  1. It gets the episodes earlier than any others i've seen Tis always the first place i get mine from now.
  2. This site has some interesting ermm... layouts and stuff.... might be worth a look click me
  3. Seems like i'm riding both days then Maybe shepshed rocks saturday? Then leicester sunday?
  4. Get a ti axle from some crazy company i found on the internet a while back. I cant remember off-hand where it is exactly but it only took me about 10 minutes to google it. They had allsorts of different lengths and sizes so have a look for that.
  5. I ride with glasses, and sorry Ali but i've never managed that and have never even thought about it, seems very unlikely. Mine used to fall off a bit but if you bend the arms at the back so they curve round your ear more they stay firmly where their meant to. I still find them aweful for riding in though because i have to tilt my head down to see where my rear wheel is at where as other people can quickly glance that way. I'm going with the contacts soon
  6. They stick you in with the slower connection if you download heavily over a long period of time. I think if you cut back on the downloads during peak times they start over with an initial warning again. However, i dont think they will put you back in with light users again... at least my mate still hasn't. Its only slower during peak times though, the rest of the time its just as it normally is. Still the best value broadband around.
  7. He's right, everybody should go with tiscali, especially now their 1mb is £12.99 and their 2mb is £14.99. If you want the 8mb its still only £17.99 so with unlimited downloads and only a fair usage during peak times its by far the best deal out there for your average user. Which is slow, my friends brother kept downloading stuff despite the warnings and it runs about the same speed as a 56k modem, which makes his games super duper laggy and slow... almost unplayable in fact. I've had one warning from them, but then when you want to download huge 4gb+ files i just don't switch the download off during these hours, i leave it going 24/7 till its done.
  8. Look at the pictures... if he ran them upside down the slaves would be pointed at the spokes. He didn't say they dont work for V-brakes, you put 2 and 2 together and came out with around 300, he said they dont work with this frame/rim combination. You sure you didnt run them upside down on a BMX with U Brake mounts? Can't you just use a bmx wheel and force the tyre onto that 20" rim? I'm sure you could find a local bmx that someone'd sell for like a tenner, or a budget BMX wheel off ebay. If not rewelding the current mounts further down should work. I'm guessing you've gotta file off the current V-brake mounts to get the whole drilled for the 4 bolt mounts, might be less work to get the current ones re-welded. Just a thought
  9. To be fair that phone box face plant isnt that bad, as far as i can make out from the video his hands hit the box just before his head so less force will be administered to the phonebox by his head. If you want to see a real bad faceplant watch island style

    But surely it would be more of a swinging motion then as opposed to a waving rippling flag?... I don't even know why i'm being so fussy, i dont really care :$

    Why would it wave? what would stop it moving in one direction and make it move in the other?

    Thats the most stupid thing ever, based on the second rule they wouldn't need a wire to hold it up surely, i mean once the astronaught puts the pole in the ground then arranges the flag to the right position then there'd be no wind to blow it around so it wouldn't move, unless you take into account the moons low gravity would eventually pull on the flag material and pull it down. Flapping indefinately? Jesus christ, based on the fact theres no wind what would make it flap? It would move in one direction and there'd be no wind to move it back so it wouldn't flap, it would slowly wrap itself around the flagpole.
  13. And now you know what most 12-15 year old riders do nearly every night and at weekends
  14. If your really worried about it get some gt85 on it, that "should" get the crap off assuming your lacquers not just gone funny. If your lacquer has gone a bit funny then the only thing to get rid of it really is to strip the existing lacquer off with nitromors and then re-lacquer it as previously suggested. Try some metal polish maybe? It hardly looks like theres anything wrong with it in the picture.... not something i'd be worried about myself.
  15. I think theres only one thing to say about that ronnie rim Mr Gibson, Pump your tyre up and stop being so unsmooth. My ronnie has truthfully had about 30 grinds. I used to do quite light grinds with my old plazzies then got a bit more savage with it after a little while. It got ground at the slightest hint of the grinds sharpness wearing off, which was usually about every 5 to 7 days, more or less depending on how much i rode it. Had the rim around 8 months and it was still running up until a week ago. Your rim is in perfect condition compared to my old one, i'll get some pictures if i have to in a bit.
  16. http://www.biketrialstation.com/index.html Theres actually some pretty decent parts on there, like echo boosters rebadged as "nox" and anodised every colour under the moon. The viper frame looks quite nice too.
  17. A DH one yeah, but then thy run dual discs
  18. Anyone notice the subtle propaganda on the news? The fact that they showed a missile being launched instead of sticking with the truth that korea set off the nuclear device in an abadoned mine to minimise the effect of the blast. Kinda done to make people think korea has actually done something wrong by firing missiles around
  19. T-rex's are built like tanks It rides nicely and is a rip off of the very good coustellier design, has a thick as shit downtube and WILL be much more suited to UCI style riding than you giant is. However the deciding factor would be what kind of spec is your giant currently at? I pretty much guarantee that once you get used to the t-rex you wont be riding the giant as much so maybe it'd be a better idea to just buy a frame and put the components from the giant onto your new frame.
  20. Say it was on a bmx? Take the rim off when you send it too as i'm guessing you've got drilled rims, and we're the only retards who have them.
  21. You're not ill!! Just ride it off like a real man. I'll tell you when your ill. It is not now. Are you old enough to play on playstation yet?
  22. Just change the tyre on the rear, i managed to pinch flat mine and the rim cut through the sidewall of the tyre. If you can get something like a maxxis or a michelin then it'll be alright, maybe invest in some better pads as well, as i'd imagine it'll come with magura blacks or maybe kool stops. Other than that it looks fine, nice to see theres companies elsewhere that are helping our sport.
