I'll accept most stuff except "chav" music (ie. thud thud thud thud bang boom whizzzzz), and I really don't like indie. But mostly I like metal Most every CD I've got (which is a LOT) is metal... Eg. In Flames, Dimmu Borgir, Hypocrisy, Moonspell, Sepultura, Children Of Bodom, Breed 77... Really can't be bothered to list any more. Flipp

Personally I'd advise against... Only because I've used those spanners on my £80 BMX (from before I started trials) and they're really thin so they just make a little round section in the bolt. ie. They're too sharp and just cut through it But it WAS a cheap BMX so the bolts might have been pants. Other than that, it seems a pretty good deal - just don't be too rough with them; at that price they won't stand up to much. lol Flipp

I'd second that... If you feel as thought it's just your freewheel holding you back, and not the frame yet - get the freewheel. This means that you can be saving up for a frame while you're advancing in skill with your new freewheel. Then when you've got enough money for the frame, you'll be better and not have had to hold back waiting for a new freewheel ...My thoughts they are Flipp

But how do I use it?

Nope, no manual Any other help also appriceated... Flipp

Hey all, Just bought a new chain, but I'm a little confused... I've never had to buy a new chain before so forgive me if it's a stupid question .... But what the hell is this? A quick response would be handy in this issue as I wanna put it all together now... Cheers Flipp

What a guess Where did you buy/download from? Or is it that one track on their site? Flipp

Nice vid... Much better than me Was wondering though, what's the music? The voice sounds much like Anders Fridén? Of In Flames..? My guess would be Passenger or Ceremonial Oath? (Not heard either but I know he is/was in them) If it's either or even if not, please tell me where you got it (and who it is if not) Could be WAY off... lo Nice one... Flipp

**Slightly** off topic, but my cranks creak like that aswell. I've been told "put grease on the tapers", I haven't got any proper grease... Will dubs fix that aswell if spayed on the BB bit they go onto? Cheers, Flipp

I had the idea before that Koxx one came out... Don't know how old it is but I'd never seen it before I wanted to make mine It's not realistic I know, but the concept is awesome I think. The idea is that the frame is literaly being a Y. Toptube and downtube are combined, chain and seat stays are combined, so it just splits to go either side of rear wheel I know the tube's'd (that how it goes??) have to be really strong etc, but if there was like internal structuring in it... lol Would need to be much wider aswell... can't be bothered to make it all perfect... but you ge the drift... I dunno - but I'd want it. (Bit long aswell... Can't be bothered to change it ) Flipp

I'm not the most experianced trials rider atall, but personally - even if I was to want a stock bike - I wouldn't buy any of them. I myself have never heard of the site, but as I say, I'm not an expert on it.... yet. I would go with what everyone else tells other newbies and have a look on eBay... Better off getting something half decent second hand, rather than paying the same price for something first-hand that you could very well have have pulled out a cow's arse... That's my thoughts anyway... Flipp

Just ordered it Thanks for "reassurance" Flipp

Goin' for the cheapest remember? Will order it tomorrow or something. Thanks you two Flipp

No tire rubbing or anything? And what about the bolts? Absolutely deffinately? (Sorry for the interrogation - I'm sick of people saying something will fit and then it doesn't - or sending me the wrong f***ing PARTS!!! ((I ordered a wheelset once - 20 front and 19 rear, he send me 2 20s... )) so I always make sure now ) EDIT: ...Forgot to say thanks

Maybe I'm just stupid, but what are the bagties around the chainstays for? (Maybe they're not called bagties, maybe cableties? The things they hold young trees to posts with to make them grow straight ) I can only think it's to hold a crack together.... (not likely) or is it just to stop any chips being put in that Oh-so-WONDERFUL paint job? ....This isn't a criticism, I'm just curious... lol Flipp

