up to premier 6 there was no autorecover - dunno about the fancy new ones. if you've been using preview files, most of them will probably still be intact but you might have a job finding them & you probably won't be able to recover a great deal of work that way anyway. I dont want to appear patronising (I've lost big fooking chunks of work in exactly the same way & I get well pissed off when people tell me this) but this is the one rule you should live by... save and save often!! every 3 or 4 saves , save to a different project - sod the disk space, if you run out just buy more disks cos they cost nothing. When you're finished , write to at least 2 DVDs, hide one underground where the sun can't get at it and give the other one to a trusted friend or relative to look after. (well..actually I usually just make sure Ive got a copy of the really good stuff on a DVD and on my mums machine or tucked away somewhere sneaky on the work machines where its backed up to tape every night)

i like bongo & oli's idea best - it doesn't bugger the forks ta very much chaps

its not his fault - he's practically from essex

cos the rear wheel's 25" on the 231 ti - if im not mistaken

odd Pat looks bigger in real life and you look smaller in real life. I wish someone had the presence of mind to film the electric box drop gap thing you did in cambridge the other week..

something very similar happened somewhere around there (not in the sudan but nearby) with a dog fairly recently. The police couldn't do anything about it cos technically humping a dog isn't a crime. I think he married the dog.

It's traditional for onza to make a perfectly good frame and then ruin the look of it by putting nasty stickers/paintjobs/logos on it (t-rex !!) . I think they've got some sort of deal going with nitromorse ..

ill be 36/37 should have some babies by then (assuming all the tubes are working) - ill have kept the same missus (assuming she's in much the same shape she is now - aren't I shallow?) a mortgage 2 german giant rabbits (the really big buggers that weigh 6 stone) - they'll live in the house and scare burglars hopefully i'll have got round to learning to drive by then I'll still be riding - don't see why being old should stop me

my dear sister has a minor problem with her new bmx - she's got a 14mm front axle and 10mm holes in her forks is there some sort of adaptor to allow a 10mm axle in a 14mm hub she can get? ta

like JT said - half price replacement if you bust it riding trials within 2 years, 1 year manufacturers defect according to my paperwork the onza warranty is non-transferable so a frame you didn't buy as new from an onza dealer isn't covered. you'll only cross thread the BB if you f**k up putting it in. Which is your fault anyway so even if you had a warranty it wouldn't help

just to confuse matters... why not get a hog? they come in 32 hole , they're wide (47mm), i haven't dented mine yet, they have eyeletted spokeholes so they aren't shit weak - and they're only £30 from tarty. no hog shaped drillings on the 32hole versions though - you'd have to settle for round ones

They aren't too bad. I've still got my old one hidden in the spare room, i took it out the other day and it was surprisingly nice to ride. I wouldn't expect to see more than £100-£130 when i get round to selling it though - and that's with a maggie and a bunch of other upgrades.

they're just 04 (i think) pythons in a different colour - you might still be able to find one of them floating around if you phone a few shops and ask. They have short 05 pythons on tarty for 250 now - if you want the long one you might as well get yourself a zip cos they're basically the same shape

bong-fu

you don't do things by halves then? why did you pay so much for the zip ties?

The thing is that those numbers won't change much if there's 10 people or 2 people living in the house. cos the same amount of lights are on and the same amount of radiators. most of the water bill is flat rates for sewage and crap like that - even if you are metered don't forget the other little monthly expenditures - £80 - 100 or so for council tax, £10 for line rental on the landline, £10 for tv license, £15 or so for broadband and so on. It does seem a fair old pile of money for your mum to charge but if you're working fulltime and she's not payed off the mortgage yet you can kind of see where she's coming from. You can be fairly certain it aint gonna get any cheaper if you move out.

Discs tend to offer more modulation whereas hs33s tend to be more grabby. Most people prefer grabby on the rear and modulation on the front. An hs33 with the right setup can give you lovely modulation so theres no reason to feel you have to go disc on the front. I think rear discs put a lot of extra stress on the frame compared to rim brakes - this'd be more of a problem in trials than in downhill etc cos the wheel stays locked and under pressure rather than locked and skidding. There do seem to be a fair number of trials specific disc frames out now though so presumably they're getting around the snappysnappy problem (putting the brake mount on the dropout a-la V-racing XTP seems a sound plan)

one word.. woo! love the music too.

that's cos you're better than me at riding bikes, theres no need to rub it in

i agree - when you think about it you're not going to be able to easily tap anything higher than about 3 - 3 1/2 foot cos the bike isn't big enough to hit it high enough - unless you're clever and can do it mid bunnyhop, which is a ) hard and b ) dangerous you get the advantage on a stock cos they're bigger and you can hit higher things with them. they're also harder to hop on account of the size (... stupid big wheels ) . all that said- it is bloody good fun bashing into stuff

er - that would only work if you had a 24 tooth cog on the front its this sum ( teeth on front / teeth on back ) X engagements to reiterate... get an eno if you have less than 200quid to spend - otherwise get a profile (if you must) The EPs are the same at the pedals unless you run a stupid gearing. I couldn't justify spending 400quid on a rear hub and I'm bloody rich so unless daddy's paying or you can find an excellent deal forget the king

there's logic ^^ anyway - can't be arsed to read it all now. anyone who agrees with the following is right. everyone else is a dong. if plane moves in relation to the air, plane takes off if plane doesn't move in relation to the air, plane wont take off the plane has to move through the air or the magic wing shape won't make it fly (i have a simplistic view of aeroynamics) if its a magic conveyor belt that causes the plane to remain stationary (in relation to the air) the plane wont take off. if its a normal conveyor belt then the plane can move (in relation to the air) under thrust from the engines and thus take off. what kind of conveyor belt is it?

bios revision would be the version of the bios - not relevant if all you need is a new chipset fan. I think you need to write 'chipset fan for <whatever> chipset' or a part number . To be safe I'd phone them up and ask cos if you get it wrong theyll send you the wrong thing. motherboard version is probably just the full name of the mobo - in my case GA-k8nxp-sli , yours will be different . you aren't buying a BIOS chip so you can ignore it the last bit would be the amount of money you're sending them- £0 would be my guess, unless you broke it yourself

mine let me think... it's an 05 zoo forks (mmm, look better than the echo ones ) zoo bars (mmm, silver) t-master stem (mmm, onza) eno (mmm, green) echo booster (mmm,cheap) v8s (mmm, grey) - everything else is standard t-mag or t-pro bits
