1) My non-driveside crank bolt keeps coming undone. Is this probably resolved by getting a new crank bolt? Or is it something to do with the fact that I'm currently running a driveside on there (Long story) How do I stop it coming loose? Any help much appriciated. Thanks And 2) I've come to something I want to get up - there's a little rock - then a big rock - spaced just far apart enough so that I can rest front wheel on the big one, and back wheel on the little one. The front wheel is about... a foot higher than the rear - any tips on how to get across? I can never seem to get enough power to get my back wheel onto it. Also - it's made awkward by a wall on the right hand side being very close in. Advice dearly wanted please You should all be able to tell me - your vids are amazing... Cheers, Flipp

I was so desperate to start trials after watching that CLS video to the Bullet for My Valentine music that i started on the bike I had in the shed... ie. this... [attachmentid=8640] Then - after learning backhops, pedal hops - and even being able to sidehop onto 3 pallets!! (That's amazing because it weighs 6 times as much as my current bike) ...after that - I figured I'd be able to justify speding money on a real bike, and got my T-Pro. I'm in love with it now - made it up from scratch - buying bits indiviually. (Hence the one raceline maggie - one silver '04) If only I could ride it now (Very wet outside) -Flipp

There's a ride today?! Poo What time and where? Might be able to come - might not.

6 months of riding... (things kept going wrong... like - broke my foot etc. couldn't ride at those points) Exploded a freewheel (£5 jobby off eBay) ...That's it Hopefully it'll stay that way - I don't get much in the way of money. Although non-trials; I just sheered my odyssey hub clean in half I was only rolling down a hill -Flipp

Not got it... Add me to MSN

I've got some if you want... PM me... or msn: flipp@flowflys.co.uk

Hahahaha.... Nice Of my experiance - Never had a grind on my own bike - but they are better than not having one. Don't intend to get one as they put my wheel to too much fear Grinds are better - but not for everyone I'd say. (Ontop of what all the others said)

Notice I said "got access to" - not just "got" Lol So destroying the tool's out of the question... And I'll most likely use that from onzakeiron if nothing easier comes up... Cheers Flipp

Right... switching to FFW - need to know the best/easiest way to get one of these old horrible freewheels off my hub. [attachmentid=7862] It's only got the two indents... and the only removal tool I've got access to has four prongs... Any suggestions/tips from experiance a welcome... Cheers Flipp

I'll ride if I can get a 15t skrew on sproket by then, else I can't. A grind off boumsong'd be nice beforehand aswell - but that might be asking a bit much for 3 days...

Not tried this myself, but... To fit V's to a four bolt frame, you need a special adaptor. You skrew it into the lower hole and it allows you to then put the V's onto the frame. ...Searching for link... Can't find any... but they look kinda like a block of metal, with a bolt through it. They're about £7 a pair... Will edit if I find some Flipp EDIT: LeedsTrials beat me to it Spent ages looking for a link so didney see it...

I like to eat rectangle biscuits dipped in hot salsa sauce... Try them - REALLY nice

...Waiting for people to bite... lol

Awesome! Very good riders, and even got a particular style to go with it... lol Some people are just... good - their riding has no character. Not like yours Loving the bunnyhop gap at 2:25 - best clip in the vid I think Well done you two You should be sponsored in my opinion Flipp

To help the healing process, make a cut where the break is - needs to be deep mind... And when it's bleeding like a good'n - tip some salt into it and massage... After 3 minutes of that - wash the salt out with the strongest alcohol you can find, then rinse with water. Dab it dry with steel wool, and then soak in vinegar for 15/20 minutes. Do this twice a day and it'll heal twice as fast this way Thehehehehehe!!! Nah - they say six weeks to make sure you don't get your hopes up, but they took the cast off my ankle after 4 saying "We never leave it on more than that really... only if it's completely mashed..." Drink milk - don't use it while it's broken - stop activities if it hurts - and when it's "officially" healed, ease back into the regieme (sp?), don't just blast it or it'll break again straight away I know how you feel, make some videos... kept me occupied for a good protion of the time Enjoy your time Flipp

Thankish everyone, will just get the £5 job... You've succesfully put me off slime I'll just run 'em a bit harder and ride smoother

Right... Just got another snakebite and decided it's high time for a new tube. I've done a search, and it's not here yet, but what about these? Linky Anyone tried them? And are they any good for trials? I know they more than probably won't hold out against a pinch - but there's a lot of thorns and glass around aswell... Either get one of these, or a normal tube with slime lining... Your help please Quick answers would be handy as I want to get riding soon... Cheers Flipp

Count me in Need some shirts... Would you be able to make them with a logo like, a bit more than half on the front, and then wrap around the side onto the back? Or does it not work like that? Anyway, the Frame... £230 Brakes... £120 Wheels... £200 You trying to find my seat... Priceless Seems awesome If you make them - I'll get one Got some more stuff... will talk sometime. Flipp

Not a rant - just an honest question: Where the HELL did he mention Onza? Heheheheheeeeeeeeee Flipp

A luxury some of us don't have... (This is a shout for any Loughborough/Leicestershire riders to give me a friend... flipp1@hotmail.co.uk) Flipp

You just gave yourself the answer Pull the bike up further towards you, if you don't go higher with it - you'll need to tuck... Unless you don't want children, you should put it to the side rather than the middle... It also allows for extra height (Instead of hitting the gooleys... the crook of your knee allows for more upwards movement... more space there... ) I can't get NEARLY that high so I'm not speaking from experiance... just logic. Flipp

Errrr... Firstly, he said "four ring" - not four arm. Secondly, I'm pretty sure it IS four arm. Four bolt is the normal teminolgy used concerning maguras, not chainrings... NB: I DID say I THINK Flipp

I ate a homeless guy because that's how I roll.... YAY!

Hmmmmmm.... Great riding I think . The first song (Voodoo People) is great, but I can't help but think it doesn't suit a trials video. Same with the second one (but I don't like that one either way ) So yeah; Great riding IN the video, but a poor video in itself... Sorry :$ (It's the music and camera that's not so good, otherwise it'd be great ) Flipp

I run 22:18. However, I've not been biking all that long - about 4 weeks in total (2 weeks before, and 2 weeks after I'd broken my ankle) At the minute - I'm getting about 22" high as my sidehop limit (vertical) About 2.5-3' (feet) across pedal kick (I call them lurches?), And pedal hoping (to me - lurch again ) up is about 12" I'm on a T-Pro incase you wanted to know I couldn't tell you what length my cranks are, I just bought them Can you say if these heights are about normal for my time? Bearing in mind I broke my right ankle and I'm right foot forward so I'm a bit weaker (still re-strengthening)... I'm a bit worried I'm falling behind , as I have no-one to bike with in my area, I can't compare. (Anyone around the Loughborough area, give me a shout on msn: flipp1@hotmail.co.uk) I'd say the ratio is very nice to ride, I love it... Go for it Any help? Flipp EDIT: 22t sproket is on cranks, 18t is rear freewheel.
