It really is tragic, I thought safety would've come further in Indy car racing. It's 2011, no one should be getting killed in motorsport. Condolences to his family and friends.

If I actually had any trials skills then I'd also like to transfer them to driving in some way, really wish I could race more frequently, such a good adrenaline rush. I've never actually had any serious hobbies until trials came along, other than playing piano which I've lost enthusiasm for.

I enjoy being on a bike, but what makes me truly happy is when I see an improvement in my riding. I'm not really sure what your second question is asking. I occasionally ride a bike with a seat.

Contributing?

From what I've heard you can get away with changing the rear hub to a pro 2 without changing the spokes, the spoke lengths are near enough the same for the pro 2 as the standard shimano hub. TF member Joshm1991 managed it on his phase anyway, you could ask him about it. £190 seems like a bit much when you could save £100 and buy a used Pro 2. But maybe you have more money than me!

Great film, really well made.

I really want to go climbing again, would there be anyone in the Glasgow area interested?

Ronald Jenkees! Absolute legend. I thought I'd be the first to use his music for a trials video but you beat me to it!

I can imagine there being plenty natural riding around there. That Giant looks ace too.

^ This, need more.

I'm using old Zoo! pads on the same smooth rim, I can't fault them. See if you can get them from tf members, maybe JT! or Ares still have some for sale...

I have this problem too. Plenty tension, plenty chain wrap, aligned fairly well, good quality chain and sprocket, but it still occasionally skips/jumps. I'm at a loss with it. I can only think that I need to change the tensioner in some way, perhaps run the chain under both wheels? Less chain wrap but I know it worked for one person on here...

At least Rubber made a point, even if it didn't have one. I have no interest in Premium Rush though, just so...generic. I like that word, generic.

I tried to get a job at Halfords Bike Hut earlier this year. It annoyed me how the interview concentrated on my ability to sell things/services like the Halfords care plan and not on my knowledge of bike mechanics. I reckon they just employed someone who could 'sell' better than me.

Downloaded finally. I'm Pete01.

Are you talking mainly rims or hubs? I compared the weight of the standard Alex DX32 rim to a Try-All rim and there's only ~70g difference

Currently I have contents cover(£3000), laptop and gadget cover(£700), and bike cover(£400), which required a single payment of £116 to Endsleigh for one year of cover. Decent value really.

Are you getting general student possessions insurance? I'm with Endsleigh who give you the option to insure your bike along with contents and laptops etc. It's worth it in my opinion, it has saved me more than £300 after losing my new phone.

Perfection. I loved everything about that video, and the fact that you filmed it yourself makes it even more impressive! So good I'd pay to download it.

^ this I like gumtree too. Try all sorts of cars, sometimes bigger engined less desirable cars are less to insure than typical small young person's cars. Try 1.4 rover 25?

The CRC link goes through redirectingat.com for me too, but all the links work fine.

I feel exactly the same. When the weather is bad I can hardly be bothered playing games, playing keyboard, learning stuff, or even watching tv. Instead, I just sit here staring at my laptop. It's occurred to me that much of this lack of motivation can come from the people around you. If they don't do much, then you don't either. I guess if I really wanted to I could achieve much more, but it would definitely help to have more motivated people around me. I feel bad for saying it, but I think I need new friends. People that'll challenge me to learn new things etc. If I hadn't started trials this summer I would've achieved f*ck all. I'm actually looking forward to uni this year because it'll force me to achieve more.

If I could make a video I'd be tempted to use this: Either with or without the lyrics. Or something nice and chilled out by Incubus.

I recently got Duff Revert shoes for riding, they're awesome. Definitely recommended. Pedro's look even better with that higher ankle support. Wish I'd got them instead.
