its great fun. go out for a blast on bmx, session trials when you feel the need. its completely different in the way that you dig a jump back 3 foot instead of getting 1" on a sidehop, really see the difference. the trouble with its just such high speeds which are hard to get used to with a trials background, but alot of fun when you get fast enough. my advice is do it. its great fun, but you might end up taking a couple summers off trials...

Thursday night i can do and am amazingly up for it. 6:30 at train station? who can make it?

dunno if it has finished changing yet, last time i was up there, it was all borded off for building, nightmare, it was the ultimate park. theres still plenty to play around on anyway, well have a good session. who is availible for saturday the 6th of june?

Will be good to see you again steve, we are looking at a reunion ride, when uni closes down for summer and everyone gets back to the bridge. would be better to see some new blood around the town aswell. come along.

Any one still riding in cambridge? summer is back in, the sun is shining, and im almost ready to dust my bike off again. around most of the time, but can be busy, just looking if anyone is interested in riding in the city sometime next month or evenings. there used to be alot of good rides years back, and its time to get them going on again. anyone going to join me?

yea, me and liam ALWAYS used to listen to less than jake. good old times video. lot of fun making it, just wish it was dry.

ill see how busy i am closer to the time, but im up for dusting off my old leeson, havnt been to pboro in a long while. good street there too.

what days u down? im real busy, but can prolly do weekend or friday night...depending. im out of town tues-thursday and working so mid week isnt going to happen (unusual for working 2days lately) yea im dusting down the old bike lately, should be a good laugh, dunno who else will come, but well find out eh?

yea, sounds like you need a 24" there almost as capable as a 26" for trials stuff, but they feel like abmx, light and whippy for any streety bits. just puts a bit more fun and variety into your ride. if you are thinking of buying a leeson ive got one thing to say. Clive Leeson is a decent, honest bloke and makes one hell of a bike. i do reccomend him. ultimately go round and ride a fair few bikes and figure out what u like. its the only way to decide, cause its all personal choice.

guess not, im off riding

ride in cambridge tomorrow. me and Todge are in so far, anyone else? meeting at the trainstation around 12 feel free to come along. if u cant find us, my number is 07506567293 see you there, last minute planning, hence the late post.

Spot on. i tried it with my old zebdi when i killed my ET, having no money, but being at college i welded on some 24" mounts on the bottom of the seatstays, rode well for a while. it does make the bike feel more "compact" and a bit lower, but not huge amounts of difference, lots of fun. go for it i say, ull be able to experience a 24 without the expense, just a bit lower than a real one. as said before, its better for streety stuff, but "pure" trials is still possible on them.

personally id just replace the one nipple, save yourself most of a day (if your unexperienced) can be done in a couple hours if you know what your doing though. for the building part check out http://sheldonbrown.com/wheels/index.html - wheel building god. if your getting a new hub, youll find out how to build a wheel pretty quick. just take your time, make sure the pattern is right all the way through (1 spoke out can make you start again, ive done it.) then just slowly bring the wheel into tension when its straight (1 turn all the way round) untill there all tight and youve got a strong wheel. basicly replace the 1, then when u get a new hub have some fun.

in histon! when are u coming down next time alex? should get some dates going for rides really any ideas?
