	Would be an idea. Also if you like faster paced games, check out the team swat multiplayer mode. It's no shields and high power rifles, Bout 3-4 shots to the body or a single shot to the head. Makes you lightening fast and you can easily win a 50 kill match in 10 minutes.

	I'd imagine you're only getting 3 kills because either: A ) You're shit B ) Everyone else is better than you krisboats2 is my live name, hit me up if you want to learn how it's done

				Has Anyone Run A Bashring On Their Bottom Bracket
Krisboats replied to EnnBee's topic in Trials Chat
If the chainline is already on the point of being too far 3-5mm for the bash could be enough to make it constantly jump and put a lot of excess stress on his chain. He didn't say he'd run the cranks before, just that he had them hence the explanation to how it would affect the chainline in more than one way. - 
	
	
				Has Anyone Run A Bashring On Their Bottom Bracket
Krisboats replied to EnnBee's topic in Trials Chat
The crank arm will go on to the axle by the same amount yes, but you've effectively put a spacer onto your bottom bracket which will shunt the bottom bracket and axle to the right by however thick your bashring is. You're also not running such a thick spacer between the crank and freewheel if theres no bash on the crank arm so your freewheel is moved over to the right a little bit more as well. This WILL affect your chainline compared to running a bashring on the crank arm. You probably could have stopped it undoing itself by cutting slight notches onto each side of the bashring to help it grip to the frame and BB and by putting locktight on the BB threads The only way you're really going to know if you can get away with it is to give it a go. - 
	I liked that video a lot, nice and chilled yet massive at the same time. Looking forward to the new vids, would be great to see you riding in HD

	This. Same principle as old brick built bridges and archways. The material being forced in on itself helps to reinforce the arms where as it's far easier to sheer them apart when applying the force from the opposite direction.

	That's not true at all. There's not many, but there are jobs. There are also apprenticeships. A few people i used to go to school with dropped out of school at 16 to start an apprenticeship and now they're working at £20-25,000 a year as fully qualified sparkies and plumbers. There's nothing to stop you going down that road and ultimately starting up your own company and creating more jobs for other people. These kids were wasters and stoners, if they can do it anybody can. Apprenticeships aren't limited to just basic trades either, my dad works in the leicestershire councils printing department and there are always a shortage of apprentices in the I.T. department because not many people think to check for one. BT do apprenticeships, 3M, the banks. Just think of a few job roles you'd like to do, list them down and ring the big companies in those sections and enquire about apprenticeship schemes. Your college should have a careers advisor that can help lay down what options are ahead of you as at your age, there are loads of options, believe me. The other thing i would recommend is booking an appointment with the head of the college. Explain what's going on and that you weren't liking the courses. Explain you went about it in the wrong way in just dropping out (your first post is unclear as to whether you have or haven't done this yet) and that you want to get onto a course that really excites you and inspires you. Even if he can't help there and then it'll stand you in good stead to have him/her on your side if you come back in the future or apply for a different course. If he see's you're serious about switching it'll hold a lot more weight. So yeah, see the careers advisor/head of college. Have a chat with them. Spend a day ringing around seeing what apprenticeships are on offer. Ring local firms and ask them what they would look for in a prospective employee and ask them how you can look at achieving it. Getting a foot in with people now will help out a lot later when you've gotten the grades and ring up later with "cheers for the advice, i've gone a long way with it now, just wanted to say thanks and if you've got any jobs going... cough, cough..."

	Just starting out in mine really. Built the bench the other week, so now i've just got a few more things to do/get to get it up and running properly. Shelving, tool racks and a pillar drill would be a start i guess.
 - 
	Well i'm certainly not wrong. Either it's completely wrong and it's a load of shit, or i'm the being that created everything and everyone, in essence what i say goes, so i'm still right
 - 
	It's fine, its all a load of shit.

	You can adjust your armour, which is kind of pointless and you can play in different gametypes. Aside from changing the gametype you're limited to the same weapons/upgrades as everyone else on the specific map and you'll have to pick the good guns up from wherever they spawn. You can build things in the level editor, called Forge. It's pretty easy and you can access it from the main menu above the theatre option.

	PUT YOUR CAT IN A CAGE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, FEEDING IT THROUGH THE BARS. MEANWHILE, PUT OUT SOME RAT POISON IN THE CAT FOOD NEAR THE FLAP AND WATCH HIM DIE A SLOW AGONISING DEATH AS HE WALKS AWAY FROM THE CATFLAP, CLAWING DESPERATELY TO GET BACK HOME AND FINISH HIM OFF WITH A PAVING SLAB TO REALLY SHOW HIM WHY HUMANS WIN. [/THECIRCUS] Feed your cat when it's in the house at the same time every day. It'll grow accustomed to a routine and tell you when it's hungry, if you see the other cat chase/spray/egg it depending on how your day is going.

	+1 for the workshop thread. We need to see some real man workstations, i'm fed up of looking at computer desks!
 - 
	I dont have a shed at my new house. I'll have to leave a picture of my garage instead.

	I would imagine it's either your chain not wrapping around many teeth on the rear cog, your hub has too much grease inside because it's new and the grease is helping the pawls to skip. Or the hub could not be up to the job so isn't strong enough for a trials bike. I'd be inclined to say it's the first option though. Take a picture of the rear cog on the back wheel and we'll be able to see.

	Then you turn left as you're already on the left hand side of the road. Turning right involves crossing into traffic. Ali is almost correct, in that it's because of needing the most reliable brake, but because if you turn right you're supposed to move to the centre of the road, indicate right with your arm and then turn. This puts you in the middle of the road relying on only one brake. If you were relying on the front brake and had to stop in a hurry there's a chance you could fling yourself over the bars into oncoming traffic. This makes back brake on the left a much safer idea. Obviously when driving on the right hand side of the road the opposite applies as you'll be crossing to the middle of the road to turn with your left hand off the handle bars to indicate.

	There's nothing wrong with asking in trials chat, just they're no longer allowed within the classifieds section. Stops the hassle of having to sift through a load of posts to find out how much the thing will be sold for if/when he decides to. Anyway, teleportation of topic... commencing!

	So to answer the OP, how did you do it? Grinder or machining?
 - 
	Would it not have been a better idea to ask whether the layout is still the same then, rather than using such an open question?

	I did the same thing to my parents one, only my heel just sort of fell through it one day as i was standing up. New ones are only £65 from b&q, though it may be cheaper to do it on the house insurance. It's fixable, like forteh suggested, however it's often not worth the time as if it's broken already then it's only a matter of time until it goes again as the supporting board underneath probably needs replacing as well. You need to half yank the bath apart to do that anyway so it's only a couple of water pipes and some edge sealant away from replacing the whole lot. For a temporary fix though you can pick up heavy duty waterproof tape from b&q for a couple of quid that will patch it up for a couple of weeks until you guys decide what you want to do.

	Or you could get a small form factor desktop box. The computer would be around the size of a happy meal box. I mean this one is running two graphics cards, and is pretty small. Compared to a 'normal desktop'

	Look at the chicken wings, that's mike for sure! Looks good dude, can't wait to see it.

	6 Offset pawls running on a 34tooth ratchet ought to do the job.
