  3. Jobs

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted

    I work doing the cleaning in my local butchers. It may not be a pleasant job, but I get good pay ( £5 an hour ) and my boss is a nice guy. If you have a local butcher, try asking them, they may have a vacancy. It was this job that allowed me to buy my onza so I would say just go out and get asking people.

    Only if you are REALLY desperate try mcdonalds....

    Oh, ok.

    I did wonder if that might be the case...

    And pissin_on_the_fence that is what I'm planning on doing... Using this bike until I get sick of it or the frame breaks, then stickin most of the parts on a new frame... I was originally gonna go for a mod liek a t-bird, but I am nearly 6 ft now so I felt a bit uncomforttable on it. Plus I compared the weight of a t-raptor to a t-pro mod and found that they were actually pretty similar so it wouldn't make too much difference...

    would you mind putting it on youtube ( www.youtube.com ) or google video for those non-windows users please...

    ( I can't play windows media files such as .wmv and .wma as they are windows only files... )

    Seen Trivium live 4 times :D and they are amazing.

    My favourite song at the moment is probally Trivium covering Metallica - Master Of Puppets on the Metallica Tribute album from kerrang.

    :badger:

    Going to see them support Iron Maiden :D . You can get the video for trivium covering master of puppets on youtube.com - as well as many good trials videos :D . Their album ascendancy just kicks so much butt... :blink::lol:

  14. How To Make Vp Cages Stronger.

    I have the onza vp pedals and I seriously dislike them for the fact that they have left big fat scars on my left shin >_< . Apart from that they are very grippy pedals, unless you ride them with wet shoes - when I could not keep my feet on and subsequently my left slipped off and stabbed itself on the pedal.

  22. Has Anyone Ever Had Bent Chainring Problems - 26" Bikes.

    in Beginners Trials Chat

    Posted · Edited by robnewland

    Recently on my onza t-raptor the chain came off without me realising it, and got stuck between my bashguard and chainring - scratching the paint quite badly and bending the front chainring. So I took it off and sorted it out. Five minutes later it came off again and bent the chainring once more. So I decided enough was enough and went out to replace the bent chainring.

    £16 down and with a new middleburn chainring fitted I don't have this problem anymore because the new one is wider than the cheapo one that came with my onza, and subsequently the chain can't slip down into the gap between my chain and bashguard.

    This was quite an annoying problem, but I was wondering has anyone else ever suffered this?
