Managed to book 3 days off at the busiest time of the year at work so I can go on a fitness instructor course. Now I just need payday to roll around and there still be a place available for me!

Trialtech pads definitely

The boys bike has arrived so I've just built it up ready for when he gets back from school. I'll be honest, I'm jealous! It's really tidy and should be a great base to last a good few years! Just need to hold back on the urge to spend a fortune upgrading it now......

The spec, steel forks, square taper BB, plastic pedals, V brakes, generally cheaper components.... Also the geo is slightly different, 5mm shorter stays and 15mm overall shorter wheelbase so I assume the extra 10mm is down to the rake of the forks.

Nexus is where it's at. May not be the number one in terms of performance but they're vanilla so no bloatware (my old Sony was rammed with stuff I never used but couldn't remove) and the first for updates and stuff.

Nope, but 90's number 1's is on heart TV. Sorry Danny, you're on your own son!

Flicking through the channels and The Shining is on, result!

That sounds like a challenge if ever I've heard one!

Whereabouts is that?

127x27° sounds like a winner

Yeah but a set of disc wheels can be had for under £100. To be fair the rest of the spec is miles ahead of anything in the price range so if he gets into riding it I won't mind spending to upgrade the wheels!

Tracking one of these down has been a nightmare, out of stock all over the country and none coming in for weeks (except the red one at my cousins bike shop but that's the wrong colour!). Ended up ordering one from a German website for the princely sum of £10 more expensive than the UK price delivered! Hope nothing goes wrong!!

Well he proved the Trialtech Sport Lite forks were up to the job and now he's onto the carbon Echo forks. Might just be me but it seemed like his style was slightly different to when he was on his old piranha?!

I changed the stem on my old Fourplay to make it a bit more trials friendly and I fancy doing the same to my current one as I never really got much chance to test it. The problem is I can't remember the geo and as the search function doesn't work I can't find the thread I got the info from so can anyone recommend the right geo? I'm thinking maybe 120 x 17 (currently got a system x 90 x 35)??

I managed to half cover mine with what was left of my VW black can so will probably get them coated now anyway. Hopefully be able to get a cheap deal as I'm not that fussed on the colour as long as it's dark so they can go in with whatever else the shop is coating at the time! Anyway, I want to see pics of the V2. Have you gone with simply bending the top bar to make them out of 3 pieces? I've not used mine much yet, I can go from a L sit round into a hand stand but not straighten my arms out yet. Need a lot more practice at that and been building my confidence up at kicking up into a handstand against a wall, that seriously freaks me out at the moment especially as I usually have to do it without any assistance. Another basic according to my book to work on is planches and frog stands to work on wrist flexion and strength which is hard going but I'll get there!

Powder coaters??!! What happened to them just needing a quick spray over!!

Just no

He did a good job of Tipexing the word Trial in a completely random position

I don't think street trials has taken over, just more street riders video themselves than others

Blackpool yesterday, was so windy and wet there was pretty much only one place I could find on the front sheltered enough to stay upright on, I would have had quite a few more shots but the wind kept blowing the camera over. Felt good to be on a bike though and I'm glad I took my DD mod as the brakes were amazing all day!

Did it in 2hrs 14min as she was running with a guy who runs our local gym and pretty much had to kick him up the arse the last 2 miles as he kept walking. Reckon she could have easily done 1hr 45min if she was running alone as her pace was down by nearly 2 minutes a mile.

Rebel without a cause

Today was wet

So, 50mph gusts on Blackpool North shore today. Still managed a bit of riding though, thank god for the grip on those moon rocks!

I was with Jolfa after seeing the pics on the floor but on the car I think they look good
