Yeah, Not really what i’m asking.. Was after recommendations on decent bearings that last and where to order them from?

Maybe, but not that I know of… I’m in Wyre Forrest area

Thanks

Do you need a specific url? Where does it say about evoc?

I was out Sunday 13th, so a week or so ago and it was very wet and very muddy, can’t imagine the snow melting will help either.

Wear one biking, wear one boarding.

Ordered Reverb dropper came in two days saved me about £70

AppleTV’s are great if you want to rent/buy films or tv series from iTunes but apart from that not a lot else apart from Airplaying from your mac, iPad or iPhone.

As for Jailbreaking its a piece of cake, download SeasonPass and it does everything. Obviously jailbreaks are only available for certain hardware on particular software versions, so bare that in mind if you buy.

I have my AppleTV2 jailbroken running XBMC which streams media from my NAS. Works Great…

Restore the device, then take it to the phone provider to be unlocked.

Check the BPC and Reach before you bleed

If you have an Android or iPhone try tethering,

I’ve used it on Three in the last month as the phone line was dead for nearly 14 days and it was great with speeds of around 3+mbit which is fine for general surfing and was enough for me to watch HD youtube clips. It does kill the phone battery a little.

Thanks for all replies, ended up going to Coed-y-Brenin for the first time and rode Tarw and Cyflym Coch Trails. Got pretty lucky with the weather on the way round, but got completely drenched loading the bikes.

Yeah I have one… only messed with it a little…

You’ll need the following to make it useful, Powered USB Hub, Keyboard, Mouse, 2GB+ SD Card and USB WiFi Adapter, maybe a case as well.

Works great with Raspbmc as a media player, you can install various linux distros and use like a standard pc, if not slow tho. I’ve used mine as a VPN Server to connect into my home network from outside.

On a side note, maybe look at an Arduino. It can be programmed from PC or Mac and will give a basic insight into programming but allow you to visually do something like light LEDs, drive motors, receive switch inputs etc…

Yeah, think we have till about 3pm before it chucks it down again…

Thanks Ron Jeremy :)

Read this thread and was thinking Cwmcarn, but maybe not after your replies. Will it just be large puddles or are we talking slippy, sticky mud after all this rain?

What router are you using?

Try changing the wireless channel on the router! If your neighbours are on the same or very close channel to you, you will both be fighting each others signal. Also if you don’t have one a newer N router should give better range, also a dual band router may help if you are getting interference on 2.4Ghz

Daughter wanted one and looked into it and discovered that it has no storage and this had to be bought, then thought why over a normal laptop and could not come up with an answer hence she is getting a laptop for christmas.

They have no storage because your mean’t to use online services like Google Drive, for local storage you can use memory sticks, plus they do have a little internal storage. Its a Cloud based device tho, so the idea is stuff doesn’t really leave the internet.

To convert from mov, try Handbrake works great for most videos.

As for Movie Maker ditch it and invest in something better.

I Want HD

Is that software quite old? It might be checking the Virtual Memory of your PC and with 12GB of memory Windows might not be assigning any virtual memory because it has plenty of physical memory. Try setting the virtual memory to be a few GBs.

I’m guessing/hoping with 12GB of RAM your running 64bit Windows, if the software is old it might not play nicely with 64bit OS, have a play around with the compatibility settings.

Raspberry Pi was useless for the first couple of months unless you were a linux nerd :) But its much better now, and using Raspbmc it runs XBMC great.

Generally has many uses if your ok with linux, VPN Server, Router, Downloader for torrents etc..

Get the hard drive out, chuck it in another PC, back up all your files, then format/fresh install?

Extreme…. and no need.

Grab a copy of Hiren, or another boot disk that has “Offline NT Password Changer”

Boot off the disk, load Offline NT Password Changer and clear the Administrator password. Will take seconds to do.

Edit: Assuming its Windows

Quick… 2 days via DPD for Rockshock Reverb couple of weeks ago

+1 for bike-discount.de

Ordered Rockshox Reverb on Wednesday last week, they arrived two days later… £50 cheaper than CRC and other UK stores and included bleed kit which is £30 here… Postage was only £4 from Germany, which is cheaper than most UK websites..

dan77, would love to know the local weather forecast for the next week?

Does it rain and then dry up quickly?

I have been checking online but hoping what i’m seeing isn’t true! First time to Morzine and hoping for a dry run.

Came across an old guy taking photo’s of two naked ladies posing against an oak tree at the end of the Camber run in Wyre Forest, it is now know to us as the “titty” track.

Those pics are reassuring to see, after keeping an eye on weather in Morzine, which seemed like as much rain as here in the UK I was thinking the trails would just be a mud fest.

Hope the sunny days last, we get there next week on 27th. Dan77, please keep posting a few pics a day if you can.
