Jake. Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 That's quite a distressing ordeal to be honest, you sound like you're coping well. I've sorta had similar experiences to you but not suicide, more to do with the suddenness and unexpectedness of the death. The first time it was a neighbor, I didn't know him that well but I burst into tears out of shock. The second time it was a support teacher of mine that helped me loads through school, I didn't believe it for about 7 hours until I got home. But then when I sat down on my laptop I burst into tears for about an hour. Here if you need me dude x 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gentlydoesit Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 A close friend of mine for 14-15 years hung himself after finding his missus cheating, this was a few years back but it still affects me. his 10 year old daughter who was playing in the next room (don't think he knew) saw him do it and watched him die, which is the worst part.

That's sad I don't even know how he did it or why, which makes it hard to deal with. I wish I'd asked him if he was alright when I last saw him :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Reynolds Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 and on a side note, I got the frame kit from Seabass within a week This is what annoys me with most of the trials community. You see it all the time in the disputes section. You see someone having an issue with a seller, and people are like 'i've had no issues with them'. just because YOU had no issues with them, doesnt mean OTHER people havnt had issues with them and just because most of the time they are alright as a seller, doesn't give them the right to act like a complete tool towards someone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HippY Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I completely agree with you, but the reason why I put it here as nowadays he seems like a good seller. Trials forum should implement Buyers rating I think, so there will be an indicator factor... This is what annoys me with most of the trials community. You see it all the time in the disputes section.

*gentlydoesit Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Send it to me, I'll rebuild it for you I took it here http://birminghambikefoundry.org/contact-us-and-get-involved.html the guy said some of the spokes were too long and some too short, if he trued it there wouldn't be enough thread between spoke and nipple to be "safe to ride". Hence the mad dish to it Iin the first place I thought it'd just be a case of truing and dishing, but now it needs spokes too. f**king brad, why be such a cu nt? I wondered why he never added anything to the thread I started about the dish of it, guess now I know. If only I took the wisdom of the masses and sent it back, one of his pals cpuld of had the headache instead. You could give my lbs a call and get the lowdown, if you can sort it I'll bare my arse in tescos window Isn't the feedback thing back?

CalopS Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 Just order spokes from Tarty and build it yourself. http://sheldonbrown.com/wheelbuild.html It can take a while to do your first one but it's worth doing. Posting it to Bing and back again just seems like more wasted money to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bing Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Yeah prob is to be fair Carl. You need the dimensions of the rim and hub to work out the spoke lengths, but tartys should be able to help you out with that. After that follow a wheel building guide. I followed mark w's guide in the how to section in the beginners thread, it's spot on. It's upto you bud, I'm more than happy to help out, I've built a fair few now and got them all spot on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 If it's a trials rim/hub all you have to do is tell tarty what ones they are and they'll send you spokes for a 3x build normally Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*gentlydoesit Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Na, he's a general c unt Spokes can't shrink though, and their not going to stretch to the point that they're too long either. he said he paid 170. Wrong spokes dude. call the shop where the wheel is, tell them mike said to tell you about the wheel sorry to say, but your pal it a complete twat!

Spokes can't stretch or shrink enough to make any different to building, Brad's probably bodged something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's bollocks, it's just because they don't know how to build wheels properly. Spokes DO stretch, but they don't go past their elastic limit, so they don't need re-tensioning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
