  1. Yes, thats what I mean. So does it have any effect? Or is it negligable? Alun
  2. Ok, I'll explain this best I can, apologies if it's hard to make out: Anyway, the larger the diameter of your wheel, the more leverage available from the rim. True? So effectively, there are greater forces landing on ledges etc with a larger wheel. True? With a rim brake, this is compensated for, as the brake also has more leverage. True? Therefore in theory, as diskbrakes work on rotors of a certain diameter, would they perform better on a smaller rim? I think it would because there is the exact same amount of power available from a disk brake, on whatever wheel its on, but a larger wheel would have more leverage to work against the brake. Am I making sense? Anyone with opinions or greater knowledge please could you learn me! Thanks beforehand, Alun
  3. Personally, If the brake you're thinking of using will be strong enough, go for it. Surely there's an equal chance of hitting a front disk? Alun
  4. Haha, pissed on your chips! Alun
  5. 14 pallets, which I'm chuffed about. Had to think for a while, but then just went for it, landed quite smoothly aswell, which surprised me! Alun p.s anyone know how high that is in feet? thanks
  6. What?! Don't you know anything? Einsteins 23rd formula, unwritten, states brake squeak volume directly proportional to performance So there ! Alun
  7. You mentioned the cost, but compared to other types of bikes aren't ours quite cheap? I mean, rigid forks cost what? £100ish avarage, whereas for some decent sus forks you'd be spending at least £400 if you rode DH. And DH frames, you can easily spend £2000 on a DH frame! In my opinion trials is fairly cheap in comparison Alun
  8. ^^^^ bit harsh perhaps?! Fair enough, capslock off n all, but hey, he is a noob after all Welcome good sir, unfortunately cant help you with your questions mate, but try typing a little more formally and you should get validated quicker. Also makes readind posts a whole load easier Alun
  9. Has anyone used these pads? And if so what are your thoughts on them? I found them on trialsshop at only £8 a pair, but mind postage is £2.50 (?), still cheap though. Anyway, any good? Alun
  10. No claims is specific to a single person and their policy, so your dads no claims discount is for him alone, you cant scav it! But if you're insured on your dads policy, watch out, if you have a smash, he'll lose his no claims! It's a bummer I know, they're greedy beggars... Alun
  11. Haha, sounds like a robot from LIDL! Think 'mid' is good, a few others taking to this aswell I see Alun
  12. Really nice, If only I could... Chains a wee bit slack though wudn't you say?! Alun
  13. Good topic, I usually hate riding with anything on my back or in my pockets, as it distracts me, so I normally dont take anything, only cash if needs be, Im bad for the munchies. Alun
  14. So, 20" is known as 'mod', 26" known as 'stock' So what should we call 24"?? Alun
  15. Any chance of a link if it's online please? Alun
  16. Borrow some cranks, stick them on, if the problem seems to be solved, it's your cranks, if not, its your BB. Also could it possibly be the pedals? Alun
  17. Ooh those dusty memories! Can renember most on the list. Smart topic Alun
  18. Haha, nice one! And by the way, its 'Sam Tân' in Welsh Alun
  19. Personally, Ive got nothing against your typing, but keep it a little more formal for now, you'll get validated much quicker Alun
  20. Just noticed, 3rd pic, driveside pedal, looks like some of the pedal cage is missing....?! Alun
  21. :$ Sorry! The deed is done...
