  1. Xoftspy is a fast scanner, should do the whole pc in a few measly minutes and picks up a few things the others miss. If you've been looking for serials for things i'm sure you have no moral barrier to stop you finding a torrent for it from somewhere... most have the keys in with them too. I have comodo and avg running all the time. And have ad-aware, bugdoctor and xoftspy as "extra measures". Havn't had a nasty on here in a while now, never have adware/spyware. The CCleaner trialspimp suggested should help to clean off some unneeded crap and give your pc a bit of a speed boost.
  2. ditto. Just built my pro 2T onto an echo 07 the other week. 258 is the right length for both sides. Bought my spokes from chainreactioncycles too and they were here within 12 hours Proper good service. Come with a load of nipples too.
  3. If its all new and you havn't put enough grease on the joining parts, it may just be rubbing when a lot of force is put on it. Thae it all out and regrease the bb cup threas, axles and crankbolts... as well as the pedal threads.
  4. dunelm had some stand alone dehumidifier/humidifier/air conditioning units last time i went. Didn't really have a proper look at them so i dont know if they're the air coolers you don't want but they were around the £100 mark.
  5. If its one of those pet beds with the built in food/water bowls then they're already out mate I thought it was possible to get a provisional patent on something so if you couldn't afford to patent it then you could do the provisional thing and contact companies about joint production on the thing and payment of the full patent.
  6. Yeah, i think it was adam form tartybikes who wrote it on here aaaaaaaages ago, might be wrong but i'm 80% confident it was him.
  7. Short version: Ridings a hobby, it wont get you anywhere. Stop riding and get off your arse to do some work. Excessively long version: You think your the only one who doesn't like revising? Just do it, its not like its hard. Read soemthing enough times and it'll eventually sink in, or find a different method of learning. For me, browsing the internet is a great source of learning... i've learnt countless things by reading them on the net and for some reason they always stick. So maybe try looking through something like wikipedia on things like lower level algebra and stuff. If it doesn't work, try notes or something like that. You don't even have to really do a lot compared to the rest of your time. If your on study leave, then doing 3-4 hours a day is fine... better than none at all. And you get to have a play on the bike in the time around it. Don't f**k up and miss out on doing well. I messed up my a levels for 2 years consecutively as the good weather comes about at just the same time as exams. i ended up failing the first year, studying for retakes as well as the rest of the work, then messing up that year a bit too and stopping on ANOTHER year to finish and impove on my messed up grades. So because of my failure to do any work in the first year, my second was harder and i did worse in that one too... a knock on effect. I regret it a lot, mostly the course choices i made (a level maths ftl) but now i've come out of it and am doing a foundation art course with the promise of a place so long as i pass this year. Now i've been riding again when i should have been working, but i've spent little bits of time doing work in between riding, so now all i have to do is print some pictures out and write up about what i've done for tuesday. It makes everything a lot easier if you put in smoe time every now and again as a contribution to the whole. I've now got high end gcse's (A, 7xB's, C, D) and some a levels (C, 2xD's, E), and hopefully soon to be a btec diploma. I dont know what i'm going to do when i'm older but theres no money in trials riding (apart from setting up a shop), so get yourself set and then play. Its like 3 weeks, live with it!
  8. Your not clamping it too hard in the brake clamps are you? It is possible to overtighten the clamps and put enough strain on the pistons to stop the cylinder moving properly.
  9. Rags? I'd hardly call them rags. The non zhi clothes look like they're from primark or tk-maxx
  10. So the mod gets rear disc mount but not the stock..... great
  11. Yep, worked fine for me with ali-c pads, plazzies, cousts, koxx yellows, and rimjam v3's. Turn the grinder on and push them on the side of the blade. If anything, they were heaps better after using the grinder.
  12. Did you have a look? Its got people from all over on it, including canada. We have a few canadians who say hello in here from time to time as well. As for getting validated quicker... theres a help section at the top of the page, it tells you in there.
  13. 1100 wheelbase, +20mm bb rise, 380mm chainstays. Because i'm huge.
  14. Guy in the middle with the green helmet, bike directly underneath him in that picture. Forks look a bit bent
  15. Stretch a bit first, relax... don't tense up. Loose muscles help by giving more room for compression, meaning more force is put into jumping. Also helps with smoothness. Try and exagerate the move slightly, aim to jump higher than you need to and you'll make it much easier. Lean back and down more while on the rear wheel before jumping forwards (called preloading), this in much the same way as stretched muscles, gives you more room for leverage as you pull yourself forwards, which in turn gives you more momentum. Practise helps a lot too.
  16. Exactly bens point, nothing more needs saying.
  17. And almost pointless at such an early stage of riding. Wait till your a bit better, then release a video. We've all done it, we all learned that lesson. Give it another 6 months or so or until you can gap without looking like you have broom handles in your shirt sleeves and strapped to you back and then make a video. You and everyone else watching will appreciate it a lot more.

  19. Mine cost £3, but is the same one a local bike shop had been using for 4 years when i bought it. Its lasted me just under 5 years now and will split/join anything, even the silly huge kmc chains. I've got about 12 of those in my toolbox that have snapped.... i wouldn't trust them at all. Its not so much that the links stretch, its that the mushroom bit gets sheared off. If you join it back together straight the outer link doesn't get stretched at all and fits the pin nicely.
  20. The ginger one!, Eva Longoria is where its at
  21. Why is drilling the last option? Monty are one of the very few companies who do sloped stems, so your almost going to have to buy one of these and drill the hole bigger in the monty top cap. Its not really too big of an issue is it?
  22. Exactly, its not hard to join a chain, slide the link out, place the chain in place and screw the link back in... if it gets overly tight lossen off, give it a wiggle to settle it in place and proceed to slide through. Its tits that join it wonky and snap half the pin head/link hole off that snap them so much. My last kool withstood a solid 2 years of riding and had been joined hundreds of times.
  23. To be fair though theres a subtle difference. The on/offers in here are saying that doing a sidehop much higher and not being able to physically hold it because they're tucked so much still counts. In that video, the first 2 on/offs involve 180's afterwards... which is blatantly intended and the third one is an on/off/on which again, he kept and held before doing it again.
  24. My speakers aren't even that good. Just saying i can't imagine how poor the speakers must be.
