  1. Ah sounds like a hoot. where, when ect. also how long is it, and how expencive??
  2. Anyone actuall interested in answering the question?
  3. Id be carefull about what you say about someone elses Mrs. If someone were to call my Girl "a bloke in a wig" they would be shitting teeth for a week. Back on topic, my mre keeps asking me to build her a trials bike, im 90% there, just need a cheap mod rear wheel.
  4. Someone please tell me what Koxx days actually is?? Ive heard people saying how good it is ect, but I cant, dont want to read french. Could I have the Kore information on this event. Dates times, what you do ect. Will it be enjoyable for a street urchin like myself, or is it some wet muddy serrious no messing about country trials section?
  5. I gather its a mod Then. Is the wheel in straight? Try moving it over to see if the chain moves.
  6. What the hell were you searching for with the words: Skinny Pink Fresh
  7. You mean your chain line isnt straight? Have you changed anything else? Is the wheel in the frame correctly? Might need to tweak your rear cog spacing(if you can) or adjust your BB length (worst case)

  9. Ive been there. Not fun. Something that helps alot, get a very good friend, goto a quiet pub, or house, sit drink and talk. About all and nothing, get things off your chest ect. Must be a real good friend who youd trust with your most intimate thoughts. I found the more I spoke about things to friends, the better I could veiw them and they could help me.
  10. Are the KHE Collapse Chains good? Ive been running a Sram PC48 for the last 6 years, finaly time ot upgrade. I dont want to have to bed the chain in, or make it stretch to fit (like the KCM Kool) and ill be using normal MTB Front sproket and a Gusset/Surley rear. Basicly want fit ride forget. Edit: If theres also a recamended way of running a 20-17 gear ratio so I can use alternative strong chains. Other wise its a Middleburn chainring and surley cog
  11. Move your rear veiw mirros so you have to physicly moe your head to use them. Then the examiner knows when your using them. I had mine set so I could simply flick my eyes up (like I do now) and the examiner said I hardly ever used them. Just make a big deal out of all the things you need to look at and check for safety. Might even be worth actually saying things as you see them so they know youve noticed.
  12. Vote 3 for Park Tools. Theres no Better. Had Mine for about 8 years. The only thing to go wrong with it, the white lettering rubbed off, so now its just plain black. Serriuosly how can you break a spoke key? Theres not even a wrong way to use them.
  13. If it was a gatso it has to be facing the direction you are traveling. If they are facing you they will go off but wont get a picture of your car or the driver, but if the other side of the road.
  14. what frame? What rear brake? What Rim?
  15. DDDAAAAMMMMMNNNNN i remeber the 1st trials forum, and the trials kings forum, and the section 7 forum. they were the 3 places to find all that was, then MBUK came along, and was good for a small while. Seemed to be alot more riding and alot less forum activity back then. Lord Knows how long ive been on Trials forum, I remember some really old skity boards and loads of people who have vanished off the face of the planet
  16. Easy start, your f**king brave. If I was you I would bin it straight away, especiaily on a new car, they have special strategies and methods in them to prevent the need for all that. Easy start is excessivly bad, it washes all oil out the bores, so all the time your using it, you a running your engine with no oil for the pistons. It runins any in line sensors it comes accross, it causes pinking and detonation in the engine, which not only causes it to run very hot, very bad when your coolant is stone cold and not flowing, it also leaves loads of carbon deposits on your valves, if these get big enough the valves wont close, thus no compression and no running. Ive seen a well working engine destroyed because of the use of easy start. The only way to keep your car working these days is to leave them well alone, just service and thats it,
  17. DONT DO IT Bongo your thinkning of the Wrong type of Diesel injection System. Modern Systemsmust never be alowed to run dry. They use the diesel fuel to lubricae the pump, and the tollerences in the pumps are soo tight (0.000001mm ish) that any lack of lunbrication causes them to literely fall to peices, and when that happens you have to replace every single component on the fuel system exept the tank, which needs extencive flushing, which costs thousands. (looking at about £2000 for the pupm and £1k for each injector) Your car will have a saftey strategy instaled in the PCM to prevent run dry, this will start with the fuel light, then the car will intentionaly start missfiring, to simulate running out of fuel, then it will cut out, and wont start. Some systems will let you restart on refueling, some require a trip to the main dealer with expencive computer restting treatments. And its not as simple as calling out the RAC or even bleeding the systme yourself. Old DI systems could be bleed by cracking the injectors off yes. But its really not adviseable, as the pressures behingd them are high, but on common rail injection you will have apporx 350 bar of pressure behind each injector, and if that gets out it has the power to literealy cut through the bonnet, your hand, anything it can get near. Bleeding TDCi is a process that need special equipment to do correctly, and is usually don through the leak off part of the fueling. In short its not worth it. by fuel
  18. Its great news. Diamond Back have been trying so hard to get back into trials over the last few years, and if anyone can do it Martyn can. When I used to work for Raleigh I tried to get hold of one of the Black and white DBR frames, the day before I rang them up, 1 guy bought the last 8 frames made. That was harsh. Its going to be really interesting to see what happens when a dedicatd trials rider meets the largest Bike manufacturer in the World. Hopefully they wont try and tame the bike to much for general Market use. Best idea would be a series of bikes, so you can have start out bike right up to full hardcore trials machine.
  19. I love Kayaking, Used to go every week, havent been in a while though. Keep meaning to re-join the club, but new job comitments mean I cant do it so easy.
  20. thats pretty much all you can do Not going to be easy to re-thread a stem. Wouldnt advise riding with a damaged stem at all really
  21. why a T-shirt? Every man and his dog, and even the bloke that cleans his dog, has a t-shirt for something. Wheres the orignialty? Why not release something that stands out? Something no one else has done. Theres no real gains to be made in stealing other people ideas, or in this case fonts and pictures....
  22. or go tp your local sign writters and ask them. Im sure most places will do good deals on bulk amounts
  23. Might be the Official Record But didnt Ot Pi or cesar canas Drop off a Double decker bus Years ago?
