  1. They're not really new, they're a different compound to the old Koxx Browns. I've had them on my Yaabaa since I've owned it.
  2. Number 36 - Tom Delauro. You're in for a treat guys and girls!
  3. Nothing... Nothing at all. Its just rather chilly.
  4. They would have done a sharp light grind. Either way, it doesn't really matter. If your brake is slipping, regrind. If that makes it better then thats cool, if not look at changing pad/grind style/riding style/pad set up etc. You only need to regrind once your brake is no longer as good as it was, theres no set time limit on this.
  5. Depends on: Rim Type of grind Pads Riding style Frequency of riding Some rims are harder and hold grinds better than others. Deep grinds will last longer. Soft pads won't wear down the grind as quick as harder ones. If you manual with your brake on alot, it'll wear down very quickly. If you ride every day it could only last a couple of weeks if that, if you ride once a year it could last 4 years, who knows.
  6. Tell them all your trials riding friends will laugh at you if you don't have the 'in' components on your bike.
  7. Ok so say i need to chop some chicken in my kitchen. If you're vegetarian, maybe tofu. You've just realised your good old faithful knife isn't what it once was. its done. Past its useful life. You've got a bit of money in your pocket. Sure, you could buy some peanuts or coffee. But to get through that tesco Value chicken thigh meat you've purchased, you're gonna need a tool for the job. So you leave your little house after washing your hands of any meat/tofu juice. Off to your local homeware shop. You find the knife for you. This is the one, the daddy dawg. You use your hard-earned cash to buy it. Unfortunately, its useless because you can't leave the shop with it on your person because you don't have a knife license. What are you meant to do?

    Whats the plan now JT? Live over there with her now you can work above board and all that?
  9. haha did you weigh it before it died? Try-all is probably lighter!
  10. This is for trials right? Get a Maxxis single ply 2.35 super tacky, seriously. You don't want a wide, heavy tyre up front for no reason, will make learning a lot harder!

    Sunday Practice!

    Well good, looks like loads of fun!
  12. Good to see us Brits bringing up the rear in Junior haha, holy shit I made some silly mistakes. Oh well, all fun and games.
  13. Solid is a bit of a loose statement though isn't it, as someone else said, what if there was new evidence after the triggers been pulled, even though beforehand the evidence looked 'solid'? I agree with manual labour style work, like community service but more tightly controlled. What about people who are in fact reformed by their experience? Take londons biggest gangsters, The Krays, for example. One of them now actively tries to help people with problems after he found God whist in prison (what was God doing in prison i hear you ask). If he was killed, he wouldn't have helped the hundreds of people that are now better humans wondering round on the earth making it better for us. Which is the whole point, yes?
  14. Paint by numbers. Next question.
  15. Well clearly not, but that doesn't mean you have to kill them. What everyone seems to be saying is that life should mean life, with no luxuries in jail, etc. If the government murdered your relitive or friend because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time and got found guilty for something they didnt do, would you be happy?

    Whey, finally a US citizen!
  17. Cheers dude! Edit: where they gone
  18. Yep, you want as little weight as possible out front. Look at anyone who rides a bike well, and they'll be running a 2.0 - 2.35 tyre up front. most use a Try-All stiky or Maxxis 2.35 single ply super tacky. These offer good grip, enough puncture protection, light weight, fairly big carcass to aid grip and are cheaper than the Comp 32.

    Halp!

    Try setting them up really close to the rim so theres not much room for it to actually catch and twist out?
  20. Seriously, don't get that tyre or anything over a 2.35 for the front. That goes for trials especially, but also mtbs.
  21. It'll go on your rim, but: A : Doubt it will go through your frame B: That probably weighs near on 2kg C :Theres no need for something that wide
  22. We went Dover - Dunkirk with Norfolk line ferries, norfolkline.com
