  1. How come the valve comes through the join of the rim? The hole for the valve is always opposite the join... for good reasons I thought!
  2. Have done bigger on walls obviously but that's the only one I have on vid. Meh.
  3. £950.00 frame only... ahahahahaha, that's just obscene!! I'll just wait until the Kamel design filters down to the next PR equivalent...
  4. Strange choice for a vid comp thread... mmmkay... Trials-Forum Video -> Full View • Download • Upload Only vid I have of me doing a wheel swap No idea how high it is though.
  5. Good stuff, what you got your eye on car wise? The best people, of course, get 3 minors...
  6. Ho-ly shit that mini's got a lot of negative camber on it!! Does that much actually help?! I used to run leccy RC's- had a Kyosho Raider buggy and then a Tamiya Vanessa's Lunchbox (hell yeah!) monster truck thing. Keep thinking about getting another one but I've already got too many toys and I'd just break it...
  7. Ok, that definitely looks better, and I reckon with a carefully chosen seat that will look sweet In answer to Mr Fish, no the frame's aren't available with disc mounts, 4 bolt only. Dave
  8. Haha, good choice- my dad's mad on the Gulf Porsche 917's of the 60's/70's and I think he nearly wet himself when Aston revealed the new livery!! Blue looks like it ought to be a little paler maybe but looks sweet. Also, if you ever get bored of the Gulf theme you can slap some Irn Bru stickers on it!
  9. Doesn't work in my opinion... nice build, nice bike but the pink just doesn't look right for some reason...
  10. Ok, kudos to anyone who can remind me of the trials rider who used to ride demo's etc on a Peugeot trials bike back in ~1997 ish... Met him a couple of times and gave some really good advice when I was just starting up. Dave
  11. Did I used to have an OTM (Observed Trials Magazine for people who haven't been riding since the stone age) that had a picture of Mike Steidley riding one in a river in Japan...? For some reason I think I may have! Mzarek frame Dave
  12. Nice. Use the search, plenty in here on them.
  13. Other than fixing the object error, have you tried fiddling the 'smooth angle' and 'surface deviation for 3d solids' in the geometry tab and maybe the auto-smooth threshold in the spline rendering tab?
  14. Is there no way of changing the tolerances of the exported AutoCAD file? And have you tried exporting as a different format and importing it back into 3dsm? Just stabs in the dark by the way 'cos I'm used to messing about between CAD systems but not the ones in question.
  15. To be perfectly honest, without any malice, I just don't 'do' Viz products. I'm sure their perfectly good but there's just something that I can't put my finger on which means I've never bought a Viz product. But yeah, I got the controls, a can of 'appliance white' paint and clear lacquer from halfords and it's all good
  16. I ran the halfords ones for a while but they just kinda disintegrated fairly rapidly. Plus I had to use a load of tape to keep them on and stop them slipping which still didn't work 100% as water just soaks straight through to the bars. If you get them glue them on and be prepared to change them every couple of weeks...
  17. I'm running painted Echo Control's which seem really good. Nice chunky steerer and good weight:strength. Plus fully bargainous at £75 Dave
  18. Yeah but the mounts will be in the wrong place! 24" wheel... 26" forks
  19. To be honest I'd stay clear of the ET. They were ground breaking in their day but were prone to snapping. Any second hand frame you pick up now (or even a new one) will snap sooner rather than later. There are also better options available now, the Inspired being, in my opinion (biased since I own one) is the cream of crop... Forks wise, pass. Just get over your fear and run a disc!! Dave
  20. Are you on crack? From what I can see every point you've made is rubbish. Except for the well done to Damon and James bit.
  21. Oh yeah, I know, but it won't sound like a hairdryer which is by far the most important thing! Although all the possible upgrades would make it usable around town if nothing else. Meh, wait 'til you're 17 and get a geared 125.
  22. Shame you look like such a numpty riding one on the roads though... If I was 16 and didn't want a chav scoot, I'd have to get myself something like this... Although maybe in 4 stroke so it didn't sound like a hairdryer
