Andeee

So next month is 3 years since i got convicted of 4 points for driving within due care and attention. Just looked up the points are valid for 3 years but have to stay on my license for an extra year. Wow time flys.. Can't wait to have them off so i can step up and get a higher performance car.. Savings is building ;-)

Its true take Kenny Belaey for example. From what i heard he wanted to go to the gym to get stronger and to try help with his riding and within the years difference it seemed to of affected his performance alot in terms of lagging so basically he did not do as well in comps.

I have just gone from the change of a free hub (pro2) to a freewheel (echo sl) At first it was scary i nearly laid a stone of dog eggs when it tightened its self up whilst on the back wheel. So far it has a made difference in the weight of my bike. Its gonna take some getting use to after the years of running free hub. Tomorrow will be day 2 of riding with a free wheel. I still do miss my pro2. In fact if anything i wish hope would develop a freewheel that is based on the pro2 but in freewheel formation with a interchangeable splined sprocket. I found the centralisation of weight in a free wheel for control at first rather weird to ride. Most riders now seem to run free wheels. You get the odd few who run the free hub. In fact for the past 6 years of running a pro2 it has never skipped once on me. Seeing other riders using a freewheel and when it skips on them is quite scary as it makes me worry like today when i was riding and still getting use to freewheel. Will update tomorrow for another review.

I've found riding trials and mixing gym workouts just seems to mess things up.

Good get yourself there you dirty lil stop out

Barrow Farm/Radical bikes centre. Amazing place to ride. I went to radfest there this year possibly the best weekend of trials riding ever!.

EDIT: Due to the weather been pants tomorrow we are now having a session at our indoor spot. Meeting there for 11am. PM Me for post code Aaron and tom from Donny coming. Walker and nige from hull coming Chandler from google coming. More the merrier. Andy xxx

I'd say £300 and a cuddle. As it is going to cost you anywhere from £50 for a decent set of tyres as they are worn to sh*t!

At a push for that frame i would say a 130x25.. As that is the biggest geo stock suited stem out there although a lot of riders like myself and others run a 150x30 which is a mod specific but can be used for high b.b stocks too. What geo is your current stem at mo?

It was an 06.5 i too miss that frame! Heres a pic from when i had it. Rode amazing with this set up. I then got my hands on a 06 GU

I was actually looking forward to reading this and seeing pics of chandlers upgrade. To see the top post had been edited then someone put a meme generator.

I suffer with a bad wrist pain every so often mainly in my left even though i am right handed. I play drums, i do weight lifting, trials riding and xc riding. I had the similar side effects like you had any slight movement it just use to hurt so much in pain and it was fine in a normal position. I found wearing a wrist support and covering my wrist in a cream called voletral seemed to of helped it and to go steady by not riding or drumming or even lifting for a week or so.

Wow thanks all for the advice and contributions. I guess it may have to a week. Just need to speak with the dudes of when to go. To -G- and 315r. With you being locals over there whats it like from june-august for tourists etc? I could imagine it will be busy for school holidays etc. Also its great to see a returning favour from -G- after i did him a map of Hull

A week??!! Are you mad lol. When we did Radfest riding all day on the friday and saturday come sunday we was all aching and nackered lol. k-124 days would be pretty cool to go to aswell as dressler camp!

Me and some friends are thinking of visiting Barcelona for 2-3 nights to ride all the trials parks and amazing street etc for some time next year. It is something i have wanted to do for years to get the experience plus with me graduating university next year i kind of wanted to treat myself for it just as a pat on the back for me sen. But i don't graduate until June so its trying to go at the best time. After looking for flights n prices etc.. I found for April its from £150 per person in a 3 star hotel half board i think. For August it is £250 per person. I was just wondering if anyone has ever been at all? I know Jack Meek and his lot went earlier this year which looked cool. I'm just looking for peoples advice and there suggestion etc. I can imagine July-August is peak times so it will be busy and of course the price is higher by a slight bit. Also a map for where all the spots are and trials parks if anyone could help? It would be pretty cool to meet up with some riders out there. Andy

That was amazing! Loved it

Hooray!

I think i may have to give foam grips after all the years of slating people for em and the aching blisters on my hands.from using rubber grips. I need something comfy to accommodate my sausage hands.

Don't wanna burst a bubble here but Barrow Farm is closed from 29th oct until spring. So you might wanna get in contact for a date for when they intend on re-opening for 2013.

Its good that the feds got in contact with you guys about it. I guess the bike could of had a tartybikes sticker on it for them to trace its history. Even better your trail is getting warm too. Lets hope this dude gets his bike back.

Seeing this the other day made me chuckle.

Heres my old piranha. Was very nice to ride! Photo taken off my iPad2

I've used the same scruffy grinding disc for the past 4 years it does the job lol. S'all about technique really
