    Exactaroony.

    Snakeskin is the casing - the normal TLR (tubeless ready) aren't really strong enough to ride in the Cape with all our different terrain, and the Snakeskin ones are. They have an extra layer of protection on the sidewalls and under the tread. The TLR Evo has an extra layer on the sidewalls, but not under the tread. Pacestar / Trailstar / Vertstar are the compounds. Pacestar is the hardest, vertstar the softest. Trailstar is the happy medium, offering a good amount of grip without wearing out too fast. I wouldn't put a pacestar on the front.

    Don't do it. They're not the Snakeskin versions. You NEED the snakeskin versions. And I think they're Pacestar as well.
  4. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Erm... dude. Look at the date on this post you jsut quoted... I dare say Patches is now further along in his understanding of tires.

    The other thing it doesn't say is that the improvements on medical tech would have meant that there were less deaths as a matter of course. Do they also list the occurrence of cancer / stroke / heart attack etc instead of just focussing on death? And how can you say that the fat was the biggest problem, when they all cut down dramatically on smoking as well? There are also no other additional factors that they have brought in to the equation - exercise, drug use, illnesses and so on. Seems okay on the outside but when you dig down you realise they have concentrated on one section alone in order to prove a pre-conceived idea. IE: Animal fats are bad.

    That being the most pertinent resource...
  7. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Same. Front to back.
  8. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    LOL. Should, yeah. But if the system isn't working then well yeah...
  9. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Just changed (again) to right front. Getting used to it is gonna take a while...
  10. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Which could equally have been saved by... wait for it - reading the frikkin thread in the first place!!!

    It's also used when the car is not able to use the full power of the units, or so I understand. If a car just suddenly drops off in power, then the following car needs to know that.
  12. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Very good point there dude. Must say that of the SRT/RR S/Q7/TOUAREG I'd go RR S Each time. The srt is the new tender mobile along with the cayenne. X5?
  13. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    The combo from evobikes?
  14. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Good choice. What hubs and who is building them?
  15. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    They normally sometimes take that into account. But as said before - those Syncros rims are weaker than a 90 year old on cataflam, sleeping tablets and anti depressants.
  16. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    That's exactly why I don't watch it anymore. Sensationalist rubbish, without an ounce of journalistic integrity.
  17. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    LOL. The warping of space, time, the rim and everything else would be the Syncros's territory! Those things pretzel faster than a new yorker without a taxi. The ST's are, by all accounts, bulletproof. Mind you, a wet cloth would have more structural rigidity than a Syncros rim, so that's not much of a yardstick to measure by. Use the possibility of medical bills and / or her having to ferry you around for 2 months after the OEM rims explode in a shower of aluminium (or so they claim) nipples and spokes. It's for her own good that you upgrade, really...
  18. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    I'd do her... Just cos it'd be an interesting experiment.

    Ask Martin Hattingh what happened to him (a rather smooth rider with oooodles of riding experience) when he landed a jump more smoothly than a shot of JW Green
  20. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Duane "Niners are for tossers" Bosch - I am astounded. Wait - can you even reach the pedals?
  21. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    yuuuuuuuuuuup! Apparently, anyway.
  22. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Shocking after-sales service, parts irregularities etc etc. HECTIC spares costs. But if you're buying new / demo, that's their problem. And I know how you can drop a bomb on ppl for service Cat - meet pigeons.
  23. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Yeah. LOL. TBH dude... I'm thinking of our previous convos on the subject. Ford, ford or ford. EPIC truck. Reasonable consumption. And strong as feck. Plus you can carry stuff from the lumberyard and / or builders whorehouse in the back... without removing all the seats and the centre console.
  24. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    Mark may or may not tell you the same thing...
  25. Captain Fastbastard Mayhem
    WHAAAAT! Tell me that ain't the niner version...
