Mobile phone shop?

:huh: Cool.

Mod/Stock... 24" = Mock :huh:

How cool?! I can't really find much about it, does anyone know where it is?

12 hours to go!

There is always an area code of 3 digits at the start of thier numbers. 555 is not registered for any state (Y)

I did magic tricks for 6 years. I was well good, I was a member of the magic circle too. I might have to start again and make a vid and show you guys lol :lol: But yeah, I got pretty much all the tricks he does anyway (Y) Things like tap a 50p on the bottom of bottle and it ends up inside, biting a 50p in half and blowing it backtogether before giving it back to the owner, umm loads I have. Il make some vids and post them soon (Y) edit: I can do the vanishing coin one btw up there ^^^ no its not magnetic, its much more simple than you think. The real name for that trick is 'the raven' and itl cost you £25 to buy :)

Pitbul rider, your tox looks nice (Y) What stem is that btw? Its well long (Y)

Cheers, its just ring ring ringing though (Y)

Didn't know whether is was steel or not, now I do :huh: Could try primer that you put on with a brush?

I'm guessing its not actually chromed, probably just ball burnished? If it isn't chromed you could just whack a wire wool brush in a drill and take the shine off, then primer, paint and lacquer. It'll probably chip easy though, best bet would be to take it to a propper place where they'll powder coat it and bake it. Sam

If the geometry was perfect it would be fun to ride, yet everything would be easy :huh:

Tried both mobile numbers, and he doesn't come online much. Has anyone got his landline number? Cheers, Sam

71

While your here waynio, what were you riding in encounters 1? The silver frame with carbon forks?

Ok, dont really know how I'm going to start this so I'll just get on with it.. Chainstays: Back in the day when trials was ridden on XC bikes the stays would have been around 410mm, nowadays they are mostly 380, 375, 365mm. Having short stays makes it great to get up on the backwheel and control when your up there, but I think it also has some major disadvantages. I think slightly longer stays of around 390 or 385 are more benificial for gaps and ups as they give you more leverage. BB rise: Again, back in the day, we were looking at -20bb, now on most frames we see +10, +20, +30, +50, +80. This, I feel, has a great advantage for control on the backwheel and makes everything feel smaller as your up higher, but I also think it has some major disadvantages, such as you cant drop the front as much in gaps, so you loop off, the fact that it makes the bike ride shorter so you can end up being more hunched on a bike with a longer wheelbase. Headtube angle: 71 or 72 seems to be the most popular, but why? To make the bike FEEL shorter yet RIDE longer, hmm is this a good thing? I dunno, but I think steeper angles would have more advantage, they would bring the backend up quicker in sidehops, ups to front wheel etc. Wheelbase: Short = flicky, long = more control for static power moves. Cant really say much more for wheelbase to be honest. So I wrote this kinda quick, but maybe you understand? All this might sound silly but I recon there is truth in it. So, MY ideal frame would have to be; Wheelbase: 1065mm Head angle: 73.5deg Chainstays: 390mm BB rise: +5mm OR, you could just get on a bike and go ride and not worry about all this tripe B) Sam

I can see your left foot on the floor B)

Random B)

Talk to zoojames!

Oh only about 15mm. It was like a pea when I first noticed it B)"

Yeah but it lengthens your chainstays somewhat B)

I had a lump in my neck, it got bigger and bigger so I went to docs, he sent me to hossie where they stuck a fecking needle in it *wince* and then told me that it needed to be removed. I had a general and they got it out and did some tests to find that it was caused by toxoplasma, which is like a disease which starts from cat shit :P I've no idea how I got it, I dont really make a habbit of going round picking up cat poo. Aparaently if I had it in my eyes I could be blind now B)

Umm dunno, I havnt got a bike with a seat B) I'll let you know when my XC bike is back :P

I'll most probably go B)
