  1. Have you tried media player classic, makes almost anything play. (Y) EDIT Just got round to posting, I downloaded the vid, and it made me want to go ride sooo much it was silly. So I went and had the best ride in ages. I wanna thank anyone at all involved in that video for restoring my love of trials. (Y)
  2. The triton site has all that info, I was browsing it the other night. (Y) Just wondering, what front tyre is that, looks good. (Y)
  3. I really liked Ben's toxsin with the super light front wheel, came up so easily that I almost fell off. :'( I also liked Ali C's Echo, felt sort of indestructable as did Iolo's Levelboss, but I still think slack head angles are gay. :'(
  4. No, that's not weight then is it?, It's downwards force, weight only holds true for what is caused by gravity. :P
  5. Try putting a wee washer under your brake bolt, might work, never tried it. :P
  6. Impossible, you have to get to about 2/3rds of the speed of light before relativistic effects take effect.
  7. I'd hink your right as the disc would smooththe girnd down much faster.
  8. Bloody hell, I feel respected. :P :P Suddenly it all makes sense, ta for that.
  9. Could it be that Sam sidehops to the left and is fed up of killing rotors? :P
  10. It doesn't matter where your body weight is in bb height in theory, do a force diagram the pivot is the axle of the back wheel, the force down is you on bb, if you shift the bb up 2 inches it still needs the same force to displace you the same distance (ignoring the negligible change in gravitationla force). I've just realised the only reason high bb frames are easier to pull up is cos you're already closer to the balance point. This rubbishes my previous theory oddly enough. And I feel insulted that you think I'm not inteligent or qualified enough to know what I'm talking about. :$ He speaks the truth, the shorter the stem the easier the fron pops up as you can shift your body weight further back. :)
  11. Nah, cos point X has nowt to do with how hard it takes to turn, the only resistance to your turning moment is your wieght and the friction in the bearings of your hub, assuming brake is off of course.
  12. Well, as I understand it short stays make the front end of a bike come up more easily, however too short and it gets silly hard to bunny hop without looping out. A long frame would in theory make it easier to hop as you would have more leverage, but with a long frame one needs more exagerated movements to get the same effect, this is due to the fact that the lever is longer so the displacement on it has to be larger, this means it will take longer to lift the front end. In conclusion a short bike with shortish stays is best. This is because the bunnyhop is a fast explosive move, you need to make fast movements without the worry of looping out, but you also want the front end to come up reasonably quickly so a long bike to act as a large lever is out of the question. High bb frames eh, well I have a wee theory on them, as you see if one makes the chainstays angle one gets shorter "effective" chainstay length (red line), I think.
  13. Fine, make a cheese toastie, but add lee and perrins. :P
  14. The cheese and banana toastie. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Make regular cheese toastie, but add in sliced fresh banana, beautiful. :P

    I'm fairl sure that onza do 21 tooth chainrings?? :P
  16. Decapitation is actually a specific form of amputation involving the head.
  17. I take it drinking something isn't clearing it, what about strecthing out the affected are incase you've trapped a muscle?

    Tyres

    2.7 are far too big, and slow reezay last no time on street. I'd have a super tacky minion 2.5
  19. 661 skinz, the best warmest, tightest most comfortable gloves ever.
  20. 20/17=1.176 18/15=1.2 So no it's a different ratio, your new one being slightly harder.

    Bmx Bb

    Pretty much covers it, make sure you get the right spacing, make sure you grease the hell outta everything, bash the bearings in using a piece of wood as a barrier so you don't destroy them and last but not least, once the bearings are in far enough you can use the crank bolts to pull the bearings in the rest of the way.
  22. It could be one that slipped past quality control with a really slack head angle then oggy's put long forks on it?
  23. If you can't get a new spare one I suggest getting edd potts to make you one. (Y)

    I'll give you the sound advice of avoiding bikedock like the plague. :D
