I wondered what the tf view is on the rising number of fat people is. And why is it almost a tabboo to adress the issue directly? I feel that the more fat adults there are. The more obesity will become a norm and being that large eill become acceptable this cant end well surely... currently a third of children leave primary school overweight. So something does seem to be going wrong... discussion goooo

helmets! a good quality chain tool! (paired with regular chain replacement) ask for a few opinions on set up from other riders, just cause your used to/adapted to it doesn't make it right or beneficial solid parts not weight weenie parts, especially if you can't afford stuff often. theres no point having a scandalously light bike if its so delicate you can't push yourself on it. Push yourself, often. don't talk yourself out of things you dislike (techniques and moves, not lines that will kill you) ride new places often, you'll wanna try things cause time isn't on your side like a home-ride. Convince other, better, riders to ride your local spots, you might be humbled, but it's worth it to know what you can try/whats possible/new lines etc. Learn to true wheels Stay on top of your bike maintenance Buy good tools. Learn to do all your maintenance; you'll save, and even make some, money. you'll be able to solve/anticipate problems. Carry enough spares; thats a tube, patches, and a chain, maybe even a set of brake pads. if your riding a new place with no locals, do your homework before you go, find out if there is a high quality bike shop so you can get any 'unique' parts so you can keep on riding. ride as many bikes as you can, get a feel for things that you like, avoid bikes that you can't afford or justify, you'll just be sad that you can't have them. savage brakes, high EP freewheels are a must; they're not to expensive and the confidence they grant is worth it. after that over size bars, aluminium forks and ISIS bottom bracket, then you know your bike is reliable...

They look great!

Practice both equally I am ok static but awful at rolling due to neglecting the skill and some savage crashes. ..

Been on a mission to get in shape for years. Think I'm really getting mu head around it this time; I ran a 10k on a treadmill in under 45 minutes tonight and I've never tried that distance before. I'm loosing weight and I'm proud of my physique. Ive somehow lost a kg of fat in 20 days. If I keep that rate up I'll be lean in a month!

http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/topic/144713-new-front-break/page-2 link for claim. that said i'm running a 180mm rotor on my mod and it's f**king awesome as balls.

the leverage, i'm pretty sure adam of the tarty posted it on here moons ago. i'll find some link sauce...

in theory 160mm is as good as 200mm in a stock.. but 180 will provide that bit more oomph...

really is worth it anyway bruh

Just nailed the birthday gift for the gf after sorting out our issues. Score. Fyi if any of you are after a good rucksack or messenger bag. Chrome have a day only sale right now. They're worth every penny at rrp.

Echo 108s undermine the need for a mod pro2. A matching set of hope hubs would be nice on a 20 but not a must have existing trials gear is better and cheaper than hope gear. Can this silly want for fictitious products please die?

fuuuck, this guy annihilates any excuses you've had. ever.

i wish it was dubbed as a worse product than it is so i'd have avoided it all together instead of wasting a grotesque amount of time and money on the stuff. it can be addictive and hard to break that cycle. although i know its not a bad thing on an occasion, it can easily become 'that thing you do' and then it really f**ks you.

dual wheel tensioner ***.. .superstar zinger tensioner is the best value out there...

Why does that make a difference

Why does that make a difference

Front disc rear rim brake ***... some modulation and all the power when you need it on the front and a bit of an economy on pads with discs... and nice light powerful rim brake on the rear with some confidence inspiring honk when you lock it up... For weight saving dual rim brake is the winner...

18 - 16 is a little soft. 18 15 is the norm for stocks...

I got a wizard by Ali c once. .. I may need tp request a doodle again. ..

I want to ride on sunday. I dont know where yet but im open to suggestions.... anywhere in reasonable range of Sheffield...

Sd levers are great value. Avoid avid calipers as they tend to fail on the pin that goes into the mount for spring tension. I ruined many sets... I'm actually using halfords/clarks calipers with no problems... vees are so simple brand isnt to important... decent pads, cable and set up are more important...

leading in what context? carbons lead in the sense of technology, but leading in the context of popularity/rigidity/strength?

Bull shit your keyboard is broken there are 12 Is in your first post. The spelling bee would have a fit.
