  1. Cheers - the problem is as I thought, one set of spokes is offset the wrong way in relation to the other. If you look down the centre of the axle, the head of the 'blue' spoke is one hole to the right of the head of the 'red' spoke, but they enter the rim in the opposite formation (blue spoke to the LEFT of the red spoke). This means the blue spoke has to reach further than it should (so appears to be too short) and the red spoke isn't stretching far enough (so appears too long). Basically you need to move all of the spokes on one side of the wheel round two spoke holes (in this case, blue spoke needs to go from position 1 to position 2... then the spoke that was in 2 needs to go to 3, etc).

  2. It's not laced quite right, what you have done is laced one side of the spokes offset one hole from the other. If you can get a decent photo I can show you what needs to go where
  3. Internals look reasonable, although depends how many of those pawls engage at once and how deep/wide that ratchet is I guess: http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/photos/tech/...ib06ind9hub.jpg
  4. 1) No, old stock we had. 2) What problem?
  5. It would be classed as around 2.5" I guess, but the way bars are normally measured is stupid - from the centre of the stem clamp to the first bend (doesn't take into account any rise/sweep AFTER the first bend!). So, we've been through all the bars on our site and added the *actual* rise. For example, the Inspired bars have 88mm rise and the Trialtech High Rise bars are 103mm: http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/images/handleb...rge_barrise.jpg. For comparison, the Echo Low Rise bars are only 56mm.
  6. Yeah it's a cool little place. It's in Stockport, also called 'UK Skate'
  7. Went to Bones skatepark for a lockin on Friday night, here are some bad pics: Ali out of the big bowl into the small bowl Whip Ali over the big jump box And Gav with the same Stan airing the quarter Dan air to wallride Joe with the same Rob with the same Ali huge air to wallride over the gap Dan stall and back into the slope Ali sweet tabletop Stan carving the big bowl Same again, different view Ali backflip (made it 8 times in a row) Gurn 1 Gurn 2 Cheers Adam
  8. Too busy... Here are some of a similar tensioner: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2316/dscf0105w.jpg, http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2669/dscf0106x.jpg, http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1381/dscf0108h.jpg
  9. I've had a Fiesta and a new shape Corsa, can get one mod in the back without the front wheel off no problem, 2 mods in with front wheel off easy peasy. Want me to measure boot dimensions on my Corsa for you dude?
  10. Sweet! Should be getting some of his DVDs in very soon...

    It came out in late 2008, so was an '09 model frame, and then wasn't made any more, so is therefore discontinued...
  12. 5 mins in a car, 4 on a bike (bloody traffic lights).

    And it's now 2010 and the frame is discontinued..? Sorry, I don't follow.
  14. Should be about the same as the Manus
  15. Not really, you could sit Joe Bloggs in front of a year's worth of Gilles videos and he would still be no better at trials than beforehand, however the combination of watching and practicing surely must be faster for learning than just practicing. As said above though, I think seeing people ride in the flesh is most helpful.
  16. For sure, especially given the tiny trials market...
  17. Yeah, it's a bit different on a huge 19" tyre though at ~15 psi.
  18. Something like the new Try-All one should fill that pretty well (although will be steel bead). Cost and fold-off-the-rim-ability.

    .,

    Yep... Python discontinued.
  20. Nah, they are opposite threads... Check about 3:15mins onwards: http://tartybikes.co.uk/media.php?group=guides&id=4
  21. First budget build Inspired in Green that we've taken photos of... Looks pretty sweet with both a full seat and a mini seat I reckon! Cheers Adam
