  1. As I mentioned last night - enjoyed that. Can't say I was giving it my full attention or even enough to give any useful feedback, but as background tunes it sounded decent
  2. Talking of which: Section 02 need to happen
  3. Trawl the FS section on here - it's not so busy as it used to be but there are still plenty of deals to be had. Follow it up with eBay, Gumtree, PB and the like and you'll soon get something sorted.
  4. From the people who brought you "Koxx", you can't really have expected great things...
  5. @Rago muffin representing the rubberface. Good call.
  6. Good luck. Any more and you're moving into the territory of needing either something that can contract around the top of the plug, or needing to adhere something to it.
  7. Good to see progress, but I still think you should keep the old plate in the recess for daily use but on removable mountings (quick links, velcro etc) to expose the holes for track use.
  8. May be something as simple as the rubber insert from a spark plug socket having been left on that plug and since melted. Doesn't help you to get it out, of course, but might explain the source of the melted rubber/similar. Is it the fact that that's on there that's the tricky part of removal at present (ie. you can't get the normal socket on at all)? Hopefully a bit of PlusGas should sort out any seizing of the threads if you can get past that.
  9. So long as you're not taking a pressure washer to it daily, you'll be fine. That said, most people won't spend nearly so much time doing so. I reckon I've properly washed trials bikes less than a dozen times in around 15 years or so, though a little bit here and there to clean off anything particularly nasty in amongst that lot too I suppose
  10. Eurgh. My Leon had lots of similar-style, badly wired in boxes throughout the car. Removing them helped every time so well worth getting rid if it's not supposed to be there
  11. Sorry dude, I'm up near Notts/Derby (briefly seeing @dann2707 while I'm at it) Soon for sure
  12. Due to a combination of a little complacency on my part and a lot of being a mong from someone else, I managed to get a drywall screw threaded about 3mm into my finger yesterday. Hit the bone, hurt a lot, now rather swollen and pussy. Went to pull the thing out and it wasn't going anywhere so had to unthread it - lulz.
  13. You appear to have accidentally merged your pros and cons list. MiniDisc changer ftmfw!
  14. That was painful, had to turn it off partway through.
  15. Yeah Dave. Get in your f**king time machine already. Get a f**king grip. Bike looks sweet as I said on FB dude. Look forward to some dry weather where we can fall off bikes together. ProTip: Dave's bed in tips of scrubbing brakes are even easier if you can sneak it into the Uni gym and whack it on a treadmill
  16. Cool. Going to stick something fun in it and hang onto this one?
  17. I'm just going to link Rowan's YT page to save us all some time. https://www.youtube.com/user/webtrialsgeek/videos That said, to avoid the boy's head getting too big, the only one I'll embed here is him getting it wrong.

    Good job you can buy paint then The rate at which fresh colourways are released (due to the popularity of the frame for actual important reasons) is pretty damn high, so you might be pleasantly surprised with one of the next batches. Who knows.
  19. Yeah, I'm pretty sure this isn't a thing.
  20. Congrats on the sex new bike.
  21. Bit of sheet steel/ally and a little time and thought, shouldn't cost that much really. Plus you're a hobbit, so bringing things a tad higher might help you reach the pedals and still be able to see over the dash, right babe? Edit; Adam's post didn't show as it's on a new page. My point still stands
