Might run cooler or whatever, but it still looks like he's pissed in it.

Which is what I was thinking, so surely giving up a fiver now is better than iving up a fiver each week?

If you're not prepared to spare 20 mins out of your freetime, then you should be prepred to pay the consequences (i.e a fiver)?

Try-All from tarts has been good for me.

Learn how to wheelswap/wheel replace whatever you wanna call it. Hopping through sections is usually really important. Balance on uneven/slippery ground/rock is really important too. Some comps lend themselves to streety style (man made sections) some to really tech slippery things (like logs and wet banks) and some are a bit of both (like big rock sections)

Where do you work? Concentrate when taking mony? I dunno.

Definately gonna be the next Hermance.

Good job you're not arrogant eh.

Happens to me every day

Imo you should go to a Nike store (they have those other than in London right?), go in, say 'is there anywhere (maybe nikeshoelaces.co.uk? i dunno) i can buy they on the net?' And theres your answer imo.

Nice one Felix, cheers

f**k yeah. The News of the world have obviously never been to Croydon (don't blme 'em), this shit happens there every day.

I like the Try-all crank/Trialtech Ti bash/White Industries ENO freewheel combo myself

?

Definately going to be the next Hermance.

I dunno, but I've never been on a ride recently and thought 'damn, i wish I could sidehop that like he can'. So I guess the anser is 'big enough'.

ZING!

Dj Shadow - you can't go home again

Ahahah... Yeah, Tomturd is right. The bit thats further away from your hub will want the spokes tensioning (to pull it closer to the hub) and the opposite to the bits closer to the hub.

One of they in white

No i'm the worst rider you've ever seen, i wish i was smooth as buggery like you.

That pretty much sums up how I imagine the Liverpool area to be

I disagree with the majority of what the OP said. There are bound to be peaks and troughs in the number os trials riders in your area. As has been mentioned, its spring incase you hadn't noticed. The past few months have been full of shitty weather where no one wants to ride. There more more riders around yesterday than there has been for ages, that doesn't mean trials is becoming really popular in Plymouth, it means its the Easter holiday. New components are loads better than old components, only you're new to the sport so don't realise it. I agree with Sponge that sometimes the atmosphere on some of the bigger rides isn't the same as it used to be back in the day with riders like Stephen Morris, Tim Rodriguez, Staples, Chai when he was like 12 were around and we were all learning, developing our own style and moves.

Because 'nicks' keeps bumping them.
