  1. 1 - If something of breaks what is you first thought? Is it under warranty? Was it cheap or expensive? How long have I had it? If it was cheap or I've had it for quite a while, I'd probably just throw it and replace it 2 - Would you attempt to repair it? if not then why? If I deemed it something I could do, then yeah I'd have a fiddle. 3- During repair, would you do it properly or go for a cheap bodge solution? Again, I suppose it depends on the cost of the item. Any repair I'd bother taking on I'd want to do it properly. If it was just a quick fix until I replaced it, then I'd probably just bodge it 4 - What would you do if you if you couldn’t or didn’t want to repair it? Throw it out. Or, if I was getting another, then keep it/parts of it for spares 5 - What do you think is limiting products from being repair easily by the owner? Lack of spares made available from manufacturer/supplier. Moulded parts rather than multiple parts which can be taken apart 6- If you had a choice of buying something that is rated as being simple and easier to repair when broken, would you buy this over the standard? Or would it just be more hassle to do everything yourself? Again, depends on how much more it costs over a standard version and how much I'd use it. If it was an item I use all the time, rely on, or is expensive anyway, then I'd likely spend the extra
  2. This. Works really well, especially if the splines on the tool/bb are starting to round off
  3. Trials bikes in general aren't the easiest bikes to bunny hop due to their long reach. That said, try rolling your bars back. It will pull up a lot easier
  4. That's kinda the idea If it bothers you that much, just take 3/4 sets with you on a ride and change them
  5. True enough, I've always loved Pikes, and from what I've heard the new ones are even nicer. Just wish they weren't black
  6. Mint, but F**K I hate the look of black stanchions!
  7. What Ash said. The problem with 'proper' winter gloves is they are normally pretty thick and feel shit to ride with. Get a box of latex gloves and just wear them under your normal gloves. Your hands will sweat a bit, but at least you can still feel them
  8. Who was the chap on the stock?
  9. Anyone looking for a stock frame?

  10. I used to break Kool chains all the time. Never had one last more than 3 My last Z610 lasted 8 months before I changed it
  11. That made you angry?
  12. KMC Z610 HX - only chains I trust
  13. Our work team page http://uk.movember.com/team/1284573 We got a £100 donation yesterday for a customer!

    Fear of flying

    My sisters fiancé is the same. He freaks out and hates even when she flies on her own! They flew to Italy last year for a wedding and I think he took a couple sleeping pills to help him keep calm
  15. Would like to head down again sometime next summer. Be good to ride there one day and maybe Rinsay/Rinsey (sp?) another.
  16. On a side note, do you ride Lamorna often in the summer?
  17. Halloween Tunnel ride was siiiick

  18. +1 for a Yaris. They soldier on forever. A mate of mine bought an older Renault Clio (1995 ish) for £50 with the plan of only driving it for 6-month or so. He kept that car for 3 years! Never failed an MOT and never had any work doing to it
  19. Has Jack announced his 2014 sponsor yet? Considering he's also still riding for Kenny via Enterbike could we also be seeing him aboard one of these?
  20. It just needs everyone to take it up. There really is no excuse for everyone to still be making screw-on sprockets and freewheels anymore - it's SUCH a shit system
