AVG isn't bad, Avast is all quite good for 64 bit. Alternatively just delete the poop made by Microsoft from your computer and install Fedora Core, it pwns Nearly all virues are designed for MS Windows as most people use that so by installing Linux 99% of all viruses out there will not harm your system Oh yea, the best thing is Fedora and all its applications such as Open Office are 100% FREE Download from here: Fedora Core Cheers, Mike.

I would be sat infront of my computer 24/7, playing games or programming Mike.

Yea it is a brand new rim mate. If your spokes won't reach there holes are you sure that you have the correct length spokes? There is a good tutorial on how to take all the measurements you need to order the correct length spokes somewhere on here, I will link to it when I find it again, Cheers, Mike. Here is the link to the spoke measuring thingy Spoke Measurement Mike

Hey guys, Just finished putting a shimano hub onto a mavic EX721 rim. I have managed to get all of the lacing correct with only one little mishap (put the key spoke in the wrong place to start which didnt help ) I trued the wheel and go it so it doesnt wobble vertically (side-to-side) but there are a couple of spots where it rises horiontally and I cant get rid of them! They are only tiny I would say 0.5 - 0.75 mm, does this much 'untrueness' effect the way the wheel will operate or would it be ok to ride? I feel pretty chuffed for a first attempt Cheers, Mike.

Thanks for all of the replys guys! Ok I have been looking at some trials bikes online and it strikes me that getting a 26" that is half decent is a lot more expensive than getting a half decent 20". I have been looking a the t-raptor but don't really like its looks The t-pro looks pretty sweet and I think is more 'flicky' (as I have been reading) but is harder to get up large objects on? My question is this: Would either a 26" or 20" bike restrict me from learning certain aspects of trials? Or is it just simply a matter of taste? I have never ridden a 20" bike and am guessing this would be a good place to start? Cheers, Mike.

Hey guys, Well I have been out of the MTB scene for quite some time. I'm now @ uni and bored of sitting around the flat all day so decided to dust off the old bike. (I am a complete noob @ trials and can just remember how bunny/side hop. ) I have an old DMR Trailstar frame with some Judy C forks on it. It has some half decent Avid v's for brakes and some Mavic Ex721 rims and I wondered: 1. Is this ok as it is to get started before i replace it with something better? or 2. Should I replace the Judy's with a rigid trials fork in order to reduce the weight? and also 3. Do the brakes need beefing to say HS33's?? Forgot to mention its a 14" frame Cheers, Mike.
