  1. Not enough money in it i guess... With the advent of affordable disk brakes theres no real market for them anymore. Trials riders arn't a big enough market, i doubt Mr Shimano even knows what trials is. The cast must still be around somewhere though... (Y)
  2. Tartybikes Select bikes Cleanbikes Bikedock Ebay There's a few.. The Shimano XTR boosters are no longer made, but can be picked up in the for sale section on here, or on Ebay (Y)
  3. I'd go for the Boa is it's a new frame, better geometry.
  4. Looks really good :S Is the rim capable of holding a grind as well as a Mavic rim? Also, where did you get hold of the carbon rim tape? Looks wicked <_<
  5. Haha, that paint job looks awful! I'm glad soemone's actually starting to realise the potential of disk brakes...
  6. You can't really compare the likes of Neil Tunnicliffe and Hermance... They're in 2 completely different leagues. The 'lesser' riders will have jobs and/or college, like normal people. However people like Hermance will be doing training (both on the bike and in the gym), demo's and probably things like visiting the Koxx offices to sort stuff out. But other than the top 15 or so in the world, they're all just normal people who can ride a bike well. It's a hobby that they're good at.
  7. Hmm... I'm super relieved my dad go's to work at 7 in the morning, he was safely in his office when the shit hit the fan. His office is about 5 mins from Liverpool St. station. And my mum's stuck in Croydon. Glad they're all safe.. dunno how my dad's gonna get back home though.
  8. I love living hundreds of miles away from rocks.
  9. I think it's pretty good... If i'm in the area when i'm 23/24, i'm definatly going to go. If we can pull it off well, the world's perception of our ability to handle big events (possibly THE biggest?) will greatly improve. Which, in the long run, is good. The public transport will be greatly improved for the surrounding area, as will the sports facilities. It's being held in a relitively deprived area of London, so they're spending the money on an area that needs it. I'm sure it could be held in Manchester or Cardiff, but there wouldn't be as many foreign visiters because of the prestige London holds. Overall, it's good that we have it, as long as we can pull it off well. I'm also glad we beat the Frogs :-
  10. I try not to use it to help with arm pump. But i don't purposefully not use it to improve technique, just as a measure to lower arm pump problems. I agree about the front wheel spinny thing hehe.
  11. The one in all black is HAWT. That looks f**k all like my bestest friend btw. Nice car if you like that sort of thing. I'm a Landrover kinda man myself :turned:
  12. 2 standard steel ones bolted together.
  13. Stands for Fort Collins or Fort Collins Trials Crew or something along those lines :turned:
  14. I'm there for your London leg of the journey :blink: Go where you want, rather than all the way to northern Scotland 'cos someone said it was OK for trials...
  15. Awesome vid, that song is one of my favorites. TRA is right, at least the posts have flat tops and even surfaces. Those rocks turn to ice when they get rained on apparently. And it was meant as a compliment, not a discouragement. Anyways, immense vid from Kev, great filming and editing, and that music works super well with the vid.
  16. Possibly the best thread ever invented? I think so :blink:
  17. 2.5 if you have a Ronnie rim or wider 2.35 if you're running anything nay thinner
  18. OMGZZZZZZ u aint allowed 2 sell stuff ere m8!!!!!!11111111
  19. Sounds good actually (Y) Good price as well. And go faster stripe. Wasn't Ashton using one of those?
  20. Adam had a bad back and got married didn't he? Summat like that. I'm sure the northerners will know all...
  21. Heh, i'm only 16... Who cares? (Y)

  23. I'm suprised a 'cool' person hasn't mentioned tiddlywinks yet (Y) Yeh, instrument is good, job is even better. Free running, jogging, going to the gym etc.?
