Seems like it, i'm not fussed though really. My grind was classed as a nice sharp grind that should last a while Grinding thread

Nah, not really.

Yeah, as much as i hate mac activist guys... he's right. For thing like using clone tools and well generally 80% of the given tools a mouse is a little bit easier. Once you get used to them though you can use them for menu's and things quite happily, its just things like using different pressures and curved strokes where they come into their own. What i didn't know before i bought it is they are pressure sensitive too, so get the airbrush/paintbrush out and you can start a brush stroke lightly, then press harder and curve it and ease the pressure off again and you get a nice gradually smooth line. Which when used in painting/retouching is fantastic as its impossible with a mouse. I'm another wacom user

I have that, only i've not been hardcore enough to pass out from it. It just comes randomly really. I mean, i can run round a football field twice with 30kg of weights in a backpack without being too knackered so its not like i'm unfit. Its just randomly, like i had it once when i went out to play football with mates for about 10 minutes. I've also had it a few times while being out on and having gotten in from riding. I don't know the exact speed but i'd be suprised if it wasn't near the 200 mark. Guess next time i'll have to find out. Breathing does seem slightly trickier though, well not trickier... i don't really know how to explain it. Its like you have to breathe in and out more than normal, only your ribs don't quite expand properly so they're smaller breaths. And also your windpipe seems different somehow. Tell you what, stick a car sponge over your mouth and nose and try breathing still... its like that but without the nice smell of new car sponge. Never really been fussed by it, its not regular so i don't need to bother the doctor with it.

First thing. Redesigning them would be to improve upon their design. If somethings failing and taking other parts with it, a redesign is quite a needed thing. Secondly, they would tell people because its an honest and decent thing to do. Its called customer relations, if you don't give a toss you soon lose customers. Show them you care and they'll more than likely forget any little indiscretions older products might have had and will come back because you've earnt their trust. Thirdly.... again fitting in with the second point. Selling faulty products is a very dishonest thing to do. Theres also the remifications of being liable to breakages if they were to continue selling a product that fails, meaning losing out on money. If you don't believe any of what i've just said, heres chris's post, and yes... he is the owner of rimjam.

+ = Ryan leech + oldest member of hanson = you Apparantly i look like that paul o'grady guy. Meh, if ever i get my own tv show one day and rake in a load of cash and get invited to movie premieres when i'm retired i won't be saying no.

My 8 mb line has been reduiced down to 4 meg now because i was having a lot of instability with it. I'll be annoyed if it affects my torrents and downloads a lot though. Deonn, i think he was getting at the fact you have a speed far superior to anything uk lines can currently withstand and the only pheasable way to manage this would be to have an exchange next to your computer. Pretty sure the move up to 24meg nationally is going to push the lines where as you apparantly have a speed thats well over any 24meg line. It'd take you about 15-20 seconds to download a 700mb movie and a normal riding video from tv.isg.si would open instantaneously ready to play for you.

I always thought that was the other way round, i thought the furthest from the pivot point pulls the most cable through which exerts the most force and in turn provides the most power.
-
Agreed. Once you find the flange sizes and the rim ERD its all good, and the trickier part of truing it up is by far the hardest bit.
-
Ha ha, yeah ash... go brum. Its a fun day out... so long as theres no eggheads about.
-
Ha ha, loads better boumsong. Nice to see my blue pallet gator tooth is still holding up alright. Loads better than the first video... you seem to be doing alright on it too. Bit too much slow-mo though eh? And get that sodding tar off your rim, girly mouse squeak of a brake that is .
-
Thirded! Put mine on today, loud as f**k! Still slipping a bit because i had some araldite on the top of them... but they aren't slippping as much the more they VERY GRADUALLY wear down.
-
I was about to say the same. Think you'll either need to be riding into a wall or buying some new ones. It does look odd with such a large bashring... really odd. Maybe pick up a nice 16tooth burn bash off ebay? Seen one go on there for about £16 not so long back. You'd have to get a profile rear hub though... so what you save on the bash kinda gets doubled with the hub Heatsink bash/ring and smaller tensile freewheel?

WCS ritchey foam grips? Looks old skool, i like it. Could probably do with a proper paint job though.

Was a cool video that, really seemed to capture the atmosphere of the ride.

He can't harsh grind to save his life though. Pads: Rimjam v3's plastic backings. Time used: about 3 weeks Rim used: Echo 07 26" Grind: Mediumish... bordering harsh. $-5 weeks old nevertheless. Brake used: Maggie, RB lever. Opinion of a working brake: Nice loud noise when biting suddenly. Would hold well on a totally flat wall without slipping. Previous pads used: Where do i begin..... Plazzies, Koxx yellows & blues, Old rimjams, joypads, coust pads, heatsink blues, heatsink reds, tensile bubblegums, magura blacks (). Review: Nice loud noise at first it seemed to be a bit of a honker, then as the pads wore it got a bit more girly... probably in the last 2-3mm of the pad material. Bite was immense, with these pads i actually had enough confidence to start the whole apply the brake inches before you land thing and oh my gosh i'm hooked . The hold was okay i guess, if i was trackstanding and clamped the brake amply and REALLY pushed on the lead pedal it slipped a few mm and slipped on missed taps/gaps a bit but other than that, perfect. Pads were worn at some silly angle and still wanted to save my life everytime i hopped. All in all, VERY impressed. Now i have some rock pad blues... be back in a week or so

link Something like this would be an alright step up form your mod. Nice and short so not too much to handle. Seems to be around the same sort of budget too. Just have a look around on ebay and things and in the for sale section... no advertising in here obviously. There was a coust for sale a few weeks back, £200 with carbon bars, burns, and hope wheels front and back. BARGAIN!!!

Dear oh dear, you have a lot to learn.

Slow brain?

Haz plays games often. If he'd have played a lot in this sort of genre he may know what things to expect and being generally intelligent gets you through quicker. I'll always remember trying to complete halo in under 3 hours because someone told me i got something cool. I did it, and didn't get anything.

Bail, drunken late night typing ftl. 2 - 1 to you

Yeah, can't see ringing the Los Angeles Police Department as being a great help when having kids running over your car in the uk. Sorry to hear it joe, someone did that near us then did it the next week while we were all awake. Saw them, knew who they were and they got arrested for criminal damage. Legal system worked for once
