  1. Nothing to worry about its just the tollerences all of them do it some more than others though!
  2. Do people actually like fancy chocolates? I don't like chocolate myself but its a very easy present but do people really like those fancy sounding chocolates like Thornton? Sound grim to me haha .
  3. Both likely to be m6 but just measure the current one you got. That M just means millimeters too. I think the difference between the bolts is the end the echo is juat normal as it goes into the axle not a little cap thing like the onza ones as i doubt they have odd pitches its either gonna be a standard fine or course thread.
  4. I woukd defiantly take one and price very much depends on quality. Also would be coolnif the pole had an option tk say like how many? I would definitely be interested in more than one. Design maybe the trials forum ligo over the shoulder?
  5. Drawing on stuff i shouldn't to leave my mark. Writing on rubber like the sole of shoes, especially slippers! Going shoe shopping.
  6. Echo tr pedals have really weak axles because theyre not thick enough.
  7. Sorry if this is aimed at Ali but you really cannot compare the arcade to a Marino. Marino frames are known to quite often come out wrong with bad communication and huge waiting times. Same sort of thing with triton however they do have a very good quality but that is reflected in the price. I cannot remember how much the quote i received was but it was a bomb Alot more than i think you pressume. That was a standard frame, none of the vast amounts extras they can offer. These were prices for just frames too. The arcade has forks too. Steel is defiantly not 'cheap' either? Very much depends on what is used from plain gauge to multiple Buttings external being the cheapest to internal being more. There are many varients of alloy steel too such as 4130. I am sure this is extensivly reseached my inspired being they obviously wanna keep up their excellent reputation of high quality frames that are practically bomb proof. From what i have seen miat bmx bikes are rather standard like no special tensioners, one piece bb areas (not aure is this is on the. Arcade but certainly on the others). Plus inaoired really are reaxhing out no other trials company are offering this defiantly puahing the aport of trials which in my opinion makes the extra bit worth it. Also inspireds customer service is as good as it comes which is the icing on the cake as not many companies offer this!

  8. Yeah silkroad did but think i read somewhere an message was sent around minutes before closure with another onion domain with essentially the exact same purpose as silkroad. On topic get your self some bit coins. The exchange rate fluctuates dramatically one minute they are worth pennys next minutes thousands. Juat play the waiting game. Read that a man became a multimillionaire as he bought £10 worth of bit coins at a rate where £1 cuuld buy you loads then forgot about them and when he looked back each bitcoin was worth thousands!
  9. New saints imo are alot nicer than the older ones. But for me hope tech trials are best. Just remember if a shimano brake goes you can not repair it because shimano dont offer spares such as seals ect.
  10. Is the piston not metal being a race line lever? Unless its o ly the body.
  11. That koxx was already cracked on the chainstay so maybe it is the same with his Manus which in turn that may be why he decided to do what he did to this frame?
  12. May be your actual rim that just doesn't like rim brakes kinda like the issues with trialtech rims? Probably cheaper to replace the rim as it's not cheap to keep on buying new pads just to try and get a brake that works? I got a rim you can have for postage if you want it? Presuming you need 26"
  13. Don't bother with those contraptions being honest they are more gimmicks than actual tripods. I used my phone for several videos. Get a case for your phone Not a rubber one on new of those hard plastic ones kinda like those super flexible rulers you have as a kid - £5 Get a piece of angle metal or other robust material in the shape of a right angle big enough to Cover your phone completely width ways but about 3/4 length way so it is well supported with the camera open to video ect - £15 Steps of velcro not much like 30cm at the most- £5 Glue the velcro to your case and angle to enable you to stich your phone to the angle. Get your trips and figure the thread size probably like m6 course and tap it to that size - not sure of price not much if you borrow the kit. Buy a tripod if you don't have one - £15 Total of £40 and it will last forever mine outlasted my tripod lol I will get a picture of the one I made tomorrow
  14. Will k-124 be going aswell or just koxx? I reckon this is a good opportunity for bigger company's to invest such as gt or the like with thier kind of money they could replace koxx with something better maybe?
  15. How come people have given suggestions for headphones when they have missed probably one of the most important questions; What will you be using the headphones for? Also if you wanna spend a large amount of money you may wanna put a small amount of heat shrink over where the cables meet the jack and headphones as i found from experience that the cable itself snaps inside the outer casing from general use rendering the headphones useless! i used to spend huge amounts on headphones every couple of months as the cable used to snap but the heatshrink seems to stop it however i was using them for about 13 hours a day everyday of the week.
  16. Good to hear your going to be fair on your prices Not having a dig or questioning your knowledge but i think stainless is a bad decision as it work hardens so i have read? Correct me if I'm wrong though
  17. Loving your welds! How much would you be charging?

    Do the 2014 brakes have that kinda little pop feel to the lever like the 05? gonna get some end of September when i get paid
  19. How much was this frame? Looking good though first omen i have seen although those dropouts do kinda resemble those that are on the 'Chinese shit'
  20. Went to my local Halfrauds and borrowed there tool Thanks
  21. Hi, Just brought a new BB and cranks and being in a rush i have tightened the cranks onto the BB axle without one of the steel rings on the axle. The crank isn't all the way up but i have no way to get it off and i don't want to use the a hammer as that is never good for your bike Would it be okay to tighten it up all the way or would that damage my cranks splines?

    Is this lever movement the same as you get on a hope tech? Never had a 2011 either but may be getting a set of these when they come out
  23. Checked the bearings? The sleeve things on the bb may be on its way out? Although I think know it may be the cranks and not the bb. I recently bought some try all cranks and thought my bb was creaking but turns out it is as the cranks after having my bb in and out at least 10 times in one ride at the local bike shop. It is where the splines are slightly worn not enough to wobble but enough to make a noise.
  24. This! Would love to see an up to front though
