Hi guys,
This might be interesting to someone...
Made some leather grips the other day, I have been quite liking them so did a little 'instructable thing' on it.
Check it out here: www.instructables.com/id/Leather-Mountain-Bike-Grips/.
It's in a little contest thing, so if you're feeling kind vote for it

Thanks guys,
sounds like I'm going to have to v booster it.
-
I have a fairly decent 2 bolt booster at the moment.. The problem is that the lower bolts pivot outwards quite a bit..
any other ideas?

Hi all,
I am trying to get a bit of rigidity in my magura / pashley 26MHz combo.. Am i right in thinking the new wave of bake boosters will not rk, being designed for four bolt frames? Does anyone have any advice/ experience in this area?
thanks guys.

Hi everyone.
I am not sure how many of you will be interested in this (I think it is only really appropriate for people in Wales), and all comments on the subject are very welcome. Basically there is a petition being delivered to the Welsh Assembly asking for better bike provisions. Difficulty with taking bikes on buses and trains being my personal gripe.. anyway to sign the petition go here: http://www.wyfsd.org/cycle/index.php
And it goes along the lines of:
We the people of Wales, would like to see better provision for bikes, on trains, buses and roads in Wales.This would mean fitting more bike racks on buses and insuring them adequately so they can be used; it means more space on train carriages for bikes to be parked; it means more cycle lanes, especially in town centres; and it means helping to change the aggressive attitudes of cars on the road.
I would have added on trials parks and dry bike lockers in towns if it was me
any other ideas?Cheers,
Steve.

hay grantham, that would be cool...
It just happened - general fatigue I guess. Heard it snap on a small drop off - where there was little braking..
Shame.. is martin out riding with you Dave?
-
I was running a Hope M4 and my brisa disk tab has snapped. Has this happen to anyone else? If so where did you get a replacement - how long did it take? Is Bikedock still the only place doing brisa?
Does anyone know where I could get a new one?
Thanks people.

The vid is now back up on the site, so you can get it from there to.
Woop woop.

Hay guys, thanks for the positive feedback. I will try and get 'Martin and the daddy pants' vid up soon - just moved house (still in aber) an haven't got the computer setup yet.
I think the site may have some changes - may put some freerunning/ parkour type stuff up.
As for riding, we are getting back into it - and I am finding out how much things have moved on after being out of the loop for some time. All good...

The TrialsRide website is back on line for anyone that would like a bit of a nostalgic experience.

LOL. Interesting fart related antics. The grip looks good to me because it feels good to my hand. The ringlets are not all perfectly even, as they could have been, because the slight regularities make it grippy and add a touch more give.
DannyBazz - noting particularly wrong with rubber, but the ones I had stained my hands black every ride - that was just the ones I had, does no one else get that?
They were also loads more sweaty-slippy - again that could just be my weird paws.
