  1. Chris Kings have been available for years, I had one in 2003, and I bought that second hand off Wayne, plus Adam was using them before that. They weren't really affordable though... so what you're saying is you'd like an affordable Chris King? There's a difference.
  2. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....howtopic=109979 Check out that post. Theres a lot of stuff in there. "Mod 2 Is not being released as its Just Mod 3 but with a weighty CNC BB"
  3. Don't forget to put a disc mount on your mod frames Oh and the show is the 13th-16th, for those wondering.

    Birthday.

    What kinda price range? Jessops.com is your best bet.
  5. Theres plenty of shit about it in the Onza thread in the News section, you should probably look in there. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....t&p=1513837
  6. All the sources I've looked at say it was available for free download from primalscreamremixed.com via bittorrent. I've also found it's ridiculously hard to find and your best bet is one of these crappy "pay $0.10 per track" sites. http://mclub.te.net.ua/vcat.phtml?action=vs&album=41703
  7. Eventually they would all hit though... as soon as one hit, the fluid would go to the next one, then the next one, then the next one, until they were all pressed against the rim. But surely that would just be similar to a 4 pot brake, which we all know suck for trials, because it offers more modulation than bite, and that's not what we want.
  8. The album was free though.
  9. rdytfghj My day has been shit and good. Long story short. Liked an ex's friend, kissed her, thought she liked me back, she does, but nothing can happen cos of ex (which she told me today). In the mean time Friday girl stayed round mine who i've liked for 2 years, shes liked me too, but we've both been with other people. Kissed her, and now flirting with her on msn. Could have f**ked her but didn't cos of first girl, now not worried, might f**k her soon. So... good and bad, and I've learnt it's always good having a backup
  10. Probably illegally, but if you're running a professional business you'd probably want to do things the professional way. Would you wash and valet a customers car with a hose and then charge them full whack? No Then why should I design you a logo for free?
  11. Are you willing to pay the $26 for me to download the font?
  12. As far as I can tell... 12mm depth (into headtube) Ti top cap bolt 105.336355g
  13. It's tensioned with snail cams. They've been used on mods for the last 10 years, so you should be okay. Looks nice Max.
  14. It's a 160, in reality I could do with something along the lines of a 165, but I'm happy with it as it is. It's more than likely something to do with the disc mount, rather than the rotor or hub. I already had the hub, the brake cost me £50, which I then swapped with Muel and he sent me £20 so it ended up costing me £30, the frame and forks were £70, the hubshell was £45 and the service was a tenner, so all in all it cost me £155 for the entire setup, pretty cheap I reckon. As I said, "I haven't ridden much but so far I am really enjoying it, I cant wait for it to bed in properly as i'm sure it will be awesome."
  15. "a handful of students from the Academy of Contemporary Music, in nearby Guildford" Cool Well, looks all good, the song is cool too, not really my kinda thing, but decent anyway. Congrats man.
  16. Hey I dunno if there is much of a call for this, but I thought i'd post it up anyway. Background I've recently bought a Megamo frame, which was so I could go dual disc. I've had a few unrelated problems building it up, but the biggest worry for me was the disc mount, because I had a Chris King hubshell, so I'll show you how I mounted mine. I started with a CK BMX hub, which I had to buy an ISO hubshell for. I emailed AspireVeloTech about the price of a hubshell. They told me it was $85 plus shipping to the UK. I ordered one and within 5 days (including a weekend) it was here. I then sent it to TartyBikes along with my old hub and Adam serviced and swapped out the internals for me for £10 + postage. I then got down to the task of building my wheel, which was a hard task for me as it was my first wheel, but it seems to be holding up okay, touch wood. Tools/Parts List Chris King BMX ISO Hub - £369.00 from TartyBikes + $85 for the hubshell from AspireVeloTech. Hope Mono Trial Rear Disc Brake - £135 from TartyBikes. I picked mine up for £50 from the classifieds on here, complete with 2x 160mm Monty rotors. Hope Mono Trial Disc Rotor - Included with the brake. 6x M5x10mm Disc Rotor Bolts - Included with the brake. 2x M6x15mm Disc Caliper Bolts - Included with the brake. 4mm Allen Key 5mm Allen Key 8mm Allen Key M10 Washers - From my garage. I found 1mm thick was good for me. Hope Disc Shims - £1.99 from ChainReactionCycles. I found a 1mm and 5 .25mm worked well for me, which means you will need one pack of .25mm spacers. The build I mounted the disc on the Chris King BMX ISO Hub with the 6 M5x10mm Disc Rotor bolts, and tightened them up with the 4mm Allen Key. At first I thought it was easier to a snail cam on the outisde on the non drive side dropout, and a thick, 3mm washer on the inside of the dropout. Through time I realise this was stupid, so I'm now running it like this. (Excuse the shitty photo, my camera wouldnt focus properly) As you can see, I have the snailcam on the inside, but I also have a small 1mm washer on the FAR SIDE of the snail cam, this is so the snail cam engages into the bolts properly, but the washer helps space the hub out slightly. If you zoom in you should be able to see a small washer next to the snail cam, but before the hub axle On the drive side the snail cam is still on the inside as usual. When it came to mounting the brake that was simple, using the M6x15mm bolts and a 5mm Allen Key I had it on within seconds. I was running a +40 adaptor at first but have now decided to go back to a 160mm rotor for convenience sake for when I change frames. As soon as I tightened all the bolts, I found the rotor was rubbing. This was expected as I didn't think it would be as simple as screwing it straight on and hoping it would work. Thanks to Adam Griffin, I had some Hope Disc Shims which I then used to space it out sligtly. I've got .75mm worth of spacers on the front mount, and 1.5mm worth of spacers on the rear mount. I'm sure if my mount was faced properly I wouldn't have many problems at all. I found the best way to get it setup properly was to put the wheel in the dropouts and tension the chain properly, then tighten that side up with the 8mm Allen Key as tight as I could, I then moved the non driveside snailcam until it engaged with the bolt, and tightened it up. This meant my snail cams were in different places, but it still runs okay so I don't mind too much. Conclusion So there you go, basically I would say that it was worth doing if you're thinking about going DD. I haven't ridden much but so far I am really enjoying it, I cant wait for it to bed in properly as i'm sure it will be awesome, all in all the build didn't cost me that much, as I got fairly lucky with the disc brake, but you're still looking at under £125 if you look in the right place and already have the CK hub. The rear end of my bike As you can see in that final photo, both the snail cams are on the inside. I know they're set to different notches, but that's explained earlier in the post. I hope this post has been informative to some, sorry if it should be in the FAQ but I thought here it may be a bit more useful as people rarely look in the FAQ from what I've found. If anyone has any questions or comments, I'll get back to them ASAP. Cheers, Jon
  17. I meant things like Neil tunnicliffe, Joe baxter, adamant, zoo, etc.
