  1. I didn't receive any. I kept hanging around at the NMC until one day I was looking at my profile and I noticed I was a "member", haha.
  2. No joke, but my sister's ex-classmate (guy) is named Wee Tat, pronounced as wee-tard, lol.
  3. Monty hose splitter, and same sided pistons (M6/M6) would do the trick. The pads would move in more uniformly?
  4. But not all lesson frames have the same geometry? It's custom. I would get a 609 if I had the money, well maybe next time.
  5. Have you considered a 24''?
  6. 360 eccentric dropouts then In this way, you not only can adjust the wheelbase, you could even adjust the bb rise! LOL and no tensioner. I'm sure looking forward for that, teehee. I can imagine how funny it would be (I was doing a search and I came across this)
  7. Ali is using a pashley fork right?
  8. You mean a 73 degree head angle for your inspired? Or it's also affected by the fork? Pardon me, I'm not really clear on head angles
  9. Martyn Ashton said in one MBUK mag that if you need to get over an obstacle, and regardless what method you use, could be a bunnyhop, pedal kick, etc, just as long as you have gotten over it, that's called trials, because you try.
  10. Hehe, isn't your stem just as short too? You're using a bmx stem with some steel 3'' bar right?
  11. A headlock is just to stiffen up the headtube. Though many use it when their steerers are short. It's un-advisable, but why not? haha.
  12. Wow, those are really good pics, and a good ride too! And is that really an Ashton 20'' frame?
  13. Well, soon no more blue cranks, but black, haha. At first many didn't like the blue crank, which I thought so too, it kinda spoil the look - it stands out too much. Only my bash would remain blue.
  14. It haven't slipped on me yet, but I'm not really good at giving reviews on tyres. I like them cos they're nice and wide, and better than Kenda K-Rads (which are abundant in my country), no LBS wants to bring in Holy Rollers. Pinched twice (many times on k-rads), but i was running quite low pressure then, around 25psi. K-Rads also have very thin sidewalls which tear easily. I know there are some "anti-pinch" rims, but are there such tyres? And I'm using 1.9'' tubes cos 2.3'' tubes are very rare for 24'' here.
  15. I tried to find them at the hardware shops at my side, but to no avail. I just can't be bothered to continue finding. But transparent hose with blue royal blood would look very cool.
  16. Really? Wow. But adrian@eastcoasttrials said polar flames first. I took the polar off him, haha. (polar flames - some oxymoron? polar is to the white, flames is to the yellow)
  17. Wow, I want some too!
  18. I have strong fingers. My finger hurts. I always want to do it faster. I love getting dirty.
  19. Looking great! I like the blue bits. And what seat is that?
  20. The tensioning bolt at the dropout has been around for a few years already (got it on my street bike last time), but it's good that Deng put it into his frames. It makes the tensioning easier! As for the pitbull, it looks really nice, especially the wings (like the previous zoo models?), but the welded on booster looks funny though. As if they welded a real booster straight off from the shelve!
  21. These clear hosing you guys are mentioning are the transparent hose? Not the old translucent blue magura ones?
  22. Most of the time I get stopped in the wee hours of the night. There was once in the day, cos the senior officer was showing the junior officer how to go about taking down particulars, haha.
  23. Someone here had a black inspired with pink parts? And the small handmade metal hello kitty plate on the headtube. haha, that was nice. 24'' is just very very versatile. Sure there might be some who could do those spinny big moves on a 26 but 24 somehow feels much more nicer to ride. The feeling is totally different. Get it, I'm sure you wouldn't regret.
  24. I agree with John. My street friend says the way I pull off some moves/tricks are rather weird and stiff, not so flowy as compared to pure street, but each to his own. As long as you enjoy what/how you ride. By the way, what front rim is Danny using?
