  1. thats lush! i might try the TT high risers on my 24"
  2. Going single front ring on my XC bike (before using a chain device) : Removed inner and outer chainrings, removed the shifter and cable but kept the front mech and pincing up a bit of cable to hold the tension on the mech then adjusted the limit screws for using as a guide worked well but chain would slip off occasionally on rough trails or when back pedalling. And on the trials bike i have tall brass nuts like you would find for plumbing as booster spacers. My tensioner's cage is slightly bent so ive filed and modded the inside of it to prevent the chain catching on the edge of it too much ;P
  3. you can only fit a 180mm rotor on the ashton and its a direct mount (set at +20) so you cant use any adaptors
  4. I shall be heading up on Friday afternoon. See everyone bright and early on Saturday morning, heres hoping the weathers kind to us
  5. Love that Gary! Gold detailing is nice and subtle
  6. Not too far off my Ashton just with a higher bb. Im tempted by the Because Street as well. If i had the money i would be interested in buying as a second bike for riding brakeless.
  7. Thats still bread-like
  8. Bread for ducks is the death of ducks! Nice video though and no music makes a nice change and the black and white filming was certainly different. Love the website too! Keep up th work!
  9. My birthday is next Thursday so i might bring a big cake for the wekend and everyone can have a slice!
  10. yeah he was experimenting with some massive lights il get some pics of the bmx crew the lighting in those pics are ace!
  11. sorry, my bad it hasnt changed my phone was just being weird sorry, my bad it hasnt changed my phone was just being weird
  12. it appears the mobile version has changed and looks all a bit clumsy now
  13. I dont mind my Pimplites im quite happy with them but my brake spacing wont allow any rims over 32mm yeah whats the geo? Im kinda interested in getting one of these frames if i can find a good one second hand, i believe its not made anymore which is why i can find anywhere that sells them new.
  14. Hey man, yeah i have an Ashton Effect, as a starter bike the frame is excellent, im no starter ive been riding trials for like 3 years and at a decent ability and i feel the frame is great for my riding style which is a mix of street and trials. If you get one i would suggest replacing the narrow bars, sprocket and tensioner first and doing something to improve the brakes (y).

  15. yep that would be me who has an effect!
  16. Lovely colour, nice and fresh! Great build dude, are those Pimps or Pimplites?
  17. Holy crap! Defineltey one of the best 24" vids ive seen in a long time. Its nice to see a top (if not the best) comp rider be creative and style it up, the guy has incredible skill. This is exactly the style of riding im working towards but its gonna take years of practise (as well as bottle ) to get as good as that. Manual onto the rail was insane im gonna watch this vid again..and again...and again..and again i dont think i'll get bored of it.
  18. yeah member location and bike info should return!

  21. Im going to the Mound! And im gonna man up and ride intermediates this year (i have been practsing ye know )should be a good turn out at the first round. Kev, you should get my club membership form soon!
  22. Correct me if im wrong...some of those bikes had suspension forks? Definetely old skool when trials bikes had seats and gears and the X-Up abubaca is certainly a move you hardly see nowadays ond one im trying to keep alive!
  23. Probably a repost but i found this on Pinkbike, just thought id share it considering the crazy amount of Danny Mac stuff on here at the mo. Gives us an insight to his choice of parts on his bike and answers why hes running dual disc now....Enjoy! Link
