Nice pics ;) I would like them more but i am currently too jelous of your riding spot (Y)

Il try to find it for you from what i remember though it wasent that great as it was only filmed from 2 angles (Y) but it will give you an idea of the riding. il post back when i get any progress :D

good vid :P i got 5.12 mins how long should it have been im gathering longer as it cut keita (sp) off whilst doing a side hop :P First one still topped it though :-

Word on the street is that I made a vid :- But its 8mins long and im on 56K so it never got seen :P Was footage of the comp on the final day as that was when i went Gavin

As a part time job its really good as its flexibal and enjoyable :- My interveiw was not that hard really gave him my CV explained about my intrests and built a bike up for him. I must have given a good impression as i got the job there and then :D The only down side I could say about the job is that when it gets real busy its a bit stressfull as we build the bikes in an open work shop area on the shop floor so when its busy you cant get on with doing on persons bike without another butting in. But this is mainly down to our store been seriously under staffed at the moment ;) All the people i work with are all real nice too even the manager and i have met three new trials riders that work there :( Also the christmas parties rule :lol: So yer be confidant show your intrests and that you know what your talking about and good luck (Y) :(

By the amount of riders on here that work at halfords and are bored at work expect alot of calls :P Mine will be soon :P" :S

I was talking about that pic with someone the other day but i cant think where i have seen it :P if any one has it please post it (Y) :P

Some good pics there :) My bro has just got the base model mad as he is getting into trials and apart from the obiously things like a shimano hub and poohy v brakes (what more do u expect for £300) I think it rides amazingly :D and he is getting maggies soon B) Was it just me or was this bank holiday weekend insanely busy at work? (halfords) But a good thing to note is that apollo excels are now discontinued :D but the new range are even worse :"> (everyone opend so far has had buckled wheels which means more time building and trueing them and in the company of annoying pikey customers :blink: )

Yer thats where i got mine mega cheap and good service as they arrived in under a week. I was worried about import Tax ect but there were no hidden charges :) I got a rear pewter classic + front ISO pewter + pewter head set for around £300 all included :) I didnt buy any extra such as axels, fun bolts and steel drive shells and its been running fine for bout 6 months im just not looking forward to replacing my cassette as its gunna be mashed :)

Gun metal ala fred (N)

I may come depending on the wheather and if my neck feels better (as i can only look straight ahead at the mo :) ) i cant stay that long though as i have to be at work at 4 but that is only a 5 min ride away :) How are you lot getting there train , car ? as if im there il meet up with you :)

yer we did laquer it did about 3 coats (one of which stuck to the boot of my car :) ) so it should be fairly durable. PS that free front tyre from tom looks good too :) PPS im still impressed with your wheel placing on the big cooton reel at shoebury park :)

for a while now ive been having problems with my CK headset's crown race not fitting on my steerer tube properly (the gap in the pic) and ive noticed that my headset is always very slightly loose. however i cannot get it tight as if I tighten my star nut any more it pulls out of the steerer. (btw it went in easy so i was wondering if fattys have a slightly larger inside tube diameter so redering the nut ineffective? if so what is the solution?) The solutions i have tried are getting a new star nut. and checking the steerer tube has enough spacers on it. So the only reason I can think of for this to be happening is the gap. so i was wondering if I took my bike into my LBS would they be able to use a crown race setting tool to put it on further. Rather then my attempts with a hammer :ermm: ? or is there a known incompatibility(SP) with fattys and CK headsets? the pic (soz bout blurrrrrreynessss :( ) http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/gallery/1113...56_13_37987.jpg

Where did you get that from?

ok cheers yer i was suprised when i found this 2.5 for £20 (Y) im kind of thinking against the front 2.2 hot S now cause of the price :unsure: what other front tyres are good? isnt there a maxxies one that is suposed to be good? :(

indeed you did many thanks :unsure: i was just unsure about the tubeless bit Any one got any idea on the wear rate of the tyre?

http://www.allterraincycles.co.uk/product.php?pid=522 is this the rear tyre that i suposed to be really good as i was going to get a maxxies minion but ive heard good things about these (if its the right one :P) and theyre cheaper too. :( What makes me unsure is that it says its tubeless (Y) also are they recomended as i think the tread looks really nice. Also rather then start another topic where is the best place to buy a 2.2 hot S from as i want this as a front tyre but the only place i can find them is CRC where they are £29.99 which seems really expensive when the site above has the 2.5 for £20 :P which i was thinking about getting for the rear but i think they pinch alot :unsure: Cheers gavin :P

Anyone got any actual pictures from the show of him riding it ?

HAHA that makes it sound so good :angry: My email will be with you ASAP as i would very much like a copy after hearing that excellant idea Even though we know andy T's vids are top notch theres no saying that this one will be bad and i think having a proper DVD copy of the footage pays for its self really and theres no stopping you downloading andys vid as well if you want :angry:

I thought it was neil that did the gap (as said earlier in the thread) :lol: Or did they both do one? im confused

Its nice to know that trials is such a friendly and close sport compared to some and one that I am very privilidged to be part of :P Im sure DJ would be stoked that some top pros are wearing a T dedicated to him :P A job well done i must say :P congrats to all involved PS any chance of the vid of the gap if its the one ive heard rumors about itl be good to see :lol:

il wait for somebody to watch it and hear the feedback. If its good il deffo be buying a copy ;) . another bonus of a proper DVD is the ability to be able to watch it on a big TV in an arm chair rather then stuck in front of a PC (Y)

I thought that it was Gilles (sp) that was signed by koxx and that Giacamo(sp?) was concentrating on rally driving or something (Y) or was it both of them ? BTW another great vid you should be proud :- cant wait for the full one :-

Is the DVD just footage of the comp or is there footage of the street riding as well? Also i got the koxx days 04 DVD and had to send it back as it wouldnt play properly skipping etc was this just a bad copy or are they not conpatible with all DVD players? As I dont have a proper DVD player just the drive on my PC and a PS2 would it play on these? If it will I would be very interested and will mail you at some point :- PS any chance of a price without mailing as im lazy (Y) Cheers Gavin :-
