  1. Spinning is so much more intense than you could ever realistically achieve in the real world in such a short space of time. It's utterly brutal I hate spinning
  2. SO.MUCH.FUN I rented a 125 scooter a couple of years ago while on holiday in Majorca with the lady. Spent the day hooning around the island checking out different beaches etc. I had an awesome time, she feared for her life!
  3. That would be Dave Kerr I believe
  4. What cams are you using? That'd be the Wipperman 1G8 monster http://www.extrauk.co.uk/product/detail/Wippermann/Single_Speed/633/
  5. OK on the front, wouldn't want to run a set on the rear

    Weight weenies

    We have some Ti spokes knocking around here at work, and a local BMX racing company were happy to cut them to length for me. In the end though I opted out. I've heard a lot of negative reviews of ti spokes, they stretch a lot more when building so can be an arse to deal with in a trials build where semi-regular tweaking is required, cost alot, and are less durable
  7. Every time I see a post from you it just makes me sad about how long it's been since you last put out a video :'(
  8. 610 is 3/32" 510 is 1/8" Reason most riders is use the 610 is because that is the same size as the singlespeed freewheels, chainrings and sprockets we all use. There's nothing to be gained in using the wider 1/8" chain
  9. Well it's certainly different....
  10. Ha, I first read that as You'll soon find a man In all seriousness though, chin up dude. Keep busy and don't dwell on things, got to push forward
  11. This. Spouting about it on said forum doesn't get anything sorted. I'd never post images or complain about a broken part before pursuing and sorting the warranty case - if applicable
  12. Urm, what?! In our small-ish group of riders from around the Devon/Somerset area I know of 4 riders who've snapped spade forks, myself included
  13. I killed 4 Tensile freewheels and their Prototype 108 click in around 3 months. My last Echo SL lasted 2 years, and my current one has been on there for around 18 months with no issues

  15. Trials is an extremely niche sport, with low manufaturing units despite a (comparatively) high number of manufacturers. If the same amount of R+D went into trials components as do the rest of cycling components, the prices we have to pay would be even higher. I'm not saying this is a good thing, but it's the way it is - whether you complain about it in every Trials-Forum thread or not
  16. You do moan about faaarking everything though.
  17. Many steel frames don't. Prevents exposed metal in areas water/moisture cant really escape from.
  18. My rim tape is going to look awesome
