Looks good, I'm too short for a frame that long though!

That made me want to go riding! Really enjoyed that.

That was hilarious!

I've noticed a few people on this forum with a similar problem, and it's putting me off horizontal dropouts. From what I know after 18-15 most people use 18-16 so I guess that would be the best way to go, but it would be good to hear from somebody running 18-14, I imagine it would be good for street/BMX style riding. Anyway good luck, I hope you get it sorted. RD

The Phase 1.3 has a cable disk already. Personally I would switch over to single speed first then upgrade anything you feel would improve your riding. Not sure what disk brake the 1.3 has on it but I know people seem to like the Avid cable disc's. Other than that Stooie made some good points. RD

Stock bikes don't have a bash plate and i have never known anyone using 2 Bashrings, and that seems to suit the majority of stock riders. Also I don't hear too many people complaining about ruining their frame this way. Also I am left foot forwards and have always found that my left crank takes most of the damage after my bashring of course. If it is personal preference fair enough, it just seems like a lot of money spent on something most riders live happily without. And I did think before I posted, however for me the cons seemed to outweigh the pro's. Apologies.

That was... different. Your signature made me laugh! I have to learn Welsh!!

Can I just ask why anybody would want to have 2 Bashrings because I think whatever the reason there has to be a better alternative. Thanks

I certainly hope 25 is not too old. I've literally just got back into trials myself (brought a bike last week), after an 8 year absence. I'm 25 Do it, it'll make me feel better!

Personally i prefer short, because i love to do manuals, etc... However for what you want to do I think long is your best bet so I voted long. It's all personal preference though, whatever you feel most comfortable on! rd

Akrigg. I love the street style and combining of other disciplines of riding. I'm really enjoying Pavel Borisevich's videos at the moment though. rd

Sounds like your Allen key is rounded also. Can you get a Saw blade between the Booster and the Maggie mounts? If so I'd just cut the bolts at this point. Good luck!

Nice!! Did you get it second hand or have you been riding a while? Never mind just saw your other post with the vid! Nice riding!

At least if you go cinema you can go out after for a beverage and you have something to talk about... No excuses for awkward silences!!
