  1. has Tim snapped pashley forks? I remember him riding full pelt into that wall and bending the frame at hook woods....
  2. PaRtZ

    Chat Up Lines

    the only one I can remember that worked was... 'You cant sit there, my invisible friend is sitting there' Yes, I pulled her.... lol...My favourite is: nice legs, what time do they open?
  3. HAHA you utter chav muel! I knew it!
  4. although you need to get the piston out, poking it with a spoke is tempting but could cause damage!! utilise a track pump if you can, just be ready to catch it!
  5. monty x-lite boys. Thats what you want.
  6. with 2 male escorts in each arm pffft youd be remembered. Alternatively a tractor

    Legit Shops?

    MAN UP and wait max just buy other bits first ...
  8. word Plus if shes scared of him for aggressive behaviour, you demonstrating the same behaviour probably makes her feel no better. If youd stab him with a brick (lol?), then thats totally cool, just dont tell her!! on a side note, the f*ck buddy and I are getting close which is fine... But another girl wants to come visit me on IOW for another beasting.... Technically Im single so im good, but still... GAY... This could be the threesome I was promised though by my f*ck buddy (who's bi)... Worth a go at asking?
  9. hahahaha I think sam would let us know if he changed bike. And im pretty sure hes allowed to ride a different bike if he wants to?
  10. really wants Max to ride again :(

  11. This is what I thought. I know its more money, but surely two identical 512mb sapphire gfx cards would be better? I wanted 2 for mine, but my powercolour (4850 I think?) is too big and hangs over the second slot on my motherboard. I also dont have enough pci-e power cables for it. Or money
  12. RIP Gavin We were talking about Gavin literally the other day and his 205. Such a shock that its happened so quickly
  13. nice song man. Liked the first move too You got the water gap footage from woodfest btw?
  14. no do it anyway I think its possible to be honest, the problem is speed as I dont think youd want to be pedalling up it on a bmx. Also the easier side is uphill already which has another log in the way which you'd have to bunnyhop over first...
  15. Thats a great shot. But Id also like to point out I also made it once... Any idea who the other photographers were Matt or links? This event is going to be momumental!
  16. I hope you guys like heights and balance beams.... Thats all Im going to say The course layout for tarty days is going to be IMMENSE. You could easily spend a week riding it and keep finding/making new lines. Ive just got back from day two of woodfest and ive had so much fun! The water balance 'beam' (if its still included) is going to be a favourite I think too... I really dont want to spoil it though! If i was not busy, Id easily be there. Or make the trip to the other side of the country for this. The play area is MASSIVE

    Brakes.

    also big discs have a larger moment of inertia which require a greater stopping force in itself In general bigger discs have better braking power as the increase in moment of inertia is much lower than that of the mechanical advantage gained. Smaller discs are usually fitted as standard to cars as they're cheaper, lighter and relatively simple **Question answered with effort below ** The term to answer your question though is Braking Torque Braking Torque = Rotating Force x distance of pads away from centre More technically: The radius of the pads away from the centre is pretty self explanatory. You can have a massive disc brake, but if the pads are close to the centre, you dont gain anything (and waste alot of money) Obviously disc brake manufacturers dont do this, so dont worry Force is slightly more complicated. As you can see from the diagram, the force acts perpendicular to the direction of rotation, but as you know the pistons act on the surface (or normal to the surface) with the equation Normal Force = Applied Pressure x Area of pads If you resolve forces on the disc, introducing the coefficient of friction μ, the frictional force (assuming perfectly normal to the surface, not toed in/out) is Rotating/stopping Force = Normal force x μ So the total torque that your brakes use IS: Braking torque = Applied pressure x Area of pads x μ x distance of pads away from centre So as you can see, just the pressure you apply on the brake pedal is not the only thing that changes the performance of the brakes. Pad material changes the coeffecient of friction μ, disc size as discussed alters the distance, and the pad size increases frictional area Hope this helps
  18. Great work johnny! Really easy to watch. Jacks looking super smooth on that. Looking forward to future productions...
  19. good because you should never buy tar anyway
  20. which seems to be what Ive got The pains died down quite alot, maybe my massive headache is overshadowing that but looks like its not appendicitis Sure as hell would like to know what it was though :/ Thanks for the responses, Ill still keep my eye on it...
  21. I asked a question if anyones had it, people have said no yes and suggested what theyd do. included in what theyd do is the doctors. I definitly hate going to the doctors as they just seem to waste my time in every other case Ive been Thanks for the replies though, I will go to the doctors after my exams, but ill go sooner if it gets dramatically worse.... I atleast want to attend tomorrows
  22. its literally thursday afternoon I want to leave it till, and if I just miss this thursday morning exam its pretty much a massive chunk of easy marks for my degree gone I dont think so, unless I pulled it in my sleep? its got a very similar feeling to a pulled muscle though to be honest
  23. its all the time, but I only feel it when I stretch in certain directions
