  1. Personally i wouldn't leave just a degreaser like wd40 in my hub. Once its gone the hub will be running dry which is not going to be good on the internals. I'd put a couple of drops of light oil in there personally, and as adam suggested a bit of grease on the jinges/joints should help things last a little longer.
  2. Does it for me as well. I can only imagine its something to do with the "-" marks between the words in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
  3. Looks alright to me dude. I've also had a fiddle and worked out you can get pictures of the places to appear instead of just text. So you click on the marker and up pops a picture of the place you want. In order to do this you need to set the image to 320x240 and upload it onto the wiki thing through the upload function on the main wiki page (bottom left section of the navigation bar) The name you choose for the image while uploading is the name you want to put into [[image:examplename.jpg]] marks in the markers text box. When you come to click on the marker the image will jump up. Have a look round the leicester wiki map for a couple of examples.
  4. I suppose thats one of the benefits of an editable system, should be alright now... give it a whirl.
  5. Okay, fixed it. I'd copied the Lat/Long from the top of the T-f reply page and put the name leicester after it. What you ACTUALLY need to do is click the link to the page. Here. Click the "edit" button for the bottom of the post. Click the little bit of text saying "make a map", its a small hyperlink at the top of the forum text edit box under the little tool icons. Click AND DRAG the place into position, zooming in if you want to get some proper accuracy on it. If you keep single clicking on the map you'll add a load of random markers so remember to hold it down and drag the map about. If you do make a random marker you can always click the remove link in the markers text box to delete the marker. Or search for your town in the search box. Zoom all the way to your town you going to be editing, until your happy that point rightly deserves to mark the centre of the town and single click once. This will add your new marker and in the text box for it write [[put your place name in here]]. Then click save and exit in the bottom left of the markers bubble. When you've done that copy the text for the place you added under where it says "Below is the Wiki mark-up to create the map above. Clear all points" (don't click clear all points as this will wipe the points from the map and they'll need to be re-done) The actual text should look something like: <googlemap lat="55.002826" lon="-1.757812" zoom="5" width="300" height="425"> 51.500152, -0.126236, [[London]] 52.241256, -1.845703, [[Birmingham]] 53.304621, -2.285156, [[Manchester]] 51.344339, -3.164062, [[Cardiff]] 52.636201, -1.133051, [[Leicester]] 52.771941, -1.206222, [[Loughborough]] 57.183902, -2.109375, [[Aberdeen]] </googlemap> Paste that into the main forum text box, at the end of the list that was already there. At the bottom you'll see the save page box, click it and marvel at how you've now got a tag for your town Part Two: Making your riding place map Right, now i'm kind of making this up as i go along and could be misisng bits out. So to make your riding places you need to click the hyperlink in your town name box that you just created. Do this in the normal map view so you won't be in the post editing bit yet. This will automatically bring up an editing page for your town. Click the "make a map" link to open up your map window. Search for your town in the search box as it will have automatically positioned you somewhere in america. This is exactly the same principle as for the main map. Firstly, you'll need to set the zoom level, for Leicester's zoom level i put in 14 as it shows the whole town pretty much and the riding spot tags should be fairly spread out. You can also change the size the map window will be displayed as, again i set it to 425x425 because it shows pretty much all the places. Click the save button in the bottom left corner of the box to save the starting point for your new map. Add riding places to your towns map If your coming along and someone has made your towns tag you'll only need to click on the town name from the main map, click the edit post button like a normal forum post and click the "make a map" link. Find the riding place and single click to place a marker at your riding spot and type the [[placename]] of the spot into the markers text box. Click "save and "exit to update the little section of code with your new marker name and location details. When you've finished adding your places copy the section of text with your new locations in, above the Note:.... and paste it into the main text box at the end of the locations that were previously there and click the save button at the bottom of the post when your finished. (Please note, copy and pasting the whole section will leave the camera view at the last place you were looking, so don't copy the top section with the lat/long and the zoom details).
  6. I think you need to. I tried having a go based on what you wrote in the earlier post and for some reason Leicester is in newcastle :$ . Seems when i zoomed in for leicester and added it as a place it went walkabouts once i'd zoomed out again.
  7. Thats your problem right there. The force the waters coming out at excites the water molecules and you get random pockets of air/hydrogen coming out.... which will now be inside your brake. You need to do it with still water or at the most, to squirt it through with a syringe slowly.
  8. You f**king gyppo. That sidehop nearly half way through, on a grafiti'd wall..... din't count I can't believe your quitting man, why oh why would you do it? I'm shit, been riding for ages... never improve... and i'm still riding. Plan to be for a good while longer too.
  9. Ha ha, unlucky. My rents realised when i was 16 if i didn't wanna go they weren't able to make me. If they still make you go, maybe act up a little? Burp after eating and stuff like that. Fart near people and make sure to eat loads of beans, cheese and maryland chicken the day before so they stink up a treat. That way they may not ask you next time
  10. That'd be f**king insane! You could write the name of the place and what sort of thing it is... if people could be arsed, possible outside links in the speech bubbles to pictures of the places.
  11. Lemon Jelly? More specifically i reckon the track "his majesty king rahm" could be very much suited to beavers.
  12. Its the expressionism through pushing the boundaries of whats perceived as normal that we appreciate I just think its f****** good fun

