Quite good Video mate i had a littl trouble downloading it, but i got it in the end, and it's a little plain, and it would have been better if you filmed it durring the day as a lot of it was too dark like trialbiking said very bluntly, how long have you been riding? the video was a bit short, but i think the main thing you need to change in your next video is film it in the day, appart from that it wasn't too bad. also the music isn't my style (coldplay are too repetitive) good luck in your next video. I did notice one other massive thing you were missing... Mike!!!

Yeah you've gotta make sure you get the right cranks for the BB otherwise it won't fit. The tensile uci cranks( here ) are very good quality crankset but they're not cheap, where as the Raceface Crankset is cheaper, but you sacrafice quality for price, but you can get the Raceface crankset in square taper, but it doesn't come with a bash ring. i suggest you look around: supercycles ChainReaction TartyBikes Hope this helps! Good luck and i hope you make the right choice Mike!!!

A T-Pro for sell you say, what year? how much? any pics? Mike!!!

The bike looks nice, not to sure abou the stem though. i was looking around your site, and saw that helmet, did you make it or just drill a load of holes in a manafactured one, surley you sacrafice the strength by drinlling holes in it (if thats what you've done) looks ok though. nice one mate! Mike!!!

yeah maybe on a BMX or a mountain bike, and some Trials bikes, but a lot of the tire's walls sit deep down into the rim wall, and as they have all sorts of metals and fibres in the walls of the tires to make them tougher it doesn't stretch as easy. on most normal bikes the tire relies on the pressure in the innertube to ensure it is held tightly onto the rim, but on trials bikes the air pressure is a lot lower and so the tire wall has to do more work, this is why they are fitted into the rim tighter. Mike!!!

you could move thw wheel as far forward as you can and take a single link out of the chain, but i had the same problem with my bike before, it turned out that the freewheel was slipping, so i replaced it with an ACS Freewheel, that was about 5 months ago and it's been fine since. if the problem happens again possibly try getting your mits on an ENO freewheel, they're the most reliable freewheels on the market, but will set you back about 80 big ones The reason it slipps is because you've got a small chainring you get a lot of torque which puts a lot of pressure on the freewheel and can cause the teeth to slightly round off and they won't lock into position properly when you pedal suddenly, causing your cranks to spin effortlessly and sending you knee into your stem at hight speeds resulting in a hell of a lot of pain and a day or two of funn walking. talking from past experiences Good luck getting the problem sorted anyway mate! Mike!!!

Nice Vid mate! cool riding style! the bike looks tiny on you if only it was a bit longer. where is that place? Mike!!! Edit: if only the video was a bit longer not the bike it's alread plenty long enough!

tell them to add a little anti-freeze / coolant to their de-ionised water next time they bleed them, that way they can still keep the feel you get with water, and not have to worry about them freezing, Mike!!! Edit: Baby Oil? what like johnson's bath shizzle? how the hell did you discover that one? sounds interesting though, let me know how it goes if you do decide to put it in your brakes, good luck!

interesting topic, and some even more interesting solutions. i had the same problem with my mission. A lot of tires go quite far down into the rim, i just took the wheel into my bike shop, and got it back 2 days later with a new innertube. sometimes it pays to be lazy! anyhow have you got it off yet mate? MIKE!

msn has been having a lot of problems latley. i hope you don't start up a new topic every time it's down that will soon clog up the forums.
