[My Dream Bike 15" ! (new carbon Boosters)]

How can you run those cranks without them hitting the chain stays let alone the Magura Slaves? With my GU the only cranks that I can run are the ECHO ones as they have enough offset.

By the looks of the marks on the back of the crank, with difficulty...

[Trials in Caernarfon?]

Half an hour away from Lake Ogwen which i've ridden and is pretty good, no idea about what else is up there though. Dave Kerr would be your man I'd expect.

[Post a pic of your non trials bike]

Not sure if it'll help (I suspect your best bet is to just give it a shot) but I have no mobile internet at home at all and it manages to track me pretty reliably. I use a Garmin watch now but used to run the Strava app on both iOS and Android with reasonably accurate results. Used to save the ride/run when I got home to a wifi connection

Same, pretty much everywhere I ride (Dartmoor, Quantocks etc) has no internet at all, then will upload once i'm in the car back into civilization.

[biggest innovation in trials?]

The internet.

[hi all joined :)]

I'm 5,11 and male.

Oh sorry, didn't notice the thread hijack

[Best looking mod?]

About a grand, new? Doesn't look to have anything particularly special on it.

[Road Trip 09 Full Video?]

Nah it wasn't.

[hi all joined :)]

How tall are you? If you are on the smaller side a 20" (AKA a mod) might fit a bit better and be easier to handle.

https://www.facebook.com/trialsqueensmight be worth asking there too as they should be able to give more women-specific advice.

Will that exposed bearing go rusty or is it ok?

[monty M5 & Chris king]

The M5 is another non standard size, 105mm.

Was that intentional or was that just how they ended up?

[Pro riders stats?]

Such a badass vid.

[The Happy Thread]

SJ4000 purchased, now to sneak it into the house without the wife knowing....

Where you gonna set it up? From the pan looking up at her anus or as a general toilet overview?

[Neck pain?]

I get a feeling in my shoulder like i'm being stung by a wasp about 3 times a year, real sharp shooting pain. Pretty sure thats a trapped nerve somewhere, and put it down to having all my muscle ontop of my shoulder and non beneath (from trials). I also landed backwards onto a rock a few years ago and smashed my helmet to bits, and gave myself whiplash. Chiropractor said I have scar tissue where it should be muscle and that limits my head turning ability and my neck aches after a few mins looking down at a keyboard or whatever. I also fell off my mtb and landed on my arm which pulled it right around my front and stretched the muscle in my back / shoulder blade. That was 3 weeks ago and still hurts when I move my arm in a certain way or move my neck. A friend had what felt like back pain but was actually a trapped nerve in his arse / thigh zone.

When I started typing I think I had a point to make but I've forgotten what that was. Sorry.

[Stock frames, 20 - 50mm bb height?]

Gonna be a case of looking through my broken frame collection and seeing which is the least snapped.

[Stock frames, 20 - 50mm bb height?]

It is such bollocks that you pretty much have to buy an 'old' frame if you want a decent bike nowadays.

Ruuudeee... Best vid I;ve watched so far this year for me! Standout was the hook to slat gap to bench thing. Badman

this, just becausee we have both been off bikes for 4+ years and now after 3-4 weeks we are back up to scratch, which is a great feeling

Good to see the council have given up with that civic centre concrete planter haha. Good riding!

[Chilli Eaters? - HELP?!]

2 minutes is quite a long time in this context. I will pray for you.

[My front brake is crappy - loads of bite not as much hold]

Worth a try with some new pads... I liked LGMs but in the past I've found when pads get to around half worn they sometimes go a lil shitty. Worth trying a light grind as Adam said too, as they work well with a light, sharp grind. If non of these work then looks like it's time to sell up and quit the game.

EDIT: I use Cousts currently (from Michael Cushionstealer direct, if that makes any difference) on the rear.

[Best Platform Pedals?]

I've been using Wellgo copies for years (a lot actually have wellgo stamped onto them) and all have been fine.

[View From The Office]

Come again?

Is that in Devon. If so, whereabouts?

[View From The Office]

Here's mine.

That in deb'n?

[The Angry Thread.]

Wo, someone needs to get out of the south east

[Well I never saw this one!]

Could be one of them American volvo cannondale riders? Lance Trappe?

[Echo Press fit BB bearing - Where to buy]

Hello all,

I run an Echo SL frame with a pressfit bb, and it seems tarty no longer stock these. Any ideas what size they are? The ones I bought from there before were Fly bikes (I think?) but can't be sure.

Seems no one sells anything for frames with less than +60bb these days, which is a shame.
