  1. Recently moved up to 24" (from mod). Got a Zoot - and am in no way regretting it. After two rides, I can gap a foot further than on mod, and just feel much more at home on it. Went for it as stocks feel too big for me, and I was crunched up on a mod. Without wanting to sound like a wannabe innovator - I hope Deng doesn't make 24's... He's already got [pretty much] a monopoly on the trials market (by which, I mean - he must take around half/two thirds of the custom, atleast?) Not saying this is a bad thing, they're very good frames - but I think it'd do the scene a lot of good if Deng doesn't own trials GOOOO ANTI-DENG!
  2. Contrary to popular response - I say cable. Got a vee (Avid SD7) on the rear and cable disk (Avid BB7) on the front. As odd as it may sound - hydraulics'll work out cheaper. They are good - really good - if you set them up well, but this isn't as easy to do as it sounds. Also - hydraulics can freeze/pop. For a decent set of cables - it might cost you more, but I much prefer them. It's mostly down to personal preference.

    Tendonitis?

    Do you want to ride in pain, for only a month - or be able to ride comfortably, for the rest of your life?
  4. Wasn't there a topic, very similar to this, very recentley? Someone suggested the TA26 as a strong option. Edit: Too slooooooow

    Redline V-l

    Aaaaye, that's pretty bonkers.
  6. Read the posts above, and you'll find several people have just told him what his problem is likely to be. I think that means it's something to do with your grips being in the wrong position
  7. Rather nice, but a bit plain... Didn't fancy a new rear tyre, too? Sidewalls look pretty fecked. Also - add me to MSN please, need some info about that email you sent me. I know you're off work - but I'm at work whenever you are, so I can't help that EDIT: flipp@flowflys.co.uk
  8. Too right.... Who'd have a HA like that?!
  9. Aim to have a mini-one of them soon Looks lovely. Glad people are catching onto vees being better. Hahaha.
  10. Makita drill-driver (I'm a cabinet maker). Needs replacing - DeWalt one's gone up the creek. Probably a couple bags of sweets/chocolates too I'm not taking a dig Sadle Sore - but why won't you just get the message? It's not doing anyone any favours... especially you. Even taking the non-English speaking members of the forum out of the equation (whom are the main factor) - the people on here who are annoyed by text-talk, like myself, will only get annoyed at you. It'll do you no harm to put a little more effort into typing, and save you a hell of a lot of hastle. Already - you've spent MUCH more effort in bristling up and being stubborn, than it would've taken just to amend your original post.
  11. HATE the kink in the toptube to be honest.
  12. Try some flat-landing Always wanted to see someone try it on a trials frame. If not, just find another style of riding you like (eg, downhill) and try and add some of the elements into TGS riding. Flying downhill off a ramp to rolling-gap a rail? Hahaha. Worth a shot - but maybe not with downhill riding...
  13. I don't know about the pictures, but please get it sorted - I've got a lever in my shed with the same problem, which I may aswell put to good use at some point or other... Is it stable? I mean.... really stable? EDIT: Pictures work now... I was thinking of doing the same thing, but didn't think it'd be stable enough. Nice one mate

    Rear Disks

    ...Or just set the brake up so that you don't have the speed dial all the way out?
  15. Inspired. Think Ciguanna have one?
  16. Select one box from each section. Write your response in here though - else we won't be able to see if there's a trend between dress/study, and riding style. If you don't write - we'll only know which is most popular. For me: Shorts and a shirt - I'm a cabinet maker - and I guess I'm just bouncy trials at the minute... Not good enough to follow anything more difficult yet
  17. For riding, I just try and do what I'm trying to do - in any way I can get up it possible (I'm quite bad a t riding :$) Tends to involve rolling-gaps though. All year round comfort: baggy tee (black, tan green), giro havoc, 3/4s... thought they were shorts when I bought them - but I've been converted Wear them mainly because my jeans feel very generous, and tend to notice my freewheel's lookin' hungry. Someone should start a multi-choice poll, to see if - I'll do it.
  18. Any of you that lurk - I don't - so I'm not breaking rules 1&2. (I know by saying that, I am - but I don't care to be honest) My best friend is an oldfag though - so I hear/see about lots of it. 4Chan's a forum, but doesn't have a main subject (like TF). It's like a Chit-Chat - but huge. So much so - they have sections for each part. Much of the forum is Ok, apart from the "Random" section - which is like a Chit-Chat, inside a Chit-Chat. This is /b/. A great deal of it is illegal, and the rest of it is disgusting (in my opinion). Any of you that are intrigued, search away - but I'd advise not to get into it. I don't want to say any more, lest people start disliking me. If any /b/tards on here don't like this post - PM me, and I'll edit it down. After all - I don't have any hacker-proof curtains...
  19. Just found this thread - never come in Chit-Chat too often. Only knew of him through the forum - but still hits home like a mace. Thanks to whichever of the admins actually set up this forum, and the mods for keeping the place so tight-knit, and well run. Not many places can have people who never knew the chap, so seriously touched by his passing. I'll more than happily donate towards the mini, if it's needed. P.S. I don't want to go off topic, but why is DJ's logo a bunny? I wasn't here at the time.
  20. Here I am - being a "mega bum". Nice video. That what you wanted? (He told me to comment )
  21. Just HAD to say... I lolled 'till I fell off my chair
