  1. It looks like the weather is going to stay bad, unless it changes massively I won't be heading up, sorry guys. Adam
  2. Best video I have watched all year! Makes me glad I have bought a Hex, deffinitely time to start enjoying riding again!!! Well done on a great video Mark!! Adam
  3. That Dakota Roche vid is epic! the hop over rail drop to manual around halfway through was mental!! Adam
  4. Give the king a chance, I ran kings for years and never had issues, I then went to a FFW for 2-3 years but am now back on a king, it feels strange, but I doubt I will change it! Adam
  5. Rob did say he was swapping with you, I wouldn't be worried too much, I expect I will ride this mostly TGS style, it is just a much more chilled out style of bike to ride, I don't feel the need to push for higher and higher stuff now, I just want to have fun!! I am still aching like a bitch after riding on monday!! Adam
  6. After selling my Echo trial 24 back at the end of summer I decided to get another bike, and after seeing a real bargin in the forsale section I thought I would give it a try, so this is the streetiest bike I have had in probably 8-9 years!! It is going to take alot of getting used to and I am suffering from my first ride out on it yesterday, aching like hell right now! Spec: Inspired Hex Frame Tryall forks BBB 110mm x 35deg stem Trialtech High Rise bars Rear 05 Magura with TNN LGM pads Front Hope Mono Trial 190mm Rear CK Singlespeed on Echo TR rim with Holyroller tyre Front Trialtech disc hub on Mavic rim with mostly slick try-all tyre Trialtech cranks, unsure what bash and sprocket. Inspired Pivotal Saddle and Post Welgo MG1 pedals. My Current Bike Stable: Adam
  7. Stretching the spring in a King is actualy a REALLY bad idea, I can't remember exactly the reason why (Hopefully someone from tartybikes will chime in) but I remember my first King had a stretched spring and it tried to kill me on more than one occasion, I replaced it with a new spring and it was spot on for years!! Adam
  8. Awesome idea Ben! This will give me something to have a bash at on my new bike! I have a couple of riding spots that would be great for this, just need to choose one now..... Adam
  9. Looks great, but cutting brake mounts off some £150 forks is just mental! Adam
  10. Looks Great Lewis! I keep looking at hex's as I quite fancy one to riding more interesting again!! Adam
  11. Great clips Johny! GLad to see you back on a bike, it looks like you need to try and relax a bit more when your on the bike! Cheeky begger you! That was at my heaviest, around 2 years ago! And I wasn't really riding much at that point, I used to sit around the 19-20st mark, Working on bringing it back down to the 18st and under mark now! Adam
  12. I hate to say, but £5 is not enough, £25posted would be more like it! After all it is in very good condition and is a very rare colour! Adam
  13. Now then: One Turquiose 32h CK classic hubshell, this colour is actually very rare, I wasn't planning on getting rid, but I will never have a use for it any more! Apparently the Viz blue hubs are quite a good match for this! And for my next trick........ Adam
  14. There is a possibility that I have a 32h CK hubshell somewhere, I will see if I can dig it out tomorrow! Adam
  15. Really enjoyed that video, serious riding, can't wait to see how he does in the big competitions next year!! Adam *Still think the bar angle looks horrid though, Doesn't look comfortable when riding on 2 wheels at all!
  16. Glad to hear that the shimano levers are working well on the TR calipers for you, It made a massive difference to mine! Adam
  17. I have also just got an S3, I wanted a case because I thought the phone actualy felt too smooth, an would just slip out of my hands, so I bought this case: http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1497.l2649 I don't like things to be too bulky in my pocket and this case is such a good fit and pretty thin (although feels pretty tough) one guy actualy didn't think it was a case! Although I doubt it would really be suitable for climbing, like has been suggested, either get a cheap phone to carry or leave it in your bag at the bottom! Adam
  18. After looking at the weather it might be worth doing this on another day, it looks like its going to be VERY wet! Adam
  19. I have seen quite a few people up there walking, as there is a nice coast path that runs up from perran porth, but no one has ever said anything when i have been there on the motorbike, mind you I have only been there on that once before! Adam
  20. Rode there once before on the Sherco, never had any issues! Adam
  21. As the topic guys, Thinking of riding Cligga Head on bank holiday monday, more than likely won't get there until mid day and I will be on the GasGas, should be a good ride!! Adam
  22. Hey dude, your more than welcome to stay at mine whatever night! I could dust off the bike and ride on friday afternoon as I finish work at 2! I am near coventry, so slightly out of the way, but not by much..... Adam
  23. Right then Guys! I am planning on riding my roady alot more and my saddle really isn't great, I can manage 15 - 20miles at most before really needing to get off, can anybody recommend a good comfortable saddle for both commuting and general riding, not to expensive either. Thanks Adam
  24. Haven't watched this in YEARS! Love it! Adam
  25. This is awesome, when I have time I will be watching it right through! Adam
