    Not exactly sure what it is that’s new, I think there may be some 3D effects that YouTube can’t handle. I know Redbull and a few others are interested which is why they’d like it to be a success.

    Mr P I’m sure you’re right about VW forum as he’s always on there 🙂

    They size pretty much like normal T-shirts so I’d say that puts you in XL territory for the chest, may be a little on the long side or you. I’m a 40″ chest and 6’2 wearing a large, but have a bit of chest room.

    Had Juicy 5’s, they were crap. Followed by Hopes which were just too modulated for me, now on Formula The One and LOVE them. Faultless over 2 years, changing pads out is so easy, light. Must I go on 😛

    Hacksaw, some masking tape to try and keep it straight, and use the landing section of a staircase to sit the forks on.
    You can then sit on the top step next to them and cut away.

    I treated myself to a 330d last August, and I have to say I’m still in love with it.
    I average around 43mpg during the week on the commute to work which is 18 miles each way, mostly A road with far too many roundabouts to be enjoyable. To be honest it’s more than quick enough, but if I really wanted to I could get it put on a rolling road and have power increased to over 300bhp.
    It’s a special edition which is I believe at 273bhp.

    I would ask myself how much mileage do you do and what type of roads, not sure I’d bother with a 335d.
    Oh mine is a coupe which I have now fitted a removable towbar to, and have a Thule towbar mounted rack for biking duties.

    I ride The One, and initially they were a little on off but part of that was I think a) new pads and b) me getting used to them.
    Personally I’d try riding them a little more, and I think soon you could be loving them.
    I know I do. 😀

    Just make sure you don’t put more than 20 psi in the air preload.

    Nukeproof hardshell. Once on though you don’t notice you are wearing them at all, with great padding in all the right places.

    Definitely go a size smaller than you expect as the size very large.

    Just to give you an idea the laser cartridge market in Europe alone is worth approximately 800 million a year, of which remanufactured cartridges account for about 20%. Ink is a far larger market.

    What printer have you managed to firmware block? It is possible to roll back if you have a copy of an earlier software version, It’s getting hold of an earlier version that can be difficult.

    I may also be able to put you in touch with someone who can provide you with cartridges that will work.

    Great to hear you were given excellent after sales service.

    Yes these things are a pain when they happen to a bran new product, but good on them both for resolving the matter quickly and efficiently. Bonus is that you can ride this weekend too.

    Echo everything said on here.

    Bullheart as you say about number 3 it is amazing that you could forget even for a few hours, I can only imagine what you would pay for that.

    The best thing though is how much you take away with you after a day with Tony, you’ll hear him in head every time you ride for the next few months at least.

    eBay will be by far the cheapest option.

    Trails are running great at the mo, and will be fine even if we have rain (as long as we don’t have 2 days non stop.)

    When I first went to see Tony I was a newbie as I’d only been riding for about 6 months, that was a year go. Was it worth it…. 100% yes.

    I wanted to get the basics right early on, and that’s what Tony instilled in my riding. My riding has progressed at a speed and to a level I never thought possible.

    I just need to keep working on my style in the air now, as I just haven’t got any 😳

    You can work 16 hours a week or less and it won’t effect your benefits anyway.

    Have a look for some Marzocchi 55 Ti, think you might be able to get some 2011’s for that money.
    Amazing fork!

    You need to contact Windwave who are the UK distributor for Marz, they did the coil conversion on my 55’s under warranty and sent me out both a lighter spring along with the heavier one fitted when they returned the fork.
    Great guys that I found extremely helpful.

    Saw Jedi’s post too. I’ll be searching for TR250’s for the next few months at least on several forums as waiting to see if one comes up, so can keep a look out longer term for this for you.

    Any idea of the frame size?

    I agree that these guys should get their royalties, but on this occasion as you only get 37 mins of film the of which you have probably seen 5 mins worth in trailers they are taking the p**s. They’ll not be getting anything of me this time.

    As to your actual question, sorry no idea.

    If it was mine I’d get a carbon collar fitted around the tube to cover and strengthen it. That way you could be sure it’s never going to get worse, and the weight gain if done properly should be about the same as a packet of crisps.

    Such a pain when a washing machine leaks everywhere.

    I am one of Tony’s apprentices in “the force.” 8 months ago dropping of a curb was about the limit of my capabilities, I’ve now had 2 lessons 6 months apart and have recently hit a 7 foot drop and cleared a 22 foot table. Not only that but I can keep up with the kids that are 15 years younger, and been riding far longer.

    In my eyes it’s all down to Tony’s teaching., and every time I ride I feel like a kid again. Worth every penny!

    They both come in about 1100 grams if I remember rightly.

    I have them both, and to be honest the fit is fairly similar on each. Don’t think you can go wrong with either.

    I have been advised by my consultant that it really should be a last resort. If your interested his website has good info on what is involved, especially if you watch animations.

    Have “the Ones” on both my bikes and frankly find them fantastic. A few people have tried them and commented that perhaps there s too much power, but I think you get used to what you have.
    Paid £279 a pair from a guy on eBay from France, great service given and at a price no-one else seems to be able to come close to. He was selling R1’s too..
