oh my god.
That is so wrong.
If it was girls it wouldn't be weird but it's just weird.

Matts not here I am at my mothers today.
Thanks Muel (A) I'll try that.
Hannah, what does delete cookies do?

It's not working , it's in v3.1.
Oh well I'll try deleteing cookies.

I havn't been on here for a good while and the interface seems to have changed, could someone please tell me how to log out because I can't find the button.
Thanks

I'm not on about me, I do plenty of high impact sports, kickboxing, mountain biking, horse riding and a bit of freerunning (Pakour) so no manning up needed here thanks.
Are you all the girls in the world or do you have acces to their minds?
I havn't either but have eyes that see and ears that listen.
If in fact you ride trials and see other people doing stuff and go to yourself, I could do that too then congratulations you are one of the minority and have grown up with this bonus.
The vast majority of girls will think this way about trials, I am not talking about girls that already ride I am talking about girls generally. It is not a case of just 'manning up' it is the way scociety generally has programmed girls traditionally.
I believe this is slowly changeing but there is a hell of alot to do to catch up with boys.
Which could be why you think that way.
Indeed it can be no other case as the evident points it out clearly, there are less girls riding trials, there are percentage wise less girls doing almost all of these types of sports.
Do you also have a answer why there are less female trials riders?
-
Which bit?
-
In answer to the original question, yes there are girls that ride trials just the same as there are girls that ride downhill, BMX, road, 4x and hobos round the back of spar.
Why you want to know?
I think there is not so many because you have to be pretty strong to do trials and able to take the knocks when you f**k up which frankly puts me off sometimes as well.
Also trials is not really a mainstream sport and girls aren't really exposed to sport as much as boys so are less likely to even know what trials is.
Another reason is psychological, if a boy sees someone doing something amazing on a trials bike they think 'wow I would love to be able to do that' whereas a girl would more likely think 'I could never do that' this can only be remedied by female rolemodels in the sport and there arn't really many of them.
Sexism of a different kind (not the ribbing kind) has an effect. A few years back my oldest son and his mate were into the idea of motocross so they both got little motocross bikes (KX 80's). His best mate is a right wuss and was really crap, but one day his sister had a go on his bike and was awesome, a real naturel rider, but her father wouldn't let her ride it purely because she was a girl, girls are just not encouraged enough by parents or even sport companies to start anything other than athletics or tennis.
I wouldn't have known what it is if my boyf and kids weren't into it.

Um there are trials obsacles in my kitchen..................................
There are girls riding trials but they just don't really bother posting on here because of this sort of bolloxs.

Hi there, cool video the place looks fab. How much does it cost to get in?

Start>All Programs>Startup - anything in here can be safely deleted without altering the function of your computer.
Looked in there it has a few things on there but what do I do to them to f**k them off?

Yes he did run flats but that has nothing to do with it.
Riser bars are way better than flats with a long stem because:
A: It is way more comfortable and better on your wrists and general musculature.
B: You have more adjustment with risers by tilting them back and forward.
Flats will probably die off except for the hardcore fans of them, but they will probably be back also.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sounds like your helicoils are winding themselves in further.
Or maybe the helicoils outer thread is FUBAR

Hi guys,
Finished building my Mod, it is fab needs riser bars though
Thanks to Ozzy for the frame, Duncy h for the forks and tires, and everyone who bought my shit for my mod fund.
Thanks to nick for truing my wheels/bleeding front brake and thanks for all the advice from everyone much appreciated !!!
Cheers all

A mod is the same as a stock, much the same as any other bicycle actually; matts got his head screwed on so Im sure there will be no problems
I would say you should be looking at some shorter cranks though, I found that 5mm crank length made almost a tooth difference on the rear wheel.
A pic of my bike so far.
The forks and the bars are going to be changed, i just couldn't wait for my new ones to get here so i stuck these on to get an idea of how it was going to look.

wheels normally help
Ha ha very funny little thumb man, i am building them tomorrow
Do the little stuff you knwo then. And let like yur LBS do the BB and shit like that.'Cos if you you do, do it wrong you'll know about it!
My Boyf is on hand if i really get stuck.
Thanks for your concerns xx
-
I didn't mean that to sound offensive in the slightest, but you do something a but wrong, and it could cost you a lot of money / your face.
No offense taken, i didn't think that you meant it like that. I just want to have a go get to know my bike you know?
Kath xx
-
No offense either, but you are seriously going to eat some shit, my dear. That rear freehub you got there. They are deadly, the pawls and springs are made of cheese.
Tell me more because i have got nice teeth and if there is a chance that i am going to eat shit i want to know about it, they will have to go back.
And thanks for the advice Simpson, I probably should get someone with experience to build my bike but hopefully i will be able to do it so i will give it a go xx

Blimey you were quick. And I also think you missed the other 2-3 posts that stated this.
It was his old frame-LMFAO
These are the bits of my new Mod that i have so far, i also have some fancy clips, but my boyf has nicked them..b*****d !!!!!
check out the pic, i am excited now WooHoo xx

Thanks for your nice replies.
Curtis is really into riding his bike and seems to me he was born with wheels.
He'll try anything pretty much, and usually pulls it off.
Owains pretty good too but not so into trials, so he doesn't ride so much, I havn't got pictures of him trackstanding and going on balance beams but he can pretty much ride along anything he can fit his tyre on, that bike is too big for him really so maybe a mod for him too.
Having said that he's gonna be bigger than me in no time.
He's off to Comp. school today so will probably get into it more, he's bound to meet more trials riders there.
Anyway glad you liked it.

Im going to stick my eggs in here as im in the same situation as alex. Taking the outside piston must be okay because of the removable bore, but what about the other side?
And when rebuilding is Dot4 okay?
Removing the other side is ok too, as long as it is not too stuck.
Pump yer pistons in and out before taking the bore cap off, pushing them back carefully with a screwdriver.
Take out old pads.
Pump yer pistons right out.
Squirt oil everwhere.
Remove bore cap.
Remove first piston.
Remove second piston.
Or Watch Muels video for much better advice than the useless babble I just typed.-
