    Xbmc...

    Is there anything like this for the 360? I hate doing it through the one on the 360, it's so slow and crap. I tried to watch a film off my pc through my Xbox360, so I could watch it on the bigger screen, but it kept buffering every 10seconds, and the dubbing went out! At the moment i've been putting the films onto my cameras 4GB CF card, and plugging it into the 360 with my USB memory card reader, then playing it off that...
  2. I highly doubt you'd be able to buy bermuda for £6mil...
  3. No it wouldn't, Magura internals are plastic, which is why they work so well with water bleeds, as they don't really need lubricating that much...
  4. I don't know the exact freezing point (if any?) but UK winter weather won't freeze it.
  5. It's not that at all. Have a look at the thread on the new Pashley frame, I think the mount being there has something to do with brake performance on hooks or something? Trials motorbikes are the same too.
  6. The difference is 4 spokes. They don't really look much different at all! 36h are stronger in theory, but you have a wider choice in rims in 32h.
  7. Looks pretty good! As said, resize your images! Instead of sizing them in the code, get yourself an image resizer and then re-upload them. I got one called 'VSO Image Resizer' which is good. Just right click - resize with VSO... - then choose which sizr you want and you're done. That'd make the whole site load a lot faster!
  8. Top cap bolts are M6 thread. Why don't you just use some normal chain tugs? Look tidy if you cut them down a bit, keep the chain tight, wheel aligned, don't move...
  9. Then when you change the chain, you chould change all the cogs too, as they all wear together. Getting a new chain on old cogs will just wear it out quicker than normal, as it's trying to bed itself into old worn cogs. Saying that, my chain is made up of 3 KMC Kools, Profile cog came with the hub 2nd hand 2 years ago? And the front cog is 2years old too..
  10. Is that good or bad? I was thinking of going euro, but I couldn't really be bothered... rat look also crossed my mind..just for the hell of it.

    Nye 08!

    I'm off to the pub in town, they're having a toga party. - Hopefully that means hot girls in togas everywhere! Then when that get's too busy or if fights break out etc, we'll just jolly off to the next pub!
  12. I made it really low, blue, and smooth.
  13. Ah I hate that! I have to literally have my head at the wall so my feet are just on! I've already spent my 6mil on the Mini, can you buy me one too?
  14. Halfords won't sell those axles, as it's a sealed hub. - They only sell axles for 'normal' bikes with crappy unsealed hubs. Off the shelf anyway! Your best bet is to ring around the usual trials shops, Tartybikes and ask them if they can get hold of one for you. Or if you know anyone that's good with a lathe, they could make you one!
  15. It's because of the Magura black pads, not lazy pistons! Those pads are truely terrible! Have a look on Tartybikes or somewhere and see what they recommend for smooth rims (if you want to keep it smooth) I can't remember what's good on smooth now! If you want to get a grind, I'd personally recommend Koxx Blox browns. They're amazing on my brake!
  16. You can buy M10 bolts without the thread all the way up them. Take it to a local bolt place in an industrial estate, with the hub too, and tell them that you need it for that, but not threaded all the way. They're bound to have some!
  17. I'd spend as much as I can on the Mini and see what I end up with.
  18. Get out. Thread doesn't open until 2am! That's an idea, could we get some special time-lock on this thread?
  19. When it feels like it, my PC decides to just keep restarting itself instead of actually booting up. I turn it on, it fired up, fan kicks in, then goes off as normal, just as the manufacturer screen goes it starts over again! I unplug it, try again. Fires up, fan kicks in, won't switch off. Unplug it, try again, then it's fine! Does it say, once a week? But I have no idea why! Took the case apart and gave it a good clean inside, all dust free etc, but it still does it. Any ideas?
  20. HS33 internals are plastic, which does not corrode. I've used water in all my Maguras, which have all been fine. Just give them a good service every few months or so if you're worried. I think bleeding some oil through it every now and again should lube up the pistons just fine. Saying that, I never have! And they've been fine. Only reason I've had so many is because of me changing brakes, or breaking levers, etc.
  21. They're testing the paint for lead on kids bikes, 24" wheel sizes and below, to stop kids from getting lead poisoning incase they decide to try and eat their bike.
  22. Ah good. I'd keep the allen key/whatever tool for it with you when you're riding though, because if you ride around with the crank loose you'll ruin the taper in the cranks! And you reaaally don't want to be doing that!
  23. ISIS or square taper? If it's square taper, you've probably rounded the crank slightly, so it doesn't grip the BB axle properly. Either bodge it with some small cut up coke can pieces, or get some new cranks! If it's ISIS, just try cleaning/de-greasing the axle, and the crank. Clean the threads too, and then put some loctite on the bolt, and get it torqued up to the appropriate setting. - Can't remember it exactly, ask your local bike shop if they're good.
