  1. I downloaded Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Live Onecare today. They seem to pretty cool. I just wondered what you guys think and if you got any problems from them. I cant tell if my computer's got faster or slower yet. I got rid of Norton 06 and using CA Anti-virus as well. Your views on them four?
  2. Don't worry about it. They mostly all do it. If your wheel is centered then they should both touch at the same time.
  3. I don't like the below 14" back end frame myself. My l.a.f has currently got the axle literally hanging out the back end. I wanting another frame because of that.
  4. I thought this topic was about mod bike before i opened it. But a little help for you. There is a 'contact' button at the top right next to guidelines.

    Are we talking about quarter fufs and abubacas? If so then you deserve some serious respect. That is the way i would like to go. [edit] Eastern frame weighing in at 2lbs?? link

    That was a cool vid. Like the others said good editing. Those spots looked sweet to ride.

    Shorter bars allow you to hop higher. But when flying through hips and boxs little bars are a bit on the sketchy side. Try manual x-ups or any 'rubber wrist' tricks with larger bars then you will find another disadvantage. I ride 25" Macneil 5's uncut at the moment. But they are still to wide for the 'rubber wrist' tricks. How do you suggest i do brakeless fufs and abubacas? Rear foot on tyre and lots of practice?
  8. Did you learn a lesson by the mishap?
  9. That doesn't tend to bother me as, how much do you spend on food each time you go out? Although i don't spend 5er a day. It more like a 5er a week. Which isn't too bad. Not saying i'm better off though.
  10. Your fitness has got less slowly over time. That is why have not noticed any change. If you were to give up then you would feel a difference. If you see where i coming from. I don't wish to comment on the other stuff you said.

    I would be convinced about being brakeless 100% if i could abubaca and fufe. Those are the 2 tricks i would love to do. They are the tricks that make me put a brake on now and again.
  12. [edit] I didn't want to leave my post up here anymore.
  13. Evil seat. Bought, used once and never again (much). They are small. Only slightly bigger than a Megamo mini seat. Macneil seat and post combo. Out of your price range though? A cheap seatpost of anykind providing its the right size. Cut down and then run something like this. I do think testing your theory out would be a good idea first as well. To think of it, does seem a little odd.
  14. How long were you riding un-properly before that? Or did you mean 'probably'. Sorry i had to try and make a joke out of it.
  15. We all have to learn one way or another. Your post did make me grin though.
  16. Maybe we should have a parts review section? Or have a FAQ thats more up to date? Like the pads review section? If a mod see's this then i guess the idea will be taken up, not too much of a big deal though. Sorry to use your thread for this. Ummm how about a DX32. Strong, wide, cheap and not to much heavier.
  17. I think i was googling and i ended up here. Registered, fogot about trials again. Got back into trials, searched biketrials.com for riders. Found Dan-Ko, spoke to him on msn. Found he ran a shop. Bought a new setup from him. Then ended up here again (somehow) to find out that i was already registered. Not knowing how forums worked (and not read the rules correctly) i then got a warning (for selling in nmc) and went from there. What nice people you all are. (most of you)

    I'd proberly go with the Fit bike. The components seem to be better in most cases. Although there are some other nice complete bikes around as well. See what you think.
  19. That was a cool vid. I wasn't a fan of that first tune but the second one rules. The one of chainspotting, right. Not to sure about the orange forks but the riding made more than up for it.
  20. Have you got the link? Robbie does run a brake however.
  21. By the time the spokes did start pulling through you would have proberly no sidewall left from grinding it so much. (like the rest of you). Seriously though if you don't have problems with spokes pulling through then i would of thought you shouldn't need eyelets.
  22. I find if i sit on a wall or bench to rest that's it, i've then had it and just freeze up. But if sitting on the bike then for some reason i still feel enthusiastic.
  23. Trueing wheels is actually harder than building them.
  24. Thats the stuff. Although it's soo hard to force yourself into a routine of doing it. I know your just ripping it but some of us actually do it. The cold. No one comes out which is the worst. As long as it's dry ill go for a sesh. My feet feel numb for about an hour though. I tend to sweat and learn no matter how cold it is. But the darkness is the worst! -15 here we come.
  25. Man..! that manual of Carl's ruled ass. 10er to anyone who can find a manual better than that.
