Moving house so looking for some bike posters for my new room!...wondering if you guys know where to get some decent ones online? Trials, DH, Dirt Jumps anything really

I'm 16 going on 17 in July, my friend has started his own window cleaning business and doing very well for himself, its made me want to start something myself, I'm not shy from work, been working 3 jobs since I was 13 along with a paper round. I live in a small village, has anyone got any ideas of local business opportunities? window cleaning and car washing are 2 things that have just started in the village so won't be able to do them!

On my 09 Boxxers I've managed to completely strip the 8mm Bolt and now my maxle is stuck on! Anyone know how to get the maxle off? Also would one of modern maxles, like the one on my Pikes fit in the 09 Boxxer? Would be a bit easier than the current one.

Got a new street uni I bought off my next door neighbour for £30, bargain as its a decent quality nimbus with little use. Also got myself a giraffe a while back, not taking it seriously as a sport but its cool to be able to ride and im sure i'll still have my giraffe in many years to come! Can only ride forward just now but aim to be able to learn to idle and ride backwards in the next while! Will get some pics of mine up.

Got your email Josh, thanks a lot for your time, that's was very helpful. Will be sure to give that a try before it has come right off. Cheers

Why sorta of price you looking at for the carbon wrap?

Would really like to but to be honest I am completely skint and think ill be trying to stick with the cheaper self repair unless anyone was was to completely advise me against it. It should work?

Thanks, that may be just what I was looking for! I dont think I want to have welding done

Defo no space for a seat clamp, would there be any other way of keeping the post in? Even if it had to permanent.

Guessing that is/was my problem then. Any other suggestions on what to do?

By to small for them you mean running the post real high? Cause the 3 times I was out I had to post right up while cycling up Ben Ledi, my local mountain. Will give Jaf a message

So been working a year with 2 jobs while At school to save up to build my dream machine. But after riding it 3 times I found a crack, fair to say I was absolutely gutted. Second hand frame not much I can do but was hoping there would be a solution, it's on the seat tube, so was hoping if I took it right off and kept everything neat then it would then spread any further. Tried to show it as past as possible from my phone and dark conservatory. So was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on this? I cannot afford a new frame, was thinking if I took the crack right round and file it all clean would there be a way of clamping the seat post in and making it still rideable? Wouldn't mind even if the most was in a fixed position, just really want to be able toride it as I was planning on racing all the SDA's next year. Any suggestions appreciated.

To be honest Mark I haven't actually decided if I'm going to be going for or against the Burka, I'm going in to a lot of detail to find out info before I make my mind up, but I know I'll be able to write an essay on it either way, thread was to see other people's opinions and why and to see debates just to gather as much knowledge as possible before I make my decision on which route I'm going down

My opinion exactly, I think they should not be aloud to wear it as they enter Banks ect just as we would be asked to remove a balaclava or fullface helmet

So in English we're doing a persuasive essay, subject I chose to do is should the Burka be banned in the UK? So I was wondering what are all your opninions on the subject and why? Also if anyone has any links to some good articles on the subject that'd be much appreciated.

So I'm currently running this: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=28019 Can the inner ring and bash just be removed to run the outer ring as a single ring and then something like one of these would be ideal yes? http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=40904 http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=87855 Sorry for noob questions just need to be sure

I know his name is Adrian Dickenson, I think I have his address, I got a house number from one of his old adds on Pinkbike and used an address finder to get it and took that address, tried telling him the police were involved and if nothing was resolved in a week my local police would contact the Thatcham police but he never replied.

Yakuzanewbury is his name, was a set of marzocchi junior t's, and on one of the clamp for the wheel has a crack in it How come?

Thatchum, but I'm up in Scotland so can't just go to his door *thatcham

Must be a crime though? It was for forks and was £95, nothing huge but I'm only 16 still at school don't have a big income so it's not like I can just forget and buy other forks, it's money I need back! Will I just be completely shafted? Read pinkbikes FAQ and in that they say the person posting ad is legally responsible so surely that gives me something to go to police with?

I used an address finder online to locate it, he replie to my text when I said is this Adrian? And once I explained the situation he's not replying now, so what can I do if he still doesn't get in touch?

Bank transfer

If I buy something from someone online (pink bike) and its faulty and after I contact him he does not reply, can I go to the police about it? Even of its not a registered trader and just a randomer

Reason for changing: currently my hardtail is a DJ frame set up for riding the trails aswell, but after building my DH bike with just 2 brakes and rear gears, it makes me want to make my cockpit a bit less buy on my hardtail as I have 2 brakes 2 gears remote lockout for forks and a dropper seat post, wanting to simplify things up a bit get rid of the lockout and dropper and the front mech as its never used, has no use being on, and getting a bit more into dirt jumps so a bit more light weight simplicity is ideal. Think a top only guide will be my way forward, anyone know any cheapish ones? Or they only get as cheap as the one in the links

Right now running 2x9, would like to run 1x9 but would this require a chain device? Was about to take front mech off and just remove the granny ring leaving outer ring and bash on my SLX crankset but then realised might no be so simple, is it so simple no?