As said, money is thin on the ground for me at the minute. I've just upgraded to a wider rim (Onza Hog) as my Magura wouldn't lock up on the pants rim I used off my old BMX :$ (Bought all the parts separately and built up from that) I've just realized though, that even on such a thin rim (29mm I think ) the frame flexed a bit with no booster. So on the 47mm (if I remember correctly), the frame would very well bend around a pint glass, no? I know most of you will be thinking "Oh it's only an extra tenner either way, don't be so tight..." - but frankly I don't care for those who think that! lol. To the point: I did a search and they said don't get the normal Echo booster as it wont fit. Will I be able to use this one? Echo Booster I run a 19" Onza Hog rim on a T-Pro frame. Four bolt mounts, and I'm using the Maxxis Creepy Crawler 2.5" tire. Don't know if all that info is neccasary, but I figured you lot are better off having to much than not enough, no? Tehehehe No need for such a big post really, but I've got nothing better to do Thanks for any help - Flipp Just remembered: Will the bolts fit aswell? 'Cause when I got my brake clamps (they came with EvoII clips), they had M6 bolts and the mounts are M5 (I think??) Don't want all that trouble again... My frame is sorted out and now fits the proper M5 bolts... so I really don't wanna strip them again... Money is of the essence... Now I AM done

Hey all, I've broke my foot This means no biking for a fair time. I figured if I can't bike, I'll make a video. Hey all, I've got no footage of me 'cause I'm crap So this is my idea: if you don't mind - and want to keep me happy rather than miserable - could you all send me clips of you biking? I'll make a T-F video lol Any song suggestions won't go amiss, though I've got a few ideas myself. Clips preferably not too low a quality, for obvious reasons, but also not to high 'cause my computer isn't quick either way. Also, when I say "clip" - I mean like - one move, not a mini video all strung together please. Send as many as you want, I'm not expecting that many people to reply (So if you've got more than one move you want, just make a list ) Doesn't matter how good you are, doesn't matter street or natural, just clips. Dunno if this has been done before - neither do I care... I want to make one too Cheers all, and know that I envy every single one of you - being that you can ride, and I can't... Lucky geese... Flipp EDIT: Give me a link over here, or send them to flipp1@hotmail.co.uk I've just done a search and there's another guy making one, I'm not trying to compete, I just want something to occupy my time 'till i can ride again...

A fine video My only fault would be (and it's not even REALLY a fault...) that you seem to hunch over the bars loads... I dunno about anyone else but i find it makes it harder... lol Straighten out - you might get higher/further 'Tis what I found anyway... And yeah - you're better than me so I'll shut up now :$

Poo...

AMEN TO THAT! lol I've only been moved on once because there's only two factories around here... I ventured down to the second one (never been to it with trials in mind before) the other day, and it's got thousands of pallets... So to stick with the theme, I'm gonna ask them if I can use them, so long as I put them back etc, but does anyone know a decent way to ask them? 'Cause I don't think going upto the reception and saying "Hey, I ride a trials bike. (Explains what trials is if they don't know) Can I use all your pallets to practice on?" is gonna go down too well. Much less WORK. lol Flipp

I thought it might - but I know nothing about making games or even things in 3D programs. The closest thing to it that I've got on the PC is paint lol ...Sorry

Yeah - well, that or make the man bigger hehhee

Yeah - I've got the exact same thing... I find that if you just tighten up the crank arm bolts, it goes away untill they loosen off again. I never completely stop it though 'cause the bolt is MEGA MEGA tight and I don't wanna strip it... Flipp

As far as I know, you can't have two users accessing Internet Explorer at the same time... My comp. does it too... I don't THINK there's a way around it, so you just gotta put up with it Flipp

Is "side hop" refering to: rear wheel to two wheels? rear wheel to rear wheel? or two wheels to two wheels? I've been riding about 1 month and so far: rear wheel to two wheels - 22/24" (two and a half breeze blocks, on side - not flat or end) rear wheel to rear wheel - 15" two wheels to two wheels - 6"? (about two bricks... lol) Is this about the normal for my time? I've never much tried two wheel take offs... and I'm not trying too look flash at the minute - I'm just trying to climb stuff It gives me a real sense of achievement hopping up a bench, climbing up the next bit, and then lurching off over the lower bit you climbed up I have no one to ride with at the minute, so I think I COULD be better, but a few friends are starting to get interested now Anyone around the LOUGHBOROUGH / LEICESTER type area; chuck us an email please: flipp1@hotmail.co.uk Cheers, Flipp
