Teenage Angst Communal Agony Aunt Thread

post it or pm me at the very least -
the M2 can't be used to run twin normal cables from the lever without modifying the cables (ie, filing the barrels down to half their original width and soldering them together) - like leedstrials said you won't get enough pull through on the cable either. your best bet for cables is to make your own mod to an existing lever (ie. run a bolt through where the barrel goes and attach a slotted cable adjuster to each side) george french had a page up on his old site with an example he'd made but a quick google didn't find it.

so, I'm allowed to have a go now? post up her myspaz address for revenge -
nail, head. erm on a mod? might as well go for the tensile like mr muel says, it's the cheapest option you might want to try preloading a bit though. what I mean is to move the pedal round slightly so the freewheel is already engaged before you pedalkick, doing that means all the power comes out as soon as you want it. if you watch people doing static ups in videos you'll often see them make a small pedal adjustment before they make the big hop - its them getting the engagement before commiting to the move.

alans and pijin are my favourites. you can get stuff from winstanleys if you phone them up and talk to the bmx bloke - I wouldn't touch their online ordering personally

Theyre just personal favourites. I ended up keeping a greek in the end -
callum buy new - khe goldie seems to be a good bet. adam - there's 2 bits to a gyro, the top and the bottom. these go round the steerer under the stem and are attached together by a bearing thingy that lets them spin freely. when you pull the cable the top bit moves up and yanks the bottom bit with it - this pulls the bottom cable up and makes the caliper work. look, i drew you a picture. the purple bits are cables, the grey bit is the top half, the red bit is the bottom half, the blue bits are bearings and the green bit is the steerer

there's nothing complicated about it ffs. keep the girlfriend, see her on weekends and f**k everything that moves during the week (especially greeks, nurses and south africans). -
bikeguide.org is sometimes useful and sometimes funny but mostly its full of people who lie about how light their bikes are, run TI bolts, plastic sprockets and strip all the padding off their seats. its worth signing up if only to take the piss out of george french first hand

wheelswap or whatever - front wheel on the thing to back wheel on the thing from static. I haven't tried since I got the freecoaster - that may have knackered it
-
I occaisonally give brakeless trials stuff a rag on the bmx - i can bounce up steps sideways and do the pigeony thing but I get tired and bored quite quickly
-
actually no, it's verging on being a bit too light (without pegs) at the moment - I'll get used to it eventually and go on another mission i should imagine.
-
amen, it's same with Macs really. They all work ok up to a point but there'll be one thing you need to do that you can't - either cos your hardware isn't supported properly yet (eg. wireless and wacom tablet on ubuntu) or there's no software to do whatever it is you want to do (hence the existence of parallels and bootcamp)
-
I still have the gorilla in case anzo shouts at me. I did texture him and tidy up the lines slightly though
-
right, buying from winstanleys.... do this - phone them up and ask the bmx man to actually go and look for a goldie - if he finds one you should be ok. at this point you can use your (mum's?) credit card over the phone. do not - order online do not - believe the stock control system. eskimoo. . . oh good, 6mm sounds sensible - they must just look thin in the pic. all you have to do now is get bored of it and give it to me
-
idiot - that middle one's obviously a rabbit
-
obviously you don't want a big gap above the top of the steerer but you need a few mm or the stem won't clamp properly, whether you get the from a spacer on top or not doesn't make any difference.
-
I was at uni so it would have been around that sort of time.
-
titanium is pissweak. however. mr eskimoo's approach to cycling is a little more refined than mine so he'll likely get away with it. the goldie looks bloody good value to me - I can't see anything I'd want to change straight out of the box for any reason other than pimping it up
-
it is nice. I'm a little frightened of those dropouts though. how thick are they??
-
you really should try it - there's nothing quite like the thrill of thinking you're going to lose a years worth of uni work you haven't backed up last time there was a publicly known serious security problem with macOS apple took over a year to even admit there was a problem - I'm not even sure they did fix it to be honest, I think they just waited for OSX .
-
nope. to join the cool crew you have to take the brake off. you can be part of the standard crew based on the bike as it stands. to join the ultra-fashionista crew you need to strip the seat down, run 30" bars and paint your bike a vile colour (see the sunday or odyssey colour range for inspiration)

\cos she's 18 - if i've got my maths right you forgot what 18 was like a couple of years ago. 18 means she can f**k rich men who previously would have considered her jailbait. Τhe only hope poor dave has now is to wow her with romantic gestures like teddy bears - his sexual peak is pretty much past so all he has left is either money or sensitivity ιμ στιλλ σρθνκ ανδ ιν γρεεψε γο ον, τρανσλατε τηατ μοτηερφθψκερ
