      I agree with flipp, wheel building is a really relaxing task. Such a sense of achievement each time as well.

      I used this guide here. http://sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html

      (scroll down the first half)

      I found that the pictures help quite well incase you have no idea what you were doing :P

      Possibly not them from the sounds of it.. I don't get how you can be that f**king good and one day disappear? Did they have bad injury's?

      To the attention of (isitafox), i already previously stated that the MAIN TWO riders of the Trials Kings were DANNY HOLROYD and ADAM BURNS. Checkout www.trials-uk.com for all the relevant info. In response to Miss-Higgy comment, i guess when you've been doing that crazy shit for a long time, it does takes its toll on the body.

      Don't want to split them really as the modded shell alone isn't much use

      Was upto £8 and I was curious to see how high they had bid. Literally bid in the last second on my phone thinking it was too late and I only won the bloody thing! Be reet, if it's no good with a m810 lever it'll go on my Stumpjumper

    3. JJ Leigh

      It'll be brutal with an m810 lever. The calipers are so stiff its unreal

      Hi mate.. Sorry to leave you a comment here.. But im stuck.. The forum states that i can only send 3 posts per day on the forum?? How comes?? Is this because im currently new? to stop spamming?.. will it ever be lifted?

      cheers

    4. isitafox

      My opinion is you need a few days off

  15. Hmmm, managed to hit 31mph on the way home from work on the 4play, scary as hell!

      I came of doing 35 on my dmr going round a turn. Moto RT tyres let go so easily in a turn.

      Safe to say I slid a good distance and removed a nice amount of skin on my elbow/ thigh. Jeans bore the brunt of it :P

      Damn thats a cow, can't you ride in the rain? I'm sure if you have a maggie it will cope, but i'm keeping my fingers crossed that this rain is going to let up. Check on accuweather.co.uk to see if the rain is going to stop where you are man

    3. isitafox

      isitafox

      No so much the rain that bothers me it's the fact all the walls an stuff round here get slippy as hell when they're wet so can't do anything!

      Oh well, another 2hr MW2 sesh on the cards!

      Yup, since I got it I don't like it. Hence why it's only been ridden 3 times and the spec has changed everytime!

      I know, I posted my Echo Pure and a xc bike both for under £15 each not long ago, lucky my sister works for a freight company!

  24. It would appear stripping a wheel with only a 30mm adjustable to hand is a pain in the arse

      I've got one on my keys but it's one size only and too small for these nipples. Also couldn't use a screwdriver as the spokes were poking too far through the end

    4. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      Wish I had an adjustable... Ive lost it and my spoke key to heavily relying on my screwdriver and a set of mole grips!
