Fair enough, I'll try a different forum for my MTB fix.

I'll read the forum any way I like. I expressed my opinion as requested by the OP. If you don't like my opinion then f**k off into another thread, nobody forced you to read it.

Personally I'm getting sick and tired of the same few people spouting political drivel on a forum that I joined due to an interest in riding mountain bikes. I use the unread posts function so it doesn't really matter which section of the forum it's posted in. I've got to the point where...

It's just called "Tones" these days - they changed it when they combined all the ring tones and alert tones so you could use them for either.

If you want to expand the argument that Argentina should govern the people of the Falkland Islands because of some tenuous historic claim then I wonder how you're going to give the bad news to the good ole US of A that they don't have the right to govern themselves. Argentina lost all and...

You can take cats for a walk, many years ago we had 3 cats that would go for a walk with us around the local footpaths. Strangely, whilst walking alone may seem weird to some, more people found it weird seeing us walking up the path with 3 cats running backwards and forwards and laying in...

DiResta has already been linked to Mercedes as a replacement for Shuey with both Mercedes and Ferrari "expressing an interest" in him. I don't think Alonso will put up with a potential rival in the nest at Ferrari so I'd assume as long as Alonso stays at Ferrari any driver going to join him...

I have a compressor and airline in my garage, I have a compressor and airline in my Land Rover, I have pressure gauges in every vehicle I own. They all work with Schrader valves and mean I only ever use a pump if I get a puncture while I'm out and about. I use Schwalbe tubes that have a...

If he's intending staying in the UK he might be better getting the filler changed as some garages don't like you using adaptors as some of them can damage the seals on the filler (apparently) and they don't always seal that well. Autogas 2000 (as linked above) can supply fillers that will...

BBC sold off the rights to F1 to Sky because they have something better to do this year. Apparently there's some local athletics meet in London that's far more deserving of national coverage than F1. I think it's called "London 2012" or something similar. I'm glad Sky bought the rights...

I'm happy with my BB7s - use them front and rear on mine. They are a bit "soft" when you first put them on and I think this puts a lot of people off them. They take a good 20 miles or so to bed in after which they are as good, IMO, as any of the hydraulics I've tried. The only downside...

Must admit I hate the "nag" software too. TouchBB doesn't have a "nag" feature and works with phpBB2 and 3. Tapatalk can have the "nag" feature removed when you install the script on the forum.

I think the OP wanted a bit more than pic uploading though. Browsing a forum in a "browser", especially one like this that isn't optimised for mobile devices, is a PITA and uses far more data than would be required with an optimised solution. If you don't want to use an app and are happy to use...

There are a number of "off the shelf" apps that work with phpbb (the software this forum is driven by), a mod has to be installed onto the forum for them to work though. Forum Runner or tapatalk for example... http://www.forumrunner.net/ http://www.tapatalk.com/ Not sure how many of them...

It's unlikely that it'll fit on any steel frame unfortunately. I bought one on spec for my Marin steel frame in the hope that I could make it fit but gave up on it in the end. It needs a LARGE flat dropout area to work.

Not really, no. The point of sniping, and the reason people do it, is to take advantage of the fixed end time for the auction - the fixed end time being the time bids are closed NOT that the maximum bid has been reached. It's the equivalent of an auctioneer bringing the hammer down half way...

ebay isn't really an auction it's a bit of a hybrid sealed bid/auction system that makes "sniping" the best way to buy an item at the lowest possible price given the number of other people interested in it. The greatest piece of marketing Ebay use is the whole "win an item" terminology. Some...

Yes, best bet is to get a full version if you can. Once you've installed it and connected it to the internet run a software update (under the Apple menu) and it'll upgrade to the most recent version of Leopard and apply any security patches.

It should run Leopard without any problem. the memory requirement is only 512k and I don't recall any Macs of around that period coming with less than that. The CPU is certainly fast enough to handle it. TBH Panther should run without crashing anyway but the version of Safari at that time had...

Putting aside the bollocks being spouted by the "haters" you might also want to consider a Mac Mini as a third alternative. The iMac and Macbook Pro both offer good value for money in terms of screen performance and spec but you do pay for it and the screen is where most of the cost goes...
