Didn't you ask this the other day?

If theres no star fangled nut and no compression topcap you're not preloading the headset. You'll need a special compression topcap (like Hope Head doctor) that takes place of the star fangled nut.

Hopefully she won't wear it out.

Those are more for jumping reds / making sure you're not stopped in the yellow hashing i believe?

Probably a snapped spring / pawl unless the outer ring has snapped in half. Tarty have sorted mine out before, might be worth seeing if they can still do something about it. To be fair 6 months is a fair while for a bit of kit that gets so much shit. Sucks though

Not really ashamed but this is a badman track:

Oh! Haha, nice one Brad!

Trials takes time, no easy way you just gotta get practising. How long have you been riding? if under about 4 years you won't have it yet.

We've all done embarrasing shit in the past but you gotta admit that vid is funny as f**k.

Says the doctor of aerodynamics (?)

Lots of rocks/boulders.

Y'all would take 100k/year over a mill? Why? Interest mean nothing?

Wut. Ben: Yeah I'd imagine it could affect it, the leverage increases as they are turned forward.

Cool, think it shows theres no real 'mystery' to comps that some people think there is... Turn up, hand card in, ride, get back card.

Well you could (from memory its a curved but of tube that goes under the frame as opposed to a bolt on one?) but I'm sure you could save weight more elsewhere.

A huge off topic forum.

I'm a geotechnical engineer, work with Atkins a fair bit. Its pretty good... Atkins seem to be a good company to work for, depends on which office you're in of course. Starting to see an upturn in work load, a lot of geotech engineers were laid off but we're flat out now.

Checked the page to look at his missus but the link is broken...

Word, also I've stripped a couple of crank threads (what a powerhouse eh), this should solve that.

Just to let you know, the london to brighton bike ride is on so will probs be busy as hell.

- GT Talera (gave away) - Azonic DS1 (still have it) - Giant Trials Team (sold) - Koxx Levelboss 1085 (swapped for Echo) - Echo HIFI (sold) - Czar '07 (snapped) - Yaabaa 1499 (snapped) - Echo Control '09 (snapped) - Koxx Purple Sky (snapped) - Echo Pure (snapped) - Echo Pure SL (current)

Snappy snap snap from what I remember.

Every day is a holiday when you live in Devon.

Look smart, bring lunch, try to balance being loud and noticed with not being a willy, try and be nice to your fellow interviewees dont just sit in a corner and not talk to anyone (may not apply to you, but you are a trials rider so 99% of being socially awk), have fun!
