  1. Petrol works wonders for cleaning rims.

    Your brakes also work really good for about 10 minutes after.

    This man knows it! It also works superbly for cleaning all the rubbish off your chain :)

  2. Super stuff congrats...on a more serious note what a massive overreaction.

    I have had a drive-by attack, some passenger in a van lobbed a half-ful coke bottle at me whilst going 30, caught me right in the chest....some serious expletives errupted after that!

  3. REALLY? they are the gashest feeling bars ever for me, doublewalls kick thier asses :P

    nice bike, i would like to try one out, hows it feel for grinds? i can imagine its a bit tricky to get into position?

    The old ones I agree with you enirely Paul but the new ones actually have some sweep :o and feel a lot better. Still not quite as good as double walls but one hell of an improvement.

  4. 'Crash courses' are great if you already know something.

    Problem is you only become a better driver after TIME. You'll find at the end of a week, you might be able to pass your test but you cant 'Drive'

    Exactly what I was going to say. I paid ended up only paying 400 pounds for my lessons. I didn't do a crash course and managed to pass in 20 hours including the test and did that over about 2 months (after having 2 months being taught by Dad and gaining the much needed road experience. however my friend paid 400 pounds for an intensive course and passed after about 2 weeks. I am so much of a better driver than him, just purely because I have had "road experience" which is vital to being a safe driver.

    So beau, the intensive course is definately faster but at the same time definately not better for your driving. I am not trying to pursuade you against the intensive course because it is brilliant for people who want to pass very quickly, but my friend who did one, did spin out badly on a roundabout the other day :P

  5. Would you spend £5.00 on a biketrials DVD?

    Yes

    What is our favourite trials style, Street(normal riding around town), natural, Urban(e.g Matt Berridge, John Shrewsbury)?

    Street

    Who are your favourite UK riders?

    Unsure on that one, will have a think and edit it in later.

    How old are you?

    17

    Do you prefer your favourite songs on a biketrials video or a simple well made track which fits with the video?

    Something of my taste that fits well to the video it is alongside.

    Do you want the video to have different sections from different rides/events.

    Yes

    Do you like seeing different riders and new places/section, or the same old big gaps as you can appreciate how big they are( eg St.Pauls gap in london and most big riding spots)

    A bit of both old and new.

    Do you prefer a video which sets the scene and has some nice shots and some experimental parts rather than just all riding?

    Yes a video that sets the scene well always appeals to me more.

    Anything else which you think makes a trials video stand out?:

    Some silly antics :P

    Thanks a lot.

    It's for my Final Major Project at college, you should be seeing it soon! Myspace page also coming soon.

  6. Hi,

    I have now been trying for half an hour to take the monty cranks off my snapped T-pro frame, with no luck. They are square taper, therefore I have been using a crank extractor but however hard I try I cannot get the cranks to budge. Does anyone have any fantastic ideas how I can take these bliddy things off, my next move?

    Thanks
