  1. I'd probably have to grind my frame down too :( But yeah, previously with a non-127.5mm BB I used to periodically hit my chainstay with my crank arm sidehopping. Go flexy square taper BB/cranks :-
  2. That'd read more accurately as: Never the over-payed, complete wanker players, is it? No, it's Sven who didn't score the goals, who didn't save the shots, who didn't tackle the players properly, who didn't pass well... Oh their's David Beckham, I need to go whack off. England are shit. Look at their record. Fair enough, be patriotic, but for f**ks sake, they're shite.
  3. ACS = 15mm body + 2mm tabs. ENO = 16mm body + 1mm tabs. f**k grinding the extractor tabs off my Eno though, not really down with that at all...
  4. Yeah, I was gonna get a new BB soon anyway, so it should be OK I guess. I'm running a Truvativ Gigapipe DHXLSUPERDUPER at the moment, and it's 127.5mm, but they're weird. Micrometer'd it up today and there's less than 4mm clearance 'tween the freewheel tabs and the BB shell, so I maybe have to get busy with the ol' file :ermm:

  6. It should be on the Chilli Video site. All the music's available on the internet from one place or another; Mark, who used to ride here, had the whole soundtrack from T&S1, and most from Chainspotting. Got a few of the Wu Tang Clan songs from T&S2...
  7. Either way, like Simon said, No For Sale/Wanted in NMC...

  9. http://www.author.cz/cs/obchod/kde-nakoupit/distribuce/ No UK distro mentioned? I know Dirt did a review of the frame a while back, so if they do back issues of frame tests on their site you might be OK. MBUK reviewed an Author recently too, I believe...
  10. I stripped the thread in my Muscleman cranks and couldn't get the pedal out. At least I couldn't 'til I rode it like that. IT comes out easy enough, just be careful or you'll end up unintentionally stamping your foot super hard when it comes out :ermm:
  11. Jeez, that's precisely why I would hate to rollerblade. Think about it. You fall off and really hurt yourself doing that. What were you doing? The equivalent of stepping off a wall. Imagine that. How embarrassing would that be? Blading's shit anyway, maybe that'll have battered some sense into him.
  12. Er, the excerpt was from a clip trying to get publicity for a fundraising thing for the flood, so the whole point of it was to help those who are in trouble now by getting money to people to help them?
  13. Click me (Left click)! That's just a little vid I knocked up this morning to show someone about how to preload for gaps. Shitty example, but you can see how you can work to the edge of whatever you're going off of to get to the optimum place. Sorry for: Shit quality - just a digital camera. Shit style/riding - haven't ridden the Pro in aaaaaaages, so it was all a bit weird after my BMX :P Anyway, hope it's of some help. http://dl6.rapidshare.de/files/4841796/85181165/Gaps.wmv /\ That might work too :) Just tried it and it does, just left click :(
  14. If they're the carbon fibre ones you're after, they're not in production because they'd retail at approx. £600 per pair, or something around that figure...
  15. Sexy :( Yeah, same as me. How well does the freewheel sit on the threads? Is there much/any overhang?

    New Site

    Text speak like that and other similar things really put off potential buyers of a new company. Un-professional text on sites and "Out Of Stock" products don't fill me with confidence. Good luck with it though, but yeah, try and tidy it up a bit :( Oh, and Vid 1's a little invisible?
  17. You running fixed or freewheel up front?
  18. Cool :P Thanks for the reply :( Just spoke to Dave@TB now too and he backed up saying about just slightly widening the crank recessed bit. I guessed as much, but thought I should check. Thanks y'all.
  19. Generally, a well made quick-link will leave a stronger chain than a joined up one. The pins never go back into it properly, and always leave the chain weaker to some extent. As well as that, it's just convenient :P
  20. I was just going to hacksaw the bitches off, then file any excess off to get it clean. I don't fully trust myself with angle grinders (not that I have one atm :)), and I don't really want to run the risk of warping my BB shell from the heat created by it. I know it's unlikely, but it'd right piss me off :(
  21. These are the pics Deadly Venom sent me:
  22. Right. Basically, I very rarely go to bash, so I was thinking of going for the UCI-style bashring set-up and ditching my bashplate (held on with zip ties :( ). I was just wondering how other mod riders have fared with an 18t-suitable bashring? I used to run a 22t bash on my T-Bone and that was rinky dink, but I didn't know what it'd be like with an 18t. I'm thinking of, if I go down the bashring route, hacksawing the bash mounts off of my frame (the BB one where the elastomer presses into) so they don't get mashed to pieces by walls/rocks/whatever if I do have a trip to Bash Avenue, so does anyone have any words of advice on that one for me? Any bashring Python riders got anything to add? Thanks for any help - oh - and if anyone knows what the "slight modification" is to get this ...onto Tensiles? I'm guessing it's to do with mod'ing the "crank recess" so it's burly enough for the width of the Tensile arms? Thanks for any help y'all, Mark
  23. I think it's just the fact the frame somehow looks bigger than a house that makes it look small in comparison. I think it's either Emmelle or Appollo who also make a genuine trials bike too. Worrying trends ahoy.
  24. What about BIU? If I'm riding mod, do I have to wear lycra? Any other crappy ideas you want to share with us?
  25. Look to be silver on Selectbikes.com's site, but they're out of stock :(\
