  1. I can imagine this would be quite good if you wanted the chilled theme Hasn't been used either that i know of.
  2. Link? Cant believe i missed it, we usually watch it when we eat dinner but we didn't today of all days
  3. What sort of video is it? TGS, Small techy, streety, huge and ballsy, natural? As i always find the riding style defines what sort of music you want as inflames would suit a huge ballsy video ( the guy on the blue GU video to be specific) but it wouldn't suit a streety video such as sean watson
  4. I spy my doggy Should of stuck with it and finished it!
  5. Add food colouring as that will help you tell of the brakes leaking or whether it is an external source of liquid.
  6. I like the idea of what your doing. But you need to think of another way of going about it. Maybe ask glynn if you could incorporate ridden it into your site but a trials specific map as I really like the idea of all this stuff being in one place!
  7. Tesco insurance is very good and rather cheap to! Too late now but for others looking to get a new phone I'm with t-mobile/Orange but through Tesco. I get unlimited texts and calls with 1gb of internet with free insurance all for £24 month. I also got my phone only a couple of weeks after release a month at the most.
  8. Just thought id add my most recent bodge as i have just re-covered my pivitol seat with an old sock i had lying around . It actually looks really good
  9. Trials addict can order anything you could ever wish for to do with trials. Ben also hasn't got all his stock on his site so.message him as he has loads more maybe coming close to tarty!
  10. Prety sure Tarty Adam has half and half on his stem. Not sure how well it works hut he was using alloy and ti.
  11. The Guys down at our local halfrauds have some pretty decent guys but i find its normally when a shop like that employs non riders it goes down hill. Although i have had very good experiences with smaller bikeshops. Went to a cycles Uk to buy a chain tool and the threads stripped which was really my fault for using a cheaper tool on a tank chain when it was meant for mid range mtb chains and the like and i went back to show them the tool as i had to buy new gripsanyway and they re-funded it no questions asked.
  12. I'd avoid try-all/Koxx foam grips as they rip very easily. Mine lasted a mere 2 and a half weeks before starting to tear at the end which i then cut the end off and passed them on to a friend. Although saying that they did feel amazing if you like a very thin grip!
  13. Can you remove the lockring from an Echo SL freewheel? Or is it welded?

  14. http://www.pinkbike....video-2012.html - Can't seem to embed the video correctly so heres the link
  15. If it is causing problems you could bend it out with a set of mole grips but only if it causes problems as it is possible to ruin the rim. Heating isn't necessary
  16. That was sooo good and has now made me get a 24 Also has a Sean Watson vibe to it which is always good!
  17. Its not only you who cant see the pics I think for a jig you would need a piece of steel or whatever you can obtain (150mm high - 1200mm long - 15cm wide), spare set of forks and headset, studing,and some nuts. You would need to cut 2 long slots with a gap smaller than 110mm inbetween at the back with a recess on the under side so a nut can sit flush underneath. Again at the front instead with a gap no wider than 90mm. Use the studding to make a shape that resembles a box with one of the longer side missing and secure it all into place in the slots with a nut on the bottom and top to hod it into position. Do this front and back with the correct axle measurements You can adjust the axle width by adjusting the nuts on the longer side to the correct width. Bottom bracket will be held into place with studding with the same principle another slot in the middle of the piece of steel and position and hold it all in place with a nit on the top and bottom. Drill a hoe through the bb shell and slide it down the piece of studding to the correct bb height then secure with a nut on the bottom. To gain the head angle is what in struggling with but i think if you do the same as above with the axles but to the dimensions of a front hub and hold it in the correct position again with a nut on the top and bottom and attach the forks using a nut on either side of the dropouts inside and out and use the hold headset in the headtube to hice a snug fit on the forks steerer. To keep the correct angle i would drill another slot to secure another piece of rodding with another attached on top in a T shape to hold the forks at the correct angle (closer to the axle steeper the angle further away slacker the angle). EDIT - Beaten by Josh but if i were you i would use his as it is proven and simpler
  18. Could this not ruin the whole food chain? Pretty sure most dinosaurs could take down a lion or the like with ease causing them to go extinct? I also feel whats done is done and we shouldn't bring back any form of animal and we should focus on keeping our existing ones.
  19. File the crank like the try-all crank below (at the end near the pedal thread)
  20. I read somewhere that the real athletes such as Olympians ect don't actually drink energy drinks even if they are sponsored by them they still don't drink them instead they drink water enhanced with minerals ect nothing like what you would find in a monster or that kinda drink. Also drinks such has redbull relentless monster ect are extremely addictive rather like nicotine your body needs the chemicals found in these drinks and if your body is deprived of them you will suffer withdrawal symptoms the severity will be down to the drink and the amount of its contents you consumed.
  21. £70 at least, better to start high as you are guaranteed to be offered a lower price than the one listed.
  22. Bar angle? I used to get a pain that went up my forearm as well as the palm of my hand Tilted my bars a few mm 2 or 3 at the most and it went away.
