nick's (prawn) oversized stem suddenly twisted in a way it aint supposed to earlier today, not sure how he did it exaclty, just backwheelin some walls to find the stem like this riding along a bit later...... im sure he shall explain when he pops online... interesting snap though, have a look for yourselves!!! : : : more here (Y)

You can buy this special freezing stuff at any chemist..... it's simply like a cotton bud, but ultra super duper freezing cold.... u just put it on your warty thang for so many seconds and a few days later is dissapears or falls off.... worked for me! shame i cant remember what the stuffs called... i do know, it cost about 10 squids, and it only treats 5 verrucas :P

ditto!!

its seems like my ratio is bigger than everyones..... i use 22 / 16th with 175mm burns a quick sum in my head means this is a 1.375 ratio! suits me fine though...

not a bad experience as such, but i've only ever had prompt quick reliable service from ebuyer.... just the other day i brought a laptop for uni with a few accessories, and everything was right and all included with delivery only being 2working days..... no problems yet anyway (Y)

hello i really like the image001 one.... but i agree with some other people that its maybe a bit too busy. Very impressive nonetheless and i expect it took a while.... i do, however i love your avatar... dont spose you've made anything like that in a desktop size? Having just got a new laptop for uni, i'm fairly short of good backgrounds.... *hint hint :)

wow - loadsa response guys! thanks very much - no doubt i shall soon be riding with all / some / a few of you soon!! cheers again - i love this friendly forum! :) andy

tuesday sounds good. im guessing you mean evening time? where do we start? add me to msn dude just so i know also....... all the guys riding in portsmouth, what bikes do you ride? so i can identify you all.... ? (im riding a bright red giant team trials with suspension) tar andy

hello, i just arrived in portsmouth doing an art foundation course at uni, and i dont know any trials riders here.... :unsure: didnt know whether this was the right bit of the forum, i dont wanna organise a ride, but more just contact a few nice peeps that ride around here.... i have seen a fare few people riding around the guidhall sqaure area, but i dont have the balls to randomly join the groups. so err..... yeah, anyone in portsmouth that wants a new trials riding buddy (in a non-gay way), post or add me to msn...... tar - ready and waiting to ride!! andy

hello people i jsut arrived at uni to find my chris king rear hub axle snapped in 2!?!?!?! dont know how long its been like it, as i only found out when i took the wheel off and it fell apart... i managed to put it back together with the QR holding it all in place and it seems to work fine. But ideally i want to replace it. Can i? how and where do i get parts for my hub? cheers andy

if you need to know :: i've run a cheapo sram chain with the powerlink jobbie, the same chain, for nearly 2yrs!! no breaking!! its unbelievable. Not only do i use these chains for trials, but also for DJ, XC and DH. They're as strong as anything, you can whip them off in a second, and they're cheap >_< (Y) ;)

i've resprayed my giant team red all over, with black forks, bars, burns, and the holes in my rims red, ( with red tape ). It looks sweet as hell! so at this moment in time, i'd definatley say RED RED RED, and you've already got red and black bits too >_<

nice, just as i'm eating my tea! ha ha. Good find, i've seen a few, but not this one! :closedeyes:

i couldn't find much on its own website about unistallation stuff, but i did just run loadsa spyware removally type programs and it has picked up a lot of msn related crap (which hopefully is this bug!) trouble is, i can't tell if it has gone, no-one is online, to tell me! ha ha cheers for the help dudes and dudesses!

i expect this has already come up at some point, but i scrolled through a few searches and found nothing..... everytime someone logs on whilst i am, it sends them this "have they blocked you too? download free msn block checker here" crap from me, but i dont see it it seems that all my friends now have it too, and i've seen it in some TF people too.... how did i get it?( im guessing 'cos i clicked on the link) how do i delete it? help? tar andy (Y)

well i'd probably move the cranks around a few frames, but they'd be to go in a planet x bommer to begin with... so i spose its euro i need then!? easy peasy, cheers! (Y)

i need some 3 piece cranks to fit my mtb frame / bb. But the only options i have are euro bb and us bb which one do i need?? :bunny: :deej: cheers andy

wahaay! im not the only fan! :bunny:

out of experience.... i have seen nothing but trouble with the physlo forks for DJ use. If they are not maintained regularly, they become loose, just like a loose headset feels! and not smooth. Personally i would stay clear.... however marzocchi and manitou i think are completely different, being more of a fit and forget manufacture. Obviously every fork will require maintenence (sp!) but i fitted some mx comps for my xc machine nearly 2yrs back, i give it loads of abuse, but they are as smooth as i brought them! very impressed, as i am i with manitou's stuff, i've run blacks, and sherman forks in the past / present, all of which have that solid nice feel! thats my opinion if it was needed anyway.... :wink2:

probably been on 'ere before. But i think this guy is hilarious!! check it out www.burntfaceman.com he he well i found it funny anyway! :wink2:

yippee!! which bb do i want for a mtb? euro or american?

haha that made me chuckle!! ;) i thought those cranks were the like xc ones anyway... so surely they'd be super flexy! thanks for the help guys... i haven't found THE solution yet.... (Y)

well personally i prefer a bike that works as oposed to one that looks good, but in this case i want both! stop trying to make an arguement in my topic, if you dont know where i can get white cranks, DONT post! :lol:

my giants been running dead strong for nearly 2yrs now! and thats second hand from some chubby geezer! he he, and still no sign of breaking. At the mo, i'm running suspension up front, and even that extra strain doesnt affect it! I think all my components will break before the frame does.. and i've landed 12ft drops "not quite as smooth as planned" many a time! I dont think you should worry about it breaking. In the mean time, my matey sam, has gone through a leeson and norco... doing simular stuff! :D (Y)

thats proven very useful! thanks! however, they're a bit of the pricey side for the abuse i shall end up giving them! Got pretty much the whole bike sorted, apart from these cranks, i found some older white easten bars... (Y)
