  1. The trouble with him is he lives MILES AWAY from England, where the video is based.
  2. I got some from tarty the other day, cheers though.
  3. Started stripping the paint today, turns out it's immune to Nitro Mors, so I brought out the BIG GUNS. Not finished yet, I'll finish it off tomorrow and maybe even get some paint down!
  4. I'd ride mine to work today except for I've taken it apart for painting.
  5. www.unicycle.org.uk Not quite sure how you got the TF address mixed up in your link.
  6. Sure, I reckon the loughborogh guys would head up once in a while. The city centre is pretty cool, the square is fun but you have to pick your time, late sunday seems to be the best. Furthermore, it's a short train ride to Lboro, bit longer to leicester.
  7. Hot damn, is there snail cam holes? Then it must be made for cams, which are an extra 3mm each! So you're looking at 116, dawg, but anyway it doesn't matter you can just put shit in there to space it out if there's a problem, daaaaaaaaaaaaaawg.
  8. You don't really have those on trials bikes.
  9. Out of stock, apparently. You could improvise though.
  10. So yeah, the scene actually within Nottingham seems to have died, but there's nothing stopping anyone from Nottingham (me or you) from calling in riders from local cities, Derby, Leicester, Loughborough, so you can tag along and try bikes, and get tips.
  11. If your wheel build is shit, and the spokes have lots of torsion, then that can encourage spokes to snap, regardless of how good they're meant to be. Your wheel build is almost certainly at fault. Did you notice that any spokes were loose before they snapped? Twisted spokes normally untwist in use, undoing the nipple in the process.
  12. I know! It's Huw bristow.
  13. Well, you picked a good song.
  14. Don't worry, I'm going to get both brakes going, so they'll end up on the right sides.

    That's a different event called Novembeard.
  16. On the subject of retarded bar angles, I found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SYSTEMEX-STEM-RAISER-QUILL-ADAPTOR-1-1-1-8-Shims-/170679750681?pt=UK_sportsleisure_cycling_bikeparts_SR&hash=item27bd4e5019 Which would turn my obsolete 1" threaded steerer system into a 1 1/8" stem diameter jobbie... and I should have a suitable stem in the shed, perfect!
  17. Nottingham represent. Short train journey away, much like loughborough, and leiecester which has a bigger scene.
  18. If the paint was in perfect nick, I might keep it that colour for longer, but it's faded and it's chipped to hell, so I'm getting rid this week or next.
  19. Cheers, it's only gonna get better And luke, that's on the cards, ha, I'll try and get another stem that's lower too, the quill on this one is rusted to shit.
  20. Update #3 - Get rideable So today I've got the front brake working, fitted a spare deore LX lever I had in the shed, put my spare front wheel on, Atomlab GI wheel, and locked out the derallieur on the back so it's singlespeed. It's a true rat-look bike at the moment. It'll look a lot better when I paint it, which shouldn't be too long. The brake works surprisingly well. Gonna roll down to the wier to chuck it in the canal take some pictures. Left to do: Paint it, swap the rear wheel, swap the brakes for vee brakes, fit new levers. New pedals, possibly.
  21. It's probably the shock of realising they're not always right.
