Topshop/man, New Look girls (check out the Disco range), Primark, etc.

Eclat Complex unpadded and some duct tape wrapped around the post to make it fit, sorted
-
Ah haha other way round
I dunno if he's still looking but try PMing Rob/Mitch as he was after a roadie. -
See, I'm too lazy to do that
-
Had a couple of problems one being i snapped a bolt in the frame putting the maggys on ( my fault for not checking the length ) so had to drill and re-tap to a 6mm..
Nooooooo!! Should have helicoiled it! Looks nice though man.

I'm contemplating getting a Chris King ISO hub and I have a few questions:
1: Do regular shimano/sram cassettes fit.
2: What is "Bedding in"? and how do you go about it?
3: They cost an Effin fortune so I want to look after it, what sort of maintenance routine should I do?
Thanks Dudes.
Matt
Yes
Bedding in is the process of using the hub for a few hundred miles in regular conditions, eg on an xc bike, just putting the miles into it to get all the splines worn (bedded) in to each other, if you don't do this you could end up killing your hub riding trials on it.
Check out "Tarty Adams King Service" vid if you can find it. Ideally you just wanna take the drive shell off every few months, clean the splines with a toothbrush and make sure everything is lightly lubed. Once a year or so send it off to Tarty to get them to service it, and you'll be fine.

You trying to get validated or something?
Yes
slash boredom and trying to be useful. -
About £180-£200, not the greatest of bikes but a good starter.hey james
if its got a sora groupo and is 2004.( no matter how good condition)
id say 150 to 200 quid.
hope this helps
I'm with these two. Good bike to start on and get your legs so to speak.
-
Yeah but in fairness everything except the rims and frame is good.
-
Seems quite expensive to me considering you're going to have to spend quite a lot on brakes.
-
Well Mark rides BMX, so he probably uses them on that.
-
like the trialtech sport which is why I recommend using the viz pro 720 bars
But yeah in all seriousness get a longer stem, an of the following would be good, depending on your budget,
Try-All 180x35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=29
TMS 170x35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=29
Viz Forged 175x35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=29
Echo SL 175x30/185x35 http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=29
Bars you'll want something like Monty/Try-All/Trialtech/Viz, again, depends on your budget
There's plenty of stuff in here http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/search.php?category_id=138 check out the Monty 219, Rockman 7046, Monty 221, Try-All Rage, Rockman 7075, Viz Pro720, and any one of those will be fine.
Personally if you're on a budget, then I'd go for the Try-All/TMS stem, and Monty 219 bars

Can't she just explain the situation?
-
Way to bump a 1 month old, solved topic.
It's probably worth it for this line alone,
It appears i have a stable full of Trojan horses!!Which is complete and utter gold!
-
Before people jump to conclusions, how has she ended up in this situation?
-
Either way, it won't be obsolete in a year.
Well I joined twitter about 2 years ago, it's just now all the celebs are on it it's grown hugely, won't be long until they all get bored and leave the actual users on there to get on with things. I think twitter is great, purely for the resources, as has been mentioned in the other thread in chit-chat.

You do get a lot of the 'I'm taking a dump' … 'I'm wiping my arse' … 'I'm about to flush' … 'I flushed' kind of people on there, but I don't follow them. I tend not to follow a lot of people so as not to get all the crap. With web developers, and other such geeks like myself, you tend to get more links to resources, and answers to coding bugs/problems etc.
Exactly. So many links, articles, resources, textures, etc. that it means I have to check my RSS much less frequently because I get everything via twitter. Also a good way to get critique.

30-50mm, so that must of taken them up to 5 years to get that big, yes?
Pretty much, if you plan on going that big you can't do it fast because there's too much of a risk of getting a blowout and f**king your ears for good, which is exactly what happened to my friend Beth, she tried to go from like 30-35 too fast and her ear pretty much fell apart, had to get it sewn back together on the NHS and now has a saggy earlobe with a hole in it and will have for the rest of her life.

I do take experienced members sound advice, there is other people who have done this other than this forum you know, there is other people in the world?
just because some senior member of this forum says you should do it in 12 months to 8mm doesnt mean he is right, if you look on actual piercing forums etc it says 2 weeks, depending on how your body takes it, my ear is fine, so why was i wrong to do it this way?
Errm... not that you know this but I actually considered getting my ears pierced and stretching them a few years ago, so I did a bit of research, and every site I went on said to wait like... 6-8 weeks between stretching. Also a number of my friends have stretched ears, a couple of them probably somewhere between 30-50mm, so don't think I know nothing about it you cocky little shit.
Yes it's physically possible to do it overnight, it obviously depends on your pain threshold and how well your body can heal, but in the long run it's going to do irreparable damage like Tom said about scar tissue in your ear lobe meaning they wont be able to be downsized.

About 8.2-8.5 I reckon.

Why ? It was fine until all the bitching began.
Retarded attitudes from people such as Prawn saying
If I ever saw anyone like that I'd almost certainly beat them to death with the nearest solid object, assuming they are the human incarnation of the devil....and ignorance from members such as Mat Smith, who doesn't wish to take experienced members' sound advice had just made it f**king stupid.
At the end of the day, if you don't like something, fair enough, you don't have to say that you want to beat them to death, that's completely ridiculous, and so f**king ignorant.

I'm still waiting for Odyssey JCPC's. The pedal is held together by the bolts that then become the pins, so I would imagine they're almost impossible to lose. Also they're just on bushings, not bearings, so they're apparently stronger.

Are you retarded?
Take the rim in one hand, hub in the other, put a spoke through the left hand flange, thread it into a left hand hole on the rim. Carry on from there, and you'll soon have a built wheel. It really isn't hard. Left hand flange to left hand holes, right hand flange to right hand holes. Tada. If you need to go to the hole to the right of the valve, then do it, just means you'll end up building from the right hand flange first, not the left.

I would have thought if something like that had happened, we'd know about it via one of the people on the forum who know him personally, rather than some random american on youtube.
