    It might not work if it's not connected, difference is it'll keep working virtually for ever unlike the other sort that'll go all wonky after 12 months.

    my DOF with flash gives me a guide to where it will go, especially useful in remote flash. Not as useful as taking the picture itself. I do use the white balance occasionally use programme App. but not shutter priority modes. Single and constant auto focus modes. Don't usually use anything other than Matrix metering. Most of the buttons get used daily though.

    did you empty the trash before removing the card, either that or use disc tools to erase the drive/card.

    It's never worth what you spend on it, unless you nicked it it's only worth what someone has paied for something thats like it, not just Like it recently.

    There isn't much inside a pair of fox floats, or at least there shouldn't be if they aren't knackered. Two bolts/nuts drain oil, reassemble with new oil have pint.

    I have a civic diesel with a clutch at 110K. It makes a squeaking noise but hasn't slipped yet (biting close to the carpet and quite heavy) The cost of Honda taking it out, and the piss while they're at is was £670.
    I'll hang on bit longer.

    Cut to the chase.

    It does in terms of setting it up. Which we've done a fair few time. The origional cranks used a bottom bracket that was huge 124.5.
    Its chainline that appears to be out.

    Yeah I'm missing simon Mayo on R5. That Twunt Bacon, coke sniffing pillock. Simon Mayo you'd like to listen to chatting to other interesting people, Bacon's like that annoying poorly educated ignorant person you get stuck with in the pub. I'm glad he return on fridays, it's a relief.

    Will be chatting to the local traffic Officers later today. thanks
    Apparantly thats what those black ribbons or cloths on the rear of card indicate, a willingness to be involved in an insurance claim.

    Did my Talas' but I'd use a better primer and harder finish as it's very chipped now. Nitromors works well. Stickers from Ebay.

    Ours work like this.
    Turn off the water, watch for the boiler needing a supply first.
    Remove Tap head usually under the cap with H or C on.
    Remove collar below where the tap's handles were.
    Un screw the valves with a large spanner, The Washers are under there,if it has them.
    Good skill for the future.
    You can tell if it's got washers by it feeling soft when you tighten the tap closed rather than a solid off position.

    The cutter Quad kit fits with a small driver and heat Sink. But it's tight and god does it get hot.
    I'll swap My Q5 quad if your not happy.

    The Infer red system used in the Nikon flashes and some cameras I've never really got on with. Very hit and miss and outdoors you can forget it completely. I used the Pocket Wizard system as it just works, ok it is expensive, and slightly cumbersome due to being an extra box to add to your camera and flash but I don't want excuses just results thanks nikon.

    I'm confused, what size one have you got that 3.4cm diameter by say 6-8mm thick won't fit? Been looking at all sorts but really don't have the space for a larger industrial one and the watchmakers ones are far too expensive.

    Lets cut to the chase, how many hostages do I need to take to get Mint into this Mag?

    I've had to send my XPG board back as the tracks pealed off the board. THe XRE is as good as ever and I've replaced it with an SSC for now. Still need to find someone with a proper internal heat sink.

    I'd be interested in knowing if the riding is mostly freeride and DH. I'm just not certain my wife would be as enthusiastic as me, and woud prefer some cross country riding instead.

    We lined ours, "we didn't need it" according to one person who quoted 1200 to just fit the fire. Fitted a flexible liner removed brickwork from inside the old Gas back boiler recess, Built a new hath and tiled it. Goes like a rocket now.
    Glad we did it.

    Did the wedding thing in the lakes, used a centre called Reghed. Got the whole place to ourselves after 6. Food superb and having seen every chintzy rund down hotel in the lakes it was modern light and really just what were were looking for. Try hiring a village hall, a friend did, small simple do with outside catering and a free bar servied by themselves. Small but such a memorable wedding. Worth thinking about so long as your not marrying in some urban enviroment, villages work well.

    Turn it upside down and run the roller on a sheet of paper in every direction. It's usually just dirt on the ball.

    Thats how I remember it tightens towards the pedaling direction.

    I'm fairly certain I'm turning the pedals the correct way. Where does one find plus gas?

    I like the certainty of soldered joints especially under floorboards. Solder rings stuff is easy.

    Shock now back on the bike. I had to jack the shock shut first though, it's an epic with not a lot of room at the mount point. thanks for the help.

    mikey-simmo

    Ah, now there is an idea. Does the length of the shocks internal structure won't get any shorter, it's the negative side of the air chamber which makes compressing the shock so hard.

    Oh that is fantastic. Wish I'd had one of these wen I was growing up down there. Lots of Ideas for my next visit to my folks.

    I tried Skype but it wanted you to make the local call the pick it up, kinda defeated the point of it. Fring was ok but I can't get it to install on my n95 since the firmware was updated. Appeared to work but the phone was so shonkey I made little difference and didn't stay operational long enough to try it.

    I've just had a mare soldering on the connectors on my XPG board. They peal up so easily. The ERX versions were much much more durable when trying to get the board back into the housing. as luck would have it I managed to peal up the track scrape the black off and solder carefully to that. Not perfect but it's holding for now. All in all, I'm not really impressed with this new board and will be ordering XRE Q5's from now on as I'm happy with the 4 can's done already using this method and I don't think the XPG MPCB is quite up to the job.
