  1. WAAAAAH that is Old Skool like happy shopper. Ive still got a '97 20" GT tempest. The guy who rode it gave the frame to me. It was his first trials bike he was a riding legend back in 1997
  2. Mr Tartridge is the Pro in the King Dept. Its just the allen key on the non drive side of the hub,undo and tighten the silver cover clockwise (the allen key provides nice leverage). Then retighten the bolt. I belive its an imperial allen key because Christopher King is American. This happens on new kings because the bearings are not pressed in all the way to start with because they are new. After a few rides the wobble comes. Tighten once and it should go if not do it again Trev
  3. TRAINS AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRFGGGEGFGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
  4. XC is an olympic sport. Europeans allways winn on uber light specialized s-works's
  5. Ive ridden a couple briefly when we had them in at work. They seem real nice for the money. When we had them in they came with the wider tire on the front and thinner on the back. Watch out for that and swap the round if you need to. A little weighty for a twenty inch but at 250 whos complaining Trev
  6. I run egg beaters (not for trials), they do have a large amount of "float" in them. This is the amount of left and right movement on the pedal before you release from the pedal. Despite the four entry points they are much harder to clip into then my old two sided shimano efforts. I really like they way the clip out though and they fell amazing when riding. Float is really useful in technical XC to manipulate the direction of the bike as opposed to a road cleat which will have next to none. Also with there design you get zero mud clog in the winter. Thumbs up all round, Trev p.s. check out the "triple ti" model at £280, uber light
  7. Trev Allen Matt Staples + Iaesha We will be getting in around 11:00.
  8. I do not feel that there most people distinguish between street and natural. Yes the obvious physical differences but real street riding does not require 365mm chainstays and 14foot whell bases. There are many people who ride, UCI style riding on a man made envioronment which is not street it is not natural in its true sense either. Riding today has taken a swing from street style a few years ago do a hybrid of the two. I still ride a Brisa well my new Woodstock came today but to many of you both are unridable due to the geometry. Real street is dead and is only keep gasping for air on its death bed by the few people who ride 24" or oldschool geometry frames. UCI street is more common, which involves uber powerful brakes and uber long bikes you cant manual. I bet i could out manual a BT Ninja or a Python on my dads 19" framed giant. I want a street revival. God bless Eddie Tongue and Chriss Akgrig. A dying breed kept alive by argueably the best looking riders in England. Trev
  9. Tickets booked. Will be getting there round 11 ish. See 'yall white boys there <T>
  10. I run it because of the geometry works and has improved the ride over the maasive, retro brisa stem i was running Trev
  11. Trying to book tickets and it list 4 possibilities for tickets do you just book general admission and do it that way im confused and dont want to be sectioned off from the forum lot by some tw!t in a reflective coat. What do i b0ok does it matter etc Trev
  12. Upside down is no worries. most 3TTT stems even come with interchangable graphics too so it doesnt look upside down. I run and upside down/ right way round roady stem and it be pimp. Like it loads Trev
  13. well i would like to impress on them my point of veiw. Remember a fool is someone who copys the fool, and to hear people talking about Pinches from doing manuals is just plain dumb. Im not trying to imply that a bad brake is everyones cup of tea. I dont ride with it all the time especially on bigger moves. I was by no means trying to make young impressionable riders crash, although if they do there is a "sites vid and pics" section where one might post such a thing. Joking aside, ill ride my way and donate my two pence to this forum and i believe there is too much fuss over brake pads, mine are two yeards old and suit me down to the ground. Trev (young impressionable riders beware)
  14. What is happenning about the tent arrangements are thier different sections which you have to prebook into. I pressume we want a massive trials section away from smelly BMXers who dont wash?!!?!?!
