  1. I'm gonna have to say it ... WEAR A HELMET!

    +1 on the above.

    Comments on vid, not bad for 9 months riding, just relax on the bike a bit more and everything will come much easier.

  2. Buy a pack of 36spokes for £10-15 or purchase them for £1 each at my place of work?

    If you can get sapim CX-Ray Black bladed spokes for £1.00 each i know a company that will buy 10000 of them from you, however i doubt you can as they are about £2.50 each at trade.

    Trials spokes and top end road spokes are rather different beasts.

    I would guess the spokes you are on about are plain gauge.

  3. for sure you will need different spoke lengths, at the very least on the disc side.

    remember it all depends on how the original wheel was laced ( radial, 2 cross, 3 cross etc) and how you want to build the new one (radial on non disc, 3 cross disc side and so on.)

    Im lucky that i have a mate that builds my wheels for nowt but he can build one in 30 mins so long as its a good quality strong rim.

    Dont know why people are complaining about £1.50 a spoke, the ones in my roadie are £4.50 each.

  4. this is exactly how i want to ride... not big height but its just awsome to watch it because of the control and style as craigjames said...just super awsome (Y)

    if u think that chris' riding isnt big u must be mad! it looks little as he makes everything look so easy.
