  1. Beauty! I'll second taking the stickers off though, would look better in my opinion, perhaps get your name or something as a vinyl? Alun
  2. I really, really, really like the look of the disk, it's beasty! Any close up pics of the disk mount and disk? Also if the frame spec is different to what you asked for, I wouldn't settle for that, it takes away the whole point of choosing them. Get them to sort it, or have your money back. ALun

    Turned back into usefull one Alun
  4. Haha, PWNED! Tut tut by the way, aint the way to get validated. Alun
  5. Well, this road did lead to porn Alun
  6. Try putting your pedals in the oven, then masturbate for a few days. If the ocean doesn't cover the trees, ask Edward for some blue shoes to do your homework. Seriously though, what the f**k is the point? Alun EDIT: bullshizzle reported
  7. You for real?! It's a hole in you're tube, usually caused by thorns / other sharp objects, or pinching the tube between the rim and any surface. Alun EDIT: Slowsome I know
  8. LMAO! Thirded! Slow puncture for sure, its the tube not the tyre though (assuming you don't run tubeless). Get a puncture repair kit, or a new inner tube. Renember to check for thorns etc. in the tyre first though, else it'll just happen again. Alun
  9. LMAO! Some quality ones here! Well, sticking with the harsh ones... And I do appologise if it does cause any offence, don't read it if you are easily offended... Why do shower heads have 11 holes? Because Jews only have 10 fingers. Alun

  12. Haha! Pretty steep! Also, whoever painted it did abit of a poo job, paint on the risers, forks and chain! Alun
  13. The munchies is when you feel hungry, even when you eat. I've seen people eat masses of food, and still be hungry, eating anything put infront of them. This was from smoking cannabis. Alun

    Ultimate mask; how freaky! (off Saw) Alun
  15. Lolipop, page1, safesearch on: Just scrolled down, same page: Alun
  16. Is it the Dirt Lid? I've got the 03 one, a tad uncomfy for trials I think, so I never really use it, though I know I should... Alun
  17. I deffinately agree with wearing helmets, though I don't wear one myself. I just can't get used to wearing one, never think to put it on before I go out. I'm sure I'll regret it one day. Different story for my motorbike, it's a habit now, as I'm sure it is for you and you'r bikes. Made me appreciate wearing one when I came off it a week or so ago. Summer's coming up too, and I'm getting dreadlocks, so I'll be even less likely to wear one. I'll probably learn the hard way, I know I'm a dumbass... Alun
  18. It says in the first post he didn't buy it new, sorry if it sounded like I was implying that. I meant if anyone else where to do this, some money would be wasted on the components that come with the bike. Let us know how you get along with it, and you'r opinion on the way it rides. Alun
  19. Magura hydraulic brakes do not need to be bled often at all if you're using their Royal Blood mineral oil, because it doesn't absorb water. Can't find it, but I'm sure it was around every 5 years that they recommend you bleed their brakes, unless they leak or anything. From the magura website: Mineral oil vs. DOT brake fluids When it comes to the a/m advantages of a hydraulic brake system you have to consider mainly what sort of transmission medium is used in your brake, mineral oil or DOT brake fluid. All MAGURA disc brakes have been a long time the only disc brakes which could be described as virtually maintenance free. The same information is of course also valid for the MAGURA rim brakes. With the exception of the regular pad wear check and a replacement in due time there is nothing to do for you as ALL our disc brake models feature since model year 2002 an automatic pad wear adjustment like the brake system of your car or your motorcycle. The real asset, offered over years by MAGURA alone (and in the meantime copied by a Japanese company), is that our stoppers use low viscosity MAGURA Royal Blood mineral oil as transmission medium which does not absorb water and actually lubricates the whole system. All other competitors' disc brakes use aggressive DOT brake fluid (used normally in car and motorcycle braking systems). DOT has to be changed regularly because it absorbs water, even the water vapor in the air inside your open system's brake reservoir. This has a negative effect on the brake's function. The bleeding of such brakes is then regularly necessary, but not funny at all. DOT is toxic, irritates your skin and strips the paint off your frame when you don't pay attention. Do you really want to be bothered with problems like that? Choose the tricky, troublefree and clean solution: Rely on MAGURAs, if you prefer riding to wrenching. and remember for the case of the cases that MAGURA Royal Blood is much more bike oriented and nicer stuff to deal with. MAGURA brake technology. Simple solutions for smart bikers. Save the planet!
  20. How does it ride though? Compared with a trials specific frame, the geometry will be different. Personally I don't see much point, as the frame can't be bought alone (correct me if I'm wrong), so you'll be wasting some money on all the components that come with it (though this won't be much on a cheap bike like this), and I doubt it will last very long on larger stuff, as It hasn't been designed for the type of stress trials has on a frame. Nice idea though, doesn't look too bad either. Alun
  21. Sweet video, you'r balance and confidence should be good for trials Alun
