  1. D/Ling now, sounds like it's lot better value! EDIT: My spot scores aren't saving
  2. I've had mine on for over a year, bought it on Dec 21 2007, and it's still going strong.
  3. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=29321 £44.99, what the f**k is it for?!
  4. Apparently... - Front Brake: Try-All/Hope Disc 155mm - Rear Brake: Try-All/Hope Disc 190mm
  5. Well I couldn't get there, Ben's car was full and I couldn't afford £60 for the train
  6. Thats what I thought, but the switches on the back of the triangle are nice.
  7. What games would people recommend?
  8. KMC 510HX http://www.extreme-direct.co.uk/products-B...HROME_46637.htm
  9. I installed Leopard via firewire by using an iPod as a boot drive, so you don't need the drives, but you do need a firewire/usb external drive (I'd suggest FW, makes it slightly easier).
  10. Dunno, my CK is a few years old, but I'm not sure how old specifically. Although it's been through 3 bikes and 4 builds for me over the last 2.5 years, and it's still going strong.

  12. Nice one Rich, you're looking really comfortable on that, loved it!
  13. Enjoy DD, it's the best.
  14. I don't really think I could notice 5mm difference, be it CS, BB rise or reach, when I changed from my Echo Lite forks to my Dob forks, they were shorter, so the BB dropped 5mm, but I didn't notice the difference in the ride. I'm sure a pro or a very talented rider would notice it, but I don't think an average joe would, and I also think people make way too much fuss over geo. Rich has gone from Echo to Czar to Zoo and whatever and now is riding a Phase, which has fairly different geo to the other bikes, with regards to bb rise, yet he's getting on with it really well. Ben Savage himself said "18/02/2009 - I am very pleased with how the Limey2 rides, on my first outing I pulled my biggest rear wheel gap ever. I was a worried about returning to a low bottom bracket after riding frames with a +30 and 40 bb rise for so many years. I actually prefer the feel of the lower bb, it makes the bike allot more stable and generally easier to ride." I'm a believer that a lot of trials is mental ability, I hadn't ridden in 6 months but I went out the other day, and pissed a gap I was having trouble with when I was at what I felt was the peak of my riding, I also got a static to back that I've never even tried before, and it only took me like... 3 attempts, because I believe in myself, and my ability. I'm not saying that geo doesnt make a difference, because it does, but I feel a lot of people buy bikes and then say "yeah that feels a lot better than my +10 bike" whereas in reality they're riding worse and their style is shit. I dunno... I don't really care ride for fun, that's what I'm all about, I'm shit, but I have fun, so it's all good!
  15. Yeah we got conti tubes, but I'm happy going to my LBS and getting 2 tubes for a fiver. Paul, might have a few off you, I'll pm you now.
  16. You know I probably wouldnt be able to make a video, but I could certainly give you some feedback on the mod frame, if you need another rider, also, I could be a middle man between the Cornwall and the Bucks riders.
  17. This might seem weird, but I'm looking for tubes with a fully threaded Schrader valve, if such a thing exists, does anyone know where to get them from?
  18. I've got a Chris King and it's very easy to pedal, what's your point? 18:12 is a light ratio, that's just how it is. Unless of course your friend has a bigger sprocket on the back, or a smaller sprocket on the front, which would make him a bit of a fool.
