  1. Aye. I thought 'oh here's a hook' and you went straight to back. Amazing. I hope you're liking your new bike
  2. sorry, didn't quite get what you meant. Erm hard to say as i'm not sure how wide the chainstays are. Being as it's an old frame i'm guessing it's quite narrow, meaning setting brakes up might be difficult and a narrower tyre may be needed.
  3. Yes. I run both and they're very good . Just make sure when ordering to get the right number of hole rim and hub
  4. Nice screenshots Bennyo! Was a good ride with some pretty good weather . I needa push my riding more...everything looks soo small Is Sam getting a bike again?? Get riding again Sam!!!
  5. Like i said the other week Alex, myself and a friend or 2 should be there on the Sunday. So i hope some of you will be riding then. The natural at Sheringham is awesome, and we only rode one little section last time
  6. Ok so today they we were sat in the common room and Radio 1 announced that Apple don't own the rights to the name 'iPhone' as Sisco Systems (i think) brought it a while ago and own the rights of anything to do with the name. It's probablyld news, or incorrect, so can anyone confirm this?
  7. I do Joe! Well have only brought 2 pairs from there for £15 each and they're still going very strong I mainly shop at....H&M, Freespirit, Cult, Burtons(mainly for school clothes), Topman and been to Urban Outfitters in London once and thought it was the best shop ever
  8. The editing on that was awesome! With some nice use of the camera aswell. Think i' gonna be getting one of these for sure
  9. The Evo 2 mounts with quick release system for maguras are designed so can be used on v-brake (2 bolt mounts. To be able to use bolts then you need a 4-bolt frame which is the standard for most new trials frames. Hope this has helped
  10. I can always expect something good from you, didn't disappoint. I've always thought a Paramore song would go well with a trials video, nice one . Riding was very good
  11. There's been a couple.... Damon's first video on the Adamant - Hadn't seen anything from him in a while and i was absolutely gob-smacked watching it Phil Feeney_define this and also Trapped in a moment were both awesome videos due to the idea of them with the commentary and whole feel to them. Brand_new_colony - Not sure if it was in 2006, but whenever i see that video it makes me want to ride
  12. Looks great. I'll definately be buying one! I'm not sure why but i couldn't stop laughing with Adam at the end
  13. He looked such a healthy and active guy, was really friendly and nice to talk to even though he didn't know me. Such a shame, I'm sure he will be missed by many I did have my bike with me that week, but not that evening. If you're ever gonna be in Cromer with your bike give me a PM if you want and i'll try and get a lift there. R.I.P. Ricky
  14. Haha, that really did make me laugh Awesome video as everyone has said, some huge moves in there. You get loads better with every video Hope it goes well with Adamant
  15. Sorry to here that I used to go on that site alot too, recognised where many of the pictures were. Just looked in your profile and seen that you ride a Planet-X Zedbi. The summer before last i was staying near Cromer and saw you and a guy on an Onza with Raceline Fluro maguras..... This was just as i was starting trials and it really inspired me. Seeing you backwheel those big marble blocks infront of the pier just made my jaw drop. Back on topic though R.I.P.
  16. I'm well looking forward to these. Should hopefully be entering most
  17. I'm coming with Wally and Todge too . Whenever i've been there i've wanted my bike cause the natural looks really good. See you all there tomorrow
  18. I see what you mean as i felt like i was beginning to get bored of riding the same places, same moves etc. Starting trials i only ever rode 2 places. It was good for beginning but when i started developing my moves it got boring. Then i became friends with a really nice guy who had a car so i got to go to new places....woah. I was more interested in the sport then i ever was . It was great, i had found inspiration again by riding with other people and at new places. In winter i don't feel motivated to ride with the weather and everything. But i started to ride in the wet a little bit more as it's always a challenge. The other day i did this fairly big gap, then i thought how about trying to do a half pedal stroke then gap instead of hopping on the spot for ages to get ready. I'm trying to learn manuals and other more streety moves, and because you're learning it's interesting to you. I do like to go big and try my hardest to push myself, but i find it good to try and be as smooth as possible and developing a style that is unique to you. Maybe try riding less often, so when you do ride you feel more motivated? Try and be as creative and smooth as you can, while still going big like Rowan for example. After all it's only a hobby, just enjoy yourself and have fun
  19. Nice bike. It is in really good condition as it was for his son, who rode it about 10 times and could only just pedal hop
  20. Picture of me in the summer at a party (not my hat btw )
  21. Wow....good to see another manufacturer trying hydraulic brakes. They look very similar in design to maguras though
  22. Many people (general public) see this differently to others. Like today i rode in quite a big town, and i had nothing but positive comments. Normally you get the odd person who feels they know everything and say that we are damaging public places. Fair enough, but most of the time it's only our tyres that contact surfaces. I have never liked to use my bashring, mainly because i respect what i ride and don't want to damage walls, benches etc. and like what others have said...we pay taxes which cover issues like this
  23. Soo many people believe Joe looks like Nick it's actually quite funny. I really think they're twins
  24. Thanks for sharing! Music wasn't to my taste, so i just turned it off but the riding was very good. Was good to see the 24" style riding on that bike, aswell as some big taps, sidehops etc. Good find
  25. Looking very good. Quite what mine would look like if i choose that frame. How do they ride being a mid height bb? Thanks
