  1. Hi, I recently bought a new full build rim, when it came the spokes were loose so I put it to my local bike shop.

    they were all nice and tight.

    when I was riding today i realised they have come loose again what could be causing this??

    spokes on new wheels always come loose in the first couple of rides because they arn't stretched yet, just go round your rim and tigheten all of your nipple up equally a little at a time or your rim will be out of true, remember aswell that your looking at the thread from underneath on the nipples so anti clockwise is to tighten

    i think you should get some scaff pole cranks and see how much longer they last at the size you at now jon you big heffer tongue.gif LY !

  3. Forgive the crude graph...but it pretty much speaks for itself. As someone who isnt that in the know about such things, is this the case?

    Just from what ive read over the last however long on here, 20" and 26" seem to be the optimum size?

    wrong, you cant do trials on a bmx or a downhill bike can you, its all about the geo of the thing, 24's are shorter and lower so there fliky and easier to handle on two wheels making them harder to do more 'trials' related stuff

  4. Lately I've been popping ibuprofen for my back before every ride....

    Today it got to the point where I took one during the actual ride, I really need to go see a doctor about it to be honest...
