  1. I get you... Maybe just Cross over section with a tick box to say 'yes barbs included' that ups the price to £6, or if you just want hose then don't tick the box and it comes to £3. For more complicated things where you may not need a shroud nut but want an olive, maybe either include the lot (olive and shrout nut) or have a tick box for shroud nut and olive.
  2. I'm slightly confused as to the whole brake line dealio with the barbs and that not included (or are they included?) Par ejemplo if I wanted a cross over, would it be £3 ready to fit onto my brake, or £3 for the hose then £3 for barbs (£1.50 each side)?

    Wtb Tyres

    Tiogas are terrible. The only semi decent-ish ones are the Yellow Kirin, Blue Dragon and White Tiger, but they're still pretty shite
  4. You can't normally, DON'T DO THIS TO YOUR HOPES YOU WILL GOOSE THEM. But Maguras/Shimanos/Avids/Anything that uses mineral oil will be fine. Especially for trials, on a dh bike it wouldn't be so great as water boils at a lower temp., but thats not an issue on most bikes.
  5. Yeah every month they have to release a video of at least 2.30 minutes long.
  6. In my eyes, its the be all and end all of trials. Good luck with your sponsorship quest
  7. I've been reliably informed by the Louise King (AKA Prawn) that the easiest way is to: Back off the outside pad adjustment 5mm hex key Take off top cap Dangle a 2mm allen key into the 5mm allen key hole to magically find a grub screw you didn't know was there Drip fluid into the master cylender to make sure its all topped up, then pull the lever, seal the caliper end with your finger, and let the lever out so it draws fluid in, keep doing that until it's all through. Pull and release the blade slowly. Or just do a full underwater bleed like on HS33s.
  8. I've got a circa 2000 Louise and a 2008 Louise here infront of me, the '08 one has a bleed screw, but the other (with a single piston silver caliper doesn't Unless the pad adjustment screw on the outer side doubles as the bleed bolt. Not sure.

    Wtb Tyres

    The rubber queen and the Der kaiser/Rain kings are totally different tyres. Rubber queens are light, use a less grippy black chili compound and have not so great puncture resistance. der kaisers/rain kings have amazing puncture resistance (better than maxxis) and amazing grip (better than maxxis). Michelin tyres weigh a ton, about 1350g for a Comp 16/24. These were awesome back in the day. pretty grippy and amazing puncture resistance.
  10. King steelset with massive cups?

    Stick to Maxxis, dual ply super tacky or slow reezay on the rear.
  12. Matey behind the cameras comments were pretty f**king annoying! Other than that cool vid, cheers.

    Hot Or Not?

    Maybe explain that she shouldn't have to be told how hot or not she is (apart from the fact it doesn't matter.....Much), I don't think posting on a biketrials forum is gonna give her any real answers. Sounds like complement fishing to me.
  14. I'm usually out, was hitting up Dartmoor today though - We usually ride Plymouth in the evenings or if the weather isn't great.
  15. Bashring, and don't use it is the best way.
  16. The SL rims (and whole product range in my mind, but thats for another day) are bullshit, stick with try-All or if you;re a basher, get some of the normal Echo rims.
  17. I'm gonna keep out of the whole discussion thing for the moment because I can see where both sides are coming from. Anyways, Dang I think the only thing you might wanna think about is what happens to the frame. The person at the end of the line might either try and keep it, sell it on for their profit, be reluctant to pass it onto another rider (so the cycle can continue) or whatever... Then people get into fights about how its unfair etc etc. Not sure what a solution would be, but just a heads up
  18. Good shit Tom, glad you like it!

    Kwik Bikes

    So its like this website just a bit less good?
  20. Maybe thats what I have? I can't remember. I think I stole them from Canary Wharf.
  21. My whole bike, I'm a cheap faggot.
  22. Pretty sure it wasn't malicious, he was trying to help you out. As a potential customer his advice should be heeded. He took the time to look through your website, CONSTRUCTIVELY criticise it and write it out in a post, even with suggestions on how you could improve it. You seem to be jumping at anyone who doesn't say good things about your website. If it was perfect then fair enough, but as has been pointed out, it is not. Not exactly a professional way to deal with criticism on a forum that could potentially give the majority of your custom. Aside from that, can I ask why I should buy from you guys and not Tartybikes?
  23. An Audi RS6 estate with full Milltek exhaust, a tough choice between the old and the new one though. My main reason being I can put my bike in the back and tow a boat.
