    Dick I secretly hate you

    Okay, it's a bit beyond his level at the moment (he's just 3) but he helps...
  3. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    One thing I noticed though. No more debonair rc3. Just the RT now

    Green? That's turquoise! Full xt and spline wheelset. Pretty darn good!
  5. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Looking forward to building them with the lightie.
  6. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Soooo wanted the tumbler, and the opera house, and the bus, and and and... But I came out with these.
  7. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Awesome. Oh. Just a thought. Are you going to be selling it in a few months when you move to NZ? If so... dibs!
  8. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Is that the 10l, Wayne? How much if you don't mind me asking...
  9. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Same...
  10. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    I have 2of the newer meccano sets, and I must admit I'm not impressed with the quality at all... far rather go for technix

    I say again... dibs :-)
  13. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Yeah. Good deal. 35k is the reign 2, and 38 is the trance advanced... Okay, no pike, but still carbonzzzz
  14. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    It's got me on it. Dirty by association.
  15. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Yeah. Apparently the evolution and performance versions were worst hit.
  16. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Was it the FIT cartridge? I remember reading that that one was a bit better.
  17. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Yeah. Agreed. The price though is a huge factor. Yoikes
  18. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Hahaha! Easy. I have proof of me sucking at clearing a jump.
  19. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Okay, Tim. I admit I wasn't clear there. Let's just leave the 32 out of this as it resembles wet spaghetti at anything above 130mm (yes, tested) Fox 34 competes with the Revelation, but tries to take on the pike. Has good small bump compliance and reportedly takes care of the lack of mid stroke support that the CTD era was renowned for. Fox 36 and the pike are direct competitors. Split decisions as to which is better. Easy enough? Lyrik is the stiffer burlier pike. Those who want a slightly stiffer chassis than What the pike affords (not me, pike is plenty stiff for what I ride as you know) mainly for guys who ride park. Built to take on the Fox 36 at 180mm, I'd presume. Yari and sektor are the budget versions of both. Performance segment killers, if you will.

    Are you being deliberately obtuse, or is it just an unintended consequence? Apparently the 34 has the same excellent small bump compliance as the pike, but in a slightly less stiff package. You should really be comparing the 34 to the Revelation though. Pike is a direct competitor to the 36, not the 34 (well, see below... got a bit muddled with the lyrik) even though there's some cross coverage. Add to this... the lyrik has changed that a bit. So yes, comparison can be 34 to pike and 36 to lyrik.

    Which reminds me... the long term giant needs a wash.
  22. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Not only in mtb. Road riding, automotive, industrial and so many more areas, including cooking where it originAtes from. I.e. adding butter to a sauce to make it smoother and more pleasing to the palate. Hence, buttery smooth
  23. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Feckit. Sucks. First death in f1 in ages.
  24. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    And the cable. About 400g or so
  25. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Only when the gap between the top and bottom exceeds 39 teeth (for shimano) Not sure of SRAM. So, never. Unless they come out with a 49t
