I think there is too much black on those bikes ! Try blue like me..... [attachmentid=8707] [attachmentid=8708] Ps... Just a heads-up, but keep a look out for my bike. It's about to change shape and colour!

My 05 pitbull long. 150mm by 3 degree rise. Huge because i'm 6'6" Rides so well on the rear wheel and is still flickable for natural. Can 360 spin on the rear wheel, 180 normal, reverse and aly-oop, 270, manuel (sort of), tap, bunny hop (bloody high), rolling gaps, front wheel moves and all that shizzle. So it can be done with that amount of rise on the front end. Just takes time to get accustomed to the feel, which most people that have tried, seem to get on well with my bike. They like the feel of how it handles. Check the pics...... http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=85955

Check out Dave in some of the thinkbikes videos. www.thinkbikes.com He can do G-turns, squeekers and 360 spin and hopping on the front wheel. Can't do anything on his rear wheel though Rob

Hello i'm here! I live in your head and my number is 555-6969.

Ridden one! Exactly the same as last years t-pro. Very light and flicky. Good for natural and street. Comes with maguras as standard, bash, onza hog drilled rims, stem and bars. Comes with an ACS freewheel, not a Tensile. (still very good, quick engagements) KMC Kool chain as standard. Mono front hub but does have disc forks. Tensile maggie mounts too. £399.99 = Bargin Thumbs up from me. Rob

Mr Porter of Portersville. I wish i was either full ginger or soming else. Depending on the time of the month or the weather, i'm either gingerish or very light brown (darker brown in the winter). My beard on the other hand will just come through ginger and i like it (especially wearing my green hoody, it clashes). If you colour your hair i will cut off my left hand and post i to your holding my pubic hair! Your choice! That or i come hug you if i ever ride with you! (i'd like to hug you!) Rob (Ginger Minger) PS. We should start a Ginger Only Club! You've gotts have a ginger bike too lol.

As he above me said. Head to the gallery, then london street pics.

To put the record straight.... i built one up yesterday. They come with an ACS freewheel. I use a hope pro 2 and thought that it was fine. Bike was light and flicky, pretty nice and longish (but not like a zoo). Looked just like last years t-pro, but this year the t-pro comes with vees so this is basically the upgrade. Comes with normal maggie pads (not kool stops or tensile ones) Drilled hog rims, onza bars, stem, bashguard and all the usual shizzle. Does come with Tensile 4-bolt mounts though and KMC kool chain. I thought it was a good bike, especially at £399.99 When i tried a 180 gap, found that i could over spin it and nearly did a 360 gap like Mr Ashton (tempted to get one just for doing that). Rob

Everyone bow down to my greatness! Totally forgot i posted this, then had a problem putting the pictures up. Opps! Feel quite embarassed now :$ Did make me laugh though Urm..... i'll try and get round to it now that i have a resizing programe but still only using a 56k dialup connection so may take a while lol. Rob EDIT: for the mean time, here's a link to some photos i took in London. Was only using the flash that came with the camera and hadn't adjusted any settings http://www.thinkbikes.com/gallery/?dir=.%2...london251106%2F

We use a 180mm rotor because it has greater braking power than a 160mm rotor. Could be used on a mod as it's lighter but you're riding stock, so your gonna need as much braking performance as possible. I'd invest in a larger rotor, only £20 (ish) Hope that helps. Rob

Made my own version of the armadillo down tube protector at work today for a friends new bike! Call it the Patented Duke-madillo (A Trials b Basher's Friend) Will get some pics up soon so will be taking orders if you like the look of them. Rob

Lovely riding james. Keep up the good work you beast! Hopefully ride again dude. Rob

