    Mpg!

    Engine: Petrol Size: 1.0 Model: vauxhall corsa C Driving Conditions: City(mostly) +Country Combined MPG: about 36 I think Rated MPG (manufacture) : 47 (i think) Comments: It gets pretty raped to be honest, due to its savagly low power, it requires a fair bit of revving pulling away/gaining speed afterwards. Im sure I could get it better but then Id be one of those people who sits at a junction until the road is COMPLETLY clear. Edit: Windows down sometimes.
  2. Left 6th form so I finished on like May 7th or somthing, Iv actually got fecking bored and started doing loads of overtime at work/got 2 jobs which is good Going back to college next year for motorsport engineering, then, fingers crossed Uni, fair few long summers to come for me I think
  3. Pshhh, under 1000. Being a stock man, I only really seem to like the barge like mods...

    Rear Tube

    When he says decent pressure he is blatantly lieing when he says 20psi, hes running a good 35 in there when I rode it. I run a Maxxis DH with between 20-25psi in it, still rim it ALOT but no punctures (touch wood)

    Gu

    Lol, there not. They virtually all died a crumpled and buckled death from anything remotly like bashing. Although I must say thats a mighty nice bike.
  6. They dont look bad, would be nice to know some geo.s though. Also that first stock pic has onza zoot dropouts...
  7. I have cages on mine. If I wasnt deathly poor I would buy some MG-1s though.
  8. Sitting and watching loads of WRC clips. Doing theory revision. filling in EMA/insurance forms then sleeping RAVE!
  9. Hmm, I hired a suit the other day for a party, got it full on caked in mud after running/falling/rolling round a croquet field having spent 60quid on sambuca. Place I got it from didnt say a thing. They made me sign an imprint of my debit card saying if the suit was ruined they can take £200 out of my account. I also paid £6 extra for insurance against stains and what not. If you signed nothing, I guess there is no obligation for you to pay it..

    Adamant A1

    Ignore max, hes so pickey... hes bought a boxx.... Anyways, I love it BB7s are nice. Id rather ride that than my bike
  11. Wow, first comment, will edit... EDIT: Fook Me. That was mental, sorta got used to everyone idolising damon. But I recon the bummers will return after watching that. Seriously good shit... scares me just watching it..
  12. I would say the simtra/trialtech setup sounds gooood. On a lower BB bike I really liked my onza pz31 or whatever it is stem, the 17degreex120mm one with some lower bars, i have onzas but wouldnt really recomend them
  13. In my experience, (having ridden both 24" and a streety stock) they are similar, good for streety stuff, not so great for pure trials, although its deffiantly not impossible, just not as easy as on a pure TGS type frame.

    Hitting Sound

    How about, you go, and try turning the crank around, and see if it hits the frame.... maybe... might be a good idea?
  15. I have to be honest, its not my cuppa tea. All ex. trials riders seem to run un fashionable jump bikes, not that thats bad the fashion in jump and street makes them seriously un versatile (which is bad) however I gotta say it doesnt half make them ride better for street n what not.
  16. No reason why you shouldnt, steve at heatsink did it, and ran an adaptor for a rim brake. to be honest though, I woulda said itd be more of a measure that youd take if you had the frame and bits lying around, if your buying new then Id save abit extra and get an inspired or similar with 24" specific geo.

    Wooden Bars

    i thought mosh did brake pads aswell, may be way off with that comment though.
  18. Hahahahahahhaha. E-Hi-5 rothwell on making him belive he had aids with that medical stuff.
  19. Had any drunken nights with any "close male friends" that you dont quite remember fully?
  20. Go to the doctors and ask for an aids test...
