Why is that, because you don't have Flash? It's not just the intro that's
the problem - although you should be able to skip it - it's that the entire
site is in Flash (and it's not very well done).

Jesus H Tap-dancing Christ! I find it hard to believe that someone (earlier) in this thread actually reffered to ME being catty!

Well thank you ALL so much for the constructive critisism here on this (that's right... it really is meant to be a) CYCLING forum. I've enjoyed my three minutes here immensly, but I think I might go hang around a web design forum instead... the people might have more manners AND I might get to talk bikes more.

incidentally Grip
when I tried to download your pdf catalogue I got a:
The requested URL /pubs/uploaded_pubs/4318839Grip Catalogue coming.PDF was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

i was interested in your tow-bar carrier as looks like it attaches on the bottom bracket of the bike without crushing my expensive carbon tubes I presume that it won't crush my bottom bracket or cranks) A close-up of the attachment method and a larger view of the rack itself would be helpful.

Don't mind DRS, we usually keep him in the cellar with deranged cousin Ruprecht, and forgot this time to tell him to be nice to the visitors, and not bite the heads off kittens, and stuff like that. Sorry.

As for the winged Orangeman, I'm sure we can find a suitable punishment for his unmannerly surliness. He's not usually like this. Force him to ride a Surly for a week or two, maybe?

P.S. I didn't know Roman Palestinians invented the tapdance. You lean something new every day

hey. back off fella!

Flash is way too un-replaceable for doing software demo's or games.

Personally i think you would all be far better off un-installing Powerpoint!!!!
The single biggest killer of the English language!$@$###!!$!!!!!

Why use syntax when you can paraphrase in bullet points?
Or cram War-n-peace onto the one page
Or make everything move/transition??
Or use diagrams complex enough to make even Barry 'pik-a-box' whince
Or, Or, Or ... step away from the keyboard

Agree with you (cf. Don Watson - "Weasel Words" entry on it) about powerpoint, or as a hippie friend of mine calls it, 'powertrip'

but

design is evolutionary

enough of the hedgetrimmers on the bike component-designer poppies of more than median height, already (and their web designers). So come on, X- 'berts', offer to do the job better yourselves.

Yeah, my bad on that one. It doesn't change the fact that the design is
fundamentally awful.

It's called thread drift. You're welcome to try to stop it any time you
like, King Canute.

What bad manners? You really need to get out more.

heres a friendly tip; file and folder names should always be alphanumerical and characters '-' and '.'

putting spaces and other special characters in the file and folder names just upsets software and people =)
i've beem waging a war at work to get folks not to put the charactere & and $ into folder names,
as it upsets out back software =(

also do the repair stands have holes on the base to bolt to the floor?

cheers,

Kim
