  1. oooooh , you've got sparkly stars. Please get tassles for the ends of the grips. you need them.
  2. make it look exactly like an original blue&yellow raleigh burner but with no seat those things were great.
  3. harder! harder! hit it harder!
  4. you'd be surprised how much fun it can be, every wiggle of your hips brings with it a little smile ... i'd recommend a plug rather than a dildo because the tapered end stops it getting sucked inside. This "it's public property so i can do what i want to it" is bollocks. Some bugger has to pay for the damage and I can be pretty certain it isn't the more militant amongst you who fork out a thousand quid a year in council tax (I'm still bitter from this quarters bill). I'll grant, this doesn't give the pensioners a right to complain cos they're mostly exempt from paying council tax but you can see why the 30-50 age bracket don't always take too kindly to people chipping big chunks out of walls. Basically, what I'm saying is don't have a go at them because you're not in the right. If they want you to bugger off then just go down the road and ride up something else for a while - it saves everyone a lot of hassle in the long run&if you do what they say they'll probably stop complaining . It all stops when you get older anyway - by the time you're in your mid 20's the 30-50 bracket have decided you're too big to shout at without risking a kicking (which is one thing we have the chavs to thank for) and they just ask you nicely to move on.
  5. is that fat poking out ? fat poking is the grimmest thing in the world - except possible fat + shinbone. unfortunately all my good, down to the bone ones are just scars now cos Im too gay to do anything dangerous these days
  6. my theory is that long cranks give you more leverage so they're better for longer bikes. I'm finding 160s a bit short on my t-poo, If you've got the long xtp you'll probably want the longer cranks - if you've got the stumpy one then 160s will probably be fine. I'd just run whatever you've got at the moment and decide based on what they feel like - no point spending money till you need to is there..
  7. hell yeah, I'm in TFCAMRA we'll be able to play the who can do the biggest & stinkiest ale poo game on rides. - ooh - and on the cocktails with vermouth thing long island ice tea

    New Tattoos

    that would really f**king hurt and i don't even want to think about the amount of blood that'd piss out. the inside of my bicep bled like stuck pig and the skin's a lot thicker there. I dont reckon you'd get it done over here - they won't usually do soles of feet, palms of hands or faces in this country.

    Bike Locks

    I've had a much better idea than a bike alarm. Make a thing that goes BONG! like a dirty great bell when you land on your bash - that'd be sweet. I'd definitely buy one
  11. unlikely. I'm still doing it, and if you're quiet you can occasionally catch my dad doing it
  12. He was after something short though i think - a zip is 1045 - short XTPs and montys are around the 1000 mark.
  13. they're basically the same frame - geo and stuff match, i think i'm right in saying there's no short ones for 06 so unless you want a long one its the 05 or earlier.
  14. I'd go for the echo team short if it were me - if only cos the frame costs half as much as either the monty or the koxx which gives you another £250odd to spend on the wheels.
  15. If its only rubbing a teeny bit just let some air out of the tyre - if i run more than 20lbs mine rubs on my booster - thats a t-poo with a hog rim (47mm) & echo 4 bolt booster. moving the wheel back ought to sort it proper though - i've seen people run echo rims and creepy crawlers on gu mods so it must be doable
  16. a double = a pint however, vodka & coke is a girls drink. vodka&orange (a screwdriver if you wear frilly shirts) is a drink that won't compromise your masculinity too much. white russians are good if you like sugar but when real men drink girls drinks they drink long island ice tea.
  17. With security in the browser app itself you have a very good point but running firefox doesn't make windows any safer because IE is still running underneath - there's nothing you can do about that without buying a mac or dealing with linux so if you discount popups and other such half arsed security risks (most of which you can dodge by exercising proper precautions) you're not helping yourself. The css2 and 3 support is another valid point but then again how many websites actually use standards compliant code anyway? - IE is more likely to correctly display or recover from shite code than any other browser. It does support .png you just have to run it through the activeX drawing code (embrace and extend) to get the 8bit transparency. I'm half joking on all of this - browser wars have always made me laugh - but till the bitter end (Vista) I'll be an IE boy (it all stems from writing for netscape 4 - if you were there you'll understand). IE can't be that bad or I'd have a million virii and trojans and shite wreaking havok with my system - which I don't.
  18. Thats probably one of the the biggest obstacles to the popularity of the sport - not many people are willing to justify £500 plus on a bike they can only use for one thing - a bmx is a much more practical option than a dedicated trials bike because you can actually ride a distance on it. It's pretty clear to me that the whole street riding thing is what will bring trials into the mainstream. Street riding is what brought skating and BMX to the masses. Not everyone lives near a skatepark or a big pile of rocks but nearly everybody lives near a street. If you ride where people are, people can see you ride. Think about how many times you've seen families stopping in the street while they're out shopping so their little kids can watch the funny men on the silly bouncy bikes climb over stuff? Every time that happens or every time some little snotbag comes up and says 'oo, how do you do that?' you've introduced somebody new to the sport - whether they pick it up later on, confuse it with bmxing or go home and forget about it is up to them. New people make the sport progress - getting snobby about the way people ride, where they ride and what bikes are made of only harms the sport. I figure we all a have responsibility to promote trials in our own little way. I don't mean running around in a tartybikes t-shirt telling everybody about the zen of riding but I mean talking to the little snotbags when they ask about your bike and how you bounce so high.

    Chain Tugs

    you never fail to make me giggle with shit like that. The whole kitten smacking thing still brings a tear to my eyes. Anyway - because I'm still a wee bit innacurate on the whole sidehop thing - hence the bent tensioners. I decided to give the snailcams a go - nothing ventured n all that. If I dont like em I've got an attractive pair of earrings to gift the missus with
  20. nail , head - ask a formula one driver not sure what anyone else thinks but I reckon creepy crawlers wear out silly fast anyway. Ive had mine about 6 months riding on average about 6-8 hours a week on the streets and they're 3/4 bald already. Im not overly bothered on account of me being rich and them not being too pricey.
  21. I had a feeling that was going to be a contentious point -- edit-- i deleted this cos i was being a cock cos i'm giving u smoking ---- reasons to use IE 1. you're already running it on windows - whether you have it open or not so you aren't wasting valuable resources like memory. 2. its not Mozilla
  22. Do you really need to burn it ? I just wiped my rotor down with white spirit on a clean rag after a fat person touched it with their greasy burger covered fingers & it got all rubbish. It made excellent honk noises for about 5 minutes and returned to its normal state of working ok but sounding a bit like a rake dragging across a concrete path.
  23. yep - do that but if you want to keep using a proper browser rather then dirty netscape (sorry firefox) get yourself the google toolbar to block popups, zonealarm to stop evil things interfering with your machine and some sensible virus protection (ie macafee - not norton) i have all that stuff installed and when i download porn and steal software i dont get adware or virii .

    Chain Tugs

    i didnt think they'd work on a t-pro. They're still dodgy anyway if you ask me - you don't get smooth adjustment and they can slip. edit :: wah - I stand corrected, just checked and theres threaded holes for the bolts on my dropouts and you get smooth adjustment on the smooth ones - I was clearly talking bollocks. snailcams it is then

    Chain Tugs

    I'm going to need some replacement chain tugs for my t-poo next time i take my wheel off. I've buggered the original ones fairly comprehensively and I'm not sure what I ought to replace them with. I quite like the look of the KHE VA ones ( http://www.billys.co.uk/english/group.php?prod=chkh-adjust ) on account of them using an allen bolt - which would prevent the whole thread knackering problem i've had with the originals. Anybody used them and liked them / dicovered they're crap ? ta
