  1. I've noticed it too. Not all the time, but some posts have definitely been edited and it hasn't had the tag at the bottom.
  2. A little late i know. Although technically i've already broken this resolution I"m gonna try and quit drinking or at least do it more responsibly. Also gonna try spend my money a little more wisely.
  3. Every hole's a goal... It's nice to see a company making a break from the norm. Which is why i like it.
  4. Ah, that was my previous frame and I loved it. I found it too flexy without a booster though, but it's personal preference really.
  5. I'll always have the advantage of it never getting any uglier though
  6. That is fugly but I want one soo bad. Depending on geo and price i may have to part with some (lots of) cash in the near future
  7. As said it'll stiffen up your brake mounts, but not all frames need them. My brake, for instance, is stupidly stiff yet i don't run a booster. What frame are you running?

    In all honesty. It's been one of the worst years of my life. The only good thing that has happened is getting a Job.
  9. It's the right way in that picture too.
  10. I did always used to think that it was just a generic word, that someone used a few times and it just stuck. r
  11. Maybe, but it's the sort of frame a yokel weight weenie would ride
  12. I'd take the SLS over most cars. I love AMG mercs, that brutal power and sound mostly.
  13. The trials-uk.co.uk shop has a bad rep, Not too sure about the .com riders website. I think they're two completely different things, correct me if I'm wrong though.
  14. Good twist, if a tad obvious.
  15. I would recommend the M.A.D. Phase 1.2 It's a relatively cheap bike with a nice riding geo and all that really needs upgrading is the rear hub and brake pads.
  16. I always thought that it was because something to do with the seals and that water was thin enough to leak out but oil couldn't. Probably completely wrong but hey-ho
  17. Just out of curiosity what's wrong with your current rotor? I've ridden a mod with 160 Hope Techs and I couldn't feel anything 'lacking' rotor-wise.
  18. My mate used to always borrow my bike and ride it over the bonnet his rat polo. Rust is grippier than paint The dents used to add to the 'effect' haha
  19. [quote name=Nick pyke ' timestamp='1291556200' post='2224905] *long to rea thorugh all of this* so its a topic for spoilt brats to compare each others wealth then yes?
  20. I either guesstimate, or use the ol' trick of using 1 or 2 store cards or similar between the pad and rim to set up my brake.
  21. If you're not a weight weenie then I couldn't recommend a frame more. Geo is lush and because its a tank you can bash it all day long There's also no need for a brake booster due to the super stiff seat-stays.
  22. It's easier to replace HS33 pads, they literally just pop off of the cylinders. As for the hub try to find a second hand wheel off ebay or here when you're validated. A good idea would be to find a wheel with a Hope Pro2 trials edition hub. Single-speed is definitely the way forward decreases weight and less maintenance needed on a whole. You can buy single speed kits pretty cheap and rig your mech to be a chain tensioner.
