JT!

Any nudes of Hammond's co-driver?

All the non bleeding suggestions seem pretty good if you ask me. Another thing you can try is adjusting the tiny allen key bolt, although this is designed to adjust reach, it kinda can be used to adjust the bit point. Use that to bring the bit point back to where is was and see if that works out for you.

Just to let you know pictures are banned from signatures.

Nope, just czar (long mod disc) don't think there is a model name.

Well I'd post up here first, a lot of things on trials bikes can look bad, but they're actually not, like the subject of this topic. What you have going on there is completely normal.

Oh, i thought he meant someone was going to walk all over it... Why would it crack? It's a deng frame and i mainly ride natural.

Which is...?

Usually your standard bar ends will probably be quite wide for thin monty grips. It's best to use the ones that come with the grips, much lighter and they'll look better.

The joke is i came from the UK to the USA with that bike, and people here ride with the right hand doing the back brake, but my setup remains as is. I don't know, i know Peter who rides here (not you J trials) says he rides motorbikes or something like that so I guess he kept it that way to keep everything the same, every one else will just have to get used to switching i guess. The pedals are amazing, had to replace the pins pretty quickly as the allen key head ground off most of them, the only way i could get them out was to use molegrips and one or two had to be drilled out. New pins are nice and long and they are super grippy, light (but not made of magnesium) and they shed mud really well.

I most definitely would not give it to charity. The reason I said give it to charity would give reason for breaking edge. I mean, if someone asked you "Have you ever broken edge", "Yeah i took a sip of beer and earned myself 100 for doing it" you would get no respect from people who are edge. As opposed to "I broke edge as someone was offering me 100 to take a sip, I earned charity X 100" you might get out of it with a good real of respect even though you broke edge.

That's a top cap? WTF.

To be fair i don't think Jon has ever bragged about claiming edge, and I think he's only ever posted his tattoo once (that I remember seeing), he's only ever mentioned on some occasions that he doesn't drink usually when the thread is about drinking. I hadn't a clue what straight edge was until this thread. It's not like he has 'strightedge' plastered all over his sig or anywhere else for that matter. You see this is where I disagree with your decision to become straight edge over just saying 'I don't drink', because normally you could have just taken a sip and then given the 100 to a charity that works with alcholics and / or drug abusers. (Mind you in saying that if you didn't claim edge you probably wouldn't have been offered that anyway, but my point still stands).

Ok that is kind of where I have a problem understanding, I guess it's the difference between being edge and just saying 'I don't drink'. There's been many occasions where I've found myself with a glass of champagne (or some sparkling wine shit) in my hand because it's someone's birthday at work, or i'm at a wedding reception or something like that. Even the people who are driving will have a glass because there's not enough alcohol in one glass to have any effect on your in any way shape or form. Now i don't really like the taste of champagne, but i'll have a glass in honor of whatever it is we're celebrating just so we have have a chin-chin etc. Do you find that being edge stops you from doing things like that? Where as just saying 'I don't drink' will allow you to have a drink if you choose to depending on the situation. I mean, there's no real amount of alcohol in a glass so that can't be your objection. I suppose what I'm getting at is joining a group compared to just saying 'I don't do X' stops you from making reasonable exceptions. I'm not attacking your choice to not drink, as i didn't drink until a later age than most and have gone through all that awkwardness of turning down drinks etc, i'm just questioning the choice to take 'not drinking' to the level you have, to the point where even if you did want to have a glass of bubbly you couldn't.

Well kinda, i did miss one post where he said about not breaking edge. About saying he doesn't like the taste, but the taste of what? Is it breaking edge if you have some wine at church, or a sip of bubbly at a wedding? What about drinks that contain a % of beer.

Why do you care?

Well said! Jon, I find it funny how you're the first to jump in and take the piss out of other peoples life choices (and i know that first hand) just because you don't like / understand them when you have such strong controversial views on how you want to lead your life yourself. Me personally, I drink one (maybe two bottles) a night. Always staying under 3.5 untis. Once a week I allow myself a night to drink as much as I like, which isn't that much as i'm a lightweight, and I never drink much more than 4 or 5 pints so I never get shitfaced. I was a vegetarian before I came out here, reason was that's just how i was brought up, I didn't care if people ate meat and i believed people should eat meat, i guess my view mirrored your views in the sense that you're not going round trying to convert people, and in many other ways. The real question is do you not drink because you are straight edge, or are you straight edge because you don't drink. Have you ever drunk any alchol? Ever been drunk? Tried a range of drinks? Do you ever miss drinking (just having one)? Or have you just never come across an alcoholic drink you like? Would you try someones drink if it was something different or new? Sorry for all the questions but this kind of stuff interests me.

I don't know what half of it is off the top of my head... Erm, hope mono trials front and back, eno freewheel, azonic x pedals, zoo bars, KHE chain.... That's the important stuff. Monty rear hub which i hate with a passion, wrong size for the frame. There's a guy here who rides with them this way round as he came from motorbikes. There's no way i'm swicthing... ever. I'm not a very harsh rider, i don't like them either really, prefer the echo / gu etc but they do the job.

Usually cops are only dicks if you have something to hide or get all arsey about it. If you didn't do anything wrong and didn't have anything illegal on you, what's the problem?

Yeah that too. Like was said above, it depends what paper you read, or where you get the definition from. I'd be interested to know about the guy that died, how exactly was he drinking, everyday, or getting slaughtered a couple of times a week?

Well said, binge drinking is defined from "Drinking anything over 3-4 untis in one day" to "Drinking to the point where day to day tasks (like work or school) aren't attended because of drinking".

In need of PM.

In before "Why such a large rotor".

Nah

I did.
