my mate 'hogg' has the blue rock pads, n they work really good-great bite, sticks, loud squeak, lots of pad(8.5mm i think) last a long time with a grind. i want to get some but they are not in stock

he was reffering to the coust (or however you spell it) thing, it's a fake but pete said he sold it but didn't due to the buyer not having enough '£$€dish dosh£$€' too.

i recently snapped a bottom brackett (a month or so back) and the new bottom bracket i bought made the threads go a tiny bit cross threaded so the bb wouldn't screw in properly. i then got it tapped (re-threaded/cleaned up) and the new bb went in fine........but it comes loose pretty much every few days , i have took it out and cleaned any shit inside and put some blue loctite (don't worry it is ment for it, it aint the wrong stuff) and it has still been coming loose-this is really starting to annoy me! whilst riding from home 2 walls in town it creaks/tings, you can feel the cranks move a slight bit every now and then, the crank arm on the driveside also got damaged due to the snappage, have a look at the pics to see if the cranks could be contributing to any of this, there are a few pics of the bb and the damaged cranks; http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....c=85512&hl= i will put a bit more loctite in tonight (it's only half strength designed for dissasembly) because i didn't put too much in the other day, if you have any other things which you may think is the problem etc, and how to mend it i will be most greatful cheers ben beckett.

lol, he has way too many posts to search through, i think i tried the search thing a while ago but couldn't find it i'll have another go though.

i love my magura with zoo!pads on the front, they work so well in the dry, i haven't ever had a disc brake on the front, i want to get one cus they work in the wet. i have just a disc rotor on the front cus i feel cool with it on their.lol, i haven't ever smacked it though and my front wheel has come short on a few sidehops.

totally worth the download!!! i hope i'm as good as that when i have been riding for '15 years on and off'! lol, there was a topic of him doing some 10ft drops or soming, it has piccys n a few vids.... has anybody got that link please. tar,

isn't zoo/echo/GU etc all from the same guy? it may be that the echo products aren't selling too well so deng (the owner i believe) has asked mr scott to ride a control-with neil on a zoo, damon watson on a gu/adamant-(a while back though) and and craig on the echo i ain't to sure though unless i hear the facts of CLS.

my mate has an echo thing from tarty i think (it's a cheapish one...£15 odd) and it's good, makes his t-rex rear end a lot stiffer. i am just about to try a carbon fibre one, so ill tell you in a while when i have tested it what i think of it.

cheers guys, i really want the rock pads, so does anywhere other than tarty sell them. they are £18, i must have pressed the wrong button. thanks

tartybikes don't hace them in stock, so i was wondering which places sell these brake pads, i want them for £17 like tarty. thankyou for any help cheers

make sure when you design each building you don't forget to design loads of walls out the front of it so we can also ride them one day i work as an apprentice, doing all sorts from welding-fabrication-sparky(electrics)-chippy(carpentry)-plumbing etc etc. tis rather a good job and i love it! i get shit loads of money so i can feed my addiction (trials, not drugs) one gay thing bout work is in the winter i don't get to ride in the light during the week .

:thumbsup: enjoy the forum buddy.

i just finished year 11 now, i didn't find the work stressful or anything, because it is all planned by the examining board, so there is plenty of time to get all the coursework done. i just done the usuall and pissed about in all the lessons, and dropped history because i was a too big of a distraction to the 3 different classes i was moved to. i got some half decent grades and now have an amazing job with a great future for me , http://jsfraser.com/ my grades are; R.S ------>B ICT---------->C MATH------->C SCIENCE DOUBLE AWARD---->C,C ENGLISH------->D GEOGRATHY------->D DESIGN AND TECHNOLOGY (resistant materials)------->C GERMAN------->E (didn't do ANY coursework etc, and sent outand SSD'd every lesson for going on about the gas chambers) all the teachers (except a few that i got on with) thought i was going to be a f**k up and have a 'dead end' life, how wrong they are! just don't panic about school too much, enjoy the last few months you are still there because they will be gone before you know it!

http://www.chrisking.com/ he is real he is the guy who made ck. it's on the site how he managed it Chris King, founder of King Cycle Group, got his machining experience working in the precise and demanding world of medical equipment manufacturing. He designed the original Chris King Headset in 1976 in his spare time and was immediately faced with staggering local and regional demand. In 1977, Chris started King Manufacturing, a contract machine shop jobbing to the medical, microwave, cryogenic, and aerospace industries. During these years, Chris gained valuable business experience while honing his manufacturing, CNC machining, job planning and tool design skills. Headset production continued during these years, seeding the regional and national market and developing a strong yet quiet reputation as one of the most exclusive and elite bicycle components available. However, due to the time requirements of other contracted jobs, headset sales never represented more than 10% of the business. In 1987 Chris sold King Manufacturing to Medical Concepts Inc. (MCI - now known as Karl Storz Imaging), a medical video imaging development and manufacturing company where he spent the next 4 years as the Manufacturing Department Manager. During this time, MCI developed a program combining world class management and manufacturing techniques to become a 30-million-dollar-a-year leader in its industry. Chris was later able to utilize many of these concepts while developing his new company, King Cycle Group, which he started during his tenure at MCI to continue production of the Chris King Headset. Through the years, the strong but quiet reputation grew into a 'cult' following of road racing cyclists across the country. These convinced customers then became evangelists of the Chris King Headset in the late 80's as the rapidly growing mountain bike market demanded components that could withstand the harsh punishment of off-road riding. The word was spreading and the demand for Chris King's headsets was growing at a rapid rate. By 1991, the demand for Chris King's components had increased to a level requiring Chris' full time attention. Sales orders had significantly exceeded production and back order lead times were growing to unacceptable lengths. Chris left MCI and committed 100% to his new venture, King Cycle Group. By combining his manufacturing and design talents with the World Class Management skills learned at MCI, Chris quickly caught up with back orders and was soon on his way. Sales doubled during the following years and he never looked back. Once settled into a groove, producing headsets at a satisfying rate, King Cycle Group turned their efforts to developing new products. In 1993, we started work on three new products. The design objective was to be ground breaking and unique while still upholding a reputation as the best. During the course of this development work, patents were applied for, and granted. As the demand for King Products continued to increase, it seemed less and less likely that Santa Barbara would be the final home of King Cycle Group. High real estate prices and costs of living made it difficult for King employees to live and work there. More and more often, King employees would drive through 2 hours of heavy southern California traffic to get to work each day. Enough was enough. The search for a new home began.

