As far as I know, yes all the Jiz rims have got wear indicators on the sidewalls. The two rims are very similar although the Onza material is supposed to be "harder" (nb - this does not nesccarily mean stronger). More significantly the Onza rim has eyelets for the spokes which in theory means the wheel can be built with higher tension and therefore the wheelbuild, not nesccarily the rim (confused yet?) will be stronger than the Try-All's.

I'm fairly sure trials-uk.co.uk deals with the Speedrace frames but "they" may only have the stock version, you'd have to check the site or something.

I'm fairly sure the 47mm Try-All rim doesn't have the "Apollo line" on it. Same with the hog I think.

Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugely tight, as Ali said. I had a cassete go on my FR bike from doing roll backs (I think ) and to tighten that I used a *massive* breaker bar with the tool. Had it been done like a fairy then it would probably have come undone at a much more inoppurtune time rather than when backpedaling whilst being towed by a mate on his ped

Not if you went against the wind Erm been riding just under a year (inc. 2/3 months off for frame crackage and theivery...in the same year! ) Static flat to flat: 7 foot measured pallet edge to pallet edge Static to front flat to flat: same again Static up: 34-5" Rolling gap: not sure 8.5-9 foot maybe Tap: 43", 42" kept to backwheel, 33" on a rail 1/2 crank tap: 35" Too late for me to think of anything else

They're all just CLS bummers

Gutted, I do and it has to be the biggest doss job in retail. I do less work than all my mates and still get paid more than most of them (£4.85 an hour). Although I suppose it depends on the store, you might have a right tosspot for a manager.

The music was bearable? Although it was really short, that's probably one of your most enjoyable vids of you I've seen. Can't wait to see you in action on the Aorta.

Companies don't sponsor people for fun You seem "a little out of touch" with the real world Bealay etc are paid to ride because it's publicity for Koxx, not because they thought "hmmm those guys are World Champions, better whip out the cheque book so they can keep riding". By sponsoring riders they get more publicity which in turn means more sales which covers the riders' sponsorship costs so prices remain the same but turnover increases. There are much better ways to justify those shitty prices than through World Champions...

If you're contracted to work it that is, if you're a temp or something then you won't obviously.

Anyone else getting paid for Christmas day despite not having to go in at all? I've got to work New Years Day as well, big problem is I'm going to a party with my girlfriend to one of her college mate's houses. I go to 6th form at my school so I won't know anyone at all, meaning I'm gunna need to be completely bladdered to have some fun! f**k Ah well I'm sure double time will keep me goin...

He already has the big gimpathon, was begging goes off me and Dan at our talent show day haha. I'm just wondering why he still hasn't been validated with a first post like that....confusing. Anyway deffo get a mod to start with, I only began with stock cos I'd ridden 26" bikes for all of my serious cycling "career" so it felt right etc. It will be much easier to learn on, just ask Dave (well don't, he'll just rip it out of you). As I told you today try and get a T-Pro rather than a T-Bird as it will make life much easier later on with upgrades etc. And then just practice like a little bitch everyday til you get the basics down then you can piss about whenever you can be assed like the rest of us....

Well on paper: Chris King gives about 100 EPs at the pedals An ENO trials free wheel gives 72 IMO go for the King, I only have one on my bike because it's what came with it when I bought it 2nd hand but oh my god if I knew how nice they were I'd have made sure the bike I bought had one. A few people really despise of them though, especially Dan Ko who I ride with, claims he can't stand them but I reckon he's just jealous ....or maybe not lol But I still reckon King is the king Full warranty etc AFAIK Also forgot to add, if you really wanna save some money but still get good engagement points the new Tensile freewheel might be worth thinking about although I think the release date is still indefinite....

Erm no they haven't, they copied the mech off Tiso Copying isn't extactly "different" in the trials world nowadays...

It's supposed to be cooked at 120*C at 90psi I think, so you'll need to find a pressure cooker somewhere. We have one at our school/sixth form so you could ask at your school/college.

i.e. Boom and Boom again BOLLOCKS links don't work so here's the whole page: Top fuel stuff I love drag racing, my dad owns this 1934 Ford coupe. Runs 8.36 1/4 mile in full street legal trim. So fun being driven in it on the road What I don't understand is how he has gotten ~900 horses out of a 9 litre V8 (before 500hp extra N2O ) Yet all these engineers only manage 1000 out of an 8 litre engine with *4* turbos. Anyone else thinking of going to the Nitrolympics at Hockenheim next year? More on topic - I love the car I think it's a wonderful achievement and will lead to many improvements in other areas of automobile design. If I had the money I'm not sure if I would buy one, I'd just feel like a complete tosser in it but ah well.

You can put video files on any of the iPods available (even shuffle), you can only play them on ones with colour screens though.

LMAO! Look on the "Lessons" section and click on "What 'Not' to do!" It's Frika's faceplant haha, didn't expect to see that on his site

Everyone I've spoken to who has one says they look good but generally are a bit rubbish especially after the novelty wears off... But anyway anything bluetooth compatible will be able to exchange files with the phone

Hey Where Can I Find A Full Build Gu 20" ?
Shaun H replied to BaSe T19's topic in Beginners Trials Chat
tardyshites (tartybikes.co.uk) rejectdykes (selectbikes.com) or trials-UGay (trials-uk.co.uk) Any of them can sort you out I'm sure. -
None

Yes Probably around 50 or so

How come none of the people there appear to be actually looking at him?
