Have you gone deaf in one ear?

Can.Not.Wait….2 Weeks to go :mrgreen:

Heavy Tyres, Supertacky, Low Pressures, Full Suspension. Duct Tape your gear shifters so you can’t use them.

So if you don’t have time to do brownies, crisp it up just like you’re rolling a joint then crumble it into a yoghurt. Better for you and you get a way smoother high”

Jeez, that takes me back! Cosmic Yogurts!

I would suggest a games console PS4 or XBox, along with something for your pain and discomfort, that is all you really need.

Whooooaaa… Is it 2002? :lol:

This link will help

I’m pretty sure it has something to do with these guys…

Stumpy01 – I use Fusion 360 for personal use and have never had to pay for it. Make sure you are not signed into a Business Autodesk Account when you open it.

Do you guys realise if you click that little down arrow on the top right of the posts you can click
“Hide Post – see fewer posts like this”. :roll:

I am surprised they haven’t brought out 220/250mm rotors yet! We may not need them, but I bet they sell like hot cakes. :lol:

Autodesk Fusion 360 is free for personal use. They have 100’s of official tutorials on YT to get you going. They even had a tutorial using a swing arm for a mountain bike, I have just spent 5 minutes looking for it, but couldn’t find it.

If you had a 3D printer you could print a prototype for mockup. :wink:

If I fall off and hit my knee, it usually means I can’t ride for 4-8 weeks. With knee pads it doesn’t matter if I have fallen off, my knees are fine and not even bruised.

It depends if you want to be in pain when walking for a couple of weeks with the possibility of not riding for a while, or wear knee pads like 80% of the bikers I see.

10-15 years ago most people didn’t wear a helmet. :wink:

Not long now, not long now. :-)

For bike tinkering it has to be my autoloading rachet screwdriver, I’ve replaced the screwdriver attachments for Torx & Allens. I can nearly build a complete bike with it, excluding cassette & BB tool and possibly something else I’ve forgotten.

mmmm…. Boost..

Boost Hubs, Boost Bottom Brackets, Boost Forks… Isn’t there a 150mm & 157mm spacing too?

Too many types!!

Found the Reverb Manual… Yes is the answer, it can be connected with or without the Connectamajig, that means I should get it further in the seat tube by 1-2″… Possibly.

Those RT86 are Ice Tech, not Freeza. Freeza have the cooling fins.

Jagwire, Uber & Superstar offer rotors with cooling fins, but I don’t think the fins are sandwiched between the rotor surfaces like the RT99.

I found once I switched to a decent PLA filament, the prints were a lot better and had less “issues”. I currently use ColorFabb, also found Indigo quite good, but the colours where quite pale.

With your i3, you might find it better if you can bolt it down to a bit of wood, so it doesn’t get out of alignment so quick. It also means you can move it about easier.

Where’s the photo’s of everyone’s prints!? I’ll start:

This was with the rubbish filament, just before the printer was returned due to undersized rods, there was a lot of play in the head.

I know a couple of places that have charged over £8m for a weekend of shooting. 8O and they re-booked for the following year! :lol:

It used to be a royal pain putting on normal grips.. Kettle of water, soak the grip in it, take it out, dry it, spray hair spray on the bar, try and slide it on and only get half way.. And that was the easy part! Taking them off was a right pain in the arse!

Now with lock ons its slide it on, tighten 2 allen bolts, job done….

Oh I’ve got some shitty shifters that have to be slid on the bars.. undo the two lock on bolts, slide off, slide shifter on, slide on grips, tighten the bolts.

That is a hell of a lot easier than getting a hot bowl of water, resting one grip in the hot water then try and take it off and end up scratching the bars from using a screwdriver to try and remove the grips, sometimes resulting in cutting the damn things off then going and buying some more… :roll:

I don’t understand the reasoning for not using lock ons.

Once you have the basic settings dialed in, try printing the 3DBenchy[/url]. Gives you a really good idea if your printer is dimensionally accurate and what it can and can’t handle.

I would like a copy of an updated Enduro route please! :wink:

I like the Red Freeminers downs, but the ups are killer, it certainly doesn’t feel like 4.5 miles 8O

Definitely finish by doing a couple of the DH runs, they are good fun! Here’s a link to the DH trail map.

