love your commitment to this forum! good luck

No.

2x 2Gb sticks will give you the best combination of RAM possible on a 32-bit Windows system. You’ll lose a little (half a gig or so) for technical reasons, but it’s still your best option (assuming the hardware will support it – hence the Crucial memory checker suggestion).

I was referring to Poddy’s comment regarding 2x4gb.

before you buy loads of new RAM make sure your computer can support it. If its 32 bit I think the limit is 3 or 4 GB. Anymore will be wasted

wouldn’t say obsessive but I like The Coastal Crew videos.

get the apple one, secures in place by magnets and folds up to prop your ipad on

pizza from scratch inc dough. bit messy but after the dough its plain sailing but she should find that but fun anyway. Can also make little dough balls with garlic butter as a starter. can dig out a recipe if you want?

press and hold the on/off button for at least 20 seconds. worked on my i-pod, worth a try

CRC showing due in stock 28th December

should take just under an hour from FoD to Cwmcarn. Will also be packed there on Sunday though unless you go early.

Mrs got fed up of a filthy bike in the car and in the lounge (live in a flat) so she bought me a Mobi washer as an early xmas present and I got to say im impressed with it. Holds enough water to wash at least 4 or 5 bikes for a quick wash and has various pressure settings. Bike now gets a 3 minute hose down before it gets back in the car whick keeps her indoors happy.

My mate does it and he’s gone 30. If I was good enough I’d do it too. Do it while you still can!

Used mine last night for 1st time and very happy with it. It’s nice and small and feels good quality. Went for the endurance version so have 2x standard battery.

bought £5.99 cable cutters today from screwfix and worked a treat on shortening my Reverb hose

which mouse is it?

Downs you only just had ur bike n thinking of changing colour already? Think it’s about £200 ish by the way

+1 Amsterdam American. Make sure you book a room on the canal side on 3rd floor to get a nice big balcony facing trees and the canal. Food in restaurant was lush and room prices cheap considering location. I’ll upload a balcony view later (on iPod now)

My Hope V2’s have worked faultlessly since ive had them (2 years). The same cant be said about my old shimano brakes!

awesome 😉

slik graphics look alright. Never used them but they can be slow apparently

they do look pretty yes. I have a silver thomson elite which does have a nice finish on it, but will be swapped for a reverb next week but will keep it as a spare as the up and downy thing will prob break at some point

have you not heard of the internet? try looking at:

IPoAC.

oh right, yes thats it 😉

Are you using RFC 1149?

??? erm, dunno. whats that?

Bloody hellfire Creamegg

i should point out im in Camp Bastion so all things considered its not too bad.

Is there a thread for the slowest internet?

only joking 😉

i was dissapointed with the Skyline trail as a whole although loved the final descent. Not sure i’d bother doing the full route in a hurry again but will definatelly do the final descent again if thats not affected by trail closures?

Sketchup works on windows 7 here.

im sure they’ll be glad of the work!

I’ve been asking the same question myself for the last few days. Waiting for delivery!

there’s 10% off (over £75) anyway. code is TENUK. can you use more than one discount code at once?

no worries… cant find a picture anyway

I have a nice comfy second hand leather sofa in storage (working abroad) that i would consider selling. If your interested I should be able to dig out a picture from somewhere. Was £1750 ish new. Don’t really want to sell but its costing me money in storage.

EDIT: id sell for around £900 ish (Cardiff area)
Oh and its a 3 and a 2 seater (but quite big- youd fit 4 on the 3 seater at a squeeze)

@Loco… so they havent added anything as such? Thought it was closed for improvements/additions. Ive heard guys on mx bikes up round there but not on the trail itself but wouldt be suprised if some do use the trail

@cardiff…

what are the changes to the Cwmcarn XC trail like? (up by the freeride area)

@ahwiles… thats not the five, thats closer to an Orange road bike. Heres the five (in blue)

If I catch someone up on a downhill section I’d normally pause for a few minutes to allow them to get to the bottom without hearing my Hope hub buzzing in their ear.
If someone catches me up (normally on an uphill) i’ll stop, pullover and let them pass

fair play takes balls to do that as its so unpredictable as to how they will react. Well deserved beer!

I work abroad for 10 weeks at a time during which my bike is always stored upside down. No issues yet, (been working abroad for over a year now). I have Hope Tech V2’s. They probably just need a bleed, there’s some videos on the Hope website if you need some pointers.

I usually jump in the car with my girlfriend, get the map out and we randomly pick out a mountain as I drive(I base mine on the highest peaks if I can). This method has worked for us everytime and as a result makes sure we see every corner of the beacons and havent had a dissapointing walk yet. Cant remember the names of them though, wish I’d started writing them down so I know which i’ve done and which I havent.
