but on most occasions we like people because we find them genuine, thats just one of the reasons we form relationships, for example, i havent met you joe, i never spoke to you, but u seem like an ok guy from being on here. meh

if you watch the video the boy's in that are fairly giving it some pasty, so maybe its a decent design, but i do see where you are both coming from

THE ELIMINATOR (DUM, DUM, DUM) the eliminator rim, from T.H.E, its a rim designed to allow tyres to be run at lower pressures, and eliminating all pinch punctures (imaginative name.) any thoughts. a little movie as well for y'all if you fancy it. ill give my idea's and thoughts later on, depending on the popularity of the thread. http://www.the-industries.com/THE_small_FINAL.mov

i hear ben@hulltrials is a f**kin ace guy, :D had to be done eh? (Y) L for love (for those who have seen dodgeball) erm -- all the @hulltrials boys - sound as a pound tunni - met him once, but seemed like a good lad, bit quiet, but meh tarty - well good lad, knows his shit, helpful, good looking, (Y) dave cleaver - another sound guy, always up for a chat, even though he is busy more often than not waynio - met him at fortbill - hyper mother f**ker, but loved his atitude more than anything. kool guy watson - you beast areeeeeeeeba, love him (Y) all the boys i met in notts for big street ride just before summer - very loud, obnoxious, but f**king ace banter. loved it. good lads. heatsink - steve (may be my sponsor) but he is genuine, never met or spoke to him, but via pm seems like a good lad, sure ill meet him soon. fatmike - another great guy, will catch up with you again sometime Joe Oakley - also met are fort william. liked his attitude good lad, although i want some of that money u got from that guy. Iolo - sound as a f**king pound. funny guy as well. tom rigg - another i met at fort william, seemed to know my name without looking at my card ( i think) sure ill see you at some comps sometime tom :D aaron cosbey - your way better than i thought, good lad, i have to concentrate lots when ur speaking (accent) but another good lad. porter - never met you, i have you on my msn, but dont think we have spoken (not sure why) but your a funny guy from your screen names and your posts. towler - guy i ride with most, good lad, although spend way too much time on a f**kin computer playing shitty CS shovel - this guys has the biggest hands (legend has it that he was the mould for the foam hands you get) sarcastic (only to me, b*****d) but genuinely nice guy> duncan shaw - trying to organise a scottish trials series, worth talking too, seemed to get on with him ok, he might state otherwise, but good lad none the less. think thats it, ill add to it, if someone crops up :)

funny???

exactly what i thought when i read it, but didnt want to be the immature one, thought i would leave that to you adam :(

why not swap for a week and see how you both get on with the other bike. that way you wont be commited to buying/swapping? cheers

why dont you two just go into control panel and block each other so you dont have to read their posts. its that simple!!!! then no need to have an argument in a thread do that by CONTROLS > MANAGE IGNORED USERS > TYPE IN NAME > click 'UPDATE IGNORED USERS' thanks

hey duncan, make it sunday the 16th, that would be immense, totally immense. i would love to come to a competition, however i cant make saturday's, that is the only date i cannot make. Sundays are perfect, but saturdays are impossible for me to ride on, on another note, you fancy coming down to the rocks at newtonhill this sunday (same ones we rode last time you were down) for a full day. let me know ben

totally ridiculous intepreted (as) antisocial loitering (but) skilfull (nonetheless)

i think i know which you mean, but others wont! which one aust? im a tensile guy (out of those)

between your arse cheeks son :sick: man that was too easy

i too got my heatsink booster, put new pads on, and gave my rear brake a bleed, all i can say is truly awesome, i know im sponsored by steve, however i want you to believe me when i say, i wouldnt try anything else. I had an RB on at the fort william comp, and my brakes moved around in the mounts this heatsink booster is totally different, the brakes stay straight and its very stiff, can be done up very tight with no problems. its very much worth the money. i would say so. cheers ben

is just as good a deal. let me know (Y) ben

As per my singleton's post, i must agree that appearance is great with this booster, its light and well machined, i will pop mine on tonight and see how things go, however i can well imagine that its going to be great. Some serious research has gone into this booster and its looking good for the future, lets just hope that the singlespeed tensioners and other machined parts you offer will be as good steve. This is just my initial review, ill get a better idea when im on my bike later tonight. cheers ben

if we dis-regard costs though, there are other options available, such alloys as ZR9000 (trek/gary fisher) are almost dent resistent (apparantly) but would be very expensive to produce. But as wayne says i would say that U6 alloy is the best for trials, mine is 7005 and its fairly decent, although fairly standard. meh, i reckon wayne could dent anything though :huh:

i used to run 20:18 which worked out to be around 1.111111, it was a fine gear for myself, i thought it did me perfect, but however, after going uci styleeeee, i have come up with the perfect saying :P for both natural and street, get 16:14 beneath your feet....... its the perfect gearing in my opinion. (and how fooking corny is that saying hahaha) cheers me mateys ben

da da, da da da da da, da da, da, da, da da da da da

thats cool, i couldnt tell whether it was internet sarcasm, (the kind you cant tell) so i thought i would just ask. yer its pretty amazing what people do with 3d render etc, anyway back to the topic cheers ben

cheers

i dont read MBUK mark, i work in alpinebikes and im pretty sure shimano were first, although if im wrong im wrong, but they were certainly one of the first to try the outboard bearing design.

was that a bit of sarcasm snappel, or are u just asking? if just asking, then its a proper photo www.adamentbike.com :sleeping:

sorry, no offence, but can we see a set of results where everyone is in a correct order? in fact i might even do it later. cheers ben

hey guys, i decided to have a look through the adament trials website, and noticed on one of the pictures on the bike that the new echo cranks are using out-board bearings. Now for some you may wonder what the hell im talking about, but basically the cup on the outside of the frame houses larger bearings, which makes the axle size larger, and generally stronger, but also allowing the bearings to retain a larger size and stronger strength. This idea was brought to light by shimano, who came up with the idea for their hollowtech bottombrackets, which are used in highend cross country bikes and all mountain bikes, where an outboard bearing cup isnt going to take much abuse. So here is my debate..... Does the forum believe the new echo cranks to be useful for trials, or will it lead to a disaster, with possible damage to the bearing cup and/or threads in the bottom bracket shell if the user lands on the shell on a rock or wall? DISCUSS p.s here is a picture for u guys to see....please dont discuss the colourful parts, no-one cares now

hey, sorry its not one of my videos, im not sure on what video it is...... on another note, i never realised people actually kept my videos/knew me by name, glad someone does :D but again sorry i dont know the video, certainly not one of mine
