) 2 People moving in would lose £350 and never get it back for the effective privelage of the estate agents spending 2 minutes on the phone with your old landlord/employer and saying "hi, Mr **** is moving in, can you please forward a reference to this address?" Even if you find someone else i wouldn't be entirely surprised if they keep your £150 and still charge the new person £150 too.

Surely theres a faster way? My phone is: Take photo, browse to website, upload photo.

I've no idea in terms of cyberspace ideas, it always seems like the most unsuspecting of things are the ones to make it big time. Ebay, myspace, facebook, google, hotmail, all simple things in esence that fit the majority of the population. Groupon might be another fairly large one sometime soon, it seems to be increasing it's audience all the time and does have some okay things on there from time to time. Though at the moment it's mostly adventure days, meals out or haircuts. Given that most of the big things are methods of interconnection between people i think the next big thing would be like second life, only better and accessible through any computer/mobile device. Second life seems too downgraded graphically at the minute to really appeal but the idea of a virtual world with even a virtual cinema, virtual shops and well implemented voice chat is rather interesting. To be able to sit at home and look at a product in rotational 3d instead of a poorly lit pixelated photo would make online shopping much better. It would allow people to work from home in the virtual shops as assistants, creating more jobs and making online shopping a more enjoyable experience. At the minute my buying process is find a product, find reviews, compare similar products, then hunt around for the best price. If that could all be done from a single virtual location it'd save a lot of needless rummaging on my part. In terms of hardware..... Physically smaller and potentially bigger is where it's at. Organic tech. The next big thing will be having the hardware physically with us, all the time. Imagine a contact lens that shows you the time or the temperature or wireless access to the internet in or just outside your direct field of vision. Imagine going to pay for something in a shop and having your credit card details linked to your biochemistry, through an implanted chip or a simple Organic circuit tattoo, to both prevent identity theft and allow for purchase simply by waving your hand under a scanner. No more cards, no more paper money. Or at a real push of the imagination a memory cell implanted in the brain that you can choose to store your memories and any important information on. Once we figure out how the brain translates and uses the electrical impulses it wouldn't be too hard to replicate that and link it in. At it's furthest point we could effectively run our bodies like a thin client and be able to restore our memories to a new body should anything happen to our existing one.

But it's okay for handlebars?

My RB is fine with water. The design works fine with water, just in some cases the brake you own may have defects or damage so the water loss is noticeable compared to a better condition one.

I did for a while, but having the weights in a messy bike room meant i ended up not moving everything out just to do a bit of excercise so i just stopped. Now i have space in the garage i'm going to get back into it again. Though to be honest pete i would just cut all the crap. I'm going to be a bit presumptuous here and say that as you specified all the chemicals you're taking and haven't posted anything about your diet that you fit into the "student trend workout". I know you aren't a student but the group is those that take all the gimmicky products taking them massively seriously but complimenting them with a kfc for dinner or a pot noodle for lunch. Paying for products and skimping out on ACTUAL food is the wrong way around. You need to make sure your diet is spot on to see the biggest gains. Brown pasta, chicken, tuna, eggs, brown rice, boiled fish and veg. And above all PLENTY of water. You'll find that as you start out you naturally see a big burst of size gain for the first 3-6 months. This is normal and nothing to do with the chemicals, this is your bodies way of reacting to the sudden change in muscle use and would happen without a makeshift science lab for a kitchen. My advice, eat well and buy QUALITY food, use simple whey protein to aid with muscle repair and make sure to change your routines every 10 weeks or so as your body will revert to the beginners gain mode again if you shock it by mixing up your routine. Also, I took creatine a while back and found the side effects worse than the benefits. Creatine is supposed to draw water into your muscles and so you need to increase your water intake. Following cause and effect you end up needing to piss far too frequently for everyday life. I also found that the creatine caused my muscles to cramp a lot earlier during excercise especially when going out riding. I stick very firmly by the old school method of free weights and whey protein only.

Because there's more of a chance of people realising that you exist and voting you in to be a member. Helps if you use proper grammar too

Just head into town from the silk mill. You should find the garden area near the bus stops/taxi ranks and then the crown courts is an alright place to ride as well. EDIT: Just spotted that you were going yesterday... oops.

He rides a big wheeled bike though. I run 18:15 on my limey with a 128 and trialtechs and i have loads of room. To remove your cog you'll realistically need a vice.

I doubt it, it's already pissing it down.

No way, it's going to be throwing it down all day.

How Does A Hi Roller Single Ply Compare To The Lightweight Conti's
Krisboats replied to CC12345678910's topic in Trials Chat
About the same as a soft maxxis, i've had two bettys in the last year and the first was second hand and quite well worn. Second still has loads of tread left. -

Well i've hammered mine into all sorts of things and i've only had the one pinch puncture. I'm not the lightest of people either at around 16 stone. I tend to find my rim will dent before i get a puncture. I'd say it's not quite as good as a dual ply maxxis, but if, for example, a maxxis is 100% puncture resistance (i know it's not, but lets just say it is for now) then this big betty is somewhere in the 85-90% range. My mountain kind 2.4 wire bead would have been around 4-6% -

This is the one you want. The freeride 2.4 version, with the folding sidewalls, in the gooey gluey compound. The details and chart can be seen on their website here. It fits in a t-rex no problem as i used to ride that frame. -

Schwalbe big betty. Under 900grams, just as good pinch protection as a dual ply maxxis and nice big tread nobbles. Cheaper than the conti's too. -
It is fixed, has been for ages. I just left you a feedback from some random topic http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?app=feedback&u=6335

To be fair there is a feedback system on here for each member, you can search for any threads regarding their selling habits and if you're still unsure you can make a judgement call based on their posts. We also have the disputes section to raise and resolve any problems. 99% of sales go through without a problem, just be sensible about it.

Currently cheaper at tesco, also for the steel tin.

Yeah, i forgot to say the storyline and 80% of the acting is pretty dire, but the aerial flight scenes are fantastically crisp and fast paced with great cgi work on the planes. Shame they couldn't have used the same kind of budget elsewhere really.

I have a lovely sammy lcd too (led is the same as lcd screen wise, just a different backlight). Make sure to pick up a copy of UP and give it a spin. If your brotherss screen is anything like my 7series you'll really appreciate the film and it'll really make the tv shine.

Only on the audio side, too much induced film grain on it to make it really stand out as a decent visual standard. In order of visuals... Up - the pixar animation (the colours and clarity during the balloon release scene was fantastic, add to that a witty and clever stoyrline and fullscreen 1.77:1 ratio makes it a great showcase film) Avatar Dark knight Transformers 1&2 Iron man 1&2 Band of brothers boxset (fullscreen 1.77:1 goodness again, less than £18 in tesco too) Stealth

I already wrote out a lengthy reply but unfortunately the hotel wi-fi is playing up. Pete, you claim to know nothing of the top gear saga, just search your own account on here. You copy and pasted a section from the bbc website (including pictures of the finished rocket) and claimed on here it was an email you were sent about an upcoming episode. If you can't see where you earned the fail award there then you're an even bigger tool than i thought you were. I'm with JD on this one. Even in this thread you've tried to worm your way out of things and have shown your complete lack of disregard to mistreated buyers within just the past few weeks. I'll personally ensure anyone that might trade with you is given the full picture before doing so. At the end of the day you're here to hock your leftover crap to some young riders who you hope won't know any better in a longwinded attempt to avoid ebay fees. You're irresponsible and inept with being truthful. Anyone who trades with you should expect to be dissapointed.
