  1. People complain about the difference in price for female drivers, but most of the criteria for insurance premium is based on precede, whether its gender, age, location, ect As soon as you start that, we'll all end up just having a massive fixed premium.
  2. ahhh, shh u we're trials riders, im sure we're genetically made to piss people off on a more serious note, how did u use 20mm of stackers on forks that short? surely, even with an internal headset, 100mm headtube + 20mm stackers + stem clamp height is gunna be way more than 160mm?
  3. I love it how whenever someone asks for something, u suggest the opposite. want a set of forks with long steer, and u suggest 160mm. want a light under a tenner, you suggest a £60-80 one
  4. Cheers. I was 90% sure it was, just wanted someone to confirm it before i brought a tap
  5. Am i right in saying the thread pitch for m6 bolts are m6 x 1.0? Cheers
  6. What gear ratio you running? i found that changing to 18-16 made mine feel alot lighter/flickier
  7. Thats not the one with the black chilli compound though.
  8. I cut every other knobble off my try all sticky and saved 43 grams. It was pretty worn though, so on a good tyre you could proberly get 50+ grams Also, that front echo rim is pretty heavy, i save 130 grams by changing to a trilatech square holed rim.
  9. Worse part is when you look at a bike like that and start thinking.... You could save a few grams by....
  10. Bit more of a usable botch: Screw block connectors!
  11. Just went for a drive, this happened : Throttle cable snapped half way up a dual carridgeway. Had almost nothing in the car, end up taking off two strips of electrical tape i had holding inner tubes together, and taping the throttle open a bit.
  12. ahh, every days a learning day
  13. It does say uner the specification : Continental Baron MTB Protection Tyre Specifications Black Chili I always thought there was one compound of black chilli?
  14. Dont really care what you or anyone else has to say to be honest
  15. You mean large portion = Dannys status? aww, how cute
  16. Some would say the same about the OP. I re-bled my front brake today, but im not gunna create a topic about it
  17. jesus, whats with all of the hate? If any of you know/have met liam, you clearly would know he has no malicious intent. How do any of you know Liam hasn't already asked Glynn for his permission?
  18. Ive heard in some enduros, if they get a puncture, they cable tie the tyre to the rim?
  19. it sounds more likely that he's tightened up the cups in the wrong order. The drive side cup tighten's up until it locks against the frame, then the non-drive side locks up against the drive side
  20. Couldnt you 'key' the spokes? like have a 6 sided allen bit (like a spoke nipple) where the spoke went through the hub?