    Stripping

    You need to slap more of it on then. It takes about an hour to strip a whole frame of its paint. Without leaving any little bits on.
  14. 1280x1024 actually But yeah, i was thinking of the one under it.. my bad. Its only slightly bigger in resolution though, especially as its the last number that counts for more. So the hit in perdormance isn't much at all unless your using 16xAA. Halo 2 is fully DX10, and had to be patched to be dx9 Lost planet is DX10, and an 8800gtx gets between 60-90fps in that at higher resolutions, hardly struggling wouldn't you say. Flight simulator X is DX10 too. Theres also Hellgate london, crysis, ET:QW, Bioshock and the new unreal game coming out relatively soon that will all be DX10 as is shadowrun... like i already said
  15. Your 18... tell them you had plans already . That Russell Peters clip was racist yeah, but not really funny. What really annoys me is little chavs. Not the ones my age, their usually alright and have at least some kind of respect for me. The little ones think they're harder than everyone and shout all sorts of crap at anyone they see. They also seem to be under the belief that anything you own is theres, they'll say stuff like "pass ma bike, goin shop f fagz"... only its my bike and i'm currently on a wall
  16. That 20.1" widescreen monitor will run at 1680x1050. Which is a lower resolution than a 17" square monitor. An 8600 would play most games at that resolution absolutely fine. For example. An 8600gts and an e6600 processor happily run CS:S at around 35-40fps with everything on max and 16xAA/AF enabled at the correct resolution for that monitor. It will play stalker at a whopping 60-80fps at native res too. There ARE games out that support DX10 actually, Halo2, CoH, Shadowrun, Lost Planet hell even microsofts flight simulator X makes use of DX10. Now that the drivers are maturing for the cards they are improving in speed with DX10 and should continue to do so for a fair while. And yes, the top end 8 series and ati 2900 series cards can handle DX10 alright, just with further driver changes they'll be able to handle it even better.
  17. eau de toilette for men - collezione
  18. Finished re-reading the Knights Dawn trilogy by Peter Hamilton this afternoon.... I'm way above your higher plain [/childish reply] Wear a helmet, its good!
  19. Yeah your backwheel hits the edge, but only about an inch or two under your bottom bracket shell. Nowhere near high enough to land it. I think the majority of brakes would struggle with that technique. With a front tap your body should follow a motion that leaves you without a need for a rear brake at all really. You tap it and suck it up and as you hit the corner the weight of you falling forwards puts pressure on the pedals and younatural lean onto the wall and make it. You can tap with a really piss poor brake and it'll be fine. Its just youyr technique that needs sorting not the brake.
  20. Theres nothing quite like the look and feel of a completely new and well built bike.
  21. Get a 130x15 degrees hi-fi stem with no stem stackers.... its sooooo nice.
  22. I'd say either get some of the old zoo pads for the front and keep the plazzies for your next rear pads/sell them to me. Or buy a front disc.... it was the best move i ever made.

    Brake Pads

    You used koxx browns on a light grind? Guess you got lots of grinding practise Plazzies are immense on a light grind. Joy pads like a medium grind, same with the phat pads i guess as they're the same compound. For someone who says all pads can be good given the conditions they are used under you go out and say you used all those pads on the same kind of rim surface, seems a bit hypocritical/stupid to me.
  24. QUOTE(joe b @ Jul 22 2007, 01:55 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>You're posting this question on a trials forum? I'm guessing yours answers will be rather biased... But, sorry i can't say that i've ever heard of the place, never-mind know what the riding is like! In that case, make sure to get some pictures for me, mate . Cheers, Joe. http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...ficial%26sa%3DN
