    Stolen Seat!

    Come on guys, they're clearly talking about the lack of a Magura
  2. Not ridden a new Adamant. I ride a Hifi and its been great so far, taps/ups are a bit harder due to higher BB, but other than that eveything else seems easier. However, Ali C knows his shit, and therefore i recommend a T-Bird
  3. Dece... Whack a grind on that rear rim

    Koxx

    What size are you talking about? Mod or stock? The stocks are one of the strongest frames around, mine's still going strong after 3+ years.
  6. Isn't that the Plazmatic proto frame or summat? Ah Starbike Hydraulic V's!
  7. Glen, get Tart to build the wheel up for you. It'll be 10X as good as Deens Garage and its around £10 last time i checked. I'd do it for you if it was a stock wheel!
  8. No one did ANYTHING to front, until that Coust vid came out 3 or so years after we all started riding. Tucking was not neccesary on sidehops, you just used pure beef to get the bike up there. You could buy all of your bike parts from a normal bike shop. You wouldn't get asked silly questions about your bike as it had a seat and didn't have holes in the rims. You thought becoming a professional trials rider was a viable option. You dreamt of being sponsored and once you were, your riding career could go no further. Everyone rode 26" wheels.

    Kooxboox

    If it gets produced, Koxx will sell the shit out of it, fact.
  10. At home its kept in the garage. The garage has a door to the kitchen, then the only other way in is through the double electric door. At uni its in a brick building with a lock, then its locked to the bikestand which is bolted to the floor.
  11. You can make a headset press out of washers, nuts and threaded bar. Or use a vice and 2 bits of wood. Or use a mallet. Whichever way you do it, take it slow, and make sure it goes in straight or you risk flairing the headtube.
  12. Alex, I think you'd better take the "Woody" sticker off so people don't get confused I like! It's nice.... And to Mat Smith, Alex's King wheel is coming soon apparently, and the HIFI frame is keeping all my components from falling off onto the floor. It rides pretty okay.
  13. I think your point about 'buy painted, not anodized' point may well be true in that painting is better for the environment, but trials parts are tiny compared to the industrial uses for anodizing. If all trials parts were painted and not anodized, then we checked the readings for global change, I'm pretty sure the results would be so small they would not show up. I think this would be interesting if trials was as big as football, then the numbers involved would be much larger. On a person to person basis, its probably a pretty damaging sport compared to other sports. However, its so small it barely makes a difference. There must be alot of old, good quality metal floating around from ex-frames that would be good to recycle. On a side note, are trains as environmentally friendly as cars? Consider the amount of fuel needed to be burnt to produce the electricity they need? Who knows. EDIT: Spunkey_money_boy, have you been reading a Howies catalogue by any chance?

    They snapped around the massive holes Dominique cut in the toptubes.
  15. Is it my eyes being silly, or are they decent forks? I.e Marzocchi somethings.... The rest of the bike is top notch
  16. If you buy a 5 arm spider, you CAN fit another bash. For example a DMR Ringthing/Blackspire Granny God/Filthy Ard Guard. Why you would want to, i'm not sure... But you can.
  17. Being the first ever to do some bollard move in my town. Outriding a MAD team rider (Not sure if that counts as an achievement as such...) Doing a rolling gap in London first time and Boon took 2 go's lol Being the first in our group to do a drop off (about 7 foot) in our town and keeping the record for a good year or so. The biggest 'hell yes Napoleon!' moment was doing this big-ish dirtjump near me back in the day. Considering i'm a trials rider it was pretty big!
  18. He seems like a genuinely nice bloke haha... Wicked vid, liked the relaxed music and style Cheeky little appearances from Felix in there too.
  19. Freestyler by the Bombfunk Mc's... I have it on tape at home somewhere
  20. Yeh me posting it did little to help.. Anyways, looks largely f**ked, new frame time!
