  1. Secrets made me horny, but your front brake took it away, naughty Craig! Good to see you out on the bike dude
  2. It's a £39 freewheel, not a £300 hub, which is why it doesn't feel quite as sweet. Freewheels are all pretty primitive really, there's not much else you can do with them! We do have a tool, Park make a pin spanner that fits perfectly (the red one).
  3. So where were you then Joe?
  4. Black and White ones? Due in approx 3-4 weeks I think.
  5. True that Will, which wheel size are you on at the moment?
  6. Sounds like your internet connection, glad it's sorted though
  7. Has the same happened before? Which exact browser are you using? Do you have javascript and ajax enabled?
  8. Ditto... but try this: http://tartybikes.co.uk/faq.html
  9. Kinda... There's some more info here: http://tartybikes.co.uk/media.php?group=guides&id=8 Adam

  11. And: Benefits of 2XU Compression Clothing - Improved circulation: Graduated compression of the limbs actively encourages and increases blood return to the heart and lymph cells to the lymph nodes. This decreases your warm-up time and keeps blood flowing even when you stop (such as waiting at a competition), regulating body temperature to ensure optimal comfort in both hot and cold conditions. - Improved recovery: Therapeutic rated fabric provides greater pressure and recovery benefit by helping the pumping action of the whole cardiovascular system; also removing lactic acid from the muscles leading to faster muscle repair after exercise. This means you are able to ride/train more frequently. - Reduced fatigue: During exercise, your muscles are subjected to forces which make them vibrate (such as jumping off the bike during a failed move); this is called muscle oscillation and is a major cause of fatigue. Muscle oscillation can be reduced by compression clothing as it holds the muscles in place, leading to increased endurance, strength and power. Keep riding harder for longer! - Heightened agility: Proprioception is the body's sense of relative position with other parts of the body, and is extremely important to accuracy, stability and agility. Proprioception can also help with improving technique as you are made more aware of your body's positioning, improving your balance and co-ordination. - Reduced damage: The muscle containment properties provided by 2XU Compression Clothing help to reduce muscle damage during exercise and therefore swelling and soreness post-exercise. DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, where you are sore a day or two after hard exercise) can also be significantly reduced in both severity and duration by this clothing, allowing you to ride/train more frequently.
  12. Hello all, Went out for a bit of ride this afternoon with Stan, went to somewhere we've not been for a while and had a good ride! May go back this week for some more photo action...

  13. You never know.... http://observedtrials.net/vb/showthread.php?t=46176
  14. Haha, maybe I should have said 'in the current decade' or something
  15. Ditto. Although I guess you don't want to give too much away at this early stage!
  16. Voted. People expecting a reliable, sub 300g, 144 engagement point hub for under £300 should go and live on Mars
  17. Yep, exactly It's personal preference though - I (and everyone else I know) find it very hard to ride 'trials' on an Inspired with a 70mm stem, so a new rider choosing a bike with this setup would be put off instantly. The most fundamental move that they want to learn first is the backhop, and such a short stem makes it really hard. I know the bike is pretty expensive as a complete but we do find that it's mainly beginners who buy them. I do agree that there should be another spec though, a streetier one (semi slicks, short stem, 22T chainring, etc), just a matter of getting time to build one.........................
  18. Haha,I know... struggling to make anything that looks half decent that small
  19. Few bits of info here http://tartybikes.co.uk/media.php?group=guides&id=8
