  1. Coustpads are pretty damn good in all conditions, as were Koxx (TK) browns and reds. Gonna have to disagree with Danny about Phatpads though, most inconsistent pile of poop you could put in a HS33. But each to their own.
  2. This is a bump on an 8 year old topic, asking a question to someone that hasn't visited this forum in 5 years.... Might be a little hopeful.
  3. If it needs to be rim brake compatible I doubt there is anything stronger than a TR. A year isn't that bad really and they aren't overly expensive to replace. Probably not the answer you were looking for... sorry. That and ride smoother
  4. Apart from the mini Onza seat and not using a DX32 out back... it's awesome! Loved my Pashley, awesome bike!
  5. Yay for car bits. Guess that means I best strip my engine down and get rebuilding....
  6. Stranger Things was awesome. Really enjoyed preacher, really enjoying the dark humour in it.
  7. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mong
  8. It's a shame that comments aren't auto-disabled to all of you posts and topics (yes I see the irony in the fact i've responded to your thread). Just out of pure curiosity, what drives you to cut frames up and remove your videos an hour after you've posted them?
  9. Be Saturday mate, when most down here ride.
  10. If you're looking to ride over the weekend at all then put up a post on the South West Trials FB group or send me a PM! So much riding up on Dartmoor it's ridiculous.
  11. Yeah but you don't really get a lot with this forum, probably the language/humour barrier. Loved the vid, shame the Trials scene in the US seems to be dying Not sure if you were intentionally fulfilling the stereotype that most Americans know feck all about the world outside there own country with the Turje/turkey gaff or actually a genuine mistake...
  12. Get on! Good to meet you when you were down, shame we didn't get anything filmed in Plymouth. Big riding, questionable skinny cut off shorts...
  13. So a few additional steel pads welded in place is going to cost you £2k? Hardly internet scare mongering, it's the equivalent of getting buckets and harnesses and then mounting the harness on a random hole you've drilled and shoved a bolt through. You might have the gear there. but it's not properly installed and therefore won't do it's job properly. Just seems logical. And using the excuse that hundreds of other people are doing it, so it must be ok..... is bull! Do it once, do it right. Especially as the car is currently ripped apart.
  14. What's the point of putting it in if you aren't going to do it properly?!

    Holidays

    From what I've read unless you paid via Paypal or credit card you have very little chance of getting anything.
  16. Actually ridiculous. Cheating right? Must be.
  17. Pretty sure the only hubs that worked without having to be bodged were an old Onza or Viz! hub.
  18. So been wanting a new frame for a while, had my previous frame for 2 years now so when the opportunity to pick up one of the frames came along I couldn't say no.

  19. Ah you Cornish are always a little bit behind then times...
  20. I thought it might be Techniclutch from the advert that's why I asked. Have a quick Google about Techniclutch, that should be enough to put you off even considering purchasing from them.
  21. Thank God he's gone, I like Chris Evans on TFI Friday etc. But he was just awful on TG, onwards and upwards, for TG that is. I don't understand why Eddie is on the show, he just doesn't seem to bring anything positive to it. He's just that annoying old git that still hangs around thinking he's cool whilst smelling of piss and cabbage. Sabine is fantastic in the cars, not so much out of it and she does seem to struggle with the language and humour; comes across as obviously scripted. Matt grew on me as the show went on. Can't fault Chris Harris and Rory is pretty much there. They just need to make it new, not just regurgitate the same old stuff.
  22. Quite aware of the 26" issues and the subsequent recall. So you don't actually know if the 20" versions had any problems then?....
  23. Have there been many issues with the 20" version of this fork? Need a new set and it's either a set of these or some carbon forks, but if the Trialtechs are solid then I don't know if I can justify the additional money
