    What vee you running on the back, I asked about the possibility of doing it on my zoo and the experts started running their mouths like.

    So it is possible, and looks like it works, thanks experts.

    Anywho enough bitchin

    So whats the set up?

    Cheers

    I'ts just an Avid sd7 with Onza vee adaptors and Inspired pads, managed to get an Echo booster on there now, and I'm getting Heatsink yellows and grinding the rim :)

    get some 6mm think steel and make one to fit, use a hacksaw to make a neater cut. all you'll need is a decent hacksaw, file, and a drill.

    Thats a good idea actually, thanks :)

    are you using, 4bolt-vee mounnts ?is there no way to mount a maggie booster under the mounts with some modifying ?

    Yeah I am, and I've never thought of that, could work, but as craigjames said, doesn't the majority of the flex occur in the posts?

    I've found it wont remove most of the flex which occurs from the vee posts themselves, hence why you need a proper vee booster on the top. I've only ever used a Salsa carbon booster, but there was plenty of space with that. Might have to be a custom job unless you can find a Salsa or Shimano booster?

    Are they wide enough to fit my set up though? I've seen them on 24"s and whatnot, but I've never seen a vee booster on a mod, might just have to make one, seems like the only option :)

    Cheers guys!

    I dont name things, I just come up with a sort of alternate way of saying it, for example, Ipood for my Ipod, or flacebo (said like placebo) for Facebook, and things like that, its not that I have a name for them, its just the way I say it whenever it comes up in whatever situation. I have no idea why but my brain seems to enjoy doing it...

  7. Am I Sad For Sitting In Front Of A Computer Screen All Night On A Week

    I go out and ride trials, come in and go on a forum about trials, I sometimes think its a bit nerdy and sad, like some of my friends are out clubbing and having a good time with their night (provided its Friday, Saturday or holiday etc..) although I'm not old enough to go out clubbing yet, I could ring other people and go out with them, doing other things, but instead I go out, ride alone and enjoy it more.

    I don't think its sad, I just see it as a cult thing, as gay as it sounds I feel I have some sort of loyalty to keep with this forum, although I'm not well known on here, and I might just be seen as one of the however many members on here that just contributes in their own little way with comments here and there, i like to think I'm helping a small community grow and develop in a small way, where i can express myself to people i don't know and be comfortable with it, Tf seems like a big safe haven of the internet for me, everyone seems nice on here (bar the odd fanny's) and I'm glad to be a part of it :)

  8. Does Riding Make You Happy, Or Does Being Good At Riding Make You Happ

    in Trials Chat

    I've been riding for almost four years now, and i don't see myself getting any better than I am now, not in an "I'm too good to get any better" sort of thing, I just don't see myself progressing any further than I am now in riding, but it doesn't stop me from riding at all, I prefer to ride alone when i want to try something out of my comfort zone, I just feel I can concentrate more with just me, my music and my riding. But I don't think I would have started if I didn't have my friends with me, taking an interest in the sport as much as I did at the time, and now they've all given up and moved on because of cars, jobs etc. I've just adapted riding around my job amongst other things, but I still don't see myself selling my bike and giving up, its just what I've always done, it's what everyone seems to know me for, and I still enjoy it as much as i did when i got my first trials bike, IMO if you cant ride alone and enjoy it, you don't truly enjoy just riding, but some people are different.

    It's now a lifestyle for me, I wouldn't be able to just stop, I enjoy riding in any shape or form. :)

  24. Owe'd Money Problem.

    And it's not his dads fault? Or is his dad just not willing to pay? I mean if I stand my mates bike somewhere and it gets runover by someone I'd not really be willing to pay it myself as I can't help what the other guy is doing in his car or whatever it was...

    Well the way I see it is that it's in his hands at the time, and if it got ran over then it must have been in a road, which is his fault because he should have been more responsible with someone elses bike, and put it on a path at least...

    But I don't really wanna pay for something I didn't break, regardless of whether I should or shouldn't have let him borrow it I didn't damage it, and he agreed to pay for any damage if anything happened, and it did so he should pay up for everything, not just buy me bits and hope I'll forget about the hub, but I dont wanna build up the new bits with a cracked shell that might compramise the strength of the new wheel, thus possibly breaking it again and having to pay for new stuff again, so my bike is currently in bits waiting for money that might not even turn up, I just don't want to be mugged off that's all. :/
