  1. Tarty are the only ones who will give you a straight answer, minus whale just ring them in the first instance.
  2. Cool I liked that... Some good riding for sure
  3. ...Do you have a car? Do you have a dick? Do you know any car parks? You could be next!
  4. Get get a shorter stem on there, it does affect the geo / handling but for getting the basics and balance it'll be fine. Bar wise, I'd say just over shoulder width is about right. If he holds his hands out infront of him shoulder width apart with his thumbs in line with his shoulders (his hands are 'over'' shoulder width) I;d go for something like that. You want as wide as he can get away with, but if his forearms angle out because the bars are too wide thats not good. Oh, and I don't know what position his bars are in right now but if the rising section is in a vertical position rather than a rolled forward position it'll move his hands closer to his body by a couple cm's
  5. Is that in a shop or is that your garage? Some serious $$$ worth if thats your garage! Bike looks cool.
  6. I think Ali was gonna get this done? Soemthing to do with a 'sack' around the muscle that only lets it expand so far. But yeah, I think its true.
  7. Time to utilise that young son of yours.
  8. Cool got any vids of you riding?
  9. He is Cornish, this is probably the most exciting thing that has happened all week.
  10. Saw this earlier on Google Zeitgeist, sick!
  11. Um... That's a mod? Ot Pi is doing a whole lot of comp-style rear wheel hopping in that vid as opposed to manuals and flowy street moves. Either way I have no problem with either kind of riding, just saying trials didn't start out with people doing flowy street like they do today.
  12. Be careful with track sprockets - I had a dura ace one strip its self on the threads after 0.5 rides because it was too thin at the base.
  13. I don't agree with that bit - Trials originated from mods and practising for comps.
  14. If your magura is faily old and alwas been run on water try taking out the piston, sanding it down a tad and lubing the seal with a light oil, this helped give mine a lighter action. Then bled it with 100% (diluted / pre-mix) antifreeze and jobs a ruddy goodun.
  15. Why do they have to be so yellow? I mean whats wrong with normal colour shoes? Its like you're trying to attract attention to them. God dammit.
  16. And an impressive factoid to tell your mates down the pub!
  17. That used to be the case, but its sorta been watered down now it seems. I don't know why anyone would want it, its a horrible colour.
  18. Headsets do exist. Tried going to Hope direct?
  19. If it lost the chrome and stopped looking like an Onza T Rex it would look a lot better I feel...
  20. 1. Sit down on a chair 2. Stick your arms out infront of you in an imaginary bar-holding position 3. Imagine you are Baloo from Jungle Book trying to scratch your back on a tree. Use that booty of yours, too. Feel that side to side jiggle? Thats sorta what it feels like when you hop round on a tight circle.
  21. On a Skoda Octavia 1 Estate, where and what is the sensor that senses when the boot is open or shut? Mine is f**ked.
  22. She drank a bottle of white wine, a bottle of rum, a bottle of red wine AND a bottle of Champagne? Fair play to her.
  23. I remember Matt Staples getting one of the proto Inspireds back in... 2005? Something like that. "Nah, don't think that will take off to be honest" I said.
