  1. Also running plastic backed courts, simply amazing.
  2. Hope mono trial pads work in the v2's, get the pro versions
  3. Box a bike up and go to the post office, last bike cost me £20 to send.
  4. So it's not the £100+ price tag?
  5. Heya guys, my Echo is currently silver with black parts to finish it off, looks very nice and clean but I'm getting a little bored of it. Just wondering if anyone has painted theirs? I'd like to see how they look in anything but the standard silver finish.
  6. As this is bike chat and not trials chat I'm assuming he's after it for a bmx.
  7. Won't my credit rating be f**ked though?
  8. The gym uses a separate company to manage direct debits, might change things. Either way, I'm basically out of work, 1-2days a week cash in hand until things pick up and I'll get 5days whilst on the books and I live at home, car isn't mine, most of my things were bought from gift money or were gifts, thanks for the advice though I'll look into it properly. Back to tubes, I have about 10 spare tubes, I could cut one and rather than tie it I could try seal each end I think, combine two ideas, I'd like to know how those tubes hold up err, please keep me updated Edit* The valve is half way to coming off the tube, not sure slime will do much but get messy.
  9. No. Problems with a misleading gym membership means I'm In a 12month contract which I can't pay plus I owe admin fees for non payment etc etc. Until I get this sorted I can't really order anything from my account :/ I might ask the gf nicely
  10. Would they hold up to trials use though? Might be worth using a 26" In my 24"?
  11. The bolt for sure, I have a pic on fb, I'll upload it to here in a bit. Edit* The link doesn't work whilst on my phone unfortunately :/
  12. Wouldn't this lead to a massive flat spot in the tyre, I was thinkin about cutting a new tube in and then using superglue/epoxy to seal it, then cover it in patches and then duct tape or something, would still have a flat spot but surely not as bad? I'd probably use a 26" tube for that as when overlapping it'd make it roughy the same as a standard 24" right? Adam, I know this might sound like a strange request but as I'm desperate it's worth a shot... Would you be able to lathe me out a funbolt? I know some obvious reasons as to why you wouldn't be able to, cost being one, undercutting a product you already stock being another so I understand completely if you say no.
  13. Right so to make a bad day worse I've just got the most awkward puncture ever. Split the bottom of the valve, normally i'd change the tube but I've snapped my chris king funbolt (wheel is slammed + it still clamps so it hasn't been an issue until now). I patched it quite successfully until I went to reinflate the tyre and obviously the valve drilling pushed the patch right off, I planned to patch It much lower this time to see if I could sort it but I ran out of glue, got rained on and then asked to leave the shops carpark I was sat in. I'll have a go whilst at work tomorrow but in the meantime I'd like some sugesstions of what else I could try? Getting a new bolt is out of the question due to financial difficulties at the moment so unless someone has a funbolt going for next to nothing I'm afraid my only option is to patch it. Any ideas guys?
  14. For the people bitching about weight wasn't TartyAdams Gu one of the lightest bikes around for a fair while? Edit* My bad, it was a Czar, still one of THE nicest looking bikes I've seen so far. Clicky.
  15. Well someone has to take on the role of forum retard I suppose
  16. Not sure if it's just me but that chainline looks way off, rear cog is seemingly too close to the hub.
  17. Cooking oil is much thicker than mineral oil.
  18. Mine dips like 5mm in two places so you'll never know until you try it.
  19. Find where it dips and loosen those spokes a little but equally both sides so it stays true.
  20. How many grinds? When you have a really worn rim it can cause tyres to not seat properly.
  21. Been riding a few years, side to rear I can do just under bar 4/5 times. Side to two wheels? Forget it.
  22. Not sure if spelling mistake or name...
