How much room was there on fat Albert either side
Have run a Fat Albert and a Big Betty on my Radix and both were more than fine for clearance? I've got sport lite rims and even on those they were fine? You'll have no problem I reckon

@RossBurnside I'm 20 and I ride a bike (all be it a boring bike) for a living. I'm completely over qualified for this level of work but I love it.
As long as you don't let your life get stale, have a passion for something and have a sense of urgency about you. you'll be reet x

I get what you all mean by stop stressing and I probably should. What @dann2707 said about an engineering course is actually a brilliant idea, and I now feel pretty stupid not stopping to consider it before
I think the travelling idea is what will be put into play first, just driving round the UK and Europe with my bike in the back of the car doing stupid things with @Herbertlemon102 is the dream. I'm not so much worried about what qualifications I get, it's more the fact I have no idea what I want to do and every adult I speak to about it is telling me how the "choices I make now determine the rest of my life", and although I understand that's to be considered a load of bs it still sets in and sits in the back of my mind. What I'm most worried about is getting old. Albeit I've got a fair bit of time before I'll be too old and start looking back on everything, but the thought still scares the absolute sh*t out of me.

It hit me the other day I'm leaving college this year with shit grades in 2 A Levels and a BTEC I have no interest in pursuing, no idea what I want to do in life, no plan for after college, all my friends are viewing unis and looking into courses and I don't even know if I want to go or what the f*ck I want to do, am more than broke thanks to car and bike, the nearest people to me I actually want to go see are all a fair bit older than me and are getting on with their lives with full time jobs, girlfriends, uni, no time to ride/see each other, and I feel like I'm being left behind because all I have to do is ride my bike. Everyone around me's stopping riding and I feel like I've barely even started. Help. Drowning.

I'm with Pete, we ride around the Brighton/Newhaven areas most, but I'm at college in Burgess Hill during the week and Haywards Heath is only a short drive away - Give me a shout if you're free any week days during the day/after work/College!

Lazenby was running one at Radfest over the weekend - Even after a full days riding I watched him repeatedly smash the absolute sh*t out of them against a concrete slab with edges you'd avoid even on a dh tyre and tube. He dented his rim, caved in the sidewalls in about 3 places, and the tyre held fine - Not even a slow when we woke up the next day. They seemed to grip just as well as the mod tyres too.

My slaves used to slip in echo clamps i had - I just roughed up the slaves with a bit of sand paper and it seemed to work. Good luck my dude x

If the crack is as big as you say it is, new frame. A small crack you can weld over, sure, but a crack that large has definitely caused major structural damage.
Also remember where the crack is: If it's at the bottom of the downtube near the bb, consider how much stress/strain is put on that one section of the frame (bearing in mind you said it's made it's way round the tube too), and do you really want to trust a weld to hold not only a rider's weight but also however much you're stressing it when riding? Depends how skilled your welder is I guess. Good luck dude

I need to know who this is

Gnarly is an understatement - Some of the lines in there were insane! As was the music

There's a fair few spots down this way - Would anybody be interested in a ride here? About 6 or 7 of us ride on a regular-ish basis. Would be cool to see some new faces!

I guess on the website they have literally said "a new chapter" :/
edit: "Onza is now 25 years old. Its roots go back to being pioneers of MTB with revolutionary parts and original tyre designs. After 10 years, it stepped into mountain bike trials producing world champions and national titles along the way. Now 25 years on it returns to the MTB scene by producing 2 fresh steel frames. The Jackpot and Payoff are just the start of bright return to its heritage. New Chapter? More like the story has started again."
