  1. Usually integrated headset bearing don't sit proud to the headtube to leave a few mm space for the crown race and top bearing race. Try persuading the bearing home with a few light taps with a hammer to try and get it seated. Also from the photo it looks like you put the bearing in dry, take it out and grease it before putting it in. This will stop the headset from creaking when the bike is built up. I hope this helps.
  2. I do find this slightly humorous, although it is getting annoying. Shercofray Know's who I am, ! rode a few moto trial competitions with him a few years back. We both used to ride Sherco's, he used to ride the hard course and he was pretty good at it too.
  3. You lot can think what you want. I'll be kicking around at the trials jam anyway .
  4. This is a true point. If any of you are attending the Freewheel Jam in June, You'll have chance to meet me, I'll have a T-shirt on with my name on the back.
  5. My mother named me John, I could write than on a piece of paper as that's my name
  6. It's getting really annoying how everyone thinks this is Brad! My name is John, I'm an electrical Inspector for a local electrical company!
  7. Sorry Trials-Forum, but I needed somewhere to release my anger. It was a standard Saturday morning; at least that's what I thought. I woke up to the depressing sound of my alarm, which I managed to snooze four times. Already late for work, I swiftly got out of bed and scrabbled to the bathroom; being extra careful not to wake the wife up, to my despair I realised I was out of toothpaste. I quickly got dressed to go to the shop to grab a tube of pearl drops. As I walked down my path to the street where my car is parked I noticed my front near side tyre was down. I got out the car lighter air compressor and began to inflate the tyre, not realising how much noise I was making. I finally got the tyre inflated, and drove down to the supermarket. I grabbed a tube of toothpaste and made a swift exit after paying of course. As I got bad to the house I unlocked the front door to me greeted by the Mrs, with a face like thunder, she then went on to give me an earful of how much of an inconsiderate ar*ehole I am for waking her up after she had been on a night shift, I ran up to the bathroom and brushed my teeth and then made a dash to downstairs and out of the door, apologizing to Sue on the way out. Without time for breakfast or a cuppa I set off for my drive to work. 45 minutes into my journey down the A1 I found myself stuck behind a guy in an brand new Audi A6 who was hogging the middle lane, I flashed him to move out of the way as he was driving at 60MPH on a 70 road, yet he carried on in the middle lane. I spied a break in the traffic and pulled into the right hand lane for the over take, as I got beside him, I was confronted my the fattest bloke I've ever had the pleasure to set eyes on, he then turned to face me and made an inappropriate hand gesture before flooring it. I pulled back into the middle lane and the Audi slowed back down to 60MPH and proceeded to brake check me . I don't cope well in situations like this. All my anger boiled up so I tail gated him and then down shifted and when for the overtake once again. As I got beside him, the d*ckhead floored it again so I pulled back into the middle lane and he had slowed down to 60MPH. This kept happening for 15 Miles until exited onto the M18 to my delight! Anyway I managed to get to work only 15 minutes late and the rest of the day went considerably well until I got back home. I walked through the front door and into the living room, and turned on my laptop to submit my work. To my disbelief the laptop wouldn't turn on. I took the laptop to a computer shop to get looked at, where he told me it was time for a new one! Anyway I managed to borrow a laptop from my nephew and started to submit my work, as I got to the last load of information to submit the software crashed and had to do the lot all over again! My day was bad!
  8. The place you're riding looks like my worst nightmare; so many angles.

      Just my opinion really. If i was selling racelines, id make sure everyone could see the logos. The yellow on the lever body seems a bit brighter than the slaves (and not just cleaner)

      Doesn't say anywhere that they are racelines on th ad though

  9. Get the Deore, you won't regret it. From new they do need the hose shortening and a decent bleed (For some reason the factory bleeds are spongy) and you may need to grease the back of the pads because they do make a cracking noise when they lock up.
  10. I tried to arrange this an event here a few weeks back. Rosa invited me down to speak with her regarding holding the event. After an hour of waiting around, she asked a bloke to speak to me about the event, he replied with oh i can't i'm busy. Quite frankly i thought that was really rude of him so i walked out without speaking to either of them.
  11. The guy on the 20" has so much style!
  12. Hi, thanks for the query, please feel free to email freewheeldisplayteam@hotmail.co.uk with any suggestions. I like the idea of outside obstacles, so this is a possibility. Please keep any suggestions coming.
  13. Good evening all. We are currently in the final stages of the planning of our riding event. This is the official thread and we will be posting regular updates. Feel free to ask any questions. Many Thanks: John.
  14. Hi Mikey, One of the lads I used to ride with back in the day runs a profile on his bike, its about 9 years old now and has still never skipped a beat and runs really smoothly.
  15. Hi, I'm almost certain the Tensile stem that comes standard on the 26" Onza Genesis is something of a similar geometry. Edit: My bad, i think it could be a 25* angle on those ones.
  16. We had a little bit up on't moors at around mid day.
  17. Hi Ian. I have a meeting tomorrow with the owner of Dynamix Skatepark, this venue seem's perfect to hold the event, it's just down to cost. As well as this we are meeting up with a guy who has a warehouse we may be able to use. As soon as we have a venue booked it's all go from there. Cheers.
  18. I've had a meeting this afternoon with the owner of R-kade skatepark in Redcar ( http://www.r-kadeskatepark.com/ ) and the guy seemed very keen on the idea. He's currently in the process of building an external trials park so he liked the idea of hosting the event. The guy wanted to know how many people we can expect and he want to know if any big named riders will be popping down as this will be a good talking point for the event. He also want to find a big sponsor for the event, and he kept trying to hint for me to try and get Danny Macaskill there He liked the idea of giving prizes out, and wanted to try and get cash prizes for some of the competitions. I took a load of photo's of the park and i'll upload those as soon as i can. Any questions or suggestions are welcome, just fire away. Many thanks.
  19. I read through the dispute that was put up on this site, I'm well aware of what's going on, I'll continue to keep an eye out, and next time myself and Brad will be having words. Thank you for giving me the heads up anyway. Cheers.
  20. Hi Dann. That comment wasn't really necessary, If you've got a problem with Brad can you please take that up with him, he has his own account for this forum as well as a facebook account. I'd prefer not to have this negativity on any of my threads. Thanks.
  21. Good evening, I'm currently looking for a company to purchase a few things from. Firstly I need some T-shirts printing, I'm just wondering if anybody could help me out. Previously we had 4 T-shirts printed which cost us £65! I'm pretty sure they where well over priced, but we needed the shirts to be done at short notice. Anyway, I'm just wondering if anybody knows of a trustworthy company, that is fairly priced and good quality, I'm wanting about 10-15 shirts printing, 8 of which will have names on. Secondly I'm wanting vinyl transfer stickers printing, 50 in Black and 50 in white. We recently used a local company to print these stickers, but we had to wait a month for them, and when we got them they weren't how we asked them to be. Also how much can I be expecting to pay for 100 stickers. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, John @ Freewheel Display Team.
  22. The Email address used to sign up, was one of Brad's. He told me to sign up to this forum but I didn't get around to doing it, so he kindly made me an account.
