    If it's a huge crown like the numpty crowd going round Llandegla on Saturday then please post to tell where and when to avoid it.

    clamp it in a vice with soft jaws then wiggle the wheel by holding the rim'//tyre. wiggle side to side of the jaw clamp it will come out.

    mine were stuck well hard. had to use a soft jaw and vice.

    the ER6i are the best headphones but only 2 flange ear bud's i would love 3 flange ones for them as they are far more comfortable.

    My one pair is over 5 years (an early ER6i) and the others.. hmm 3-4 years.. they get used a LOT get the 3 flange ones though they are more comfy in your ear.

    the only issue i personally have is the sound deadening it's TOO good.
    with me ER6i you could hear the cable catching on stuff (only a double flange bud) and when listening to quieter stuff you could hear the cable noise.
    the others are fine with the 3 flange system. only "issue" is if you catch them and yank em out!! JESUS!! it's like pulling out swimming ear plugs very fast…

    buzz-lightyear, social network sites are not the aim of this tool, they just interact with it to some degree (via API's), it's just a popular medium atm so they make sure they give it a mention.

    like i said, it can also do forums like this

    this whole thread/forum is a wave.

    we are all replying to comments made, the same is on a wave.
    the power is the real time nature of it, you could literally see me typing this reply if you had the page open as i typed the reply.

    if someone posted oh i have one of those for sale in a discussion you could reply to only that person but the overall effect is like a huge instant message thread with branches/comments/pictures/media etc.

    take the time to watch the video, yes it's long and at first you will be "ohhh wooo" (sarcastic) but then the power of the system becomes apparent.

    if you post to a blog, you can add photos and text as you would do to a blog, you can add others to the Wave (say people you went on holiday with) they can add photos and comments. you can then add a blog robot that takes that thread and puts it on your blog where the world can see it and comment, others collaborate on the wave which updates the blog.

    it does have real world impact and could easy replace email systems internal of a company, as most companies use 75% of email as instant messaging and then other tools/apps to create collaboration documents.

    personally i hated it, from the fire road climbs, to the bowl that seams to blow into your face no matter what parts your at. All that climbing for little reward IMO.

    no flow for me either, CYB and Afan offer a better days ride for me.. happy to do the white/wall/phynrill (SP?) trails.

    not everyone is going to like a place. hell i like CL!! i got shot down for that.

    It's like anything … .. … GO RIDE IT AND MAKE UP YOUR OWN OPINION :-) :D :wink:

    custom moulded are the best but thought says £100 was pushing it for the extra £90 for the custom mold

    it's common issue on that manufacturer and your not the first person i've seen that has had their 2nd set refused.. the wire breaks inside the plug connector always the same side too.

    i got some of these bad boys i also have some reference headphones from them to, excellent quality in manufacture and sound.

    no burps with my stans rim strips.. but i don't run them any lower than i would with tubes in.

    fozzybear
    Free Member

    i use the strips with mine even though i have 819 rim's makes them easier to pump up, i also run high roller kevlar's (none ust) no strip they are imposable to mount without a air line, with strip they mount ok (with some furious pumping on the track pump)

    we have to cage our truck tyres, never blown one yet but the guy sets the pressure connects the air line and back round a corner.. :)

    is there a way to set your compressor pressure then?

    fozzybear

    ahh ok :)

    fozzybear

    H&S will be after you :(

    can you reduce the pressure on the compressor? it's not the high pressure that's needed just the flow/volume.

    ive seen a carbon flex pivot snap on a ride and this year in the alps saw a rear end collapse completely under braking (also think someone has the same issue here and posted a photo) and another chalet member fell off, his bike landed on it's side as it did the stay hit a rock in the ground, the force split the stay, think they wanted something in the region of 600 euro's for a replacement which he would get 50% back or something..

    …always felt a little perched on top and not sat in it…

    Glad it's just not me too x 2
    felt like i was sat on the front forks, i seamed to be directly over the steerer was the way i felt.
    pedalled well though, light too, looks nice.

    buy one… nar never!

    i was in the exact same situation, test rode a few bikes, didn't like the 575 (and i saw one crack in the alps this year, seeing as i need a bike that last 2 months of alpine descending i wasn't tempted by that one or any other yeti specially with carbon) or the alpine (rode well, the setup i was supplied was poor, springs to hard in the shock and forks, rode well though lost the maxle out the thing, would be my choice if i was looking for a more DH based bike than all day, trail centres and some alps DH) the AM 5 was nice but noisy and to much like my old heckler and i wanted a change
    i got this in the end

    i thought the 970 had 104 bcd so any normal ring will fit?

    something like a FSA or truvativ or raceface would do

    main aim of tubeless is to be able to run lower pressures

    WRONGGG imo…

    it cover so much more than that.

    puncture protection
    tyre deformation characteristics
    weight
    rolling resistance
    improved grip

    like i said i was the biggest sceptic of tubeless, i now run tubeless rims with stan's fluid on stan's rim strips (i know but it makes getting the tyre on so much easier) with none tubeless tyres.

    Steve it never interested me at first, actually i would say i was the least interested in tubeless ever.

    i rode afan and got 2 punctures (running at 30psi in the rear) with pinch punctures with tubes.
    i find personally i get a little more grip, less roll over on the tyres (i don't run lower pressures like some it's not about that for me, i find tubeless i get more grip anyway without needing to go lower) puncture and pinch protection. weight isn't an issue for me more or less i don't care for the advantages i find.

    glad you didn't take is as a dig was about the camera and mounting (from the camera) not you or your riding.

    we found the best way was to get some of that halfords car dash anti slip foam wrap it round the body and zip it to the helmet one front/one back, than you have almost 3/4 suspension systems to smooth it out

    the bike suspension
    your legs
    your neck/joint
    the foam

    FOV is a issue with origin.. yer, we went to a go pro wide.. i would like to get a go pro HD now :)

    Steve i looked as some stan's last weekend.
    they looked cheap.. poorly pinned and welded i went for 819 in the end (i just sold a 719 rim on the forum, i could have sold you all the kit to make them up on to you pro 2's had i known..
