And? not every hub is gonna be the same. People have rode T-Pro's for 6 months and managed to crack them, whilst many people haven't.

Skip to 4:46 I like the trick though, I assume he is letting go with his right hand as that is holding his front brake. Cool trick, I would like to learn it, tis stylish.

Well I started out with my T-Vee, and bit by bit I upgraded to a better spec T-Pro, now that I have a nearly complete T-Vee in the shed its time to sell. However, whilst putting back together I noticed the fork/headset area wasn't top notch seeing as how some of the little bits are now on my T-Pro. I have an internal headset for the T-Vee, there are just a few little bits that I need naming so I can buy and get rid of this bike. First bit is what I believe to be a bearing race that sits at the bottom of the steerer tube and fits into the bottom bit of the headset. Second part goes on the top headset cup, it was just like a little plastic seal that covered the top part of the headset from what I imagine is dirt and grime. and finally the third part was a plastic ring, that basically packed the forks in tight against the headset to elimnate movement. If someone could name these pieces and link them to where I can buy them, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, -Tom

But on a starter bike, Charlie was only starting out and not doing any massive riding for his T-Pro hub to break on him. To be quite honest, if its a hub on a starter bike it needs to be good enough for a rider who is just starting trials. Will there be more Onza items available in the newer catalogue?, and I don't suppose you will know when the 08 catalogues will be made?

I say the a "Tuckage" thread should be made in the video section. Be good to see some clips of these sidehops. I can't and don't need to tuck.
-
Not bad man. I should be learning/doing part of my own wheel build (new front wheel). Not bad I guess.
-
Or Faro Shuffle (Google it) them perfectly 8 times, and check the order the cards are in, (should be Red/Black as you started). I do a fair bit of card magic and this is one of the things that is still a pretty amazing skill/sleight to be able to do.

Lmao, the geeza with the pen addiction "I went to the bank, and just couldn't help myself". I like the episode where they all believe that the millenium bug has taken place, and then they go loot everywhere, thinking that technologies are non existent.
-
Well done Geeza. Anymore? c'mon?
-
Good 'un Callum, hopefully I get a few of me, I never get a picture. =( Where's Luke and Wallsy at?
-
I ditto that man, it could affect your style of riding if you are afraid to backwheel/tap to slip down onto bash. Aren't the new Czar frames almost the same as Pythons but have bash plates?

My first topic was before I had my T-Vee. =D http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....c=86757&hl=

I rode Colchester ages ago on my old bike, was alrite but I wasn't good enough to do most bits. I shall be coming down with Reece and possibly a couple of other people, hope to see more people this time (Wallsy and Co). Saturday is probably the best day as Reece can't come on a Sunday. Meeting time and place nearer to the date? -Tom

Pro's & Con's Of T-bird (07)
Captain Scarlet replied to mountian goat's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
I think the T-Bird/T-Vee are probably the best bikes you can get to start on, the Vee's work brilliantly as well as the disc, good value for money and they can easily be upgraded. Of the two, I think the T-Bird is a better investment as it comes with a 19" wheel as standard, and you are getting that for only £50 extra, as well as a good working disc on the front. -
My Updated T-pro And Derbi Senda
Captain Scarlet replied to Alex-Mitchinson's topic in Bike Pictures
What cheap stuff? (Apart from rear wheel) Your bike isn't the smoothest of rides either Steve, I'm lucky that I still have a middle finger after that lever nearly severed it. T-Pro's ***!, keep with the upgrading I think that would look good with a white/silver colour co-ordination, get some white brakes! -
I know how you feel Ash, I just caught my work trousers in my freewheel today and ripped them to the knee! I'll get a bashring when more money comes. Did anyone get any pictures or videos?
-
Problem solved. But seriously though, eBay is a good option, what might be worthless to you, may be worth lots to someone who is after the item you have, besides the fact how you can sell some of your junk and have a clean-out/more room at the same time. At the end of the day, what do you have that sit in your drawyers, or under your bed that you never use?
-
If the Magura doesn't work, I agree with what someone else said about using Vee's, you run a disc on the front and Vee on the rear, without having to worry about mounts, and it can be made to work just as well as Magura can.
-
Twas a great ride, good to see a big turnout, had lot of fun and learnt a new technique. (Oh yea) Weird thing was that Chai ripped his shorts during riding, then I got home to find mine ripped, anyone else experience this today?
-
Sick pics, I could hardly recognise Luke with that nice new lid and frame. +1, now that I'm more experienced. Would all you Colchester lot come out this time though, instead of just Jay?
-
I want the mod, looks sexy, but for the weight, It can't possibly be that strong. Are you riding one these frames Chris?
-
Is anyone going by train via Witham or Colchester? I don't really like the idea of travelling there on my own. (Chances are that Jennings isn't going to come as usual)
-
Just get yourself some free trials of numerous kinds of programmes. What premiere lasts for 30 days, and Vegas for another 30 as Inur said, thats 60 days combined, and you just install them when you need them I guess.

On the subject of the expansion of the universe, the universe doesn't expand forever, eventually it will slow down and reverse, it will compact inwards and create another Big bang. The Big bang hasn't happened just once, its happened numerous times throughout the history of the universe. Thats what I was told anyways. As for the universe having an edge, I always thought the universe was a closed loop (as someone already stated, imagine a baloon and picture everything in the universe inside of it).
