Can't use gloves in the summer mate :ermm: Far too hot :D As good as Troy's are :P

Next month I shall be purchasing a polished mission reefer. My old frame is a 'cuda Subway. My forks fit perfectly in the steerer tube at the moment. Will they still fit?? Also, is there anything abnormal about the reefer? I've seen thread on here like "I can't use parts x y & z with frame x y & z" So, any help? Cheers in advance

Read the topic dammit. I COULD ride with it, but why? Why inflict pain on yourself??? It's easy enough to solve, so why deliberately mangle your finger? Thanks for the replies guys, well the helpful ones anyway. Mike

I'll try and adjust my brake tonight then and see if that helps at all... it's pretty sharp though already... I might try some tar too. And i'm not a "big wimp" I just don't see the point in bringing pain to myself when it can be avoided. sure I could hack the pain, but why bother if you don't need to? By the way, the old Maggy levers were great, the newer rounded ones are shite (Thats what i'm using) Not the 2005 ones, the next older model.. the old old model were so much more comfy. Cheers for the ideas everyone :ermm:

My brake is setup perfectly mate... Yeah i'll try halfords matey, i'll let you know :lol: I do run my hands onder the tap, so soothing... I'd rather not have to though... My grips do it too, but it's not so painful on the palm of my hand... my finger really hurts... Thanks for the suggestions...

Right, I use one finger on my front magura HS33, and after about an hour my finger blisters in the joint. I've tried plumbing tape (The bright red thin stuff) that worked for roughly 4 hours, but i'm just wondering what "everyday" stuff I might have laying around that could work? Don't say gloves, i'mnot riding in the summer with gloves on. Cheers :lol:

Religion annoys me. Why people beleive it I don't know, I don't beleive Willy Wonka really has a chocolate factory as impressive as it is in the film, so why beleive a random long haired guy did miracles??? It's just a story. But yeah RIP.

I can almost guarantee you won't do what you first think of. At school I thought i'd be a big computer guy, now i'm an office slave doing computers on the side. I'm not complaining, but things don't go as planned! Just don't aim TOO high, it hurts more the further you fall. If you aim for something fairly easy and over acheive the feeling is better than aiming for your dream and totally failing. Words of wisdom from the forum weirdo.....

My worst offence: 19 going with a 16 year old... Only when youre young is it so bad though, for example, my dad is ten years older than my mum. Still doesnt excuse 20 year olds that go with 13/14/15 year olds... that's seriously wrong. They are just children, and even at 16 are usually still immature.

Yeah.. I was hoping there'd be a simpler way but not to worry (Y) Thanks for the advice

LOL You do look a bit Bean like... :unsure: Funny shit!

Yeah lol... Drive about 20 miles through countryside and see how many are mashed into the road markings... one tasty breakfast wont hurt :unsure: LOL Don't get arsey and say i'm sick or anything, it's only a joke (I know what the sensitive people on here are like!)

I have to be extremely careful, as I work off the server. Our server is my PC, so if I mess anything up, BANG! the networks down, company stops work and I don't get paid. :unsure:

That's the problem mate, I'm at work. I have Nero at home :unsure: Only the bog standard CD writing wizard here (Y)

As the title says, I have downloaded the 700mb ISO file and the smaller files that make up the CD, but using the Windows CD ceating wizard on XP, how do I make this the bootable CD? I usually use Nero, not this rubbish!

No, no, noooo... I wanted downloads, not spyware and adware (Y) Mate, download.com's stuff is riddled with unwanted junk The aim of this thread was to bring unknown stuff or hard to find things to peoples attention. Anyone can go to google and type free game download. I was after things people have found and thought were cool... Or things that are difficult to find normally

Last December I got a laptop of the following spec from eBay for £550: Pentium4 2.6Ghz ATI Radeon 9000 512 MB RAM 40GB Hard Drive 15" TFT Screen + Loads of useless software free that is gathering dust in my drawers like: "Super Calendar Designer Professional Extra Mega Design Pro Version 2 Mark 6 Home Designer Edition build 9 Beta 4 2005 XP" Ok, so it's not actually called that, but thats the kind of crap they give you.

I was thinking more along the lines of videos and music and games from sites that aren't so difficult to download. You may say torrents are easy to do, but at work they aren't and I wouldn't be allowed to setup a P2P program here. So... anymore?

It's not a scam is it, look at it. The site and story is a joke and it's just a shop for selling his branded goods. I doubt anyone is supposed to believe the bunny is going to die...

Ok, it's time to create a mass archive of downloads. Basically, I'm after anything fun to kill some time. I'm after videos, games or anything you think is cool and want to share with the world... So, anything you think is worthy of being in this thread, post the link to it's download location... (No trials video's or web based flash animations though please)

It's the age old arguement. Personally I find consoles shite. You can't easily play MP3's, create music, mix music, go on the internet, modify games (No I don't mean those cards that mess the games up, I mean Modifiying Vice city and stuff, adding extra roads and realistic cars...) You can't word process, spreadsheet, web design or anything. The list goes on... It's literally just games with consoles really, and those games get boring if you don't mod them. It's all down to choice though, but personally I'd rather buy a sleek looking lappy than a big black cube with an X on it!

Although I'm a biker boy, if I were to get a car, it would not be less than 1.4. Any less than that and they are so draggy and slow... I speak through experience: G/f: 1.1 Pug 106 Mate 1: Ren. 5 1.1 Mate 2: Rover 100 1.2 All those are bad at pull aways... One of my other friends had a 1.4 corsa (The nice old ones... not the Corsa C) And that was fast... he traded it for a 1.3 turbo starlet GT.. >_< immense car!

Infinity 6 x 9 speakers are great, whack that in google and see what bargains you can find... My friend has them, they handle bass very well and he got his for £75. They mount on your parcel shelf. (Holes may need to be cut with a jig saw... it's piss easy though)

Last night scares me: I was going down a large hill in Hastings (Not a rare sight, the place is the hilliest ever!) Anyway, bombing down this hill, approaching a junction. I must admit I tend to ride "Boy racer" style and brake late and hard. Well I did this, my rear V Brake (Brand New Avid!!) decides to explode (Well, come apart, obviously not actually explode)... So I have just my front HS33, and about 10 yards to stop before I hit this main road. I flew out into the main road and luckily there were no cars.... My heart was thumping for the next hour. lol... Lesson learnt: Don't brake hard and fast at the last minute. It's not big OR clever.
