  1. I reckon a slammed pivotal seat/post is the way forward. The Inspired combo isn't going to be available for over a month I believe so might be worth just sticking in a plastic mini until then...
  2. *Awaits the wrath of Coxx*
  3. I'd advise against using a screwdriver. Screwdrivers are hardened steel which means that it's going to totally muller the soft alloy headset cups. I use a cut off seatpost stuffed through the headtube (spreads the load a bit and is also equally soft alloy) or a random alloy rod I picked up somewhere. Also just hitting it with a hammer and moving it round. Once it starts to move, you'll be able to see the cup move slightly at the edge you've hit, so then you hit the opposite side to level it up and continue until it comes flying out . Good luck!
  4. I'm still in shock that Sam subscribes to MBUK!!
  5. Yeah I know. I haven't bought an issue for around 6 or 7 years although mainly because of the pants they used to put in it, however when you're in it it's a bit different! Also, the photographer reckoned that the mag's been taken over by a new editor dude so there may be slightly less of the rubbish that used to get in. Maybe. Yeah I know... but I'm an impatient sod.
  6. Sweeeet. Will try and contain myself
  7. Oops, my bad- missed that. Anyway, still open to scans if anyone's feeling kind! And of course, everyone should buy the relevant mag when it appears in shops
  8. Did Kot ever do a mod frame? I've always liked the look of the frames and it's DD too...
  9. ISA's are quite good. Can save up to £3600 tax free in any tax year and it's good to see how much of that you can stash away. Also if you go for an account without a cash card it makes it much harder to 'dip in' when you feel like it. How old are you? Summer jobs wise, in Southampton quite a lot of people drive new cars and vans from the ships to storage facilities around the city and vice versa. They pay over £10 an hour but you obviously have to have a driving license... If that's not possible I spent a summer stacking shelves at Asda on night shift. Money was good and you didn't have to fanny around with customers. Mind numbing for sure but if all you want is easy money it doesn't come much easier!
  10. How come I've never heard of him?! Looks like an absolute monster! Looking forward to seeing some vids from the Trialtech boys and some fancy new components too!
  11. Nah, fraid not. Just a shoot they did back in April...
  12. Nah, should be a 7 page article on trials with pics from a Pompy ride... Has literally just been released I think.
  13. Ok, I've just been told that there's a good article in the new MBUK that should've reached subscribers today. I'm going to buy it when it's in the shops but was wondering if any kind people on here might scan the article in... 7 pages on trials if I've heard correctly... Cheers in advance
  14. Damn. That just makes me want to get a BMX again!! How the f**k can he fakie so frickin' fast and not end up on his arse? Nuts.
  15. It's gaaawwwwjjjuuussss... Seriously nice dude .
  16. Hmm... I still reckon Deng's bought a joblot of standard Maggy cylinders and has a hundred little Chinese children in a shed somewhere polishing them up for a few grains of rice
  17. Also, those new Deng cylinders look remarkably like standard Magura ones that have been polished...
  18. Lol at finding the shortest kid around to stand next to the wall .
  19. But the reason race cars/bikes use slicks is because on a dry, very smooth circuit they will provide maximum grip since more rubber is in contact with the track. Drag is not really an issue as the increase in mechanical grip far outweighs any aero advantage. On anything but smooth concrete a slick on a trials bike doesn't seem like too good an idea! Particularly on natural. However, having said that, I've seen how Stan and Ali were riding with the front Try-All with all the knobbles cut off and again with Vincent's one so there's obviously more to it than meets the eye... Bike looks seriously sweet Stan! Some interesting mods going on there...
  20. Hmm... Maybe because he's an ex world champion who's been on GasGas for years and is regularly doing promotional work for the company? A bank...
