  1. Do you have pictures of any you have done. I'm really quite keen to get these forks to a usable condition as they are getting pretty hard to come by these days.
  2. I think the main problem with trials is more to do with the image then how it is organised and run. We ride stupid bikes and a lot of top rides wear ridiculous clothing. I think that is probably a big reason why danny mac is so popular. He doesn't look like a tit. I reckon if he was riding an echo control for axample in his first BIG video, it would'n't have had the same impact. I get more comments/questions about my riding when I ride an inspired. When I am riding a seatless bike, mostly what I get is "where is your seat?". Trials just isn't cool compared to other disciplines to the general public.
  3. I used to have one of them. I sold it years ago but recently got it back and now my brother is using it. I loved it. It was one of my favourite "pure" trials bikes that I have owned. Little tip. If you file the dropouts slightly, you can run a 18:15 gear ratio without the need of a tensioner.
  4. I have some cannonade fatty forks with a steerer tube that is too short. The steerer tubes are just pressed and pinned in place aren't they? Can they be replaced very easily?

    How good is OSMC? I'm running Openelec media centre on mine at the moment.
  6. Charge spoon seems popular. I went and had a look at one at my local bike shop and they too said they get great reviews about them. They didn't have black in stock though, so I think I will hit up wiggle. £5 off too. Cheers guys.
  7. Nah, plenty of people on here ride proper bikes too. Gel ones tend to be a bit more expensive then the standard foam ones. I have already over spent on this bike, i'm trying to keep the cost down a bit for the last few parts.
  8. The saddle on my commuter is rock hard and really uncomfortable. Any recommendations for a good, comfortable saddle which doesn't break the bank?

    Raspberry Pi

    Mine has arrived. Didn't realise it uses a microsd though. So I have to get one of them before I can play with it.

    I just ordered 2 at work. One for development and one for me personally. Should get it tomorrow.

    Raspberry Pi 2 http://www.raspberrypi.org/raspberry-pi-2-on-sale/ 6x faster and the same price. I'm definatley going to get one. The speed of the original one stops me from using it as much as I would like.
  12. Wouldn't something like that mean that the lever would have to be pulled in further to work?
  13. Loved it. I liked how they centred it on another discipline other then trials. Sam did good.

    Trailer look shit.

    Films!?

    Agreed. Just come back from watching it. Like with inception though, I am going to need to watch it again when it comes out on blu ray to fully understand everything that was going on (especially the ending).
  16. Loved all the skinny lines! Always been a favourite of mine in street videos. Everything was awesome. Best video I have seen in ages.

    anyone seen interstellar yet?

    Is there something we need to know? I wasn't going to bother watching 22 jump street. But now i'm thinking maybe I should.

    I have used echo urbans, echo pure?, ashton forks, trialtech forks and inspired forks on these frames. Inspired forks would be my recommendation.

    This frame and fork combo goes so well together as well. If anybody happens to have both lying around and haven't already, definitely try it!

    Ashton

    Thanks fellas. With the inspired forks on, the wheelbase is 1045.
  22. I like the shape of the head tube cutout. Everything else I don't like.

    Whilst my hex frame is getting some much needed TLC, I decided to build this beauty back up to ride in the meantime. Nothing else has been able to hit the same spot that these frames do for me.
