  1. awesome!! the classic mini is the best car ever made!!! you got any future plans for yours or are you keeping it the same? mines just a the perfect stage to have anything done to it so i'm taking my time and decideing what to do. The gd 'ole KAD 16V looks nice :shifty:

  2. hey, well yesterday my deore rear hub finally gave up and died :( i've also noticed my rim is splitting at the joins so i am going to order the new '07 Pro 2 hub in gunsmoke but i was wondering what rim colour i should go for. My bike is a T-Rex and the colours on the actual bike will be all black and silver therefore i would like my rims to be colourful. I was thinking of maybe the flouro green or yellow or maybe the gold Echo because i have a black and gold cruiser and that combo looks amazing. Also spokes, i'm getting all my parts from Tarty so what spokes from them have you have the best experience from strength wise?

    Give me your suggestions!!

    thanks.

  3. Hey, I was just wondering really, is there any rule of what length bike you should have according to your height? I ask this because when people are first starting off in trials how are we supposed to know what length bike to get first of without buying different frame before they find one which suits them? My bike is a T-Rex and to be honest it does feel long for me and I am struggling to learn how to gap the front and then onto back wheel but i am going to stick with my frame because i had only just bought it and i want to get some good use out of it before changing it. Maybe it is because i have not be riding for very long, but practise will make perfect i'm sure!

    Cheers

  4. hi

    just a quick question this one, what does evrybody think to the hope braided hosing for maggies (rear). My dad sayz it would be a good idea to put it on but what do you lot think? I'm not bothering with the front because that will be replaced by a BB7 in the next couple of months, its just the rear i would be putting it on if i get it.

    Cheers

  5. hey,

    After sorting out my front maggie (works real nice now) i have been thinking of the advantages of putting an Avid BB7 on the front (203mm) (would put a Hope on but cannot afford it and i have heard good things about this brake) and running a echo front hub ( i like the idea of the allen bolts becuase i've already messed up my QR quite a bit on my deore) but my question to you lot is what lever and cable would you recommend? I have a shimano deore V-Brake lever and cable (brand new) hanging about would this work nice or would you recomend something else? I want the brake to feel very solid because i hate squishy feeling brakes.

    Thanks for the advice

    Jonny (Y)