OctoPi is great, I have it installed along with a 4″ touchscreen and a camera, great for keeping an eye on the print.

I use Simplify3D for translating the STL’s to gCode, it costs money, but my print quality has improved with it.

Here is a helpful print quality guide:

And another one:

Over extrusion, under extrusion, not sticking to print bed, etc, etc

In Pila my buddy got 6 punctures! First one was punctures on both wheels, while fixing it 2 Germans also got punctures in the same place on tubeless. The next 3 runs he got 4 more punctures! I had selective hearing that day, I just couldn’t hear him say “**** Puncture Again!” :lol:

That week he got punctures daily and it became the norm for him to fix innertubes at lunch.

Milkie, that is a filthy playlist.

Lunge, I wore out the vinyls! 8O I will be playing those this evening on Serato.

Does anyone make a mud guard like the one above for Fox n Rockshox forks?

I know the one above is a Prototype for the DVO forks, but can’t find anything like it for Fox’s.

There are soo many that I could list, some really good ones from the early 90’s, but these are top ones.

200mb Broadband and no speed restrictions!! Especially during peak hours, the speed is quick. 12gb Update at 6-8pm, no problem, that’ll be about 10 minutes!

Back in ’96 I would often buy vinyl singles for £20+. I still have them all and wouldn’t sell any of them, the problem is most of them are screwed from being over played/over cue’d. :roll:

The one problem with vinyl is the degradation from worn needles, not being stacked correctly and poorly handled & cue’d.

I wouldn’t buy vinyl without listening and looking at the vinyl first.

There were some 2nd hand vinyl shops in Manchester, I would spend hours in there listening to all the 10p & 20p vinyls… I have some proper classics from back then!

Might have to dust off the 1’s n 2’s tonight!

6 weeks for a component to be “repaired” and then it comes back damaged! Company involved are not great on the communication front.

Sounds like YT to me!

Damn!!! I must remember never to buy a 2nd hand shock off any of you guys! :lol:

I get my rear shock serviced every year, it makes a big difference. I never notice it getting worse, I only ever notice it once it has been done.

If you want to be tinkering, playing with settings, upgrading parts, etc then get a cheap £200, but I wouldn’t recommend one.

Even a £400 you will be playing about with settings, but the quality & speed of the prints will be better and the settings shouldn’t change too much, and may not need setting up everytime you print something.

With all 3D printers, I say all but maybe not the £100k+ bracket, you need to know about 3D printing, we are a long way off being able to just press print like a paper printer.

I have a Wanhao D5S and its great, perfect for prototypes, making GoPro brackets, models, etc and the settings don’t drift and prints are consistent. I hear good things about the Wanhao i3+ and D4S. You need to narrow down what you want from a printer, then look at what printers would fit your needs.

You really do get what you pay for, but knowledge will take you from having an average printer to “oh my God I can’t believe you printed that on an i3!”.

What a freakin numpty! I was over thinking it, wondering how an earth do you stop the air escaping when you remove the pump, forgetting that is the whole purpose of a valve core! :oops:

Thanks for the reply guys! I also found out, after a bit of Googling that these extenders are for non removable cores, you can also get ones for removable cores. :wink:

No I didn’t use a rock, I used two rocks! :lol:

Hotel Etoile De Neige always seems to get good reviews. It’s at the top of the main lift.

XCO… Is that like Enduro but more hardcore cos they don’t have a break at the top and use hardtails/small FS travel :lol:

The Sahmurai Sword[/url] fits inside your handlebars taking up even less room :wink:

I’ve never been, be there for 3 weeks in September! Not great at jumping, so hopefully I should come back with wings, but will be doing a lot of singletrack around Whistler, have also booked the heli drop through BB. :wink:

This is real shit. It’s good shit, right? Bad shit like, this shit is bad? It’s shit shit. This shit isn’t worth shit. Anybody caught on the street with this would get killed.

This is real shit.

I don’t know if my bike is shit, I try not to ride other peoples bikes in case I find my bike is shit… No wait, it must be shit, its got kiddie sized 26″ wheels. :lol:
