Skoze

I officially like you I wear 661 Veggie shin guards, not too heavy, do the job nicely. A few more "freeridey" types wear dianese shin and knee guards, look really good imo, but are expensive. As long as it saves you from shin digs you'll be fine Matt EDIT: Not sure on where to get them over there, could try internet shops?

Don't see why not, the current 27 isn't excessive or anything What a random little vid..

He's got alot of bounce in him! BEAST Whats the song? I'm having a dunce moment, ........... by Muse.

dear lord that's insanely light! looks really smooth too. LOVE it

In that fourth picture Mr Tart looks about 3 Very nice pics none the less and some beasty riding

As it says really, just having a little play tomorrow. Shall be meeting Ben at civic, about 11. So if anyones about feel free to join us Matt

Im with Mr Rob. I wouldn't advise fiddling with it, but with King's alot of us clean them up throughly, use the lightest oil possible between the rings (instead of proper "drivering greas" or whatever it is, and a few people stretch the spring. That said, a King hub is completely different to a Pro II. They're loud enough as it is, leave it be

Im about 15 minutes in, eating a massive baguette and i officially approve Very nice mr Maike! Matt

For a start, what bike do you have?

Nice lil vid there and some good riding, just try and reduce the random hopping and it'll be awesome Wheres the lid?

Yup, the people i remember killing them were Ali C who is a beast, and Bigman who is like 20 stone? You'll be fine with one. EDIT: Just realised i called him Bagman

That was amazing! Really enjoyed watching it, your so powerful yet really smooth, those switches were just effortless and the up to fronts... I could go on all day but i'd fill up the thread with one reply. You sir, are a beast. Matt

Sunday'll be reet, will be more accesible to alot of the older guys who will be working on the saturday, and as Sam said, he could spend all of saturday setting it up As for the trains etc. Every Big London ride has been on a sunday, and loads of people still manage to get there

That's a good point if ever i heard one. Could possibly make it a sunday too as loads of people have work on saturday? Matt

He did ^

That was so enjoyable to watch, no ridiculous editing thingys, just how it was, really liked it! Matt

Alex your steed is 4 years old If your ever down Southend way and are on the lookout for bikes, get in touch and i'll sort out some different types/ styles for you to try

Hey! First things first, where abouts in Essex are you from? What kind of Bikes have you ridden previously? (this will help find what should be best for you). 1) What actually is the difference between Trials and BMX? I know the difference between the bikes, but what do you do thats different? - BMX is mainly a trick based sport, wheras in trials, they are intended for competition use, which basically involves getting from a to b without putting a foot down ("dabbing") in the fastest possible time. But alot of us ride alot of street as well, the skills used in the competitions are used on the steets and have a good time. 2) How practical are they for riding around town? I have read that they have little to no gears, but are they usually high or low geared? - Very low gearing! I personally run an 18 tooth front cog and a rear 15 tooth cog. Lots of power, no speed, so not brilliant for riding around town, especially since most modern trials bikes have no seats! 3) How much would I be looking at for a decent but basic bike? What kind of size wheel is best for starting? - You can pick up a well specced and looked after bike for well under £500 second hand, So for the price of an average complete bike new, you can get a very well specced high end bike from the classified section, or eBay!As for wheel size, it depends what you have ridden previously, if it is mountain bikes, then i would reccomend a 26", if it's BMX, then a 20" and if you've ridden Dirt etc.. probably a 24" - With regard to the "Normal" mountain bikes, they are what is called a stock bike, which means it has 26" wheels, which is what i ride! There are Stocks (26") Mods (20") and 24's (self-explanatory, 24"). Hope i have helped, any more questions just ask! Brilliant first post by the way, you'll be validated in no time Matt

She's raped our chubbs

Sorry to use the term "self righteous" i just love that word I really like it none the less, 'tis just my opinion. Hope you ride it like it deserves to be ridden

If that's all it takes then you have no hope with a female. I have to say it's very nice, but self-proclaimed righteousness doesn't do it for me. Black cranks and no tractor tyre and i'd hit it

Very nice! I realy do like the frames, any chance of a stock? Matt
