  1. Very impressive weight and looks nice as well. I though not having a sleeve would cause a problem as the two flanges can turn independandtly, I thought it might make the spokes flex more is this not an issue?I assume you have to run a radial spoke laceing?
  2. Personaly I wouldnt want to splash that much money on a fork unless it was very well established. If they have been designed and produced correctly they should be excellent, stiff and strong and they shoult not fatigue. I would be worried that if they did break they would give no little or no warning and go rather spectacularly. I think its definatly the material to be used but I would like to see it given a good battering before I would invest.
  3. I spoke to the owner a while ago and he said he was going to contact the police as people had been riding the cut stone. At least he's not blaming health and safety for a change.

    Flipp - Robo Booty.

    amazing your progression just doesnt seem to be slowing. 360 was cracking and some of the power moves were savage.
  5. thought that was well good. The editing was cool and the song went spot on good ride.
  6. Great video. Nice lines in there enjoyed the editing and just insain amounts of power! My favourite video by you damon had a diffrent feel and some amazing riding.
  7. Iv only played at it very breifly and it does seem a lot of fun in that you are limited in a lot of ways. Every thing makes you think and a spot that was over ridden and dull has some life again. yes you could do more on a bike with breaks but its like a fresh start. I don't think many riders are only running a breakless bike. I also think as a few people have said as well because it challenges you it makes you improve in other ways, could also help you learn to conserve speed and energy in a comp (if trials is all about being better than other people and not haveing fun).
  8. awsome video some cool line in there. The mod section was a bit mental edit wise but at least it was somthing diffrent. 24 section was rlly enjoyable to watch just smooth and creative all about the helmet feathers.
  9. Great video some awesome lines in there. Some imaginative stuff as well. Hope the comp went well.
  10. liked that! shame it was a little short though liked the down gap to front on the slope by flip and good to see you doing a couple of drop gaps revolver.
  11. I'm a big fan of the Halfords foams they took my hands a little while to get used to but there nice and thin grippy don't slide and they soak up sweat pretty well.
  12. liked that (had no sound). some proper good power stuff in there and huge pedal ups.
  13. A good free hub in my eyes is a lot better but it depends on the quality of the free wheel and the free hub which will be better of course. it will work if you run them both but u will have a bigger delay before u get engagement. I would probably send the freehub back and order a fixed hub though if i was you.
  14. good video needs much more ben in it though. shame the audio was out but some good riding there liked the 90 up the stairs and the rocks looked good be well keen on going up there some time.
  15. ill be up for it if there are people going. wont be ablke to ride the rocks though the place will be open.
  16. I have heard something about this i think some military people done it for a while or something. Have also heard of student doing something similar to get as much work in as possible around exam times. I think it would be hard to commit to fully to this sleeping pattern though due to other engagements. sleeping at college shouldn't be a problem there is always somewhere to go to sleep. the time u get spare time could also be frustrating middle of the night=cant ride and no body else about. if it works id deffo be tempted though. bendy
  17. Ti spokes will corrode badly with alloy nipples and once they 'jam up' wheels tend to die. If you do get Ti spokes make sure you use grease on the nipples and go for brass ones. Some Titanium alloys have much greater tensile yield stress than stainless steel but (I'm not dead sure on this.) Titanium is more brittle meaning if the spokes get bent about to much they will snap it will also mean there impact properties aren't as good. Id just like to say iv not used Ti spokes though I was just repeating what i have heard about them or know about Ti. Have you thought of using triple butted spokes?
  18. I googled it so IM not dead sure: The Glen Baildon, Shipley, Bradford BD17, UK Hoep to see you there.

    Crack...

    If you can't get hold of a welder or a replacement, to try and get the last bit of life out of the frame you could use a small drill bit and put a hole at each end of the crack to try and stop it growing and just keep a close eye on it.
  20. Any glue that i know of probably won't last too long. If its desperate though you could try chemical metal or an epoxy resin like "Araldite". If you know a welder you could try putting weld in the frame and cutting new threads though Bottom Bracket taps are pretty pricey i think.
  21. Im going to London now so guess ill be missing out. have to have a bunny/Loughborough/Nottingham ride soon.
  22. From what I understand they do. Did you get my text about wanting a set mike?
  23. I might be up for comming think im not goming to be going on the london ride any more due to other people pulling out and travel costs becoming a bit of a killer. I havn't riden Nottingham in ages so would be good to get up there ill ring chandler if i am going, dare say some other people from loughborough will be up for it as well. bendy
  24. I don't think any one has the right to kill somebody else. Would you honestly be able to push the button if it came down to it, if not you should not be in favor in my opinion. No court case can ever be 100%. I can see the argument that a lot of these people have done terrible things but are they in mentally good health to do them? Though I must say it would be a very strong deterrent and could save lives of innocent people which I had not thought of before this tread.

    A Trials Joke.

    The grind is being harsh and calling him names. I think its funny but didn't think it would get posted.
