    Need Help

    Just about understood your question. Answer: Yes.
  2. They're not "too short", it's just that longer cranks mean that you can run a harder gear (and therefore have more power, which is a good thing) but it'll feel easier, because you have more leverage (so you can get to the power more easily :(). But f**k it, just run 20:14 :(
  3. I used to run 22:14 on my T-Bone 'cos I'm butch as f**k. On an unrelated note, I'd go for 20:13, but get some longer cranks. All the power of 20:13, but it'll feel as easy as 20:14. Works for me with 175mm cranks and 18:12 on my T-Pro :(

    Random Lass

    Then I notice your penis.

    How?

    Sucks to be your back wheel in 0.1 seconds :( Nice gappage though :(
  6. Oh look, I have barspinned. Oh look, I have snapped my hose.
  7. Someone needs to check the Leeson site and look at ET's BMX then :("

    How?

    Same as how you can throw a ball, move your hand out and pick something up - depth perception, and a shitload of practise. You couldn't always gap to wherever you wanted to go - it's just practise so your body knows how to do it. It still is a bit of a mindf**k though :(
  9. Yeah, basically? Text is a lot less dense than a colour image. It draws the eye less than a colour image does, which is the main problem. Plus they tend to look shite, and I don't really get how your sig image "expresses yourself"? It doesn't tell me shit about you apart from your name? If you're so 1 dimensional you can "express yourself" in such a tiny image, maybe getting some depth of design talent might be an idea... Guess who's tired and bitchy \o/
  10. Not very well? It's probably not super strong, probably doesn't have the sort of geometry you'd want for trials (length and rise), and would probably flare the f**k out of the outer sleeve. It's made for tandems. If it was good for trials, people would use it already :(
  11. Front divided by rear = usable answer. e.g., for mod, 18/12=1.5 Waaaaaay better than "How many teefs do you have?"
  12. what's with the stumpy set-up? Surely 20" wide bars mean your hands are well into bendsville?
  13. Er... several words - if it's a shit product, I couldn't give a shit if it had a lifetime warranty.
  14. You do with a front brake when you run the cable through the fork, which is what I was refering to. I just meant you can run a f**kin' tight bend without any of the binding you seemed to think you were getting with your current setup.
  15. He's right, you know. The Linear Slic cable would be perfect for your front brake, Mr. Tomm. It should fit through the star nut hole too, but it'll work way better. With my Clarks/Shimano outer/inner combo, with my back brake on my BMX, I could get one full barspin and it started binding. Any more and it was shite. With the Linear Slic the same length, I could do a triple if I wanted to/could, with no binding. Should be wubbly for the front...

    New Chain

    They just mean that if you run a 9t driver on your cassette hub you can use it. This is 'cos the original Shadow chain couldn't, so they've addressed that issue and the fact they used to just fall apart. However, the main flaw was the fact that they doubled in length in 13 seconds, but there's nothing they can do about that, so they don't mention it. Anyway, the Shadow Interlock V1 was OK for trials use, in the sense that it'd go round your sprockets fine anyway.

    New Chain

    That chain is also sold from Cycle Sport Limited for a tenner. It's the Shadow Interlock 2, which Shadow will probably charge 2.5x the amount Cycle Sport do for it :P But either way, if you don't need a half-link I don't know why you'd get one. f**k - even if you DO need a half-link I don't know why you'd get one. KHE Collapse is where it's at :P

    Wtf?!

    Not to mention if <name changed to protect the innocent> is away for any reason you won't get a super fast reply, as there's generally only one person who does most of the e-mail shiz... Just phone 'em (Y) I used to have the whole worried to call thing, but it gets shit done sooooooo much easier (Y)
  22. This is a different compound, Mr. Hudson (Y)

    Wtf?!

    Bikedock's idea of "in stock" seems to vary. Waaaaaay too many stories of them not telling people stuff is out of stock and so on...
