  1. On the subjects of old guitars and cheap guitars, I could never get rid of my first electric guitar. And considering how cheap it is it sound really good. It's a bit numb for lead stuff but it sounds better for chords than my other two, including my Ibanez with it's aftermarket pickup.
  2. I posted a frame and wheel at a post office before. I think a courier is best for a whole bike though. I think it costs like £25.
  3. I suppose you could do it without covering holes with your fingers, or with only covering one, but it makes more sense to cover them as instructed so the water goes in one direction, else you could get bubbles of air collecting in the lever that won't move because the water flow isn't forcing them to.
  4. Well, it's good to know what to expect when you fall off. Coming off the back is a good skill to have. I wouldn't be fussed about learning to bail off the front, lol.
  5. Is there lots of goop in there? Those freewheels don't have great reviews.
  6. This is true, but the same can be said of a 24" trials trials bike. It's smaller so easier to change directions on.
  7. If this is you, maybe. Although that means all the lego man jokes I've made before don't work.
  8. Dunno, I thought that was just underlined text. This... is a link.
  9. Empty promises! After all, you're only a lego man, your hands are far too small.
  10. 26"s make better ordinary trials bikes. 24"s make better bikes for 180s and 360s and other moves you have to throw the bike around more for. Not that you can't do that on a 26", Ali C and Rowan Johns handle theirs fine. That's about the gist of it.
  11. You can't get 12t freewheels, you have to put one on the front. It works just the same except for there's more of a chance of getting your trousers stuck in your chain.
  12. I am definitely up for cheating on my wife with someone else's hand. Not a dude's hand, sorry dan.
  13. You're looking for me. Now that I've posted, there's a link somewhere in this thread for the video tutorial I did. See if you can find it.
  14. The real question is where can you get it heat treated so it doesn't snap straight away.
  15. Who's this guy on the silver frame with the green seat? Seems like a surprise good street rider... I like surprise good street riders, we need more.
  16. At sainsbury's they try, but the amount of bread and cakes alone that's to be thrown outweighs the people who come in buying it. You do get odd people who come in and raid the super-reductions at night. I don't like it because I can't see how they can eat all of it, not all of it's freezable and some of it will only have a day or two past the sell-by of goodness in them.
  17. No, I've got a wife. Here's our wedding picture -
  18. Maybe then you've just lost the feel for them? Bit like me and taps, I learnt them, forgot them, then they came back when I did a few.
  19. P-r-ac-tice PRACTICE. I can't sidehop at all, I'll be honest, but when you say you're either too far forwards or back, that doesn't sound like technique, it sounds like you just need to get a better feel for it.
  20. Yeah, that sounds like a better geometry for a stock.
  21. It's always nice to see videos of street riders who don't have many videos. Also I am really jealous of the quality spots you've got down there. I could cry.
