  1. That was damn funny...just him beaning it round that grumpy old shite of a security guard... yeh he was damn funny...just mouthed off at the staff in our defense...funny shizzz Met some cool people on the ride though, got some pretty good footage Drei's gap across the pillars was nuts, So was meeks rolling gap ( you'll know which one im talking about if you saw it ) riding about 5 miles from paddington to the london eye....and back again 18 hour day realising the one decent shot of the day i did, my mate forgot to press record Laughing at the guy i went up with, when he had to get up at 6.30 this morning for work.... 4.5 hours sleep seeing walker nearly impale himself with a mega size stake watching danny mac from afar thinking i'd had my bag nicked with my mates £1000 camera in it Overall a pretty sweet day, didn;t get that much riding, or filming for that matter, done....but was well worth the journey i reckon. Personal thanks goes out to Meek for publicising such an epic ride
  2. Right, im riding from paddington to waterloo....my train gets in at 11.30...so if anyone's going on the same route at the same-ish time, drop me a text or a call and ill ride with you...
  3. and we're stuck with no seats to sit down on!....the 24" cru'll be alright
  4. ali's realised the way forward..... none of this cable bollox on the rear
  5. you big ghey Ive got my hd camera for the ride, 4 batteries, halogen light and night mode.......so its on!
  6. ideal thats good to hear, the new rotor has been used, so its basically just a really good condition one... Right, hopefull yill have my epic brake back in time for london ride
  7. ideal, thansk psycholist....so a few hard stops should get it working okay then?
  8. 1 brown, 1 plaz 1 deore disk brake (160) that works fine if you put new pads in it! and for me: Maggie 04, rb lever blade, echo cnc clamps, braided crossover, rb 2 bolt booster, zenith frame Avid bb7 203mm, standard pads, sd7 lever , xt cable
  9. Glad you liked them going to try and properly start selling these at the start of summer / spring due to the drier conditions.
  10. Right, bit of a problem has cropped up... Got an old "n" avid bb7 caliper with a 203 rotor, standard avid pads, sd7 lever ...was impressed when i got it, and considered changing to a 185 rotor because i thought the 203 was overkill Now, 2 months on, the bite has just disappeared, along with all the hold . It won't even completely lock on 3ft gaps to front ( literally falling onto the front wheel, with a tiny kick ), so my conclusion is it must be contaminated... Ive got a brand new rotor to put on it, so that's fine, and some brand new pads, so that should sort it out... However, im trying to rest at the moment and ive only got tomorrow to bed them in really, is this possible in one day? Would road be usage be more effective for this? How long brake dragging would be needed to bed these in? I've got a 3 mile ( half downhill ) ride to the nearest town, would this be enough to bed them in? Also, should i use water to help bed these in? The setup isn't 100% i wouldn't say, although i blame this on the wonky angle the pads are worn at...although they were at this angle when they worked amazingly, so im going to assume this wasn't it.... Any ideas / tips / setup tips would all be appreciated Thanks in advance, Alex
  11. dude, you've put so much time into this event, what with organising it and what not....seriously i commend you for this, probably one of the biggest gatherings of trials riders in the world, pretty much down to you! im gonna poersonally come and find you in london edit: i get in at 12ish at weterloo with a mate,( due to ghey trains ) fancy saving a map for me?
  12. nice is an understatement, looks like a ufo! Ridiculously smoothed welds?
  13. er...yes if you use the correct screw on cog, and it has enough of an offset for the chain to fit
  14. ill definitely have at least one pair off you at london
  15. ive been up exeter a couple of times, theres plenty of riders a bit further south, so if you cooould come down to maybe plymouth way you'd meet a fair few riders
  16. It does make a difference to your riding....but, it doesnt mean youre instantly going to be loads better
  17. nicely done man, better than the last vid i reckon...some classs stuff in there, those truro shots do look pretty good Like that shot with you leaning on the bike before the drop we tried to film wondered what you were doing sitting there when i got on the train....turns out it was your intro definitely ride falmouth, and whealmill is it? after london though
  18. ill be out med......drop me a text when you get in to truro
  19. can't tap, can't really sidehop
  20. ew...shite colour scheme, especially with the white tyres...like the frame though
  21. not the best is it? "continues a scanner, I surkiffe " what the hell does that mean ? apparently, you wrote it...
  22. here's a translated version Translated site
