Sounds good so far Sam (Y) . Unfortunatly, like Jonny has already said MAD won't do a free demo - especially for a big company like halfords who, like you said are tight fisted (and as it happens - I work for both of them!) If you want me there for both days have a word with your manager and get him to talk to Dave (the manager) from store 871 Waterlooville and see if he could talk him in to letting me demo there for the two days (I'm supposed to be working on the saturday :P ) and maybe get paid for it at the same time ^_^ Anyhow, chat to me on msn about it.

Its Charlotte P on andys account. Nothing has been edited on that picture. Why are you even looking at my arm pit anyway? you got some kind of fetish for arm pits? :P lol. ALSO... I don't wear fake tan lol. The sun never gets under your arm pits anyway unless you sunbathe with your arms over your head or walk around like that lol :S Stop picking on my picture :lol:

Ditto :) Andy P

Mines 1055mm. longer than I'm used to but nevertheless sweet to ride (Y) Andy P

Nice pics there, really loving the one of shrewsers bunnyhopping that gap to manual :blink: Andy P

Eco-tec seems to get off most things. It took the white michelin writing off the side of my...well...michelin and the same with other tyres. Also takes the colour off from stickers and kiddies coloured saddles and turns your hands white.....eco friendly my ass (Y) Andy P

Halfords, I think at the moment they're about £11.99. At one point we were selling them for £9.99 with a free electric screwdriver - bargain! (Although i didn't have £9.99 at the time :huh: )

"hi_mum_im_@hotmail.com" Sod retyping email addresses.....ctrl c is my friend :blink: Andy P

Holy Moly, Thats the shit right there.... (N) I may be a little biased, but in my opinion, Si is talking crap when he says its a poor vid - I rather enjoyed it >_< See you tomorrow Si. Andy P

Pasted from the planet x website. Although its not a zebdi, I'm sure it would be the same policy. If you still have doubts, pick up the dog and bone. Andy P

I see Fletch made it into the vid then :sleeping: Andy P

13 x 8's + nutter driver. Yeah, coombe is a beast of a track, not driven it myself yet (Y) . Hoping to go on a few track days early summer, I dont know weather to take my car round seeing as it handles like a bag o'shite and i dont think the rover beast would be able to stay together for 6 laps of full on abuse.... Would be fun though. Andy P

Ahhh, but it wont... The car can't go round corners too well because it just spins. A friend of mine over took it on pretty much every corner of castle coombe in a road legal 1380 mini (thrown together the night before (N) ) and has video to prove it..... It did kind of blow him away on the straights though :lol: Andy P

A very nice bike indeed (if you're in to looooong bikes) Just a shame it had something wrong with it every 5 mins (N) . Andy P Oh, come ride Worthing again soon!

I did exactly what Danny said. They came out good......but.... they weren't chewy enough. Do you think adding syrup next time to them will help? This is Charlotte_P on andys account

Hmmmmn...... Chai, make it sunday and I'll make my way there. You know you want to (Y) Andy P

Pallet to pallet 8.5 foot measured. With a little more momentum I think I could do nearer 9 foot. Andy P

First time I saw it I instantly thought..... "Apollo Slammer down to £69.99 from £109.99, £40 off" (I think I've done too much overtime at halfords recently :- ) But other than that, looks good :) Andy P

mines.......... my name!!!! YAY :wink2: lol Opps.... this is charlotte_P by the way. I thought i was in my account, but obv wasn't...... damn. But on the other hand, what i said works for andy aswel :-

Phil, You're correct. They use one way bearings for the engagement - like the shimano hubs, but unlike the shimano hubs they have a very solid feel and power feels very direct. For those that don't think that the hubs can take any trials abuse, I said earlier - The hubs are currently being ridden by the likes of JJ gegorovitz, Sean Miller, Chris Santos and a few others with no problems. Because of this, the hubs have a 5 year warrenty for trials use. Weight wise, yes, they are heavier than Chris Kings - which are designed for xc use. In all honesty, I was slightly concerned about the weight issue but I can honestly say I cant feel any difference - Going by what Adam said, 300g difference??? I probably s**t 300g. Andy P

The Munn, personal opinion about the looks I think, I think it looks weirdly good :P . Price wise, the single speed hub (which is slightly more pricy than the cassette hub) at full retail inc. postage would be £180. Thats £180 well spent I think. The Hubs are available to order off TruePrecision.net but I would recommend getting on the phone and dialing 001.805.964.4545 and asking for Todd - hes a great guy and will tell you everything you would ever need to know. The cassette version, if all final testing go's well, will be be ready for production in the next three months. If you do get one, you will be joining a rather exclusive club. There are less than 200 hubs in the world. The single speed that i have is number 18 of 18 in the world - there arn't too many of them going around. There is a downside to this though. As the hubs are made to order there is a slight waiting list - I had to wait about 2 months or so but it was well worth while. Sam, its not like a centrifugal clutch. Im not 100% on the workings of it as I didn't have much time between ripping it out of the box and lacing it up, to putting it on the bike and giving it a go :P . I also didn't fancy ripping the internals out of a rather expensive hub that I've had to wait "a while" for. Many thanks for taking me to southampton to collect it and then fiding that the hub was in the back of a truck being deliverd to my house again :P Also, many thanks to Jonny Jones for lending me his spare back wheel for absolutely aaaaaages :P Andy P

I was going to wait for at least a month before posting this but I was so so impressed that I really could not resist. I doubt that many people in the UK (and the rest of the world) have ever heard about True Precision and Stealth hubs but they are absolutely amazing. Almost all riders on here will say that THE hub to have would be a Chris King, due to the high number of engagements, the stealth hub has an infinate number of engagements - its instant and completely silent. The way this works is a clutch system but where other clutch hubs have been flexy and spongy, the Stealth is very stiff and direct. I had my doubts about the hub but as soon as I had the wheel built and on my bike the results were amazing, seriously, this hub will be the end of king hubs. To show how confident Todd is of the performance of his hubs, he offers a 5 year warrenty - INCLUDING trials use!! The hubs are currently being ridden by the likes of JJ gegorovitz, Sean Miller, Chris Santos and a few others with no problems. I'm currently riding the Stealth poacher, the single speed MTB version. The cassette hub has not been available for a long while, this is because the hub has been re-designed to be lighter and to handle more torque than before. When I last spoke to Todd (a couple of days ago) the final proto was being laced to for testing and if needed, I'll recieve one for more testing. I can't yet give a full review of the hub as I've not had the chance to give it a thrashing but first impressions are VERY promising. Having owned a King hub for many years with great experiances with them I can honestly say that this is in a totally different league!! For more information visit the link in my sig or send me a PM and I'll do my best to answer any questions. If you are at all interested in the hubs, if you spot me at a ride come up and give me a tap on the shoulder, you are more than welcome to try it for yourselves. Cheers, Andy P

Hahahaha....Its just a rumour about the anti-gravity device, people have just made that up....though I've never said that I'm human :) Was a good ride, shame the skin on the palm of my hand just crumbled away after the first 1-2 hours leaving me in lots of pain :( . Lots of good things going down (and up!) people are just getting better and better. Andy P

It was the other way around Miles. DT swiss plain gauge on the drive side, no name double butted oon the non-drive side :blink: . The non-drive side spokes twist stupid amounts ( about 360 before the nipples even start to tighten!! ) and cant be tightend anymore than they are so everything is loose.....I'd go back and get the guy to lace the non drive side with DT spokes - F.O.C Andy P
