Maggies are superior to vees, face it. If you bleed/set up a magura well, it will work much better than a vee. Even down to the way the power is transferred, less energy is wasted through fluid than through cables. You have felt my Magura, now thats sexual

If you click on the header now, you will return to the homepage. I have just made a few changes to most bits of the site So have a look Adam

The reason the intro paragraph was an image was because i was going to use fancy text. It has been changed now to normal text. I have also changed the background so it is 1 pixel wide, but i have left the header images as jpeg. I like the archive page how it is, the idea of the design was to try and make people read a bit about the ride then look at the images, not just go straight to them. Thanks for all the replies Adam

Hey all, Thought i would share the new look Street Furniture Trials site. It has taken hours to get right, so constructive criticism would be good. We have cut the site down to make it more simple, and easy to keep up-to-date. The crew page isn't finished yet, we are still waiting for pictures. There are 2 new vids on there aswell, both filmed in Kent, so get downloading Don't forget to keep checking the site for updates on recent rides StreetFurnitureTrials.com Thanks to Joe N. for the photos Adam

Internet says: The plane is driven by the thrust of the engines acting on the air not the ground. It *will* accelerate forward as a result, and acquire speed relative to the air and therefore take off. This comment is wrong. It completely ignores the friction of the wheels on the ground. There are two kinds of friction that are generated by wheels. The first is the friction from the ball bearings. This type of friction is small and irrelevant to the question. The second is the friction of the wheels on the ground, or in this case, the conveyor belt. This friction needs to be great enough to make the wheels grip the road under a variety of conditions. This friction is not so great (nor insignificant) when the wheels roll, but it is dramatically greater when the wheels skid. Once the airplane’s wheels start to roll, the conveyor belt will match their speed, effectively keeping the plane in place. The rotational speed of the wheels and the speed of the conveyor belt will both increase together until the maximum rotational speed of the wheels is reached. As long as the wheels roll without skidding, the plane will go exactly nowhere. For clarity, let’s assume the maximum rotational speed of the wheels is 300mph. Once that speed is reached, if the airplane’s engine still has additional power, the wheels will start to slip. The wheel’s rotational speed, and therefore the conveyor belt’s speed, will both max out at 300mph. Let’s assume the plane needs to achieve airspeed of 100mph to take off. The engine, then, would have to have enough power to make the plane skid on its wheels down the runway at 100mph. How much power is that? If the plane were not on a treadmill, it is equivalent to locking the wheels so they cannot rotate, and accelerating the plane on skidding wheels to 100mph. That would take a LOT of power. And also quickly shred the tires. Internet is always right Adam

Make a cardboard design of the tensioner, then get a sheet of aluminium from your local engineering company. Draw around your cardboard template on the aluminium, then get to work with a hacksaw and file Adam

I have made my own it works a treat. It works better than the ones i have bought Have a look: Adam

It's not looking to bad now Rupert I do pay for a .com Chinchilla Adam

sounds good, there are plenty of rocks around

The usuals will be around, who organises rides these days

Thats pretty funny, its time for the

Sorted now thanks

I have got quite a few good pictures on my site Adam

Yeah, by the sounds of it, it will be well worth the wait

Sweet vid, liking the style

Very good video, made everything look so easy. Even liked the music, who's it by?

About 3 hours (1.5-hour fast charge to 80% capacity)

The link isn't working?

I am about 5 foot 7 ish and ride a Koxx levelboss 1040mm and i love it

Get an '06 Pitbull matt, have you ever tried one?

Nobody?

Just changed it all, any opinions of the new look? Adam

What goes around comes around

I suppose i believe in Karma, i'm with Rowly, thats how i thinlk aswell. I think its more just doing good things actually does make you feel better
