Then start a peace prize to repent my sins...

Conscription: "Simon, dump Trials-Shack, you are required by law to fight for us." Ailment: "Sir, I can't join you 'cos I've got flat-foot/AIDS/I'm MrMonkey/etc." I'd wait 'til conscription. I have no desire to fight in our army at all, so I'd rather not die in the process of doing so. If I didn't have to, I wouldn't.

Wayne got 7th. That's about as useful as I can be.

Arrived today, in black and siler >_<

That was a cool vid :blink: Nice to see someone ride a mod like a mod, not just a scaled down stock >_< Well done with the video :ermm:

My wheelbase works out as around 990-ish mm. Chainstays are, I think, either 365mm or 372mm... I have a hunch they're 365mm, but I'm not 100% about that at all. What frame are you comparing it to? EDIT: Same geometry as the Levelboss 20, and they've (short and long) got 350mm stays, so I'd have thought it would've been the same for the Pro.

It'd probably be wise to ride with your feet as far out on the pedals as possible, so when the spindle breaks you don't get a huge gash down the inside of your leg from the jagged end of it >_< That, or just buy the decent FSA Bb's :blink:

They're about the same, bitch-wise. If you go on, for example, www.bmx-forum.com, they're even worse. At Newport the time before last I went there, there were countless bitchy BMXers doing the wannabe-pro thing. BMXers complain about how many pegs other people have, how many brakes they run, what #-piece bars they run, etc. It's just as bad as trials...

Superglue is superglue, and an epoxy resin is just a glue where you mix two chemicals together, then apply it. I don't know why you'd need to use either of them, in any context to do with a brake unless it was to like glue your pads back into the backing? Either way, they wouldn't do anything to help you brake.

Hey Ben, Yeah, there's some really good riding there, and as long as you've got better directional skills than Aust (as in you can tell your arse from your elbow >_<) you should be able to find it. There's some cool street, and loads of good bouldery techy natural stuff. Good good good.

We don't know what new members are like. You don't know what new members are going to be like. How do you know they're safe to deal with? It's basically our way of safe-guarding against people just coming on here and ripping people off, as more recently new members seem to be trying to do >_<\ Also, it makes people post well and contribute to the forum, instead of just making money off it by just selling stuff but not really doing anything else worthwhile on here.

Did you have the "Awaiting Confirmation" shit with your's too? Or did it just come, like most parts would've done? >_<

He's 20-21 now. Anyway, this kid's 8: http://www.alldumb.com/item/11982/

Didn't seem to be an option, just for the Echo new-style bash...

Well, not *many* trials riders do. 407mm chainstays seem a bit...er...long? 'cos beginners would surely want a bike that was easy to get on the back wheel and quite nimble 'cos they're not going to have the finesse to be able to backhop and so on straight off, so having 3/4mile long stays on is a little excessive?

Sums my feelings up too, but it's like trials 60/40 BMX...

YEah, you can't really ride threads wrong (Y) The Koxx ones are just the same generic ones that most companies seem to peddle? If so, I really wouldn't recommend them. Sikamon's felt like utter shite. The only reason I'd ever think his were any good were 'cos they were free. If you dicks would all just buy Renthals, I wouldn't have to write long posts to try and extol the virtues of Renthals. Let me break this down. I have tried many, many grips. I am what, in nature, is known as a "Right Fussy Little Shit". I tear through grips. I haven't torn through the Renthals, they're thin, and they're lovely. I can't recommend them highly enough, and coming from a RFLS, that's high praise indeed. Buy the damn things now, or I'll eat your face. Full diamond, soft compound. BUY BUY BUY

I believe this mod's on the crank arm though, so unfortunately that's not super applicable. I hate taking htem off back wheel using the 'twist the wheel' method just 'cos of the horrific "CCRRREAAAAAKKKKKYYYYYOOOOOUUUUU'RREEEEEEBRREEEEAAAAAKIIIIINNNGGGGGGGMMEEEEEEEE" sound from your spokes/hub/rim...

Jeez, you'd have hoped it would've taken less than 2 days to look at a box, see "Echo 18t bash", then send it off, if you're correct (Y) Meh, it'll be here on day (hopefully) I guess...

You forgetting that black people CAN be born in America/UK? *shock horror* So to "go back where they came from" they'd just be staying where they are?

Busy and can't, just wanted to see if anyone here knew anything. Also, to see what people's experiences are like with Select's delivery times 'n' stuff.

Ahoy, Ordered an Echo bash off Selectbikes on Wednesday, at about 11pm. Wasn't here this morning, so I thought I'd check the site. Found the order tracking thing, and this is all it had to say: Order --------- Ref Date --------------- Status SelectBikesxxxxxx | 8 September 2005 | Awaiting Confirmation Anyone know what they mean by "Awaiting Confirmation"?

Unfortunately, if you're being smeared across a dam wall, there's not much chance of doing that I guess :(

It's loads easier just using a freewheel remover bolted to the crank arm/freewheel though. That way, you've still got a spare freewheel, and lockrings can be total bitches to remove sometimes. With my freewheel before, we had to actual dent, bend and fully rape the lockring to get it off. Anyway, a simple way of remembering how to take the freewheel off is to make sure you're turning it the the freewheel clicks (that's if you're doing it the bolted on remover way).
