  1. Hello, I've sent you an email mate. Rob.

    Bike Lights.

    Isn't there like a legal brightness that lights have to be though? Those wrap around lights don't look very bright at all.
  3. I've heard rumours that you can now get a £30 on the spot fine for not having lights on your bike at night! Is anyone actually going to put a set of lights on their trials bike? lol. I can't imagine any of us putting up a decent chase from the police on their bikes! Maybe it's just Basingstoke...
  4. Ahhh memories! I started about the same time. And yeah, it was a lot more fun back then, maybe because I actually had a crew then rather than riding alone.
  5. Why is it that when it gets a little bit cold or a little bit wet, people suddenly turn into complete retards on the road?! Rant over.
  6. That was... DJ Pied Piper And The Masters Of Ceremonies - Do You Really Like It CHOOOOOON!!!
  7. Haha, this is awesome... But you all make me feel so old! Baddiel and Skinner - 3 Lions on a Shirt Ocean Colour Scene - Day we caught the train White Town - Your Woman All cassettes I can't remember if they we're specifically my FIRST three but I defo remember owning them and 3lions on a shirt was defo the first!
  8. What Radiohead have done is actually REALLY clever... Because EVERYONE is talking about this album! I've had mates that have NEVER liked Radiohead before, asking me what I think of this new album and such. So basically because it's a 'freebie', they have widened their fan base and got everyone talking.
  9. I like the album... A LOT. It didn't spark any sort of reaction the first time I heard it... but everytime I hear it, I like it more. Not as good as 'Down In Albion' though.
  10. I've had it for a few days now, paid 0 because I could. I have no moral issue with what I've done. But yeah it's never going to live up to The Bends or OK Computer. But it's nice to listen to... that's how I'd describe it. The whole album seems to be on one straight line of quality, ie: there are no REALLY good tracks and no really crap tracks. "Nude" stands out to me as the weakest though I guess.
  11. Any opinions of this album? I know my opinion of it... but I'm after others please!
  12. My rear XTR v-brake makes some HORRIBLE vibrating noises as I'm riding. I appreciate it's where my wheel is flexing as i ride and my brake pad is tacky so it's trying to grip it. I think it's to do with the parallel linkage thing... I mean, I've had the brake for many years, and I can actually feel the movement in the brake pad when I wiggle it with my finger. My question is this - What can I do about it? I'm considering greasing all the links up, has anyone resolved this issue before?
  13. I used to work at JJB lol!! When I applied for the job, I had just turned 16 and was still at school... They didn't bother interviewing me, they just gave me the job lol... as a bike tech!! Funniest days of my life working there. Now I'm stuck in an office as an IT technician.
  14. My first trials build was a 1999 Cannondale M500 CAAD2 frame and forks in 15". Built up with the usual old school parts (a lot of which I'm still using on my current Pashley).
  15. Was on a training course the other day and spotted these brake pads! I think they would work well on a harsh grind... What do you reckon?
  16. Didn't the Mavic 121 get rebranded as the Mavic D521? ...which is now the Mavic EX721??
  17. I'm a Basingstoke lad! Check out this recent thread http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....p;#entry1369140 ...Few more lads there.
  18. www.heatsinkbikes.com www.tartybikes.co.uk As for being cheap... you get what you pay for.
  19. Alright lads... I'm considering coming along, but it all depends on what happens tonight at this big party I'm going to. Can someone who's gonna be there all day PM me their number so I can find you lot if I'm late or whatever? I do kinda know Reading town centre reasonably well.
  20. There's a Reading ride this Sunday which I might be going to. Depends on what mischief I get up to tonight Have a look in the Rides/Locations section on 'ere.
  21. That looks like the old Saracen X-Tort paint job! - Correct me if I'm wrong.
  22. Saturday is no good for me. Sunday is free if anyone's interested in Basingstoke?
  23. Nice! I've never noticed how thin the seat tubes are on those frames!!