If it definetly your bars creeking, stop using them now! Usually a sign of a fracture. They will just snap soon without warning. Check them around where they clamp to the stem. Echo forks are flexi, it what gives them their feel. Mine sound like they are gonna snapp but thats normal with all the pairs i've had. Rob

it's a sealed unit... the idea is your ride it till it breaks and then just replace it. So much easy and decreases the risk of problems. Should have bought one brand new.... never buy one second hand. You don't know the full extent of use/wear n tear/bashing Rob

Well i managed 80.4 cm today. Beat that!!!! I can't

lovely boys, really good show what, what! Loving the bikes, absolutely brilliant little kiddies bikes. No really, looks like you had some fun lads, can't wait to get my new wheels up and running (with dual disc). Will send you a picture when i do. Luv you loads Tarty Twins. Rob

t-pro need an internal headset but easy enough to get. Just ask in your local bike shop to sort you one out. If you don't know how to press it in and pop them out correctly, don't bodge it. Should only cost a few pounds to get it done by the pros. Rob

I had to ride 100 miles to bed mine in properely. Then had to take it in for it's first free service then was allowed to finally take it up to it's full rpm. Had to be careful so that it didn't slip so put some fresh oil on the paws. If you scratch them, they get weaker too and the anodised colouerd ones are alot heavier so don't get them. Hope that helps newbie

Yes it's true............ THE CHAI IS BACK IN TOWN! Was an awesome late night ride and the weather held off good. Some funny moments as usual (on wonky wheel with large holes through it, adam) Lots of fun riding the usual spots and was fun to see everyone again. Ta-ra Rob

Bought a new camera today so had a small play with it after work. Panasonic DMC-FZ7, 6 megapixels, 12x optical zoom, 1 gig of memory and all for under £200. (And yes i don't have a helmet, wasn't expecting to ride and wasn't doing anything big. Was just trying out the camera)

What! You wanna ride with me?! I'm totally different to the last time i rode with you (can actually keep up with you big guns now) Will be having another road trip in the summer (a full weeks worth of riding, drinking and some funny shizzle) with hopefully some surprise guests. Thanks for putting me on your wish list though dude. Don't know what mine would be..... give me a while to ponder over it whilst dragging on me pipe and sipping brandy. Rob

Mr Chai!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When are we sharing a bed again? I'll be there with Spode and it will be like old times. Bring your Asain bike with you, lol. Rob

Ok, are you ready? Here comes the advice....... 1. Never, ever bleed any brake system with water be it mineral or tap. it is not good for the seals or the pistons. Water = rust and brakes not walking properely. 2. How often have you been bleeding your brake? From experience you shouldn't need to be bleeding it all the time. If you are, you might have a problem somewhere along the system or you could be causing one. 3. Frame flex! Are you running a booster. This can really improve some brakes as not all frames are very good at stopping flex. 4. Make sure you are setting your pads up as flat to the rim as possible. Can really improve brake performance or if poorly set up, make breaking poor. 5. Try-all rims are brilliant for running a grind. (Words of advice from the Tarty Boyz)Using a metal cutting disc at a 90 degree angle to the rim surface, lightly grind in one direction trying to keep the grind neat and even (big chunks missing can wear out your pads quicker or result in destroying them completely) 6. Good pads for wet weather are Koxx brown and blue or MJC Majic pads. Never had a problem with them and have known many people to swear by them. 7. Tar can help in the rain. Not much, but is better than nothing. Just use a small amount. Loads of tar on your rim will cause slipping. 8. If all that fails, run a disc like what i'm gonna do in the new year. Now go forth and battle the weather with a brake that works. Rob

Interesting.... Had the same problem just the other day! Went from running single speed and a Kool chain to gears and a mtb chain. It's mtb size but can run bmx chain also, but as i found out the other day, going from running a kmc chain back to a mtb chain can cause problems! The larger chain will buffer the edges of the cog out and every so slightly change the shape of the gear, but nothing a mini file and some patience couldn't solve. Hope that helps, Rob

nope! Finished now. On smae time next week though.... This guy had a 3 inch penis (erect)! FReaky stuff.
