The spacers and cassette look pimp, as do the HS33 caps. I wouldn't trust those forks at all! Or that rotor for that matter, but then again i've never tried it and could be the most awesome thing EVAR. Stem cap looks pretty poor to be honest, looks really cheap. P.S: Brembo brakes = Da best!!111

Allo, Just wondering if anyone has got any offers through the post about the Bike Show (two for one, buy 4 get 5th free etc. ), as last year my dad I got different offers, mine being the better one. On the website it says 'Enter Discount code here' or something, wondering if anyone's got their offers through the post yet or not? Cheers, Woody.

Loads through riding, all the regulars in London, met my best mate through trials, and theres only been one or two people who ride trials who i've disliked. The vast majority of riders are a uber-sound bunch (Y) Speak to alot of peeps on MSN who i've met through the forum, i think Ad's the only person who i've arranged to ride with through the forum. But that's mainly due to the fact that i've met everyone else who rides in the south in London! Go TF go!

Bonz cranks look 385485 times better than the Woodmans. There's also a good chance they'll work 385485 times better than the Woodmans!

Yeh but the price or materials/your labour cost isn't the thing that cost the monies, it's the postage. And what if you rip your tyre on a rock? You have to send it back to you again, thats another ~£15 for postage + your costs.

I have no idea on his specific bike, but it might be Nokon stuff?

Ha ha that vid is HARDCORE! He really doesn't like Kenda tyres does he. I'm kinda suprised no ones thought of this before, it's been used in other areas of mountain biking for years (Y) Mike, does this mean that every time you want to change your tyre you'd have to send it to you to get it fitted? 'Cos postage on a wheel and tyre isn't cheap...

Would the hosing fit into the 'lil ferruls they fit into? They may well be smoother, though as they wern't designed to take a cable the smoothness may not be suited to metal, but suited more to a fluid. Also i recon there'd be alot of compression as they're not as stiff as normal cabling. Apparently mech cabling is stiffer than brake cabling so that might be worth a try at some point. Good idea though (Y) EDIT: The Mag hosing is alot wider in diameter compared to the standard cabling. So the inner cable would have more freedom inside the hose, but i'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing really?

And are not affected at all by water. Grinds work in wet conditions, but with a disc it has no adverse affects whatsoever. Brett - People don't like it 'cos it doesn't say 'Magura' on it. (Y)

Looks pretty perfect to me! I wouldn't change anything to be honest, nice to see you've made custom changes for a reason, not just to be different or whatever. Love the headtube design, and the rear disk mount. Should look even better with the custom forks!

Thanks very much Mr Mark (Y)

Cheers peeps... I've downloaded the file, but you need to unzip it or something (i'm REALLY shite with computers) and the unzipping software it suggests costs £11.something. And thats gay. Back to le drawing board...

Good evening, when i try to start Word up on the ol' PC, it comes up with an error saying: A required .DLL file MS097.DLL was not found It says this whether i try to get to it from the main menu or through my saved documents. I've just run Ad-Aware and it still does it. I can't remember deleting anything Word-related, and it means i can't do any work... Sooooo..... Any ideas? I'm in need! Cheers, Woody :(

It's odd that a 2.5 won't fit? I'm runing a 2.5 Minion on my Koxx 1065 on an Onza Ronnie rim and it's got loads of room... How odd. But as long as it's from the Maxxis dual ply range you can't go far wrong.

Those Toaster opedals have a mahoosive body so theres not too much grip - helps jumpers adjust their positions whilst in the air or something. Anyway... so they're not very grippy 'cos the pins are so spread out and the pedals are massive. So in summary, strong but not very grippy.

Mine's a pic of a Marmot or 2. Like beavers, but better. As for the words underneath...Erm not sure. I thought of it once and havn't changed it. Boooooring.....

I have no idea why i ride trials really... I just do. If i lived in a different place then i think i'd be doing downhill or 4X still. I agree with what Mark said, you can do it when, where and how you like, and you can be as intense or as lazy about it as you like, you don't have to worry about the rest of the team letting you down or visa versa. It's quite a social sport as well, sitting down and talking watching others ride or whatever. Although having said that you can just pop out on your own for a bit and *here comes the cliche bit* forget about all your problems and have a bit of 'alone time'. I often find i'm alot happier and have a clearer mind after going for a ride. Also, once i've been out on my bike, doesn't matter how long or how well i rode, it makes me feel happier that i've been out, kinda like a relief that i've been out. Dammit, i'm addicted! Keeps you fit as well i spose... But thats more of a bonus. Happy riding!

Not sure i can make it... However, yesterday i was riding the rock breakwater things along the beach between Shoreham and Worthing..Lancing? Along by the Widewater Lagoon. That was really good, the rocks there are pretty easy but for a natural novice like myself they were excellent! I'm sure Worthing's better though.

The Killers are my favorite out of those lot, followed by Snow Patrol followed by Keane. Also liking Franz Ferdinand and the one Willy Mason song i've heard ('oxygen') is wickedy wick.

I've honestly never measured! I'll measure the gap between the 2 pallets sometime this week, thats pretty much as big as i can go. I can put my bike in there and it's wider than the widest part of my bike (axle level) but i have no idea what that is! EDIT: Measured the pallets, and they're about 2 inches under 8'. Might be able to go a bit bigger though, i'll give it a go at the weekend (N)
