its great how a thread about a new(if not totally original) frame gets turned into a bit of bitch fest. got to love trials forum and love between all the members!!! christ people they're only points of view, lets not take them too far or too personally!! nice looking frame,cheap, complete rip off of a koxx, but hey thats not a bad thing.

i've always bought sony ex71 headphones, nice tonal range, good fit and only 20-30 quid, havent broken a pair yet, well apart from when i caught the cable downhilling and ripped it in 2! really nice headphones

the operating system it uses, other than the standard nokia one, pretty much all phones use versions of symbian.

ive had a 6280 since it came out, used the camera when i went snowboarding in the states wiht my ex, pretty good photos, print u to 6X4" at a pretty decent quality. features are excellent. symbian os took me a bit of getting used to, but then again if youve had phones other that nokias it will be pretty familiar. screen is awesome, mp3 is pretty damn good. overall excellent phone no grumbles about mine craig

mega upload is a bit rubbish, 30kbps, 20 mins to go will edit when finished!

that vid is pretty sick, looks like wheres he's so fat its kinda just split open when he's cut it. the fat inside the hole just looks weird!

i've been using nokian downhill tubes on my downhill and trials bike, usually running 20-25psi on the trials and 20-35psi on the downhill bike and i've never pinched a tube. and its definitely not because i'm a smooth rider! as said before a lot of it is down to the tyre you run, in my experience maxxis seem to be about the best, but then i run 26" so it may be a bit different for you. all the doubling up on tubes and running silly high pressure isn't necessary, unfortunately it may mean you might spend a little bit more to start with, but you'll soon save more when you stop replacing tubes allthe time!! craig

the raven is a nice lookin frame and pretty cheap at the moment. why is the ninja an exspensive pogo stick?

awesome vid, good riding good editing and finally a vid with some good music, foreign beggars rule, uk hip hop is the way forward. keep it going mate, talent is a word that comes to mind

yeah they were, open em in a minute with a biro!! to be honest its all good criticising the lad that he didnt have a good enough lock and he should have done 'this' and should of had 'that' but its happened and and hindsights all good! he just posting to make people aware in the area that its been nicked and if they see it to tell him, my mates dh bike got nicked he told all the riders he knew in the area and a month later one of em saw a scally riding to the shops on it and got it back. the poll is a bit pointless mind you, so i can see what he's saying bout that good luck in getting it back

well that was a bit special wasnt it!?!!! pretty f****** good!! can it be learnt or is it just a natural gift loving the style, hope theres more to come p.s. what bike and setup have you got? craig

im 20, but i only started riding trials about 6 months ago. guess im a late starter.

what are the coust pads like? how do you go about fitting the to some old magura backings? sounds like the best option, if there any good and the fittings to fiddly might get those from fatmike

so what just give him a ring or email, because the online shop is not there at the mo. cheers for you help

right they're not selling from their website at the moment, is there anywhere else i can get a set of heatsink blues or preferably reds? cheers for your help

love the bikes, clean and simple and t45 steel! so cheap for t45 its nice to see a rider owned and made company. the website great as it is really easy to navigate with all the right info you need. hope it all goes well for you mate, will start saving today

you could use rotational moulding, means that you get an even spread of the material and it makes hollowform shapes, dont know about strength though. could you not use a mixture of rotational and injection moulded sections for the head tube and bottom braket area and use drawn tubes for the main frame and just bond them together? plastics aren't that easy to recycle and they cause a lot more pollutants than other materials to produce. a glass bottle takes less energy to produce, can be more easily recycled, adn produces a lot les pollutants during manufacturing and recycling. so other materials may not be as flexibile in maufacturing terms but have a look at other alternative materials.

its supply and demand if there is enough people willing to pay that price then why shouldnt they charge it. if you think of it on a broader spectrum its not really a very good argument, as if you break down any thing into its parts, buy them seperately and build the complete product then it will pretty much always cost more. if you break one lever its gonna cost you only 30-40 quid. If you really want then you can spend the extra 60-50 quid to buy a complete set, but what are you gonna do with the extra bits, you might, you might not break them? so you really just got to suck it up and live with it!

dj shadow, dr octagon, taskforce, generally any good break beats or uk hip hop. or if im in a bad mood its got to be a bit of rise against, bouncing souls or lagwagon. dont know anyone to ride with where i live in fact who does ride in the bridgy/taunton area??

not the prettiest looking frames, but good warranties. strange how that tri frame looks like the geo's a bit out!

imo it does look a bit ugly, just looks like a cheap helmet, not of the same ilk as a xen or semi mx. nice to see they've upgraded the strapping system but i think i'll be holding onto my semi for a bit longer. (no pun intended!)

ouch

hitting the rail will be easier on a 26" because the smaller the circumference of the rim the greater the angle of the rim when it hits the rail and the greater chance of slippage. but surely staying on the rail has a lot to do with the depth/ volume of the tyre as it wraps around and grips to the rail on impact, a deeper wider tyre will have a greater wrap around and therefore more grip. makes sense in my head!

nice just up the road from me, have to book a day off work me thinks. hows a bouts a ride after? craig

ive got a 92 mini cooper s+ in british racing green, a proper mini. not a bmw in disguise.
