  1. This thread has turned into a load of crap with i can tap higher than you shit going on... But it seems that the only person who has any kind of leg to stand on is manning.... and it is a great photo. anyone who claims over 54" is either talking out his bottom or very very good - either way I dont believe until i see it especially when the riders who claim its previous offerings are not even in the same league as that sort of height. remember kids the last few inches are the hardest to get..... I even dont believe wayne on this one - and he is pretty mega (mainly because he said in bristol .... gets me suspicious though he says photo and i say share, please...) anyway nice photo nice work.
  2. Well for me is always been hope and allways will be... Im with wayne and ali c - who the fook needs 72 points ? I ride with a standard mono and i dont find it lacking.... everything about the hope is great ie super easy service, strong, awesome service when it goes wrong (notice when) and above all a very reasonable price - Kings are almost 3times the price!!! anyway the only real thing wrong ive found with the previous hub is the axle / bearing design which meant the axle snapped causing the f/hub body to take out the ratchets but this looks to be fixed on the new ones.. also the ratchet diameter is much larger = stronger again and with offset pawls there is less "slap" nto lock of the sysem = super stong. Plus think about this, this is a TRIALS hub not just an xc hub adopted by trials riders

    Hope Xc

    check the axle - they are very prone to snapping - espesh if you have a pants skewer.... can cause the hub to do all sorts of wierd things....
  4. anyone wanna do the last song in Gaz M s last video (6) ?
  5. Last song ? liked it. didnt like most of the vid however some piss poor filming but the natural part was pretty good nice riding in there too.
  6. rubbish.... cant you set up a secure online shoppy thingmy . .. . loads of people have done it cant be that hard . .. . they take a fairly large percentage as the seller it sucks....

    Pc Or Mac?

    haha nice having used both, i would say there is far more flexibitlity with what you can do with a PC... plus pc's are made by millions off companies macs are made by 1 (and a pretty shitty one) which means everything has alternatives. I would have to say macs are almost right - a nice idea getting rid of a load of shit from when pc's were first designed (read bodged together), but I feel they have turned into a simpletons PC / fashion accessory - see also IPOD.... plus from what i can see apple software is even worse than windows. . . come on itunes is the biggest pile of wank since... well... ever.

    Fatmike Video 5

    No Mike No. Not for me . . . . like 5 taps up the same wall from the same angle ???? your riding is great and its a nice idea - i just dont think it worked this time, although maybe im in the minority by the looks.... + NEW HELMET ? STREET. maybe with some music and edited so the clips came really really fast (compress it into almost half that length?) it would ave been better. but hey either way chars for doing it, oh and the camera moving bit was great.
  9. Im in two of those hahaha.... tonkery films are great.... rodriguez' are awesome and glasseyetrials ones . . ... cant go wrong with those. I would say to all the new riders who put out videos dont use thrash music if your riding isnt bigger than a house and nuttier than squirel spunk.

    Tm2

    TV's are better for watching low quality movies at full screen - summut about resolution n stuff .. gets rid of alot of the pixelation (?) and it does look great. As for the film well . . . . . SPANKING shrewsbury is a hero. that super8 (what is that camera jonny ?) is the nuts. all the riding was beasty. the camera work was superb and the edit was pro... oh and OASIS - JJ i f**kin love you. The best biketrials film i have ever seen. So TM2 sets a new high now roll on more quality releases (goddard bring it on...)
  15. I would say dont bother Do it as raw avi (if you have the room) then use something else to convert it to DivX or summt non windows media as its rubbish.
  16. long or short ? or a new high bb jobbie ? anyway 1060 pure = 110 lo rise stem £10 from my local shop thats what i wreckomend
  17. haha nice but remember - do the goon again = most downloaded of all time on trials-shack....
  18. jack johnson rules .... I have all his albums You shouldnt really be embarrased about any music you like - you like it and thats that ? but im guessing id get slated for... Crowded House Sheryl Crow Some relaxing classical stuff the katie melua song about bikes Rachael Yamagata These ones seemed to stand out as the oddballs in my collection...
  19. ??? its the most terrible album in existance. Now their first album i actually really really like..... mine . . .
  20. I rode with a bog standard nhs splint support thingy (Its got a metal insert) after my cast came off and that was really good..... But - The Doctor recommends wearing no support as it will heal faster... dont know if this is the same for a strain but i guess so.

    The Song Game!

    Nerf Herder Lamer than lame
  22. but they have engines.... if you put suspension on a trials mountain bike you arent going to help anything. you loose energy in the spring and dampening system.... upshot you aint going up anything big. Man = less than 1 BHP ... Engine = plenty more than 1BHP.
  23. throw it in the bin and get something good .... MERRY CHRISTMAS (although use the little reset pin then sell it would be better)
