12ish @ Sloped walls - see you there!

Had a good lil' ride last night here in the big city, and we're off out shortly. Looking forward to seeing everyone today and tomorrow.

Hey Ben, Yeah website is on it's way. Had a few holdups, but it's getting there slowly. And yeah, the pads are a standard fit. Lots of people have been asking me, so I'll post up here - I will be bringing plenty with me to sell on the London ride. Try and let me know in advance if you do want some, but just give me a shout on the ride if you want some!

Yeah, I think the seat tube should follow closer to the tyre aesthetically... but hey it's part of a £300 bike, can't complain too much! Bike's looking sweet Rich, I prefer the blue too - shame you get shafted when it comes to parts. :wink2: Mega frames though, had mine nearly 6 months and it's still alive!

Hey guys, Me, Matt Burrows, Tim Stedman, Danny Brady, plus a whole host of others I'm sure will be out in bristol tomorrow. Weather should be nice - http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/tomorr...zipcode=bristol Lets do it.

Remember just because something has a design intent, it doesn't make it fit for that purpose!

Ahaha, fantastic! Could you imagine the bmx community organising something similar at the same time? It would/will be absolutely incredible! I'd be inclined to disagree with that one - with there being so many of us, it'll be almost impossible to get away. I do think our best bet will be to try and chat to and respect any potential officers, rather than simply running in fear. Which option would make us look like a better, more considerate bunch of people? Really can't wait.

We have ourselves one dead, dead camel.

Just got back - was an awesome ride. Nice weather, an awesome turnout and some top riding by everybody. Good stuff

Me & Mr Burrows on our way.

Good stuff guys, I'm gonna have to get myself and the l'boro crew up there at some point! Be good to catch up with you all again next time you're around.

Or I could drive and we'll save ourselves £20 each?

Hey hey i'm up for this one!

Hey guys, Had a big sort out on my harddrive the other day, and as well as deleting over 20gb of unwanted riding pics, I've also sorted out the creme de la creme, and chucked them all on facebook. All my albums can be seen here; http://www.facebook.com/photos.php?id=721476198 I think you need to be registered on facebook to see them, so sorry if you've not. Don't think you need to be a friend of mine to see them, but feel free to Add if you do! Hope you all enjoy the memories as much as I have! Mike.

Hey Ashley, Though I've not used them myself on smooth rims, a number of riders have, and reported great feedback. A nice squeek with decent hold. I still recommend a nice, harsh grind for maximum performance though. Glad yours are working much better now Muel, after seeing your grind on Saturday I'm not surprised they've been taking a while to bed in!

I know pronunciation is one thing, but "Whis". Classic Good riding.

I like chinese girls. International night at uni is fun.

I'd go with; "having or showing feelings of unwarranted importance out of overbearing pride" But maybe that's just me. But in all seriousness, there are clearly some issues that need addressing, which are just being sidestepped here! Needless to say I wish you the best of success on the relaunch of the pads.

Dictionary definition of arrogant: Ahem. Tim, you're not really doing yourself any favours by seemingly trying so hard to alienate yourself directly from your target market. In such a small community, positive attitudes and strong rider-firm relationships are key! As are excellent products.. Whilst I can't comment on any possible differences between any of your pads, is it so hard to rule out that they do exist? Especially given the overwhelming number of people who seem to agree. Mike.

Yes, I did spend Monday night sleeping in it. Win.

Sounds like a good shout. Do let me know how you get on though. More news, turns out Kenny Belaey wants to use Phatpads now, so we will have both the Belaey Brothers using the pads for 2009.
