That's 'cos Dave's got FADD. Frame Attention Deficit Disorder. Symptoms include constantly buying new shit (Y)

Animation of how the silent clutch system works (sorta) here: http://www.rbdesign.sk/en/en_index.htm -> Technique -> Rollin' Roll -> Animation Gives you an idea of how sketchy the RB hubs were/are, and why they explode frequently... Anyway, give the silent clutch a go, I guess. It's only £20/your face at the end of the day (Y)

Unless you wear earrings and your Dad's a pirate.

The word that came to mind was "Shane". Mathuds0 will understand.

2 Pitbulls DID break at the brake mounts, but it was just a defect. The same happened with a Python.

It's a tiny bit wider than the thicker Kool, but stronger and I believe it may be lighter? Not 100% about that though... Anyhoo, f**kin' awesome chains, I'd really recommend them, but it'll possibly rub on your bash a *tiny* bit.

Depends when it is (Y) Trains take 4 hrs to get to Aber from here (45 miles aka just under an hour by road, yet 4x that length by train :blink:), so if it's half-term I can get a lift down there, butotherwise it's a right mission. I'll still be there and show you round Ben :blink:

Yeah, what is this country coming to... chavs can't even afford guns these days...

Hey Peter, Yeah, it's fairly common for Profiles to skip when they're new. All the parts have got to bed in and stuff like that, so it takes a few rides to get it's shit together, really. A new chain like the Collapse might sort you out. If you're running an old chain, it will have stretched and therefore a new one might fit a little better ('cos the wheel will be in a different place in the drop-outs). I wouldn't really recommend the Shadow chain. They seem to stretch pretty quickly, so they're just not really worth the fairly high price tag. Try filing the Gusset tugs down before wasting money on snail cams you might not need (Y)

Is it an FSA BB by any chance? Either way, if it's a 73mm wide BB body, and a 68mm wide shell, you just need a 2.5mm spacer on the right hand side, pretty much. Then just do the left-side up. It's OK to have some threads showing on the left, outside of the BB shell <_<

I'll be there on the 25th September <_< Shall we do it then? Less chance of work clashes, etc.? Unless you lot are coming by train :unsure: Either way, I can only make it then so I can meet you then, Ben? Den? Hen? Ben - when you go there, go into Summit Cycles, drool over all the cool stuff, then ask if Martin Walker's still working there. If he is, he usually rides after work, and he'd probably help show you around. Plus he's a f**king nice guy, and an amazing rider.

So, with that post, you have, in essence, proved Alexx's post right?

Well, the link you posted took you to the "Upload your video" page of Eengo, so I put the direct link up. However, I have reached my daily download limit with Eengo today, so I can't get it through there either.

http://www.eengoedidee.nl/parsefiles/?type..._night_ride.wmv :unsure: And my upload limit's dead so I can't get it anyway <_<

D'you mean that you need to make it so it's a 73mm BB that fits a 68mm shell, or d'you mean the cranks clip the stays? If it's the latter, you're f**ked and need a new BB basically.

If it was the clutch being locked as though the pedal was down, wouldn't that mean that the clutch pedal would be 'flappy' almost because there'd be no resistance? It should be under warranty though surely? Or is it not brand new?
-
To be honest, my Dad's car looked just as clean using a hose and some random cleaning fluid (can't remember the name, he bought it for his VFR but used it on his pickup and his estate), yet probably cost him loads less to do <_<\ Fair enough though if it's what you like doing.

Free healthcare's a f**king load better than having to pay for it though. Our philosophy teacher was born in Trinidad, and then lived in America for most of his life, and he was telling us about the more 'slum'like areas he lived in, and how one kid got a pretty bad cut, but he couldn't afford to have it stitched or cleaned up with any antibacterial agent or anything. It got infected, and they couldn't afford the antibiotics to treat it, and then it turned into septacemia (or whatever the f**k that blood poisoning thing is), and then they were totally f**ked. I'd rather have to wait for a few hours in a queue of people to get treated than get totally raped for paying for operations, etc. Oh, one last thing - I know it's hard for you all to do, but there ARE other countries in the UK apart from England, yeah? So it's not just "England this" "England that".

Yeah, no joke. That's a huge problem in this country. It sucks that people blame the police though, when it's not even their fault. We got told to log every incident from this one group of townie dickheads round here, so we did, and handed it in to the police. It got brought up in the court case for one of the boys involved in it, and the judge couldn't do anything about it because in an interview with a social worker, the boy had cried about how his parents had divorced when he was much younger and he didn't know what was right and wrong and shit like that. The whole judicial system seems to side with the people who are in the wrong <_<

News to me? In that people who have sought asylum here and gained it have been allowed to work here? Such as the influx of nurses they had in the NHS that was reported in the news a while back?
-
Er, they wouldn't, because they wouldn't be in the country/claiming benefits or whatever, 'cos it'd show up and they'd be deported? Hence the "illegal" thing? If they're "illegal" they're not going to draw attention to themselves, are they? The clerics can be deported now, so that's going to change. That is pretty f**king ridiculous though. That Horizon-type program showing those Muslim guys outside their mosque in London saying it was great that the buses had been bombed and they were really happy because this country's "full of pigs" pissed me right off. About the paras - if they were attacked by a younger person/group of them, and they fought back, they'd be right in the shit because they 'should no better' and might even be court-martialled. Even my brother got told off by the police for fighting back when a group of people attacked him, and he was 18 at the time and they were 15. It's worrying for them probably just because they can't fight back, so they're effectively as powerless as anyone else.

That does seem to be the main problem. People seem to just call all asylum seekers/immigrants "Illegal Immigrants", and assume they're all as bad as each other. Ignorance is bliss though I suppose, so maybe we should envy all the people who think like that <_<

There are a bunch of immigrants from Poland around here who are the main problem. They come round trying to sell 'artwork' they've painted, but are trying to scope places out. They went to this one woman's house near here who lives more on the outskirts in a house on here own, and the Polish people drove up to the end of her drive (about 200m from here house), and the one woman got out and walked up to the door, knocked, said about how she was trying to sell her paintings (they get you to read this little card, 'cos apparently their english isn't that great), and the woman said no, and tried shutting the door, but the Polish girl tried forcing her way in <_< Another example just up the road from here was a similar story, but it was a Polish guy who tried forcing his way into a woman's house. Unfortunately for him, her husband (a burly as f**k rugby player) was in, and went up to the guy, physically picked him up and threw him out the door. Weird...
