loving all the manueling, your vid was phAAt! and loving the attempt at 360 off the post box.

hahaha this is classic, 12 a day, you beast, and i dont care about being smooth as it usually restricts your limits on riding bigger things. not having a WANK in 1week is actually hard but ill TRY and see if it makes me rape my bike to bits by being more beasty.

if he wanted to go back to mod he would have done. shwwet bike there matey, looking good. glad theres no whacky colours on there aswell, kept it swish

does it lock up or just not actually work as youd like it to. possibly a new bleed, you may have lost some fluid or something

ohh deary me. so much for me liking them, what is he doing about the warrently etc, i wonder if they may be arses about the paint stripping.

you cool b*****d. i love it

haha it looks cool and different, keep it for the skatepark trips and street missions(the not too trialsy parts i mean), haha good effort pal, how...erm different. but keep it for centimental value. but how does it actually ride??? honestly, compared to a 'real' trials bike.

well you could say its very odd looking, but different on the other hand, wonder how strong it will be, and the stiffness?? am i the only one to realise the odd coloured cranks, left being Black, drive side being silver, tut tut haha

yeah well sorry forgot to mention, that, if the security are polite(rarely) we move on. notice how the people without power are the aggriessive ones, the police are soo calm and down to earth round here.

most of the mark is from your design and research folder, and obviously your final exam, i have just finished it, my practical was around an A which ws a centre piece for a table with candles etc. some schools including mine wouldnt let me do a bike part as it has to be a full job, not a spare if you get me. it also depends on your school machines and resources. mine was pretty basic, with one wood class and the other being an everything class with 2 lathes, brazing hearth, 1 drilling maching, a miller and a bandsaw, and also the nob headness of your fellow class people, mine was full of tools getting below D's and never did their written work but i just reclused myself,haha. clocks are good, there loads of whakky designs, you want something different, not a common thing that wont make the examiner interested.

yeah we occasionally have the odd couple and groups of grownups standing there watching us and complimenting on how its actually good to have a hobby etc that impressive. when somebody complains at us usally an older person or security guards i just blast them with 'well would you rather me smash up your house and garden while high off drugs and kick the sh!t out of people you know' NO?? well piss off then, that usually works (only men though i respect women more haha) groups of chavs 'how much was your bike mate, wed get about 20 quid for that down the road?' sorry pal not enough it always breaks. and quite a lot of the time we get older men 'well get on with it what are you messing about on their for, are you going to do it or what'

*all the while i am waiting for a hope lover to reply and fill us all with technical bullsh!t*

mallet - 'my boss at work has a Bugati Veyron' spaz from school - the tsunami has turned out to be a good thing, id like to adopt and asian and neglect it' (talking to the rest of the class and the geography teacher by the way) lee buchannon to a random hot girl walking past. 'nice shoes there, fancy a f**k?'

seeing as though you already have the cables and levers, you would be a fool not to go for the avid, seriously, its the best thing i have bought in the past year for any bike i have, what a deal, 45 quid, nice and tidy 160mm rotor, no problems. and the simplicity helps soo much if your out on a ride and it all goes tits up, just tweak it with the speed dial and cables or what ever. and the power, it rapes all the hope brakes i have been on. judging on mates with hope, to keep them running you need to be a sad tool and tweak it every week and spend lots of care an attention on it kiss my arse, avid take about 3 minutes to stick a new wd40'd up cable in avid all the way

seeing as though u didnt listen to me and andy you aint gonna listen to anyone else. they dent like tin foil and they feel sluggish and heavy as you know how nialles was. but something a bit longer is alwasya beter move, zona zip? great for the money and feel great. hmm anyhoo if you feel you want that one, go for it.

well depending on how you screw them in, as my mate does he tightens one side up first then the other, which is silly, think about it, you screw in the bolt with it going in at an angle being raped with stress. there he then stripped the threads

yes, hmm tight spokes to keep your wheel together is quite a bad mistake

haha nope no underage driving here, i meant me and dale had GCSE's not adam, hes a year older, just to clear that up, were not as twatish as you may think, well... we like to be anyway

*mainly people braking promises and being unreliable. *People being sooo god damn cavareful with there bike as in the way it restricts them from getting better. *And the way some people big up things, give out bullshit then try and turn the story around later to cover their ass. *People who get your hopes up with things when acually nothingis going to happen *The way people try and talk in your accent from down south or scotland etc because im an ugly talkin northerner. *Security guards *extra holes in your socks *when the butter is too hard and it tears your bread *fish *crosshead bolts on bikes WHY not just all allen bolts *barnoldswick that wil do for now but the list is endless

i want to see ash eat a pro2 and give up his bike as he said he would do if they broke/skipped whatever he said and basically, its a bloody trials hub, lets hope this was a one off break and most peoples wont do it, does anybody know any of the testers for the hubs as this one wasnt promoted by anyone on here other than ash and bits from wanyio. it wouldnt be a good situation for every 'hard' riders hub exploding on them would it, we cant all ride like a fairy

my friend uses that method of clamping it on with the skewer, hes had it for months as he had mojor problems with getting a KOT hanger so he bodged it. and no major bike shops do them, they only do the base which are similar in shape but the width is different, i aint paying £15 for something that doesnt go on right im unhappy now

seeing as though tarty have never had any hangers for the ashton, and others such as select and MJ dont either, the ashton website has never been updated, i dont actyually know weather it is realiable to order a mech hanger or not, im going to ring them tomorrow or does anybody know where i can get one from, the 3 LBS dont have any either and nor Aire valley, (well they didnt a few eeks ago anyway) id just like to know weather the ashton bikes site is reliable for delivery etc,

on the way to the LBS, i rode under a ladder and before i actually got to the shop i crossed the road hurridly, didnt straighten up and i got raped by a big ass brick sticking out of the wall, leaving me with a 3inch long, 1inch wide and straight to the bone hole in my forearm. rave on seriously, 3rides out of the many that i have last had, somebody has said, i hope we dont get a puncture because we havnt got any tools, and i go and get a snake bit every F**king time. AND the other week, cruising in the car on a horrible stormy day, dale - 'you better not crash the bloody car adam and kill us, we have GCSE's in 1 week' josh(me) 'well done dale but a jinx on the night' ***20 minutes later adam doing a handbrake turn ona desolate carpark in the pissing down rain*** he crashed it into a wall,(nearly a right off) how great is that, i think i am a curse.

loving the video, the music went well with the riding aswell as you are sooo damn smooth. smoooth

judging on the magazine pictures etc, it is an Orange Ashton, exactly the same but with an orange logo on the headtube, i hope they would go into developemtn and do components etc from MBUK's bit on martyn. 'joined up to create a strong distribution of Ashton products and to widen the Ashton range' - new bits woo hoo 'Orange have given me an amazing opportunity to expand' well then, thats what he supposedly said. sorted
