Wet Banana

Yeah I get where you're coming from, but even still... If I could afford the newer one...

I don't much like foreigners. I'd like to visit Huddersfield.

You can't overdose on weed, there has been no direct deaths from the use of it. If you're worried about getting cancer from the tobacco, eat it. Or use a vaporiser, duh. Why is everyone so anti weed on here?

I'm an engineer, and they are just not CF. A contact-adhesive is your best bet to fix them.

Buy Asda/Wilkinson/Tesco cheap tubes and use a Maxxis Dual Ply tyre. Namely a "Maxxis Minion 2.5" Dual-Ply Super-Tacky". I've used that combo for well over 5 years and I've never had a pinch flat even on some very sharp heavy edges. Failing that, go tubeless. Fatmike did a guide a few years ago and it worked pretty well, but was quite expensive from what I remember.

You get what you pay for. It's not so much the case now, but quite a while ago, if you bought a cheap trials frame, the geometry would be utter shite. Onza springs to mind, in roughly 2001-2003 basically all thier frames rode quite badly compared to what was also on the market at the same time, then they sort of caught on and decided to copy Koxx with the Levelboss/T-pro and then Zoo! with the Pitbull/T-Rex and the rest is history, now we even have Zona and all that. Even still, why do they still make and sell the T-Bird? They should just put all the cheaper parts onto a T-Pro frame and get rid of the T-Bird all together. Could be slightly biased, as I'm not a mod fan

I made one a long long time ago in my later years at school, I'll see if I can find some pictures or digg out the stand and take some. It's pretty good actually, I still use it every now and again. Has height adjustability, removable legs, and a tool tray etc. I used a test tube clamp from the labs for the clamp, and it worked really well haha.

Caustic Soda, get it from a plumbers shop. Just dip the rim in and the anodised coating will pretty much just fall off.

www.wheelpro.co.uk/spokecalc You'll need the ERD of the rim, which you can either measure yourself spoke hole to spoke hole (effectively just the inside diameter of the rim), and the hub flange measurements of the King. The Hope ones are actually on the wheelpro site (wheelpro calculatr used to be on Hopetech, don't know if it still is)

I've put on a stone in about 6 months because of getting wasted. My theory is that the extra weight gain is due to Ken's Fried Chicken's "Mega Meal Deal" with chicken burger, 6 wings, 2 fries and can of soft drink, that I always end up eating after clubbing when I've got the munchies. Damn Turks.

with left, ride with right.

Hayfever is for pussies Quite a lot of people have it on here though!

Nice. More to the point though, 900 isn't short, I know someone that used to have a 895 stock Echo.

Shwal-b. I pronounce it "Maxxis Dual Ply Super Tacky"

Rich! It's me, Sam! Hows Bournemouth life? Yeah I think I should dust mine off too! See you there.

You must have hulk hands or something, I've had the same Magura since 2002! Is it just the blade snapping or the actual lever housing? Is this on the newer design ones?

Hahaha.

I'm not much of a roadie, but I'm getting fat and I think buying a road bike will solve all my problems Anyway, I purely can't be bothered to spend more than 250 quid as I "might" not use it as much as I'd like to and whats the point really of spending any more. So, I've been pondering over this; http://www.bikes2udirect.com/B2102.html Doesn't look too bad. CB used to have a good name back in the day, don't know about now though. I think it's the best I'll get for the price to be honest but what do you think?

I might come to this!

Just don't do it like ash

Yeah you've pretty much summed up college right there. Uni is something different.

I love you too Ash. We went and rode pompey and met up with those other guys that were gonna ride ports. Aiiiiii.

Me and a friend are gonna come down!

Eels... Eels... Eels up inside you.
