He seems sketchy as f**k, big moves though.

Tried some flats once after being on risers for years, needless to say they felt terrible. I think the poll results give you the right answer

Is it these ones? I'm not sure where he got M2 from, but they're the earlier versions of the Hope Mono Trial to which everyone is referring. They'll be good, get them.

When I ran a disk back in the day I never caught it at all. The only way I can think you'd catch it is sidehopping onto a rail/particularly thin object that would force you to be exactly parrallel with it.

Can I just ask what you're gonna offer to us that isn't already there? In its most simple form, you just need a canister with a valve on the end. This is also the cheapest, easiest to use, lightest and most compact. This can b found here. The only thing lacking is a digital or otherwise pressure readout.

DX-32/undrilled Ronnie and learn to ride smoothly.

Wonder if they've sorted out the frankly appauling dropouts.

25-30mm with shorter chainstays, 30-40mm with longer chainstays.

Looks like a good deal for £250, what frame is it?

You can throw your bike pretty well.

Tripods is pretty much my favorite/most watched vid of all time, cheers.

Damn

I'll be the first to admit photography is not my thing. However, I'm 99.6% sure I could take better photographs than you've put up as examples. The riding ones I'll ignore for now because I understand he may not be a 'sports photographer'. The pics of the Ferraris though... I mean come on. Taken from eye level, the F430 is half covered in shadow, generally just pretty unimaginative and boring. If I had to give a positive comment, erm... He has a fisheye lens which means he has more equipment than me.

Horrible, horrible stickers.

The whole conversation has nothing to do with the words old or skool. He was saying its arrogant of you to keep name dropping Dolan and listing his achievements, as if this makes your point any more valid and make everyone else feel belittled by your superior friends in 'high' places.

I'm not sure you understand.

Just gotta take it on the chin. They're not fond of us British folk unless you make a good impression. The standard of spelling/grammar and fellowship is alot better there than it is on certain other forums...

Maybe a similar reaction to hitting a funny bone, just not quite so funny?

I've gone a bit wheezy after doing my shin in. I'm pretty sure it was a badboy combo of heat (summer, remember that?), lack of sugar and water (you know when your vision goes a bit and legs go wobbly) and the fact I have a phobia of blood. I have also fainted once in my life, and it was about 4 months ago, embarrasingly in a room full of people at uni during a first aid course. No idea what caused that, possibly being cooped up in an air-less room for a hours. Maybe yours was to do with the heat in Italy? If it happens again I'd go see El Doctoro.

You're correct in what you're saying, yeah Its a worthwhile upgrade to a Tensile or similar freewheel as a matter of course, because unbranded freewheels have a tendency to be death traps when it comes to trials. The extra enagements will make a difference even at your stage in the game, and will give you confidence it won't skip or explode on you.

The geometry is slightly off (bb is too high and chainstays are too short) but they're good, solid frames otherwise.

Unfortunately for you, the man you want to get in touch with is FatPants. And Pocket Rocket lives nearby too, if he rides?

I'm gonna say get a Shimano XTR. Firstly, I had an SD7 and the lever pivot shat itself meaning it went up and down about 1.5cm each way. I changed it to an XTR and it improved the feel (more solid) and power (more) of the BB7.

Well if you sold it you'd be lucky to get about £300-£400 for the full bike.

Sounds like you've stripped the ratchet, I've done it twice Send the hub back to Hope alone (less postage than the wheel and you'll need to rebuild it anyway) with a letter as Mowgli said, and they should send you a new 'un back
