Case closed!

Another trials rider made it on Take me out, anyone know him?

I think I ran 22-15 on my old bike so would be nice to try something different

Yeah I thought it was 22-16, to be honest it's been that long I can't even remember what I used to run. Will see what's fitted when it arrives then thanks!

I've tried searching this but since the update the search function is useless, so.... What gear ratio for a 2012 Fourplay (375 stays) to run it tensionerless??

You'd know!

I'm a miserable f**ker and don't do new year, at the end of the day it's just another Friday today except I'm getting paid more. One thing I do plan to do but it's just cause it's going to happen this year is pay off the big fat loan that's hanging over my head and finally get debt free. And maybe ride a trials bike.

New bike purchased, not what I was planning on getting and will need a few tweaks but it should be good when I'm done!

Post a pic?

You can never have too many bikes, I used to take my trials bike out when my youngest son had just learned to ride a bike. Went to a local factory car park which was empty and he'd play pretending the barriers were his den and I'd spend my time hopping up the walls and bollards there. I think since I started riding again 6-7 years ago I've only had one brief period where I've only had one trials bike, nice to have a variety of riding styles be it mod, stock or 24 though it can be a nightmare switching between them. I had a ride out years ago on one of my 26's then swapped it for my 20, went down the road to a wall I could easily hop up, went for it and just ploughed head on ending in a heap on the floor cause it needed a totally different technique to lift the front end up! A women stood at the bus stop next to me just stood there pissing herself!

So, we know what some people gave, but what have you treated yourself to this Christmas? I've just sold my mtb as I never rode it and thought the money would be better spent on a street trials bike I can do the the school run on (a hell of a lot easier than my Lynx or Liberte) and also gonna finally sort out a new laptop.

Decided it's time to buy a new laptop as my ropey tablet one is basically cheap and crap. Main requirement is something to do my uni work on but then I'll also need it for music backups and probably the odd bit of HD video editing, is there any point looking at something with an i7 processor or will an i5 be enough? Whichever I get will be getting fitted with an SSD straight away and I have a budget of £250-300 for the laptop.

Is that who's that is? Been looking at it but it's collection only and part of me likes the idea of the disc mount on the flow as well as the slightly different geo. Will have to have a think!

Guy just been to collect the Heckler, gonna order me a new Flow come next payday! Just need to choose between 26 and 24 now!

Potentially sold my Santa Cruz which I never ride, money will be going (hopefully) on a 26" Inspired which I will ride!

Make sure you colour co-ordinate

Get a new rim first then a decent V unless you can get a set of the old magura mounts, somewhere must still sell them or there should be hundreds lying about in sheds/garages across Britain!

New search function is gash, you can't narrow it down to specific forums and it also only seems to search stuff since the upgrade?

Partially angry, partially sad. Felt rough as f**k last night with flu but still had to go out in the car to do some last minute jobs. On my way to pick up a curry to try and burn this flu off I saw a small cat lay in the road that had obviously been hit by a car. Feel awful for whoever the family is.

Here's the old mans bike, finally found time to get it finished!

Nah rsq's got closed cause Tom wanted people to start topics if they had a question no matter how small
