  1. Nice bikes Rob! The Baby Pitbull looks amazing, the forks fitted alright then?
  2. £21? It's not even a full set, just enough to make up your own?
  3. Have you got the windows disc? If you have try this: http://www.michaelstevenstech.com/XPrepairinstall.htm If repair isn't offered then you might have to wipe all your stuff off it and start again.
  4. It's not screwed in, and you're only supposed to use it on a solid supporting wall. Obviously you'd never use it on a partition. It just hooks over the doorframe, and most of the pressure goes straight into the wall because it pivots on the foam pads on the other side of the door frame. I still havn't got one yet, but I'll get round to it one day, I've read nothing but good reviews about them.
  5. I'd like to have a go with the stock if it's not too late? Leakycock will vouch for me. If i end up having to post it abroad, anyone know how much it will cost? I'd use my Dad's work's courier for it, I sent a bike to the scottish highlands for £20 in less than 24 hours once.
  6. Supercycles do them, they're really good, my brothers got the main hose and crossover for £14 posted. I solved it differently, I used two M6/M8 slaves, blanked off the M6 holes and used plastic hosing with a monty splitter going to the two M8 holes, so I could use a shroud and olive on both sides, it's really good so far, I fell off and knocked it the other day and managed not to boot it off. Fitting the splitter is a right b*****d though.
  7. I've been riding motorbike trials for nearly 5 years, and push bike trials for about 2 and a half, but I've been dirt jumping and bmxing for years before that. My ankles and wrists are really stiff and sore sometimes, my wrists are worse, if I rotate them in circles then they click and crunch every time, it's not nice. They're not painful or anything, just uncomfertable, but my ankles have actually got better since I started push bike trials, when i used t do a lot of dirt jumping and XC they were really bad.
  8. Echo Lite forks: 1045, +45 Onza T-Pro Forks: 1060, +55 I once had mine at 1070, that was with a fecked chain though, I had to angle the slaves pointing down loads.
  9. Whats a Diesel? I've never heard of them.
  10. Doing weights builds up your slow twitch muscle fibres, you need to do plyometrics if you want to be "bouncier" and more explosive, which is what you need for trials really. Just ride your bike more though, if your body isn't strong/fit enough to withstand your riding ability, it will get stronger and fitter naturally the more you ride.
  11. I'd recommend the Rubber Queen for the rear, the casing is very thin anyway, so to save that extra weight something must have gone! My rubber queen is brilliant, the grip is really good easily as good as the Minion I had before, but the wear rate is daft! I bought it about 3-4 months ago from Ali C second hand, and you can't tell it's worn at all.

    Look I'm pissed so I could be wrong, but it's not a simple mistake at all, it's a simpleton's mistake.

    You pet hate is someone using an apostrophe when it's not supposed to have one, and you don't know it's f**king name?!
  14. There were two 06s, that's an 06.5 the same as I used to have. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....st&id=18635 The 07s were the same as the current 08 maggy, all they did was add the 08 disc in.
  15. Thats a mega find for £200 mate! The frame is an 06 though.
  16. How hard is the competition? If it were compared to a YMSA which route would the easiest route be? I'm saying nothing yet as I haven't checked dates or anything, but I'll look into it.

    Hey f**k you southern pansies, you're the ones that talk stupid for no reason!
  18. Good stuff, looking forward to recieving them. I'm running citrus pads now on a medium semi-worn grind, and it's pretty good, just started slipping though so it'll be fun to see how these measure up!
  19. I just cba any more, I'm always sore from riding now on Monday/Tuesday so it spazzes up my week. I also love dips, as they are the only bodyweight excersise I'm any good at.
  20. It's a very thick ply for a single ply though. It's like 1.5ply.
  21. Either a Rockman Isis or an Ozonys XR26 with Echo SL forks, rear maggy, front Hope, Try-All hOles rims, rear Pro2, front Try-All H Hub, Try-All cranks, Trialtech bars.

    I'd be more up for that, a house in sheffield can only be like £500 a month to rent, which is £32 each or something. Even once you've factored in bills, food etc, it shouldn't go past like £75 a week each should it? And we'd have more space. It's happened a few times, and I've literally just been riding down the road, I could understand it spooking them if I was bouncing about and making screachy noises, but every time I've just been freewheeling past.

    Those stuck up bastards on horses that come up the road and ask you to stop riding in case you scare the horse. f**k off! How about you keep it in the field if it's scared of a bike with orange wheels, whats it going to do when a lorry goes past! (Theres an industrial estate at the end of my road) Any walkers who have a go when your riding XC on footpaths, they go mental, as if we didn't know already that we're not supposed to be there, we're going to do it anyway, just like I'm going to download illegal music and play it too loud. People constantly telling me I'll have a better time if I move away for Uni. "The night life/clubbing scene is better", I hate clubbing, I like going to the pub for a few drinks then going to bed before I have to get up again. Have they not seen how much it costs aswell? My mate is paying £90 in halls, not including food. I'd rather stay at home and be able to ride my bike all the time, and have a bedroom larger than my current wardrobe.
  24. Cheers for letting us know Mike, I'm waiting with baited breath.
  25. He's at college now. I didn't bother putting my AS levels down! DEU, I thought it would just put them off. EDIT: I'm really slow these days, seems like I'm having to edit every post. I just worked out I should get about 300 from this course, and they want 240, which is nice.
