  5. Sponser By Tarty ?

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by neonneon

    Tarty (and all other companies) will only sponsor someone if they think they are going to get something out of it.

    For example,

    Danny Swindlehurst rides for Onza

    People think Danny rides an Onza, they must be good. (It has even changed my view on Onza Bikes :P)

    Therefore Onza are selling bikes because of it.

    Do you realize what commitment a sponsorship is?

    Especially in trials, it's not a big sport, if you break something, its not likely for the company sponsoring you to replace it all the time.

    If you want to get sponsored, do things like Jack Meek or release a good f**king video.

    Or, Like Rankin. Just piss all over comps.

    Well you may have just not tightened them quite enough..

    Self tightening? as far as i know deng has designed a good hub that you can change your sprockets easily, just by undoing the lockring, rather than a complete ball ache with screw on hubs.

    If chinese parts suck, then why is my 6 year old deng frame still running fine? no cracks, never been welded.

    Edit: wtf has chinese parts got to do with dan ko anyway? tarty stock the same chinese parts lol

    It's a common issue with the cranks.

    So my sprocket is designed to fall off??

    "But no problems with deny Deng frames, rims, forks..."

    Dan Ko stocks even crapper Chinese parts (such as neon e.t.c.)

  8. Jailbreaking?

    Why do you need to jailbreak when you've got all the apps on the itunes store, and you can download them off of the ipod itself? :huh:

    Jailbreaking means that you can install what you want, edit stuff e.t.c. and I'm looking into developing for Apple Touch devices.

    I did it 10000 times.

    WHat is your firmware?

    About problems with your springboard - do you have winterboard or summerboard installed(or any other programs changing the screen's appearance)? DELETE THEM. 75% problems are because of them.

    2.2.2

    I do have winterboard installed. and I've just installed the 5 column springboard hack.

    Trials UK = Cheaper by a few pounds like £5. but takes 2 - 3 weeks to arrive.

    TartyBikes = Cost a little moe like an extra £5 but usually will arrive next working day.

    dan t-uk takes 2 weeks - never. Too deliver. But what does get sent is normally the wrong thing.

    I'm sorry but 90% off the stuff you buy will be "crap Chinese parts"

    So Chinese stuff can't be that crap. :)

    100% of problematic parts on my bikes were Chinese.

    Such as:

    Echo cranks - tapers died (not my fault)

    Echo rear hub - crap specific snail cams that are too small, 'self tightening' sprocket self loosens.

    Neon conquer - being cut in half by chain, no tension, maggie mounts are too shallow.

    Echo bb - bent very easy, creaks, clunks.

    But no problems with deny frames, rims, forks...

    But each to their own.

    Hello.

    I've just jailbroken my iPod Touch 2G.

    I'm wondering if anyone on here does it and if anyone knows any other cool hacks or apps I could get.

    Also: Does anyone have any idea why my springboard randomly changes order when I respring the springboard.

    (bored on Sunday night basically)

    last resort, i may have to borrow it too if thats ok. my mate has one but when ever i go down to use it hes never in lol. gonna go tmoz but weather hes in or not is another matter :(

    cant test by bike either, loads of new parts and cant see how they feel as all i have is a poorly set up back brake and a brake 100% full of air :(

    Haha! Looks like I have a bleeding partner!!

    Look for the guy on a neon (Black) and Red wheels. With no rear brake!! :P

    (atleast they're wont be many neon's about, I think most of them are broken now) ;)
