Come on now, be nice. :$

That traffic cone looks quite nice. I wish I had asked for a shot when I had the chance.

My flat caps in too....in the bin.

I take it you mean the parts will be different? But the Paint job will be the same? IMO they just look cheap. Im glad the paint jobs arnt final. Ive always loved ashtons, the shape, the way they ride, the seat, the colours/decals. I feel like ive been let down.

More like that cap he was wearing was a bit of a statement! OOOH AARRR N ME COMBEIN HARVESTERS.

I dont remember Mart saying that at T n the P!! Mind you im surprised im still here after that weekend. Ha ha. So there will be a Rowan geo with the same geo as an echo pure 04 for street? lol A Ben Savage geo with the same geo as a long ZHI thing for comps? And martyns will be the same geo as the old black/red frames for erm shows I suppose?

3 different geos for 26? As in a geo for you Rowan, one for Ben Savage and one for Martyn? Or 3 geos that you have then you will decide on one define geo for all team riders? So mocked up spray jobs eh? Now that we have seen them does that mean that they are set in stone?

You think so?

My take on comps is that they are fun...well the Fort bill ones ive riden anyway. I have fun because im pushing myself and trying to do better against my mates. Im competative and think its not a bad thing. Ive seen boys throw their bikes at comps and it makes for a bad feeling for sure. As for the skipping ques, f**k their dads, come ahead and skip me if you think your shite enough. As for having to ride the sections classed by age, how shite an idea is that!! if I had just started trials how the hell am I meant to ride the hard sections!!

Fair enough man, cheers.

You hear that Ben, Its me driving up to Abershite in ma black wagon playing acdc with a baseball bat with a nail hammered in the end ready to do some damage.

A couple of guys have been kind enough to post some pictures in other threads of light road bikes and half a naked woman with a face like a half chowed banana. No decent pics of trials bikes yet though. Gone are the days when guys would film the whole show and make a vid out of the captured action.

Hey man, I took the pads out last night in my mini and poured a whole kettles worth of boiling watter over the pads to give them a good clean them dried them with a bit of kitchen roll. I also pumped the lever so the pistons moved out because they were sticking. I knew they were sticking because I could hear them clicking as I pulled the lever, the lever got stiff before and braking force was applied then it clicked(when the pistons pushed them selves by the sticky bit then the brake bit. I personally use Dot fluid to lubricate my pistons as thats whats being used in the brake anyway. I wouldnt want wd40 somehow mixing with the fluid in my brakes if it ever met up in the caliper. Dont know if it would do anything but id rather not take the chance. I cleaned the disc with a blast of cold water and a clean cloth. I then pushed the pistons back in cleaned the caliper all up and slotted the pads back in. In the same sides as they came out.!! Disc works well now with no clicks and has a decent bite. hope that helps.

f**k the Continental girl wheres the Ashton Bikes pics? Please tell me out of all the folk who went to the cycle show off of here someone took a few pictures of some proto trials bikes??? jees worst coverage ever!!

Moujava, township funk. Chase and status, smash tv

I was thinking of the worlds n shit. Ok a wee comp in the uk might be fine but imagine trying to do some of the stuff on concrete pipes and other things set up to stop the likes of benito.... Anyway im not trying to start anything. The vids blown me away and all im saying is its not really the way forward for comps imo the way things are going atm.

As amazing as it is. Could it ever be used in a comp style situation...I think not.

I disagree those jump bikes better not be the same as the trials frames! Although i do agree that they should be made public on here!

You effin dweeb, i really wanna see them!!! When will there be pics going about? Ashtons take on things

f**kING SHEX WEE. whats the gearing on his steed? Ha ha Jonny, strath and rab how much did half of those crashes remind you of me on on that big concrete blocks thing down in Anderson? lol

Cheers buddy. I really do preffer bashing around street on my 24 so thats why there wasnt much 26 in there. Aye, i've been looking round for some decent gaps to front, finding either gaps just out my reach or gaps not worthy of a vid so thats why there wasnt much in there. I tried to vary the vid as much as I could but always found myself doing another skinny. Im always on the quest to find half decent lines for a vid so im sure ill have plenty of gaps to front when I improve a little more. Cheers.

No pictures of nice shiny new trials bikes? Ashtons maybe?

So how did it go? any pictures or what??

Thanks man, the side hop from the rails onto the wall was part of line with the clip after it from the wall to the black bin....incase you didnt know I was quite happy with that one. Plus those bike railings are huge, well bigger than normal, thats why I look so small on them. I know I know its not the muckers way but i couldnt be arsed filming the whole line again, plus the battery was dying so had to just get the line done quick style. KARMA?? Bloody Karma. I laughed all day at Jonny falling with his gaps when his back wheel went higher than his front and took some mazin nose dives into the cold hard concrete! Then what do I go and do? Yes, fall on my gouch off a rounded rail!! AAAAUUUUWWWW!! Cheers for the comments people keep them comming.
