      1.4 due to insurance, want a bit of a project so I have a clean base for an engine swap next year

  5. Fitted a brake, just one, to my commuter. Decided not being able to stop quick enough with my shoe wasnt good enough for main roads..

  6. Do I sell the Corsa and the Civic to Mk2 Golf Cabriolet?

      Like a wheelswap, you bounce the front wheel off a point/surface and switch to the rear wheel

  16. Onza frames have such a ridiculously thick coat of paint. Ive had to sand the thing completely by hand to get it thin enough for the paint stripper to do its job sometime this milenium

      I think the frames telling you it has a sexy paint job and doesn't want to look like every other frame!

    4. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      It had a sexy paint job*

      It just looked so tatty and worn it needed doing. Pretty much all done now. Left some paint stripper on the welds/awkward places to lift anything thats left and it should be good to polish.

  17. Stripping stuff in Caustic Soda is always fun. Finding random shit and doing it for the fun of it

      After I used half a bottle disc cleaner, changed pads, cleaned my disc twice and still making noise and not making enough bite, I will never use oil at maggies, only at discbrake

      Im too much of a TGS faggot to consider a streety bike just yet, although the prospect of one for riding park is highly appealing.

  25. My interest in trials is following a serious downward trend. Fed up of broken/shit bikes and dicks that ruin things for others.

      Welcome to Trials - Forum. Most people on here are like that, which is why I try not post and just watch videos when there are new ones :)

      Generally fed up. My bikes of late have been pretty bad in the sense that I cant ride them properly, they break often and its killing my motivation. Its not so much the people on here, but some off here that are on their high horse and make biased decisions based upon a suspicion.
