  2. thought it was pretty average... but he pulled it out of the bag for that manual wow with his skinny high pressure slick tyre !!!
  3. haha awesome response.... as for lame sports that only take a while to master ? I cant really think of any ... alot dont require much skill - but those usually mean a bucket load of dedication and pain (how bout running a marathon) trials is one of those (fairly rare) sports that requires a bucket load of skill dedication physical fitness and pain.... and as such is a pretty amazing one.

    New Frame

    Pretty sure if he aint already got one you cant go out and get one after it is in the public domain... so if there is no cover for him then there wont be from now on ... (? may be wrong but ...) anyway - if i were clive id be happy if other bike manufacurers used it - shows that its genius. and leeson frames are still the dogs danglies even if they arent the only frames with 360's. anyway - its a one off (unless you are gonna make a stab at a manufacturer ?) so im sure he couldnt be arsed to sue.
  5. Right well mine arrived this morning thnaks to the amazing service of those bike tart guys and the ROYAL MAIL (only ordered yesterday afternoon). And Ive got afew points to make 1. Ive opened it up and im pretty sure all the pawls are the same size - the system works because of the way the pawls are positioned - ie when the first pair (say top n bottom pair) is locked into the ratchet teeth, then the second left and right pair is positioned halfway up the ratchet upslope (cant think of a better description) either one in advance or one behind (in comparison to top and bottom) but exactly opposite each other. Right 2. The new axle / bearing design looks good massively oversized compared to the mono and the bearing actually supports the hub right under the engagements (my only major gripe with the mono is snapping axles every 5 mins) fun bolts are awesome for a trials hub stiffens the back end up abit - and helps with the broken axle syndrome. 3. the new seal is a bitch - that was awesome about the mono - being able to take it apart really really easy.... but this seal is more fiddly than engraving your name on a grain of rice. although having said that though it looks as if it may actually keep some muck out !!! so swings and roundabouts. 4. I dont ever want to run another disc at the back so this hub is slightly frustrating 5. they all are in 6 speed i believe (could be wrong there) Cant wait to get a build on oh and 6. They are basically only a few quid more than the old hubs.... take that CK
  6. another TRA vid I didnt like ...... (Im getting fed up of my hopes being built up and then dashed) ???? which part was that then - haha TRA is harsher than waynio (both amazing mind)
  7. He is.... Plus he has a good back brake again (hehe)...

  9. i may be around in the afternoon.... with camera probs (gotta start sometime - keep putting it off (if i dont have it you can slap me)) RJ
  10. LINK A few pictures of my old one. black and gold. ooh.
  11. yeah err echo scotty is a mentalist.... a proper street bike is a bike like a curtis, a leeson or maybe a pashley (the old ones) .... Depends though - do you mean street or a trials on the street (its a subtle difference) if its the latter then yeah echo scotty is right... although I love my bike.... (im not that streety)
  12. I heard that too - i had the vee model but i used it disc only so didnt really effect. honestly the pace will be perfect on your T1. they are light long and not too pricey.
  13. didnt like it. expect alot more from a sponsored rider. plus the footage was pretty poor quality ? dont know if this is camera or compression.
  14. Viz forks are about the longest you can get . . . . . just check out mannings bike (im sure there is piccys somewhere... also the pace forks are ace on a curtis . . . (well on my old one i loved em)