A woman and her son were taking a cab in New York City. It was raining and all the hookers were standing under the awnings. "Mommy," said the little boy, "what are all those ladies doing?" "They're waiting for their husbands to get off of work," she replied. The cabbie turns around and says, "Geez lady, why don't you tell him the truth? Their hookers. They have sex with men for money." The little boy's eyes get wide and he says, "Is that true, mommy?" His mother, glaring at the cabbie, answers in the affirmative. After a few minutes, the kid asks, "Mommy what happens to the babies those ladies have?" "They mostly become cab drivers," she replied. There was this little boy about 12 years old walking down the sidewalk dragging a flattened frog on a string behind him. He came up to the doorstep of a house of ill repute and knocked on the door. When the Madam answered it, she saw the little boy and asked what he wanted. He said, "I want to have sex with one of the women inside. I have the money to buy it, and I'm not leaving until I get it." The Madam figured, why not, so she told him to come in. Once in, she told him to pick any of the girls he liked. He asked, "Do any of the girls have any diseases?" Of course the Madam said no. He said, "I heard all the men talking about having to get shots after making love with Amber. THAT'S the girl I want." Since the little boy was so adamant and had the money to pay for it, the Madam told him to go to the first room on the right. He headed down the hall dragging the squashed frog behind him. Ten minutes later he came back, still dragging the frog, paid the Madam, and headed out the door. The Madam stopped him and asked, "Why did you pick the only girl in the place with a disease, instead of one of the others?" He said, "Well, if you must know, tonight when I get home, my parents are going out to a restaurant for dinner, leaving me at home with a baby-sitter. After they leave, my baby-sitter will have sex with me because she just happens to be very fond of cute little boys. She will then get the disease that I just caught. When Mom and Dad get back, Dad will take the baby-sitter home. On the way, he'll jump the baby-sitter's bones, and he'll catch the disease. Then when Dad gets home from the baby-sitters, he and Mom will go to bed and have sex, and Mom will catch it. In the morning when Dad goes to work, the Milkman will deliver the milk, have a quickie with Mom and catch the disease, and HE'S the son-of-a-bitch who ran over my FROG!"

The Nun teaching Sunday school was speaking to her class one Sunday Morning and she asked the question, "When you die and go to Heaven "Which part of your body goes first?" Suzie raised her hand and said, "I think it's your hands." "Why do you think it's your hands, Suzie? " Suzie replied:"Because when you pray, you hold your hands together in front of you and God just takes your hands first!" "What a wonderful answer!" the Nun said. Little Johnny raised his hand and said, "Sister, I think it's your legs." The Nun looked at him with the strangest look on her face. "Now, Little Johnny, why do you think it would be your legs?" Little Johnny said, "Well, I walked into Mommy and Daddy's bedroom the other night, Mommy had her legs straight up in the air and she was saying, 'Oh God, I'm coming!' If Dad hadn't had her pinned down, we'd have lost her." A man walked into a bar one day and spotted a large jar of money sitting on the counter. After sitting at the bar for about an hour and getting thoroughly drunk the man asked the bartender why the large jar of money was placed there. The bartender said that he would give the jar of money to any one who would do three favors for him. He pointed to a large fellow seated at the end of the bar and said, "Do you see that guy sitting over there. First I want you to go over and kick his ass, and then throw him out of my bar because he won't pay his bill. Second, I want you to go in the back room and pull my German Shepard's sore tooth. It has been hurting him so bad that no one can even get near him. The last thing I want you to do is to go into the back room and have sex with my fat sister. She can't get laid by anyone." So the guy walked over to the guy sitting at the end of the bar and thoroughly kicked his ass and threw him out of the bar. Then he went into the back to deal with the dog. The bartender heard screams and the dog barking. He began to get worried until he saw the man return. "Okay, said the man, "now where's that fat sister with the sore tooth?" A mum and dad take their boy to a nude beach, when they get there the dad walks off the mum sunbathes and the boy goes to swim in the sea, after a few minutes the boy goes running up to his mum saying "mummy mummy i saw two men with bigger willies then daddy" and the mum says "well the bigger they are the dumber they are" so the boy says "oh okay" and goes back to play in the sea. the boy then comes back a few minutes later saying "mummy mummy i saw two women with bigger boobies than you" and the mum says " the bigger they are the dumber they are" and the boy replies "oh okay" and goes back to play in the sea. the boy then comes running back to his mom a few minuets later saying "mummy mummy i saw daddy talking to the dumbest women on the earth and the more and more he talked the dumber and dumber he got" lmfaon, enjoy!

for charity (children in need thing)

nice say i was immature li!! lmaon

it's just at the start you said you want sympathy, but it was because of your actions the bike was knicked, this could have been avoided if you looked after the bike (locking it up) so you don't deserve sympathy imo. i do apologies if you felt it was too harsh

how was i being a cock????

was the bicycle locked? if so then gutted, if not then it's YOUR fault and i won't give you any sympathy.
