No, but flex is good, for 2 reasons: A : It 'gives' so they are less likely to just snap. Like if you get 2 twigs, one fresh and one dead, and try and snap them...The fresh one will bend, the dead one will snap 'cos it's brittle. B : It helps for moves such as front taps, front hooks, wheel swaps (Hoo-ha's) and drops to front wheel. Though obviously it has it's disadvantages... Erm, go Urbans.

Porn ones are best. So i've heard...

Haha, fair play *high five* I decided against putting a race plate on my trials bike, for fear of persecution. I did use the letters to write 'Woody' on my bikecycle though.

The Concretes - Really summery, nice and upbeat. The Gamits - Nice fast music, remeinds me of Evolve. Some DJ Format shizzle. Anything really, just fast and not too heavy = good. Blood brothers and Propagandhi are also good :(

:gay: Not a titter of laugher over here. Titter is funnier.

Your TPA is brokes. Mark has produced a thread on how to deal with it in the FAQ's. It is very common. Go team.

Does it make a difference if it's an ISO, Classic or Universal hub? It's for a Classic.

Stephen, speak to Adam (Tart) about the spokes, the size you want will be available from CRC. You just need to work out/get told the length. Adam is your man. Magura wise...The best thing to do is just have a look around the big companies (CRC, Bikedock, Tartybikes, Select bikes, Wiggle etc. etc.) and see what they can offer. It seems as though they mostly stock the '05 versions now, so you might have to stick with one of those. If you can get hold of a Maggie ut it's the wrong colour, you could always strip it... Good luck! Woody.

No, I've been riding for about 2.5 years, and have put a small, 2p size dent in one of my frames. I don't think it's worth my while buying one, though there should be a big market for people with Coustelliers and Koxx XTP's, as their downtubes are about as strong as that red Coke can in your hand.

I'm using some Troy Lee Designs Air '05 gloves, and they're the best gloves i've ever ridden in. They are falling apart at a VERY rapid rate though...

Maybe there's method in their madness? Hmmm...Top tube looks like a comfortable seat :blink: Anyways, i think it was in MBUK about 5 years ago. BT.com ROCKS MY SOCKS!

Haha, looking good in a strange way! As Dave said, it's definatly VERY random, but i kinda like it! Not so keen on the painted tyres/brakes/'Burns, but other than that it looks pretty cool! Nice one :S

Whoops... Oh wells, forks havn't snapped yet *touch wood*, therefore i don't care :ermm:

On my Koxx Levelboss the original owners had sprayed it, then stripped it, so i was left with a bare metal frame. I bought some brasso metal polish, rubbed away with that then polished the black Brasso crap off with a lint-free rag. It now shines :) I stripped my forks and put them through the same process, seems to work well. I havn't botherd to laquer (sp?) it, just polish it every ~ 4 months, comes up bright every time :ermm:

Brett M has a custom mount on his Peyto designed for a Gripshift shifter mounted on the seat tube (in a very similar way to the Leeson up there^) but with a gripshift.

The only person who i'd need on my team would be Craig Lee Scott. My team would beat everyone, i love him. .....I'd have: Matt Staples - Best rider i've ever ridden with, has a great style and has tought me mucho. Andy Chai - Still young but has loads of potential, again has tought me alot. The Chink - Gotta have him for his sexiness, again an up and coming ( (Y)" ) rider. Vincent Hermance - I want to suprise sex him. Marc Caisso - Amazing control for such a lil' man, amazing natural rider (and i like his frame). Then i'd have Martyn Ashton as team manager, he knows the trials industry inside out and would be able to reassure kids' mothers when they tell them that they want to start trials. Go team Woody!

I find one song thrown in here and there is fine, but listening to the whole album made me feel ever so slightly depressed.

I'm guessing those are Koxx Forxx as well? Judging by the apparent 160 caliper and 190 TA rotor... I wonder whether he'll design some forks to go with his Diamondback?

I seem to remember Ali C running them? As well as Akrigg at one stage.

Oh really? I have to say i prefere Hawziee's colour scheme! (Cough Andy T cough) I thought it looked like a Level Boss with a CNC'd seat cluster. How cerazee. Either way, i thought it looked really nice (Y)

It's a Hutchinson Dh (Y) Very nice pics there dude, some big gaps! Looks like a good place to ride in that weather as well!

I thought Mike bailed the practise gap (from the trailer to the stack of railway sleepers) in the practise, but his bike was fine till the end of the semi-final where he gapped from a stack of sleepers to another, his fork broke and he kinda face/chest planted into the stack. Meh, mere details! Anyways, it was pretty clear that Tom and Martin were in a lower 'league' to the others, they seemed to be struggling under the pressure. Andy and Nick rode awesomely (Y) Mike was also laying down some nice gaps and bits and bobs! On a side note, i've never seen Ali C ride before...And was totally impressed by his style and finesse, he rode super well, even when he was just messin around doing spins and practising some small moves. Everyone rode well, good luck to the Finalists tommorow! P.S Hawziee's bike looks amazing.

I'm liking very much, hopefully Onza won't hike the price up too much. Though if it comes out at around the same price as the T-Rex, maybe that will become obsolete? Who knows. Not i. Er, yeh, nice bit of reinforcement infront of the BB/bottom of downtube. The rear Seatstay cluster looks very XTP-ish, always good considering brakes are super solid even without a booster on Le Koxx's. I like the colour, and the understated graphics, though i'm not sure i'd like someone elses name on my bike :- Top job Onza, as Al Fel says, lets hope they bring out the carbon forks to go with the frame, i recon they'd be onto a winner :- Again, well done Onza!

They're pretty similar i believe - But if you're thinking of running on the rear, unless you're a smooooth rider or you run 60 PSI, i'd suggest getting a Dual Ply. ......But then you probably know that already (Y)
