Its hardly ridiculous at all. When you see the amount of spam there is in the New Members section, from companies trying to sell their products, to people just trying to be annoying. If there was no validation process, all that spam would be all over the place, and the forum would suck. 5 Validation votes is not at all hard to get, if you are geniunely interested in trials and make some good replies. Making topics, replying to topics helping people and being a genuinely nice guy is the way to get validated.

Yeh your welcome to use it for the day, however im not so sure im gonna ride, as its meant to absolutely piss it down, but if daves braving it, ill give it to him and he can give it to you, just remember to give it back to him .

i have a spare vee adaptor you can borrow.

If you are i would like to come ? Are u getting the train dave? Time/place please?

yh i saw this the other other day too, dont remember the trials, or the basketball/nfl, or the wheelchair backflip

Oh yeh my bad :\. Even read like twice to make sure i wasnt being a retard, read again after u posted and blatently says hes not using washers :$. I would personally use a washer and see if it sorts it, then if it does, instead of keeping the washers, use a hacksaw and chop a bit off each bolt.

I thought TNN clamps used no washers, just clamped straight onto the cyclinders? Sorry if im wrong

18:15 would feel pretty much the same as 22:18 and is what most people use.

Does he have wings?

2 Back disc calipers . That was pretty awesome skills to be honest

This :\. If you wanted to run your standard 18:12 gear ratio, your going to struggle to find a 12T freewheel to put on the back, where as its really easy to get 18T freewheels, for the front. You could i guess put a 16T on the back and then a 19/20 on the front, but then you get less ground clearance so. Most cranks take FFW now so why not

Could do with cutting the hoses too What front brake is it?

O shit thats loverrrrrly. Nice setup u got going on there too . Very nice bike.

Also i think because on mod, the common ratio is 18:12, and a 12T freewheel is harder to build than an 18T.

I could be down for something on Saturday, maybe Pompey?

lo l immense, pretty small front disc though no?

Hit harder.

That levellboss is really nice spec, but the frame is just ugly as . But if u bought that bike and replaced the frame, youd be onto a winner, at not very much cost compared to buying that stuff seperate . Not saying you should replace the frame, im just saying i would .

Wont be your weight, 11 stone isnt much at all. Id say most middle twenty riders are 10-11 stone. Something like this might suit you; http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/24_inch_frames_135mm/because_simple_trial_24_inch/c70p11123.html

they will all be spinnable, but the front brake cable will stop it from going any further, so how far they spin will depend on your hose length. If you want them to spin freely, you could have no front brake, or run the front hose through the headset/forks.

I think to do it properly is out of most people's league, anyone can bodge it, but risk damaging their frame and/or headset doing so. You really need the proper tools, to do it. For the price it will cost you to get it done at your LBS compared to replacing your frame + headset, then having to have another go , I think its worth it.

Bugger me . Its worth the perfect mod and everyone on the forum salivating over your bike though right ?

This is one thing I would definitely recommend you have you LBS do for you, they wont charge too much, and will do a proper job .
