I wish i hadnt... .......followed through after the curry

There was loads of these silly equations floating around a while back. All crap and quite tragic that someone has sat there and bothered to type that into an email

In the back of my works van!!!! Van like mine is below

Ive bought a 661 dirt 05 recently. Dont see the point in spending lots of money on summat i have to chuck away if i smack it.

Yea its your balance basically. Once you start to get used to popping the front up, you will learn to move your body in the right direction

I have done before and always carry a spoke key with me. I just take my time and work round the wheel doing each spoke in turn and doing the same number of turns on each

Try to befriend the locals and have a go on their bikes before you make a decision. Where abouts are you from too?

Where abouts is portland?

Theres alot of spelling mistakes

Well welcome and enjoy! Your right, its a very civilised forum here.

Any sign writers should be able to do it if they work with vinyl. Yellow pages chap

Ive recently got tapping sorted. Ive found i really have to plough my front into the wall on lower stuff. Going up higher is more of a glancing hit as i take off. Take off needs to be quite vertical. My only issue is getting the rear wheel up without hitting the wall on the way up

Ouch Guess thats an occupational hazard

Got gloves, still hurts lol. Ive just got soft as shite hands

Zoo pitbull 05 22:18 ratio Rear psi: 20ish. Front psi: Probs around 15psi I ride almost 100% street

I always suffer from sore hands. Ive not found a solution, just grin n bear it. My rear brake finger hurt so much last week i could hold the brake on

I get you so you have a random old hanger in the dropout as a bodge! Still dont think either is great but..... it did mean you could still ride

Im not sure either is better!! Werent you able to remove the old mech hanger?

I ride for the fun and exercise! I spend all day sat in a van so getting out on the bike in the evening is a relief. Also, i tend to use my weekends learning new things on my pallets before taking them out on the streets!

Im learning gaps to front etc at the mo. Tried a step up gap and didnt get the front high enough, ploughed into the otherside and went arse over tit Im struggling to get enough brake power on my maggies at the front to get the rear end up, whilst maintaining some modulation and control. Am upgrading to a disk after xmas

I found on a higher BB that you have to kick the rear wheel out more as you go up, as your higher on the bike and you need to be further from the wall. Did that make sense?

Ive got no leccy tape on my bike but it is holding my gloves together. Ive used gaffer tape to hold my car together before
