  1. Ad knows it! I tend to where gloves anyway though, it hurts so much more without when you fall off.
  2. Have you removed the inner cage? Makes them far grippier. I use Wellgo MG-1s on both my bikes with some flat fairly worn DC skate shoes, super comfortable and plenty of grip.
  3. I think you meant a Hope Mono Trial. Theres a Mono Mini, but I wouldn't recommend them for trials, they're designed for XC.
  4. The task bar? I had the same problem, couldn't find a cure so I had to reinstall windows. You can normally still back everything up by opening Task Manager, under the Applications tab click new task then browse. If you hav an external hard drive or a second internal one you can copy everything you want to save onto it from the C: drive, then just wipe it and start again, then copy all your files back on.
  5. You can get sprocket offset spacers. My Dad had one for his fixie a while back, basically it screws onto the thread on the hub, then give another thread for the sprocket. I think it was about 15mm? Best bet is to ask the fixie guys though, or get one made up.
  6. It's a hard choice, I did the bar and stem first when I did the same thing, but I had a Zona Zip which rode surprisingly well with T-Pro forks. The price your mates asking for seems a bit steep if you ask me, I just sold a virtually brand new set of Echo Lite forks for £45 inc £5 for postage. If you keep your eyes pealed on here and ebay I bet you can do forks, bar and stem for £60.
  7. Me, my mate and my brother are all left foot foward. Would have been easier if you'd made a poll.
  8. Rather than edit it to apologise for spelling wear wrong, you could just change it to wear? I wear pretty much what the guy above does.
  9. I got a stock in August, I love it, so much more room than the Mod. I'm not that tall though, only 5'11". It's more down to personal preference than height.
  10. Monty forks are fat? In this list, they come 4th weight wise, and they're expensive. http://tartybikes.co.uk/search.php?categor...by=weight%20asc I'd say the biggest losses can be made in the wheels depending on the hubs/rims.
  11. The song EDIT: Shit, too slow.
  12. Videos Watched: 1,207 Video Views: 7,190 I never log in to it though, and I had to take a load of videos off because of song stealiture.
  13. I'd buy them, flog the Da Bomb and make a new build out of them.
  14. I've made more mates on here that i make an effort to keep in touch with than the mates i went to school with, we just have so much more in common, despite living really far apart.
  15. Peanut butter on toast every morning, great way to keep topped up. I'm lying though, I've had it for breakfast every day for about 10 years at least, and I can never stick to the routine long enough to see any difference if I eat peanut butter or not, but it tastes nice.
  16. Couldn't tell you, i just use plain old allen key bolts the next size up and file them down to be more pointy.
  17. That would rape the tapers in the crank arm, because it couldn't get tight. Get a new BB! Everything else is just bodging and has been done before, and will come back to bite you in the arse.
  18. Won't they chew the holes up? I use an old centre punch, it's really blunt now so barely leaves a mark, and you can hit it really hard so you can get the lockring mega tight.
  19. You'll have a hard job bending a BB axle, they tend just to snap. It's all down to how accurately the cranks have been machined. I've also found that square taper tends to "float" more than ISIS.
  20. You can mend it, drill the hole through the body, tap the hole and fit a bolt in, only works on the ones where theres space for a bolt head behind the body.
  21. Oooff yeh, kind of Anodized but on a shot blasted/shot peened finish.
  22. V8s are better IMO, the V12s have a bush as far as I know, and from my experience with bushes they develop play really quick. V8s are easily rebuildable aswell, so they last for years.
  23. Get a ring, plates are for BIU bashers.
