thats no rainbow bike... this is a rainbow bike

In my opinion i wouldnt waste my money on XTR v-brakes. (if you are using them for trials use). I find they create a spongy feeling at the lever, and do not have the power to hold up for trials use. furthermore i had some that i used on my front brake that snapped on the "2nd" arm bit, then i replaced it and it did the same on the second caliper i use. if you are thinking about them for trials use then avoid like the plague IMO. A much better brake caliper would be something like the AVID digit 5 from TartyBikes, or this shimano one here

It was demolished well over 5 years ago. There is a huge indoor skatepark and rock climbing centre there now though! Unforetunately no big bikes allowed in there unfortunately!

vid was sweet boys, finally got round to being able to watch it. sccccchhhhweeeeeeet. gregs dancing LOL. i can truly imagine them being his only dance moves.

ill be honest, i think your bike looks cr*p. really just eugh.....

Good Morning Guys, Had a demo with Ross McArthur this weekend in belfast, and he was kind enough to take a couple of photos for me, then later on in the evening, a local rider - Neil (sorry dude, didnt catch your surname), came out with an abundance of lenses and flashes and took some more photos for me. Thanks to the guys at Tarty, Le @ TNN and Dave at Trialtech for their support. Hope you like the photos, video likely to follow soon. oh and a special thankyou to the Acordian player, who posed for us even though he had no idea what the hell was going on.... Hey You....yea you....come take photies of me... Into Front from the wall at the bottom of photo... And again.... Preparing for the gap good ol' v brake working sweet.... sidehoppin... more than once... acordian manny... up to back wheel across the gap prepped... to post... any comments welcome obviously....

EASY EASY EASY. Ross "Ali C Wannabe" Mcarthur.....

horizontal dropout carbon and you ruin it with a tensioner....what are you playing at man

Rumour has it that the wee ninja has broken his collarbone......again. Big strawberry blonde monkey!

To the tune of mr boombastic: Fatty Boombastic, say you fat-tastic, tight jeans on my butt she says I'm a fatty Roooooooooooooo...mantic call you fat-tastic, tight jeans on my butt she says Mr. boom boom boom boom boom boom----BASTIC

I was also weary about the LGMs, but having tried a pair or two and then getting some myself i must admit that NOTHING comes close. seriously brilliant pads, and i have been around long enough to have tried a good number of different pads on various set ups. my grind was pretty much dead on my rear rim but the pads still held amazingly. now i have a fresh grind, they work with a bit of noise, but my TNN booster set up probably reduces that. LGMS rock my world.

i thought you were riding for onza dan?

Update finally allows decent use on the iphone. really liking the new layout. much prefer this to the older layout. Not really into the facebook status style thing, but the new topics tab etc are good. iphone time. wooop

Get yourself down into the woods, sheltered from the wind and get your camp on. real man style.

get yourself on a mod ross. you suit it better. you look so wrong on a stock. especially an 1100 wheel base beast. short man syndrome is a killer but a bike that fits you better will let you ride better. p.s if you wanna swap your coust for a brisa....then ill take it.

no woolly woofters allowed at that ride...

He only ever reads topics about himself though. his ego proceeds him....but only comes after his big hooter.

Ill edit what you really meant lewis

iiiiiin. possible bit of weegie street in there as well?

you sure its not just ali fu*king up a drop off?

http://asmpauvtttrial.free.fr/terrain2.html bottom two pictures...might be a little help?

impressed with the rail pictures boys. wish i could have made the ride. I spent the day highly intoxicated watching a game called football...well, it was aberdeen so wasnt so much football as yawnsville.

I am university educated after all. reading is one of my strong points. internet sarcasm obviously isnt. chill your beans dan. duncans question wasnt about whether the 'leggings' were performance enhancing or not, he is asking if they give the wrong image to newcomers to the sport, and are possibly a contributing factor to the lack of media spotlight for trials competitions etc. I was going to use macaskill and ashton as examples, but i suppose they do not compete at the highest level so probably bad examples. However, how will 'trials' ever have more exposure when we do not have 'show' mentality?
