  1. Used to have this problem all the time. You can do one of two things - 1. Buy a decent freewheel (Tensile, Try-All, ENO...) or 2. Get a small allen key (I'd say a maximum of 3mm) and 'situate' yourself on the left hand side of your bike. Turn the crank arm round (anti-clockwise) untill you can see a little pit/hole/round nobbely dip thing. Stick the thin allen key in that hole, then keep turning the crank arm with the allen key in the same place until it gets stiff. If that doesn't make alot of sence add me on msn, I'll take some pictures and show you.
  2. Quite right!! Thats the reasoning behind this category and this category on tarty

    Cls........

    I managed to download a whole 11 seconds of that before it buggered up. I realize about 5 other people have said this before me but, someone please upload it onto youtube or summat!? Edit: Tried again this morning, and it worked! Took a while but it was worth it. is this the end of an era? Or... maybe not?
  4. Get some grips before you get a new wheel! If i was you, I'd get the black rim with a red hub (I'd get black spokes aswell) and spray your frame man! Unless your a particulaly big fan of grey bikes with lots of different colour stickers 'n' stuff, spray it!! Black maybe to go with most of the parts and the new wheels? Just an idea anyway
  5. Yep, it doesn't want to work for me either. Maybe our computers just have AIDs? Edit: Yay! Just watched the youtube one, well done that man (emo_omen)! Not forgetting Beau aswell. A couple of nice moves in there man. Makes me want bigger wheels.
  6. If I could sidehop and gap like that, I would make it repitive aswell! Pritty good stuff there chaps
  7. I'm sponsored by 'Beaver84' I think they make/supply builders with scaffolding. I saw these little signs on that sorta scaffolding fence stuff. Then decided to pull a couple off because they say Beaver, and i I am very easily amused. Sooo I'm sponsored by Beaver84. They just don't know yet. [attachmentid=7673]
  8. I'd just like to say... [attachmentid=7664]
  9. If your keeping a smooth rim, do the sensible thing and use Zoo! pads!! They are the nuts provided you don't get 'em wet. At £13 a pair from 'trialsman' you can't really go wrong. Unless you like riding in the sea Cheears
  10. Well I beat you by 467.1ft when I was in Paris the other day. Actually thinking about it... I've probably only done about 5ft, which is embarrisingly weedy. I'll test myself this weekend and get back to you guyths
  11. You make me laugh. DMR V8's have no grip? The tires look bold? I have got to congratulate you though because I think that is the first post of yours where you've actually used punctuation. Or did I see a full stop in that post where you said you ride a Zona Zip? That looks suspiciously like a hardcore to me. Edit: Sorry that was just a bit off topic, but I really couldn't help myself. Soooo..... The T-lite looks sweet, my fave bits are the forks and cranks. You've done well there. What disk is that? Cheers
  12. Everytime i see my t-mag I have the urge to cut in half, steel a lorry and run the bastad thing over so no one will ever have to use it again, ever. It really is that bad. Edit: Can't spell
  13. Basically... Freehub = Better engagement
  14. Bolly-hocks! I telephoned the police, more affectionatly known as the pigs, and they told me that they were considering a law change but even if they decided towards the idea, the law couldn't change for another 4 years. Some complicated leagal rule means they have to wait 4 years before they can pass a new law. All this crap about 1991+ is... well - crap.

    Ordered my Zoo! pads on thursday morning... got them friday morning! BaRgAiN!
  16. I'm hard, so naturally I don't need gloves. I just hide in corners and cry when no one is looking, because my calices hurt so much. On a serious note, I really don't think gloves help. As long as you ride regularly, your calices just harden so it doesn't really hurt at all. You'd be better off saving yourself twenty odd quid and getting some foam grips from halfords!
  17. I've got to agree with ash. The riding was pritty damn impressive and it was different. I was like bmx, trials and street jumps or something... I don't know but i liked it. Especially the bloke going down/round that ramp with the bike on its side, then getting up onto it. I think I liked it because it actually looked like they were having a really good time rather than just serious riding.
  18. SWEENEY! What are you on about?! T-Pro's are good starter bikes to be fair, but they come with Onza Orbita crank arms with an integrated uci bash. Which are fine! Granted there not really anything special, but they never ever brake etc. There just a bit naff. And last but not least - THEY ALREADY HAVE FREEWHEELS ON THE FRONT! At least have a quick glance at the onza website or something before you start slagging off parts! Plonka! Anyway, I wouldn't go for a 'Mad 2.zero' simply because you'd probably be able to do more on a magna (£40 from any crap toy shop). The geo is crap, the parts are crap... I think that bike is the reason more people don't do trials. The go out and buy the cheapest bike they can find, the bike rides sh*t so they give up. If I was you, I'd try and find some cheap second hand bits on the For sale/Wanted section, talk to the sellers on msn and build a bike up! If your too stupid to build one (when I started I was too) then try and get a full second hand bike. From the For Sale/Wanted section or good ol' ebay! Sorry for the essay! Edit: I need to learn to spell
  19. Sweeney the booster will be 'like' any other booster you plank!
  20. Cheers! I did see that, (not just a pretty face) but cls's is 1035 with Echo Lite forks etc. so I just didn't know! I'll defiantly be buying one (of you!) in the near future!!
  21. Hahaha! They managed to make it look stupid with those flashing lights that served no purpose. Quite allot of dodgy camera angles as well.
  22. Balls! I fell asleep in the 'tour of downing street' and I only just woke up. God, Tony Blair buggers it up again. But problem solved - CBBC channel at 6.30.... 14 minutes to go....
  23. I love it too. Would love it even more if I knew for sure what the wheelbase is But even if I never know, I'll still get one 'cos I'm in luuuuurve! (with it)
