Grind a bit off the back of the crank arm??

Can't be arsed with the washing up involved with beans on toast so I'm just dipping my bread straight in the pan! This is the life!!

Hmmm, lightweight?!

Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and The Funky Bunch!! Absolute oldskool classic and quality film star!!

May be sorted now as theres a trialtech sport forged stem in for sale section that I'm hopefully gonna get an Muels got a set off Zoo bars for sale so if they're 31.8mm ones (this oversized thing is new to me!) I could have fixed the problem at a bargain price!

If I were you I'd either strip the freewheel down myself and give it a good clean out/degrease or if your not confident enough yourself or dont have the tools take it to your local bike shop.

Somewhere in Japan, pref outskirts of Tokyo for the culture, countryside, city and the cars! Or somewhere in America, my little sister says California is awesome so that'd do!

Depends what I'm drinking it in, blue for coffee, green for tea, red for protein shakes and general consumption and straight from the cow with no pasturising bullshit when I'm at the inlaws farm which is quite a lot!

I've always used magura koolstops, not sure if they still make them but always been spot on for me!

I agree, love that helicopter silhouette in the sky! You'll have to get some pics of the trials riding in your area posted up on here, always interesting to see the standards in different countries!

Eh??

1. What shoes do you wear when riding? Adidas velcro up classic style ones 2. How long would you say they last? Ages, think last pair went for well over a year 3. Whats the ankle support like/is there any? None 4. Soles: grippy or not that grippy? Very grippy on platforms, was using my Adidas X-trainers before and came a cropper quite a few times but never move with these on!

Thats knockin on £100 so deffo out the question but cheers for the suggestion!

Same here, when I started years ago I was maggys front and rear but since I rebuilt my bike I went for a disc on the front and I find it a lot better of a combination!

Still in need of an update, the 26" hub and rim advice is what we were doing in the late 90's FFS!

That bird who was doing the fire act and singing last night was pretty good, would have been even better if they hadn't covered her tits up though!!

They all need loving!

Either get them returned and try and source a new middleburn, get an Inspired bashring suitable for 23t sprockets or do what I'd do an just get a new bashring an sprocket, will only be bout £25-35 depending on what bashring you get.

I approach whatever I'm jumping up quite slowly with bad pedal forward, push down on that to gain momentum lifting the front wheel then give my good foot a kick to backhop up if you understand what I mean?! There's a vid of me doin it on youtube if you wanna have a look, not sure if you'll be able to see clearly but may be worth a try, have a search for diddyb bathtub. Other than that look in the video section for the links in a post I started!

Think I rode here about 10 or 11 years ago at a trial when the blue class was MTB (not 100% sure though), got a video of it from Bike 99 I think somewhere at my dads house! Don't think I'll be fit enough or owt to compete but I'll deffo come down to watch, maybe spur me on to enter next time round once I know which class I'd be best in!

Good point!!

Right I've just been out down the road for a quick bod and I've come to realise that I need a new stem. When I was half pedalling onto some bathtubs at the farm the other day when I pulled back on the bars I found the bars slipping back, I tightened them up and thought nothing of it but just been jumping onto a tree stump which is a bit bigger and they were doing it again. The problem I have is my bars are old Azonic world force ones (9 years old) and all the trials stems are now oversized so if I get a stem I'll need some new bars as well which means big expense. So do I either get a normal MTB stem to match my bar size or splash out on new bars and stem? If I do that I'll probably go for a Trialtech Sport Forged stem but not sure which bars as really need to keep the costs down, any suggestions??

Looking very good mate, some real skill gone into the planning and building, I'm sure this wont be the last bike you build! Don't forget I was the first person to post I want one when you go into business!!

I've got an acer that I got about 5 years ago, 2ghz amd processor, i upgraded the ram to 4 as it was only 1 when I got it years ago (high at the time!) and stuck a 320gig HD an windows 7 on an its perfect. Never had any problems with it since I bought it and she's served some time an done some work I'll tell you. I can see why some people would avoid an acer but I can honestly say I'd have another tomorrow, although I too prefer netbooks, they're awesome!!
