Flights Booked! Really looking forward to it! Big thanks to dan for the lift and all! Now just gotta make sure ive got plenty of drink money!

Yeah I'm much the same with the 90x35 , I don't feel right when up on the back wheel, mind you I'm still a beginner so not sure if its me or the stem! was looking into picking up a cheap second hand stem with similar geo to yours to try it out

What stem are you running on the fourplay?

Thanks man, yeah it is a wee bit over the top, but there's a few good ideas in it. My main concern is really preventing bends from stuff being stacked on it, I was thinking of cutting lumps of polystyrene to make chocks, so that they take the pressure?

Hey everyone, planning on heading to radfest from Ireland and bringing the bike along, and have been looking into bike bags on a bit of a budget, but that are decent? Has anyone any experience with travelling by plane with a bike? And any recommendations/advice on what bags to look into? And the best ways of packing? Thanks Bernard

Oh wow, that's really nice of you man, really really appreciate it! I'll look into it a wee bit more and I'll let you know, but thanks so much for the offer

Yeah I'm gonna look into it a bit more, and see if I can manage it/afford it. Would love to come

Really?? Shit!! ill have to look into that, i'm really keen to go EDIT: Just checked there. total robbery, plus 70 euro to bring the bike

I Got scammed on here a few weeks back and in all honesty,i could of easily avoided it by just going with my gut. my suggestion would be to buy only off people with alot of posts or good feedback, check the dispute boards to see if their name is mentioned. But mainly, i'd go with what is said above, ask to view it, and also only pay through paypal goods and services. if you send it as a gift youve no comeback.

I think the ns mint comes in 31.8 and are fairly similar to the proof, bit heavier though Edit: just checked, the 2013 doesn't, its 25.4 sorry

Cool, thanks for that

Just curious, when pads are contaminated, is the only solution changing them?

I closed my eyes after looking at that photo..... and I could still see it

Its really good riding, whatever amount of time, makes me a little worried that im not at that level!! haha looking forward to seeing the next vid

Love the reaction of the two painters when you hopped the 3 bollard things! the genesis is lovely too! nice riding man

Wanted to take up trials for a few years now, got back into biking after years out because of a DH injury..I wanted a style of riding that didnt depend on other people,or dedicated trails,, because I've no mates into riding bikes, and theres not a massive scene where i live in ireland so basically started watching videos, mainly Ali C and Danny mac, and decided to buy a fourplay and get back out there.

Can i have some of that beginners luck please?

Fairly disheartening seeing this as newb...ha

yeah do mate, it looks great either way, i just think the stickers would finish it nicely

Good God thats sexy!, my temptation would be to get the inspired stickers back on, maybe a different colour or something., but for such an expensive frame to strip it was brave! looks big pimping mate!

Has anyone got any idea how much it costs to bring a bike by plane? Its only from Ireland? I'd love to go to this! Purely just to meet other trials riders! I don't know of anyone living anywhere near me that rides trials!

Cheers mate I'll give that a look,I use a 661 at the minute but its not great
