Yes, thats what I mean. So does it have any effect? Or is it negligable? Alun

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

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

Haha, pissed on your chips! Alun

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

What?! Don't you know anything? Einsteins 23rd formula, unwritten, states brake squeak volume directly proportional to performance So there ! Alun

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

^^^^ 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

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

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

Haha, sounds like a robot from LIDL! Think 'mid' is good, a few others taking to this aswell I see Alun

Really nice, If only I could... Chains a wee bit slack though wudn't you say?! Alun

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

So, 20" is known as 'mod', 26" known as 'stock' So what should we call 24"?? Alun

Any chance of a link if it's online please? Alun

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

Ooh those dusty memories! Can renember most on the list. Smart topic Alun

Haha, nice one! And by the way, its 'Sam Tân' in Welsh Alun

Personally, Ive got nothing against your typing, but keep it a little more formal for now, you'll get validated much quicker Alun

Just noticed, 3rd pic, driveside pedal, looks like some of the pedal cage is missing....?! Alun

Haha, if only...! Alun

:$ Sorry! The deed is done...

Hey y'all, recently randomly discovered this tune, the album was/is top 10 in America (I think) It's King Without a Crown by Matisyahu Tell me what you think of it, I cant get enough of it! Alun p.s. Sorry I forgot to link it before posting * sorted *

DO NOT RIDE IN THE POURING RAIN WITH THEM! YOU WILL DIE!
