  1. Fair play I guess you either hit it wrong or maybe something to do with rim tape / swarf / whatever.
  2. Where did you buy it from? If it was below ~£55 when new it'll be a shit one with shit sidewalls and compound.
  3. It's alllll in the hips. Shake your shit like you're on the twerk team.

    My rail gap

    Get on Dougster.
  5. Ok, alu ceramic, whatever. They made sprockets out of it too.
  6. I tried out some carbon ceramic rotors at Velo Follies in 2009 in Belgium (think they may have been the ones posted above) but they didn't work very well at all. Good modulation but thats it. Could well have been the set up, and think they were using a Magura Louise but anyways...
  7. They were flat out as far as I know. His boss organised the work, he didn't work for himself (although most do by the sounds of it). He was based in Somerset but worked all over the place. Are there many wind turbines up your way? Might be worth getting in touch with companies like EWT and see who they use for maintenance. There are hundreds down here in Devon/Cornwall.
  8. My boy Jahbless on here did it. Largely enjoyed the work but bossman was a cooont. Worked on nuclear power stations and bridges mainly, along with a few smaller contracts.
  9. My pro pads went to shit when there was any moisture around. Lacked hold and made a horrible noise. Numerous other people found this too (there is a topic somewhere, have a search). Put standard pads back on and all was fine again.

    Bookface.

    Its a b*****d when you think you've found a decent girl, facebook stalk her and find out shes a fanny. Or that could be a good thing, either way.
  11. I shoved all my clothes in my bike box and just had that as my check in bag. Didn't bat an eyelid, just took it to oversize and jobs a good un.
  12. Not a half link. Get a KMC Z610HX. Chainreaction do them, or see if Tarty will price match CRC.
  13. Westbeach has some pretty good sales on this time of year on last years kit, check the website.
  14. Degrease your rim if you don't wanna grind bur honestly you'd be hard pushed to f**k it up
  15. Awesome, how did you like Plymouth?
  16. Got nothing against Vince, but: 1: Andy T's vids show him drinking for pretty much the first time... Going nuts and acting like a frog lol. Like that was the first time he drunk because his dad has always ruled with an iron fist and YOU MUST NOT HAVE FUN. 2: Boxing shorts. 3: Koxx tattoo. Just seems (like the cousts) he has always just been 100% focussed on trials which, obviously, has served them very well in the trials world and fair play to them, but as people I;d rather go for a drink with Aurel or Kenny. I have had breakfast with vince and he seemed fine but I hope you get what I mean? Personal preference I guess
  17. Good on him. He seems the most "normal" out of the trailbeys, alongside Kenny. Hope he continues to do well because he is a pretty good ambassador for the sport.

    North Korea

    North Korea is best Korea.
  19. No I went through the trouble (but zero cost) to change to ti bolts to look like a baller.
  20. Thats a pretty long stem for a +55 imo, so having the bars rolled back should make it feel better to pull up, like Adam said. As its a long stem, it will make it pretty easy on the backwheel anyway so wouldn't worry about rear wheel performance. I reckon a long stem plus rolled back bars = good or a slightly shorter (127mm with quite a few stackers for example) stem with bars rolled forward a bit more = good.
  21. It's a Trialtech Race splined sprocket - The Neon hub is splined and the big spanner-looking thing is the lockring to keep the sprocket tight. I got fed up of threads on hubs. I cracked the original neon sprocket and tarty replaced it with this TT one. All has been workign well for a year or so now
  22. I lubed mine with a light oil. If you have any mineral oil I guess that would work too. Anything other than DOT or grease I'd imagine is fine.
  23. Myself and a mate were there on Saturday Nice vid Rich
