Yeah, well you didn't lie so il let you off!

I have the TNN LGMs and within the first few weeks of having them i took them on and off 3 times (to make sure they really were as bad as i remembered) The most recent time i put them on however, i left them on and slowly but surely they have got better. Im using them now and they are awesome. No idea why it took so long for them to get good, but im happy with them now. On a side note; This is a bit cheeky isnt it? Although the pressure is increased, the decrease in friction (from a smaller pad surface) is exactly offset by the increase in pressure, which means it wouldnt actually make the brake anymore powerful. http://www.physlink.com/education/askexperts/ae140.cfm

To be precise, i get a constant 300fps, and that appears to be Portals fps limit (as Fraps has a maximum fps readout of 9999fps) so theres potential to go even further than 300 if Portal allowed it. With portal render depth on 9, it stays at a constant 60fps, which seems to be a new fps for that portal render depth setting. I was only trying to say you can't get the same framerates with an 8800GT, as you said on the last page. Thats all.

Booyah! 24 hours of Portaling and ive completed all the advanced missions and challange missions, along with the 15 acheivments. Completed Portal:Prelude too but the challange missions on there are reaaally hard.

I didnt quote my framerates? With dual 9800m GT's the framerate drops down to 10-15 with everything on high @1920x1200 if you look down 2 portals opposite each other (Portal render depth on 9) Finished Portal:Prelude last night too. Much more challanging than the original game and well worth a go if you completed the original Portal in a couple of hours with no major trouble.

Yes. You have to make a portal on the floor level and then one up high and jump through it, grabbing it while you fall. Its a bit tricky and it took me a couple of tries the first time, but you are doing it right. How far are you guys through the bonus maps? Ive done all the advanced maps and im 52% through the challange maps. Make that 70% 80% (Finding it really hard to progress any further now) 100%

Full graphics for me too. 1920x1080 with AA at full and all the settings. Overclocked GTX295 though I found the game quite easy, including the 6 advanced maps. The Challange maps however, are quite hard. Particularly the "least steps" challanges. I just cant do them to save my life. Check this out. Stage 14 in 3 seconds! Ive managed to replicate the move, but the best i could do was 6 seconds. Damn this guys good.

+1 for Vertical. As someone posted in the video a few posts up, push up chain tensioners actually give more chain wrap than a horizontal dropout setup. I prefer Vertical dropouts, but there definitely needs to be more vertical dropout tensioners available that dont rely on a mech hanger.

QFT

Bit of a bump, but add to the list of things i want but find they are discontinued when i go to buy; 26" Echo SL front rim in red. It feels like everytime i want to buy something, it gets discontinued. I cant believe it.

http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_display.asp 20% It looks great for me, but im using 1920x1080 and 1920x1200 on my laptop. 1920x1080 should be the minimum compulsory for the internets.

Red Remover! http://www.gamefudge.com/Red-Remover I have completed all 45 levels on par, and in bonus mode. (You must complete all the levels to unlock bonus mode)

These are the best grips ever. I have used themNot just the raffle ones, sometimes the echo equivalent) for years and i wouldnt use anything else.

Thanks.

Found these earlier today; Magura Clara/Louise disc pads (2 different types) £4 a pair http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=38296 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=38286

Any clarification? 55 or 50?

Don't suppose anyone happens to know the BB Rise of the Adamant A2 frame? For some reason +55 comes to mind, but im not 100%.

I want some red TR bars. I will keep my eye on Tartys. I presume there will be a homepage/news update when the new stuff starts to come through?

This.

All the kids dig the bright, contrasting colors nowadays. Just take a look at the GT BMXs, Mongoose too, although they havnt gone to the extremes that GT have... Yes, these are 2010 models lol! Believe it or not in the run up to Christmas, every single model of GT and Mongoose sold out in November/December (some of them even sold out before November) Even these bright colored ones. Its madness, i think they look terrible, but thats just whats popular atm and it seems to be selling.

Street/skatepark. I really dont like rocks.

How anyone can say that is beyond me. Ive used Tiogas, Kendas, Michelin, Echo, Continental (Rubber Queens that im using atm) and Maxxis. I could easily use any of these tyres and ride just as normal, and im definitely not a beginner, nor am i an elite rider. *edit* I dont consider myself to be smooth, and i havnt had a single puncture in the 6 months that i had had them so far.
