  1. some stantions would be cool, they seem pretty tough, but they are very exspensive! Theres some rst stanions off chainreaction are really cheap (under a 10er I think) but I dont know what diamiter they are. I want some steel legs or dropouts as I want a +20 disk mount so I dont have to use the heavy weak adaptor that comes with avid brakes, so that rules out some standard fork dropouts. I am still probably going to go with some pashleys, I am tempted to try and lighten my handsom dog superstrong forks, they are as tough as brick houses, but about 200g overweight, I recken I could get that weight off. I have also emailed some frame building companies to see if they can sourse me some tubes.
  2. 360 or 540 front pivots, liking my no footed squeekers too
  3. looks like deer park, a tyketrial venue near keighley, skipton, bingly, one of them
  4. maaybe....dont remember the way though
  5. respect, its the slippiest place on earth when its wet there!! I remember not even being able to walk on them let alone ride! Looks like you were doing some tricky stuff too, keep it up.
  6. hey thanks for the comments, mucho apreciated Was a MINT ride, nice to see many people there especially radio 1s main man Adam Phillips (bigman)not seen him in ages
  7. Doubt I'll be there, weather is gonna be baaaaad
  8. got some sus forks with steel legs bonded into an alloy crown, the legs are electroplated though, I hadnt really considered it, might be worth looking into.
  9. reeto, had a long chat with clive. He thinks his forks are a bit lightweight for serious tapping and hooking, he could get some straigh gauge tubes for it, but he is really lacking time to make forks and its not cost effective for him either. He is going to see if he has any tubing to suit the crowns I have, but he isnt over keen on the idea, he thinks the crown will break. I am still interested in giving it a try though. I'll give him a ring next week and see if he has found any tubes. In the end, we decided that getting some pashley forks and customising them would be the best bet. So sell me your good condition pash forks!! curtis forks are heavy and not very strong
  10. suspension have rake just like rigid forks. the crown is slightly offset forwards to the steerer, they are not in line I could ask iolo, but for for a one off like this it might not be practical (min tube length per order is 3 meters I think). I have some forks with the legs still in, I would like some steel dropouts to fit over those, thats somthing to ask about too
  11. cheers. If its to fit my crown, I'll go for straight, otherwise I'll take clives advice (probably straight too)
  12. rare "what part" topic by me. I want some forks, but a bit more customised than whats available. I have a few crowns taken from sus forks (fox, manitou). I would like to make some legs to fit, but I am having a hard time finding some. I would like steel as I can easily replair or modify them as they get used, plus I wont have to worry about heat treatment as much as alloy legs. I am also tempted to ring Leeson and see about some forks. Has anyone used leeson forks? They look a bit flimsy for my liking though. How much can he customise them would you think? I would like maybe fatter diam tubes to aid stiffness. I would also like to ask if I supplied my crown, would he be able to fit some legs (as he can get reynolds steel)? I would ring now, but I dont have his number, I'll look in the faq in a mo (unless someone wants to post it here), whens best to ring him? Cheers
  13. pardon?? kinda looks like maguras road brakes, but a lot older
  14. I have uploaded it onto youtube, its not as good quality, but at least it can be seen.
  15. heh heh was indeed bigman, we wanted him to bigup trialsforum but he never got the chance, but at least he managed to say about trials
  16. monty bars, rear vee and Joypads, cant see me changing those any time soon, the rest of the bike changes faily often though
  17. not sure if I am really allowed to sell things on here, best email me at dvclarkson@yahoo.co.uk if you want any info about getting them
  18. current ones are for sale now, moulded ones wont be for a few months, I still need to get a mould made, test compounds and finalise the backing design and then get a mould made for that too.
  19. I do indeed make the pads, I spent a while finding and testing different compounds untill I found one that works. I then buy the material in bulk and cut it to shape and glue them into new powerpad backings. I have sold a few pairs now and feedback has been great! I am gettin them moulded by a local firm soon as well as my own deisgn backings, I am also planning on making alloy mag and vee backings too. Getting them moulded will increase quality and I hope to sell though shops instead of from home.
  20. ridinghighuk sell 26" spank rims
  21. is the vid still there? I cant seem to find it Would anyone be able to host it for me?
  22. yes I am riding a +35mm frame, and I think the bb is too high! silly thread whore dave
