@Mark W I've snapped a couple of those. I put it down to the twisting forces across it's long length, rather than pulling forces from the QR cam.

I'm going to give a QR a go on the front, for in and out of the car reasons. Haven't used one on the trials bike for years, but I don't remember having any issues when is was done up properly.

Cool riding, cool spot. Loved it!

Try again.

You don't see many of those forks anymore. What a bummer! There are probably still a few of the red ones floating about though. Inspired forks also go pretty well on these, or Echo Urbans will do the job. I still have one of these frames in the loft and it's in really nice condition. I refuse to get rid of it.

Didn't like it. I will accept a little bit of cringe, but not when I cringe pretty much the whole way through. But not being 12, i'm not exactly the target audience. Such a shame, because he is really talented on a bike.

Check the chain line. It sounds like it's a bit out and biased towards the smaller cogs. I needed to use some narrow chain ring spacers to make it as close to prefect as I could, when I converted mine from 3x to 1x.

It's London. I would be more surprised if there wasn't violent crime.

They must love you over at Inspired HQ.

Are those style tensioners tucked away enough, out of harms way?

Black with red graphics and red seat was always my favourite.

Good thread Ross. I went through some old MBUKs last year and scanned some pages of interest, before they all got thrown out. So I may have some to add this weekend, if I get time.

Blew some cob webs out of my big bike today. Probably hadn't ridden it in about 4 months.

That looks scary. Cranks usually have less material further up. Edit: Plus, wouldn't it make them too short. 22mm is quite a difference.

Cheers for the replies guys. I wasn't expecting it to go scientific. Lots to think about.

Since getting back into riding trials reasonably often about 2 years ago, I have been struggling with finger ache (middle and ring finger on both hands). This always used to happen to me if I had been riding all day, but now it happens quite quickly and ends my riding prematurely. I know that a lot of these problems can be grip and lever position related, but where do I start? Thicker or thinner grips? In, out, up or down on the lever positions?

What do you use as pesticides? My old man has been getting into a bit of home vegetable growing recently and insects keep eating it.

I thought that it was a step in the right direction and i'm glad that they listened to the criticism. But I found the episode boring.

No Iggy Pop?
