Yeah I plan on changing the clamp and post at the least, might spray the forks yet as I've got some black left over from doing the badges on my car. @Mark Wbit random but looked at that pic of your old red Fourplay and I'm pretty sure the pedals on this are the same ones. Everyone seemed to moan about snapping TR platforms but these must have seen service on at least 7 bikes over the last 5-6 years!

Bar angle may change when I actually ride trials on it, was only used to go to the shop for chocolate today though!

Oh yes cheers, only just managed to fit the cranks today as I couldn't fit the bottom bracket!

Finally got my bike built up, running brakeless for now until I can afford some MT7'S (missed a set on ebay the other day for £120!). Build is 2012 Fourplay frame, Team forks, @Dman's old blue Hope wheelbuilds and Raceface cranks (22-16), Chris King headset,Trialtech high rise bars and Echo TR pedals. Feels good to be back on one!

I love the world of recycling boxes for selling bike bits. Had some bars arrive off @Mikeein a chainreaction box with the address of a certain @Luke Rainbirdon. Now to begin the campaign of naked pictures and soiled underwear

Buy it @HippY

I think it was similar to the mk1 Fourplays in having a +25mm BB height (correct me if I'm wrong) but longer chainstays and wheelbase?? I was looking for one last year but couldn't get hold of any other than frames that the stays had cracked/snapped on. @HippYyeah they are the best of both worlds, would happily have another tomorrow even if they do break!

I really like Zoots, find they ride very nicely. It's just a shame that at some point the back end will separate itself from the rest of the frame.

In non CX bike news I may have picked myself up a free Spesh Rockhopper (Pro?) from around 2007. Long story short it got abandoned in the yard of a guy my dad works with by request of the police who were arresting the lad riding for being aled up. 3 months later and he hasn't claimed it so the official word from them is that he can keep it so he's passed it on to my Dad for me! Not 100% sure on the spec but if I remember rightly it was 27 speed deore/XT drivetrain with Avid juicy discs and Rockshox forks. Should do for pootling about on!

Yeah but it's not putting a rally car in an F1 race, it's putting a load of rally cars on an F1 track and seeing who wins.

Loveliest??

Put it this way, I saw a lad win his class (read as beat me) at a trial at Shipley Glen on a 24" Onza Zoot running Holy Rollers.

If the wheels will take a rim brake then go for it, if you are a tart and have to get some shiny pimped wheels then go disc!

I had the same problem before Christmas as was looking at getting a 24 or 26 Inspired but having ridden 24 I knew I liked it. The only real difference between them is the 24 will make spinny stuff slightly easier .

Because they own a vagina, trust me. My cousin has just been royally f**ked over by his wife and you wouldn't believe the sort of shit she does to him and their kids!

Had half an hour before the school run so thought I'd get my bike finished off. Absolutely scoured my toolbox, bench and general bike building area and can't find my adjustable or chain tool so can't put cranks on or shorten chain! b*****d...

Keep strong boy, loads of people here to support you if you need us!

Facebook is where every goes to bitch and moan when they get called out for being a dick on here. The amount of posts I've read that people must think don't go back to the person they're about is hilarious!

Can I just rename this to the how to make a decent vid thread? So simple yet shows everything! As for Jack I don't think I've ever seen someone so comfortable and in control on the front wheel of a bike. I'd love to see how he gets on with other styles of bike in different situations.

With a chain that long who can blame him!

I think this covers it.

If you do it right you can run without one anyway, just need a tensioner whilst it beds in...

Not quite a bike I own but it's my eldest son's 8th birthday in a fortnight so looking at getting one of these beauties!

They're pretty harsh over there, riding with a loose chain is punishable by death

No one handing out shots or cans of lager on the sidelines? @CalopShas tainted my view of racing damn you!!
