18th king cog for me guys. thats it :S no gears nottin ben

good post boon, although never knew you were inspired by UCI/BIU :S i think i should be trying to go to watch some truly amazing riders. getting time off work is harsh, but im sure ill manage it you know how it is. cheeers ben

point is that its a personal opinion thing, if u cannot afford 140 on middleburns then echo are better cranks, if you want a front freewheel echos are better cranks, if you prefer the echo label on the crank arm echos are better cranks. you cannot ask a forum what are the better cranks, then ultimately decide that one is better than the other because the majority says so... i dont think you understand....maybe your mate is all knowing wise man who has been alive for 2 million years and knows everything there is to know, so he is right, but its an opinion he is making. not a correct and justified statement. jeez....

60a grip aint as bad as people make out, i was learnign front hooks in the rain with that on the front, but yea if you want better grip or you ride natural alot then run a supertacky or slow reezay ben

listen to mr porter, he knows where its at maxxis maxxis maxxis you truly wont get better than maxxis, ben

i dont know if im the only person thinking this, but you post some crap posts, now dont take offence to that, but you really do.... i dont want an internet fight.... in their right mind people will think this is a shite question, both sets are good cranks, all except middleburns come in either standard or isis, the latter bottom bracket stylee which is stiffer and stronger in my opinion. middleburns cannot run front freewheel, whereas echo's can. its make your own choice here. please stop postin so much shit.... ben :S

well im 20 going 21 in november, makes u feel reet shit when others on this foum are so good being soo young. mr porter for one, CLS for another, buggers all young and impressionable. ben

come on guys stop arguin about whose right about trains. anyone who can make it where is good places to meet/park/ any suggestions on the place of meeting/time of meeting would be a good idea. probs about half eleven. im definately going as is couple of hull-trials riders and some that aint on here. looking forward to it. ben

sorry damon im not down until the 18th so wont be no sick shit going on from me that sunday, sunday after were in sheffield so yea. :S ben

another photo of me riding taken by mate mike

right guys, im new to this webdesign malarky.... i have made my pages in photoshop, and sliced them up into lots of small slices...... then exported through dreamweaver to make hotlinks.... now i was speaking to tart, he seems to think having larger slices will load quicker.... could someone shed some light on this for me please, its totally confusing, and would like quicker load times. many thanks ben the site is HULL-TRIALS

my honest opinion is that i wouldnt run a single ply on the rear without a high pressure, now for example i run 18-20psi with a 2.5 double ply highroller and have punctured the once. now its a v.slw puncture but i know a single ply wouldnt have taken the landing. now for the front its a different story, a superb tyre with all round puncture resistance, as i dont run the tyre as low psi on the fron probs around 30psi. please dont get a single ply rear unless ur a weight weenie......adam likes pies remember so if he can keep weight on his bike down he is happier all round (Y) ben

thats my favourite rider me photo by towler_trials

aye mr ben, have that one of you to the post as mine at the moment. although you could dam well go on www.trials-nation.com and use any of the pics on there (might wanna ask the owner though) TB (tartybikes) has some nice ones. have a look around the sites vids and pics ones. ben

pedros is superb stuff as well, but just same quality as park, little bit cheaper than park in my experiences and if u can get some ball ended allen keys as they allow you to get in those niggly places. ben

tis a very nice skin, nice one tom and danny ben

and he bled and he bled, but unusually a baby fell out of his tight wet, red and smelly.....

you know it makes sense ben

invite all the other pigs to come live in this big purple hippos arse, which led to the mysterious world of...

2.7 is overkill, a 2.5 will suffice and also depends on ur rim. if u have a koxx rim then 2.5 will be massive, if only an echo one then u will be fine with 2.5 thats my combo and its perfect. 2.7 is heavy and overkill. ben

duly came along and climbed inside this hippos arse... which causeed the hippo too

yea sorry nick i updated the link, and took quicktime 7 off my mac as it doesnt allow windows users to see the encoding that if opens up on final cut express, i export it using quicktime conversion > DSL high > size 320 x 240 (Y) cheers again ben
