I don't think the spindles on ISIS BB's snap very easily. Have you ever broken one? Personally I'd go with the wider BB for a better choice of cranks/bashes/chainrings/frames if you do need to change. As for the bearings... there are 2 types of ISIS BB's - good ones and crap ones. The length has very little effect on how long the bearings will last. Jon

I drive a Rover Metro 1.1 Nightfire. Vrey exciting. As a second car, me and a mate have gone halves on a Metro 1.4 Gti for road rallying. It's rapid. Jon

Those rocks were built over 180 years ago. Sadly I have a Ball to attend and I'll turn into a pumpkin if I ride next weekend. Will hopefully make it out during the week some evening. Jon

I recieved the first 2 pairs of production models this morning. Once they're fitted, expect some pictures and some feedback... Jon

I should be out on Sat. There's a guy called Nick wanting to ride too. Can someone PM me a mobile number cos I'm sure I'll be late. Ta Jon

looks almost right... The IP there should probably be your IP, and I'd guess the 192.168.1.1 is the IP of the router. The external packet port needs to be set to the right number and UDP too. Jon

My experience of that router is it's a pain in the arse. Your best bet is probably to install the uPnP bit for windows (Add/Remove Programs, Windows Components, Networky type stuff) Assuming the software/P2P client you're using supports it, it'll ask the router to open the appropriate ports when they're needed. Jon

Ours is also being upgraded for free. They're also introducing a fair usage thing - I think they might object to the huge amounts of data that I've downloaded/uploaded. There'll be an off-peak time (1am -8am I think) where they don't monitor/don't care. :huh: Jon

Thanks Tom. Looks like a great pic. I don't think I'll make it to Notts tonight - too much work on at the moment. Hoping to get out riding this weekend somewhere, preferably on some rocks. Jon

Anyone fancy riding Notts tonight (weds 16th) or tomorrow (17th) in the evening. I'm not sure what the weather's doing yet. Jon

My computer has been restarting a few times recently... I've found it to be due to the automatic updates - windows gets impatient and restarts itself. Could be that? How often does it do it? Jon

That brought a tear to my eye. Thanks Sue. Jon

I'm parking at Tom's unless laziness means we park in the Victoria Centre. Jon

I'm waiting for Jansons Buy-Allpod to make an appearance... Jon

I don't think you can have a lock ring that doesn't require a tool... and it's hardly a special tool that you need since it's needed for Truvative and XTR BB's. As for the bash - sounds like a good idea, but people need a reason to change from their current bashes and I don't think it offers much over a standard bash. I think I'll wait and see what other companies are offering later in the year since I've heard rumours about new bashguards... Jon

My excuse: It would take far too long and most of my mp3's are in sensible filenames anyway. Jon

Here's mine: I didn't wait for winamp to finish reading all the ID3 tags. I should tidy it but I'm too lazy. Jon

Before you get all excited, ask Clive for a list of colours - There's not a great deal of choice. I couldn't have a dark blue or a purple :D Jon

Could try Roadie Cork stuff - you just wrap it around the bars. Ask in an LBS, or look on CRC or Ribble. Jon

I'm sure someone who's handy with a lathe could knock you up an adapter a little cheaper. PM Dave85 perhaps? If I ever sort out my bars/stems I might end up with a spare adapter, but that's not going to be for a couple of months... Jon

Yes, the big lions (not like you'll be able to read it in time) I'll be there with hititfaster. Might be earlier since I'm finishing work in Derby. Jon

Did you enjoy it? I'm working so can't comment on the video though... Jon

M25->M1->Junc 24 -> A453 ->> Nottingham (South) Or Junc 25 -> A52 -> Nottingham (West) Not sure on the services though... Jon

I strip it down when I have a new frame... so not very often. Everything I run now runs on sealed bearings so that's not much help to you. Other than cleaning/re-greasing the hub often... You could add a 'grease port' to the hub - drill a small hole in the hub shell and then use a syringe to pump grease into it. The old grease should come out where the bearings aren't sealed. Hopefully along with any crap that's got in. Otherwise keep saving :( Jon
