I apologise in advance for the lack of a lid!!

I know I know, I'm just being picky!!

I'm loving the latest vid Mark, especially like the fact there's no music playing over the top it's just all natural. And I reckon the clips of the travelling thrown in work really well, I hope I meet up with you guys one day if I hear your passing nearby! Look forward to the next blog

Good to here you got it sorted dude, and for free as well!

I always give nmc a scan as I know how frustrating it can be for some, and like it's been said before a lot of people sign up to get into trials but never bother as all there questions and knowledge either gets mocked our ignored. Everyone deserves a chance as a full member and I reckon the new system will aid this, and if some aren't suitable theres an easy way to deal with them.

Is that oban pier?

No mobile version, the only downfall of vimeo, will have to have a look on the laptop later (if I can get it working). Site looks really good though!

Trust me I'm far from uci, I just try to push myself to get to rear rather than use my bash all the time in a (very lame) bid to improve my riding. There's a severe lack of decent riding round here so I just have to work with what's available.

You'll love it, great atmosphere and get to meet loads of new riders!

No worries, Ali C and Mark W even said they prefer the 2 finger 2011's to 4 finger 05's but I'd prefer the longer lever.

Make sure you give it a grind if you havent already!

Looking a lot better with all the little tweaks tom, noticed the members link in the grey bar wasn't right for me the other day but it's sorted now. And the redone new members seems to be doing well.

TNN LGM's or heatsink yellows on a grind for me!

I dont know where you heard that from but I dont think its true, I run 2011 Hs11's and find them a lot better than my 05 ones I used to use. With a budget of £100 if it comes down to buying a new brake id advise a single 2011 HS11 (as it comes with a 4 finger lever blade, around £60 from tartybikes), a pair of TNN LGM pads (£30) and give your rim a grind if you havent already. Also if you havent already got one keep an eye out for a 2 or 4 bolt brake booster on here as that should help the brake as well! And going off your original post maguras and v brakes are 2 completely different things, maguras are hydraulic rim brakes and v's are cable operated but can be just as powerful.

I'd definately say lose a few pallets and practice getting up to rear then build up from there. The bash should be thought of as more of a safe guard than a tool for climbing, it's not like the old days where going straight to bash was the norm!

You wanna either cut a deep slot in to fit a big flat screw driver or try and get the bolt with the mole grips and unscrew it

Have you got access to a vice you can clamp it in, or some molegrips??

What have you tried so far to get it out?

Theres a couple of pythons for sale at the moment, if you want a zoo i'd highly recommend one!

All looks good JD but your gonna look a bit of a gimp riding around with your name on the top tube (said in a newb stylee) You sticking with the orange colour scheme you were running with the ewd Echo? Saw the post about a deal with a client, whats getting re-painted??

I just checked my rear tyre ready for going to manchester tomorrow and according to my digital meter it's 11.5psi. Feels slightly hard for that though so I reckon the gauge may be a bit wrong as I'm pretty sure I'd be able to squash the tyre down to the rim pretty easy if it was! (Der Kaiser)
