You can, that’s not what I meant though. Risk of falling of a bike and braking your back is 3%, risk of braking your back when falling from the side of a building is 60%. Those percentages are guesses but that’s the idea and why I don’t think the comparisons fair. Insurance for builders is expensive until work takes place on levels higher then a forth story, not because insurance agency are cutting them a deal but because the difference between ground level building work and side of a multiple story building work is paying out for hospital bills vs paying for a funeral. And in a tube station there's a lot more contingency in place for those situations. When falling without a rope contingency is absent in a lot of cases. I don’t think I’m generalizing too much here since it is something I’ve done a fair bit of. Just took the one time of being on top a building and watching a friend trip too close to the edge for my liking to think it wasn’t for me. So yea, perspective

I'm mainly speaking about the whole thing of people dangling off a buildings and crazy Russians. I wouldn't say climbing up a crane ladder is safer then any of those things you mentioned just because the penalty for failure is worse in almost all instances. Fall off a ladder without a harness you're more screwed then getting in an accident on the motorway. My perspectives changed quite a bit and now instead of seeing photos of people doing dangerous climbing stuff and thinking 'that's awesome' I just end up thinking about their parents if they fell and broke their spine. And I'm fairly sure cranes are all private property so climbing them is the same as trespassing, and I'm a big fan of CRBs come back clean. I'm probably speaking about the minority of urban climbers who are doing the crazy stuff but my perspective still makes me think potential risks outweigh the potential benefits. And it might not be the same but practising climbing in purpose built places or just less private owned areas is a much better alternative.

Shhh you're revealing my plan

I kind of hate urban climbing. I love climbing and free running kind of things but it just looks stupid to me. I just don't get why a photo with your feet dangling off the edge is worth risking your life for, and I know it's one of those 'uh man there's just nothing like it kind of things' but I value my life enough to not risk it to that extent. Plus I don't want to get a criminal record, so there's that too.

I wrote this topic on Chrome and then thought the same thing, so I went back thinking no point in this topic but it's here as well now. Something's gone terribly wrong.

Just the standard BB7 ones. I had tapped it with my hand and there wasn't any movement but when I found my multi tool with the torx they were lose enough to make a difference. Who wooda thought

Getting an error message when I like posts in Chrome, but when I log in in Explorer it's gone through. So not really an issue but...

Yep, I'm retarded. Rotor bolts. I retract the 'I'm not embarrassed' part in the first post

Basic question but two week old bike and want to get everything right this time round, not even embarrassed I've been around a while and still asking this stuff Holding down the front brake front wheel does that thing when it moves backwards and forward and inch. Trialtech hub, BB7, what do I do?

I feel like we're missing Tarty tees and stickers

So I’m bored and thinking, what have been the ten most defining products to have been released and used for trials biking since the beginning of recognisable trials up to now? I’m thinking a Fourplay’s got to be one of them and HS-33s another. Please discuss.

It's less effort for me to make fun of conspiracy theories then actually investigate them and make my own opinion

The feeling when you look up and there's chemtrails every where and realise you hate the secret world order ruling over us as if we're merely pawns in a game of chess being played by enslaved ants while they watch with a knife to the ants throat saying 'keep killing that other ants pawns or I'll kill you'.

If you're saying well into your thirties then it's worth considering. I've known a few people to get premature menopause in their late thirties and in my very limited experience it's something that weighs on some women minds more then us infinite ammo guys realise.

You know about menopause right?

At this point I'm not going to be content til someone gets glassed in the face.

When they don't dispose of their tampons in a way that means our dog can get them so I come upstairs and find my sisters used tampon all over my floor.

Now you've mentioned that, could you (or whoever) explain that? Is that when they're able to go straight to rear? Does the rear wheel get the traction from the vertical edge?

I normally use a beefier chain one as well, that's pretty good wrapping round the bars a few times. The think with the Hiplock is it doesn't look like it's that secure anyway. A lot of d locks aren't that much harder to brake with better tools so it gets to the point that if someone who knows what they're doing wants your bike, they're going to get your bikes.

Get a pallet and have it at a slope against a wall and gradually make it more vertical as you progress. Considering I've never master them without a pallet, that's all I'm going to say

I was well excited when I got validated. PDFd that email and everything

I kind of get it, but it seems like it's solving a problem that isn't that much a problem. I prefer the twirly cable ones because you can get both wheels, frame, saddle and a helmet locked with those with a long one. Plus they're easy enough to wrap round the bars or whatever. But for D lock people, why not just get a beefy one and use a frame mount?

Seems to me your problem is compulsive list making

Considering my various issues it's a risky strategy but when I get home there'll be an Inspired waiting for me. Sitting at my desk is pretty hard right now.

broken arms Edit: Obligatory thanks for the like kind sir!
