Muel

I didn't even know they existed haha, they look sweet, cheap too.

People still use cage pedals? They're shite! MG-1s are the only way.

Happy birthday to you!

Oh my f**k that's actually you. You're going to be in my house in less than 24 hours. What the f**k have I got myself into. :/

Bring ze lederhosen ja?

They are indeed, because Microsoft haven't stopped update support for it yet. When they do in a year or two all businesses will go to W7.

Bollocks. I have W7 on all my computers now, it's by far the best windows OS I've ever used.

What are the cranks though? When sprockets bend it doesn't really effect chain legnth in my experience, because the circumference of the sprocket is still the same.

You sure it's the sprocket? You always end up with tight and slack spots. Whats the spec? More than likely just that the tapers and the sprocket thread on the crank arm aren't concentric.

I didn't read the mobility part. Flight sim? On a laptop with 512mb on board at best? I assumed it was a desktop haha.

Errrrmmm nah, ATI write the drivers, not Microsoft. If you want to be gaming dude, get a better graphics card, ob board just doesn't cut it.

I'm 35 miles away, the trains are also arse worthy, my journey is 1:20 either way (half hour walk from my house to the station, then 50mins on the train). I do it everyday though, it's managable. So it's there if you want it dude.

They snap very easily, everyone I've known to have a set snapped them very quickly. Before they snap they're also incredibly flexible.

I'd say not, trials hubs use little lightweight axles and bearings. Just compare a front Pro2 hub to a ZHI one. If you got a second hand Pro2 though, that'd do.

Deng freehubs, Echo SL forks.

Course I'm taking the piss, even I can do 40" lol. 50" isn't bad but it's not huge, most riders I used to ride with could do it.

Don't bully him Nicklearse. 40" is the stuff of fantasy, I'd be surprised if Hermance could even do 30"

SHEFFIELD HALLAM BABY YEHHH!!! I didn't know he'd been though, would have loved to meet him.

Definately need a 7200RPM HDD there Mike, I have an AM3 based computer with a 965BE and it's definately that which is limiting it. I would get a better PSU aswell, probably a Corsair, and definately try to get modular, I'm so annoyed that I didn't. As for the CPU, I'd go with the Athlon personally, or stretch to a 955BE C3. The 945 has a locked multi so you can't overclock them as easily.

They're 1.6kg, not particularly light, and they definately are not solid at all, they're probably one of the weakest frames around. I knew one guy who put (I think) 5 cracks in one, and he didn't ride that harsh at all. No problem with the mounts? Have a search dude, there have been topics. There was no problem with the long version, just the short version.

I'd take the crank arm off and spin the BB, sounds like it's bent, however it's unlikely. Unless the crank arm is loose, having a tight chain won't make an impact. So yeh, check it's all tight first, then next I'd try a BB spacer, if that doesn't work then a 128mm BB. If the BB is bent, you could rotate both cranks round like 90 degrees so instead of the bend making it closer to the frame, it would just tilt the crank arm to the side.

They're old, outdated things, particularly weak, not particularly light, not very compact, and some terrible build issues. My brother has one in the garage, the 4 bolt mounts are welded on at least 10mm too high, and I've heard loads of people have the same issue. I've got round it on this one by making a tensioner which allows the wheel to sit in the right place for the brake to work. I wouldn't recommend it, they're OK to work on but you'd be much better off with a T-Pro, if you ask me it's a far better frame. (I built the T-LIte and the T-Pro with the same bits and the stem in the same place aswell, so I could compare). EDIT: That particular one will be horrid to ride, they need short forks to be any good like Echo Lites. My brother's came with some Onza shite things on that were way too long, it was transformed when we put a set of Lites on it. EDIT: It also has no booster, and apart from my Kot MS2 it's the flexiest frame I've ever ridden, they really need a 4 bolt booster or it's just a nasty experience.

tartybikes.co.uk if not, selectbikes.com If they don't have something, PHONE (not on the web, phone), supercycles.co.uk or trialsman.co.uk. Other than that, there are no shops worth using.

Happy Birthday darling, seems sooo long ago I was 18 haha!
