    2. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      SamKidney

      Ordered a new brake now. Been wanting a 2011 Mag for a while now.

      Cheers anyway :)

  8. SamKidney

    What do I want most? For Conti to make their 24" tyre available to meh! Or for try-all to surprise us all and release 24" stikys and skiky lights. One can dream...

      Miss-Higgy

  11. SamKidney

    Starting to gym it again soon. Been ages!

  12. SamKidney

    Try-All Carbons and Try-All pedals on the shopping list next month. Make my 24" a wee bit lighter.

    1. isitafox

      isitafox

      The carbons are so nice, really sad when I sold mine. Should have kept hold just in case!

    2. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      Glad to hear it! Been wanting to try a set for a while now.

  13. SamKidney

    good ride today.

  14. SamKidney

    Getting psyched up for tomorrows ride! Watching Borisevich Pavels up to front technique, I want to go higher!

  15. SamKidney

    The wet weather wouldnt be too much of a problem normaly...but because Im running this Fat Albert tyre its like Im asking to be hurt.

    1. SunnyBoy

      SunnyBoy

      Turns out try-all tyres aren't meant to be ridden on wet, mossy walls. Found that out today - who would have known?! :P

    2. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      Wet mossy walls shouldnt be ridden at all! ;)

    3. SunnyBoy

      SunnyBoy

      My knee knows that better than anyone now. ;) Last resort when I'm desperate to ride though!

  16. SamKidney

    In all my excitement over my new bike coming tomorrow, I'd forgotten Ive to build the wheels before hand. So, boring.

  17. SamKidney

      CalRobbo341

    4. SamKidney

      SamKidney

  18. SamKidney

    3. SamKidney

      SamKidney

    4. SunnyBoy

      SunnyBoy

      All above news sounds good, let me know when you've recovered carl and I'll come out. Sam, I'm sure a vid of you would be awesome. You have a hell of a lot of natural ability from what I saw of you!

    3. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      Cheers! I'll try not to disappoint :)

    4. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      Will be on a 24 if funds allow, if not it will be stock.

  20. SamKidney

    Well Im on a bike. My old brakeless echo, with one hug crack by the dropout.

  21. SamKidney

    Might treat myself to a rear king for the build!

    1. ogre

      ogre

      but it makes the back end heavier and kings make me paranoid.

    2. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      They do seem a little high maintenance... I'll probably get yet another SL.

    3. ogre

      ogre

      lighter, and cheaper...

  22. SamKidney

    Final choice has been made on my new ride.

    1. isitafox

      isitafox

      Mission Prodigy it is then!

    2. SunnyBoy

      SunnyBoy

      Diamondback T1!

    3. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      DA BOMB

  23. SamKidney

    How do people rate the Genesis 26" frames?

    1. trialsiain

      trialsiain

      same geo as pure and my cousins pure is nice

    2. isitafox

      isitafox

      Very nice, I would have had one over my Pure if I could have afforded it at the time.

    3. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      Thinking of one instead of a Pure.

      Would look amazing rawed and polished

  24. SamKidney

    Rode a mates Onza Rip 2011 tonight. What a capable little bike! Dual 20" wheels didnt stop me riding some proper trialsy moves on it, and the vee's are incredable!

      completely standard build?

    3. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      Completely. Im really surprised at how nice it was to ride.

      Everything felt normal. I wasnt going big, but what I did do felt nice.

      Rolled up to rear wheel at bar height no problem. Even a with a rear mounted, low ep freewheel it felt decent.

      And the brakes! Wow, the rear, on a smooth rim thats now through to the silver, holds and bites so well. A light grind would make it even better. As it is it beats a majority of my magura setups...

    4. SamKidney

      SamKidney

      And the front is mental. Awesome little thing

  25. SamKidney

    Specialized Rockhopper XC, shimano brakes, LX/ XTR deraileurs, mavic wheels etc... was getting thrown away?!

    4. SamKidney

      SamKidney
