its really good value for me. paying nothing but still get to watch all the channels over the internet 8)

does it ride any different to the last one? and can you run coil shocks on it?

Drac, you can get those little panning shots as an effect on windows movie maker, so i thought he might’ve done that.

looks like a fun little track. self filmed was it?

never, it becomes a monster cross apparently :roll:

anyway OP, cant you race around on the back streets were the snow is a little compresed, but still rideable, could be quite fun.

the noise is there to remind you to pedal :wink:

forcing me to do a chainring shift to access either end of my previously easily accesible ratios?

nail > head. this is why im sticking 3×9.

the way i see it, granny ring – uphills, middle – flat, big – downhill, i then use the cassette to trim the gearing. with 2 up front if you run out of gears on the little cog, you shift up on the front but then have to shift the chain right the way across the cassette to get the gear you want (does that make sense, its late…)

also if anyone can point me in the direction of a ramped 40 tooth cog for the front i would be very grateful.

there were some kona ones on crc for like £2 a few days ago

hes still not as good at riding as i am though :D

ok, what do you want to know?

have you got this in front of you?

ok, basically follow that.

ive done a lowers service on my recons. follow the manual, dead easy.

ive got the 2.4 protection version. nice tyre. fast on the hard stuff, but also able to bite in when the trail gets a bit softer. 2.4 is fairly big(ish), but not ridiculous. id probably get two 2.4 instead of the 2.2, but i run as mahoosive a tyre as i can get away with on the rear (currenly rolling on a 2.4 rubber queen 8) )

black chilli compound is brill, grippy and quick, nuff said.

tyre goes for more of a drifty feel when really lent over, not a bad thing and its super easy to control. straight line traction is top notch.

mine is used as a summer tyre, overall 7.5/10 (bearing in mind 5/10 is an ok tyre)

Question is, would you give the mum your helmet?

only if i hadn’t used it in a while :-)

the helmet’s so you dont crack your head off the rock.

Whenever i see a dude wearing shorts over running tights, i think “massive insecurity issues”.

at least you dont have to see anything else :wink:

ive got the nike ones, one run in and they seemed pretty good.

good stuff, thanks for the reminder

but why not have a larger upper bearing as well?

its alright, id enjoy it more if i had someone to clean my bike/enough money to replace all the stuff that just gets ground away by the mud :(

was just firkin cold and rainy in swansea today. still went out though :P

actually pretty good, and those cars 8O

fizik nisene

continental vertical on the back and maxxis minion on the front.

if the 575 has the carbon rear end do not buy it as itll most likely fail. i cant give much more help than that really :|

NHS, i dont hate it, but it could be a lot better…

looks great, leave the stickers off as well.

is this pretty much just a blue pig, but in aluminium?

well, phtorec got me the photos again, but still no video :(

trying super…

hacksaw to sort out my steerer tube (way easier to do than everyone makes out :? ) and a pair of pedals for the bmx cruiser. off to primark later to buy a duvet as well.

SD card is brand new. bought it while i was over there and has only had these snaps put on it.

running it through photorec at the mo, so we’ll see what it throws up, thanks.

pff, i dont need to watch the videos :wink:

but seriously, no i haven’t. never thought about searching , but now you mention it *tottles off to youtube*

That’s some good wrist action you’ve got going on there Float.

:roll: :D

actually im not sure, if theyre both maxle lite then yes they are. not sure about maxle / maxle lite compatability though.

12051rpm is my fastest so far 8)

funny, i watched american beauty just last night. this sounds like the same kind of thing.

do whatever makes you happy.

My gravity dropper snapped twice in 6 months so was pretty problematic!

how fat big are you? :-)

genuine question by the way.

for me, i thought id use u-turn a lot more than i actually am.

bit late on this reply but…

granted i didnt take into account im renting a room, rather than an entire house (uni) but still.

rent: £65 a week, £3120 a year (living with 4 others)
food: £25 a week, £1200 a year

leaves £680 for bills and other stuff. ok maybe 5 grand was pushing it a bit, but my point is that people dont realise how little you can actually survive on.

yes, theyre amazing

i could survive on about 5k a year. i could LIVE on £26k a year :D

and your wheel will hit the seat tube

here we go, near the bottom of the page.

sorry for your loss, isnt it a warranty job for cotic?

for some reason i think ive seen a few other pics of titanium frames fail there :? ill try and see if i can find the thread…
