hehe yeah im dumb

I'm a little confused... you said you used digital-crocus for hosting and 123reg for domain BUT did you not notice that firmsolutions has an unlimited bandwidth... whereas crocus' is limited? sam

Pads: HEATSINKS BATCH B Time used: Just under 2 months Rim used: Mavic D521 (the new ones... X721 or summit) Grind: Yes - very very harsh grind Ceraminc: Nope Brake used: Magura What is your opinion of a working brake: Solid as a rock, no slippage, only comes in about a cm or two How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Used to use magura blacks and tar, this was crap. Now i use heatsinks with no tar and it's awesome Review: Brilliant pads, nice and hard but still hold really really well. I've had no problems with them whatsoever apart from quite a quick wear rate (this is no major problen though since they are 10mm - also my harsh grind is a big factor in the wear rate!) Cheers, sam

What colour was your 03 base? I bet it was sexier than mine :- sam

It's not actually black - just taken in the dark.. its gunmetal grey (Y) The guy at the shop said that they were sent loadsa boxes from base with loads of frames and forks and components to be built up into base bikes - but the gunmetal colour was only supposed to be sold as a complete bike... However they were sent one frame too many and so they decided they'd sell it - so i got it. Anyone else smell bullshit? Still was a nice bike though :( san

Well here's a pic of my very first "proper" trials bike... Spec is: Base TA26 (the very first one) Pashley forks :( Azonic bar and stem old school shimano xt brakes a small(ish) childs seat with the padding removed... Alex "bombproof" wheel on a black unbranded hub (slipped like fook) Unbranded black front wheel ICON triple chainset bodged rear mech single speed outland pedals cheng shin front tyre maxxis rear :) :P :P :P Now i've shown you mine.. lets see yours! (or a quick spec if you want (Y)) Cheers, sam
