The money provisionally goes in, you withdraw it and hand over the 4000 to the shipping company. The original transfer is then refused by the issuing bank, and your left 4000 quid in the red without any comeback or help.

pah, call that a handbag? THIS is a handbag.....

Why address something personal to someone, then tell the entire world?

Assuming i can get a lift, i'll be there

Yeah but in the scheme of things, it IS a little sticky out bit that not many people know about

Bollocks, the black coating is an oxide layer which you would be pushed to measure with a "tenths" micrometer.

Fine untill the chain whip shits the bed and flies across the workshop in two pieces

Thats doing them a great dis-service, Craig was YMSA champion at one point.

The day that works better than a sharp set of mole grips i will eat my hat

Me. With the Monty splitters, if you just need to bleed the brake to get air out of the lever then either side will do. If its a complete oil change then empty it completely, bleed one side first, then the other.

Or £3 for a new one

Chuck a bit of wd40 on it and leave it overnight, they try again. A few light taps on the top with a hammer might loosen it up a bit too

This one looked like it had been ridden for less than a day before three months ago

yes please

something along those kind of lines?

Its pretty difficult for muck to get into a king, particularly big bits which would have to pass 2 bearing shields and a seal.

A mod pretty much has to have bb rise, it would be a bit of a dog to ride with a level bb, the ground clearance would be shocking too.

Vinco's have been around ages with really high BB's, the DBR tibo was +something, i know the planet x tibo was +20, the old megamo radicals were +30, its not such a new idea really.

Much oil? Everything leaks a little bit, its when its pissing past the seal and emptying the brake you have to worry

Henri Lloyd make decent foul weather gear, usually for yachtsmen and that kind of thing. They also make a lot of overpriced tat but im sure you wouldnt buy that and look like another daft sheep to the slaughter would you

Ah Henri Lloyd, your a yachtsman then?.....

The idea that people should be sponsored because theyre good is a bit odd to me. I understand what the company gets out of it but personally I'd much rather get to wherever im going without any help. Trials bikes arent *that* expensive and the running costs are about bugger all, but i suppose some support is helpful if your casing a rear rim each month Big money sponsorship is still the same, very few people (and thats still only men like Ashton and the koxx, echo and monty teams) can say they have full factory support rather than a bike shop giving them free bits.

You been at the jelly babies again james?

The king cogs have a nice wide base so damage like that doesnt affect them too much. You might have to go round the freehub body with a file and clean it up to get the cog on though.

Tie it back, your riding a silly little bike and wearing a plastic hat, you cant make yourself look much sillier anyway
