  1. clean. i dont know what it is about trialtech or any 2 jockey wheeled tensioner for that matter, but that bike sexy o' meter goes through the roof when the chain wrap is more towards the front sprocket. looks great though. really nice "georgian house with wifi" vibe. old school, new school, looks good, and im sure it rides well. :D

    Thanks! probably the first person to ever describe my bike as short:lol:, usually get told it's a right long barge of a set up with the big orrible clean bars 

    genuinely cant switch your bike on flat ground, its a mile long

  3. flipps was made by josh leech, mine and @isitafox was made by alex dark, but neither of them can produce any more due to current circumstances. i went for them over euan because the wheel rim wasnt dished, and it was a much more solid build. from what id heard, Euan just machines the driveside down. when i asked him if he could do mine, he said it wasnt possible for him (110mm) and the Alex went and did it perfectly anyway. so its a bit of a difficult one.

  4. Got my hasselblad film back. Have 5 duff slides which is a shame. I use the hasselblad alongside my 1D, and it’s much more fun imo :D the 1D is my boi for shots that are needed quickly and on demand, but the ‘blad has so much more depth to it. My uni shop sells 120mm film too which is a bonus. Anyone else shoot with film still?

    Potentially, but as there were at least 2 other rides going on with 5 people it suggests it might have just been down to something else specific to this ride/weekend?  All I mean is I don't think one ride is a necessarily representative of a whole country.

    It is sucky that you ended up getting there to be greeted with that though Jamie (and the posts on FB too).

    If people had said they were riding elsewhere I would’ve been just fine, not ask me where to park and then ride elsewhere with no indication. 

    Still, it’s whatever. Just a bit of a downer :( 

     

     

  6. Id just like to make it a point here that the Halloween group ride that was expecting around 30 people, with over 200 invited ( on facebook ), ended up with just being me and @aener, who wasn't coming until the last minute- so it was one small inconvenience away from being just me, and i don't know Sheffield well.

    people then commented/messaged me how many riders they had on their own individual rides back where they were riding, i mean not trying to be too rude here but thats f**king poor.

    people messaging me that people need a kick up the backside or they don't show up but didn't show up themselves are just as much part of the problem. 

    real kick in the balls.

    still had a great ride, but i only went to Sheffield to meet people i rarely see- me and Flipp would probably have just ridden elsewhere if it was originally set it was just us two riding like usual.

    its put me in a real, real downer and makes me want to stop flogging the dead horse that is trying to get people to ride these days. 

    If you’re not gonna show up, just say it.

    mini rant over. onto the next one, hopefully.

  7. I’ve always been a fan of the more melancholy music choices you go for. 

    Wayching the bike switch from silver-to-black wheels made me feel like I was watching one of your older videos on the all black bike, then somehow fast forwarding to the time when the frame was first released. Was a really nice nostalgic feeling. 

    Edit: it was all ridiculous. Wish the stars would line up so we could ride more.

    I don’t have Facebook. Is this a street trials ride or may any bike come?

    Any bike. It’s a big mix between everything. We don’t discriminate :D just wear a costume, that’s the theme. 

  9. This belongs in the member organised rides but no one ever reads that. 

    Birmingham and Wolverhampton this weekend for me, most likely a solo ride. Open to location changes. 

    the Halloween ride in Sheffield later this month, should be a good turnout.

    coventry pretty much every fecking day solo. 

    Ill keep updating it with more big rides when they come along, just because I want to. Feel free to join in, because I think we all know riding alone sucks some serious ballage.
