  1. The distance between my top mounts of the 4 bolt mounts on my frame is 90mm. This means I cannot run any of the boosters seen on Tartybikes website. I have been thinking about buying a Magura booster, but I cannot find any information about the bolt hole distance. This is the booster I'm thinking of buying - Magura booster
  2. Oi Oi Kieran. I'm 30 mins from London, but I'm gonna be on heading north. shame, but hopefully you'll get your job and place then we can ride loads.
  3. Jonny Jones didn't show up, but we still had a great ride, and had lines being busted out.
  4. So your all coming but are you riding the whole weekend? If you are, where you staying?
  5. So where are people staying on Saturday night?
  6. Great find Hannah. It does seem unlikely, but I can't imagine they got the address wrong in the report. I've been to that warehouse before Dan properly f**ked it all up, and I gotta say he had 2 floors in his warehouse then. So it does match the report. Can anyone find out what the address was that the police searched the house of? As Dans address Coburn Gardens, Cheltenham. Last I heard someone had taken over trials uk. Maybe it was so they would have the warehouse and could then turn it into this. Hence the part about goingbto a residential house linked to the warehouse, but releasing them. That does make sense. I heard recently that Dan is now in the import/export business.
  7. Saturday is looking a bit wet, but Sunday is looking better.
  8. Jonny, any chance of blagging a lift if you've got space? Scratch that, I got demo's that weekend. Real shame that I can't make it. Hope there's a great turn out for Gav.
  9. lol Would be good to get rooms in the same hotel.
  10. I got some TNN Belaey pads last week. I also got a Echo SL rim for the rear, with that built up and ground (was tough to get through the paint work) and running the Belaey pads, I have to say I'm quite surprised. Mine are very quiet, with an occasional squeak, so not sounding good, however the feel is very solid and they hold really well. So though they are quiet, they are working well.
  11. I'm tempted to come all weekend. Are people staying in hotels? I'm bringing Adrian Jordan with me, so if he's up for it we'll be grabbing a hotel room if anyone wants to drop in a reduce the cost.
  12. Yes it is possible. I myself run a front freewheel on my cranks with a fixed cog on my rear hub on a vertical dropout frame with a sprung tensioner.
  13. Well I'm riding Reading with some guy's from Derby.
  14. I'll be coming on the Saturday, and in conjunction with Mike's offer, can offer a sofa bed and floor for the sat night for those wanting somewhere to stay. I don't think I will be going to Hook Woods, but I do live 8 miles 20 mins away from there.
  15. Anyone got a frame for sale?

      Kieran, there pretty pricey, and Wonganut, I'm not keen on the marino frames

  16. I tend to ride towards a vertical wall an angle and bunnyhop into it, but at the same time you need to try and turn the bike side ways so that the wheels roll along the wall. It's often easier to learn and a sloped wall first.
  17. Sweet, I'll enter if I'm free. Scratch that, just checked and I'm unavailable, got a demo in London. Shame, hope it goes well anyway.
  18. That's cool, more than happy to help.
  19. Will you need a license to enter? Also what type of terrain will the comp be?
  20. Myself and Adrian Jordan are from Woking in Surrey.
  21. Don't matter, there's ramp with sides and stuff that you can ride, plus the foam pit. I love riding park, especially mixing it up with trials. I'm hoping to learn back flips. Confirmed riders: Myself Si Sagar and a mate Jonny Jones Sean Stanley Ian Johnstone Ali C Paul seddon
