  1. im in the same boat unfortunately ... ive been looking for ages for a freewrae video editor, download.com, tucows, softpedia...and i cant find one that hasnt got some kind of stupid restriction on ...or isnt just plain rubbish!
  2. erm...ive always wnated to ride at my college, but you get booted off straight away
  3. most things will suit for a front hub to be honest, i think pretty much as light as possible really, the planet -x hub ^^ looks pretty good value for the money
  4. if you want a £400 stock, either buy something second hand off here...or look at the new onza range...especially at the coust / rex copy ones
  5. i personally prefer a rear magura....but zermatts disk is awesome, the only real con as i see it is the vulnerability and initial outlay to get a good setup

    Bigman Shed MK2

    i wish i had somewhere like that to ride!
  7. onza woodstock? zebdi? pashley? levelboss 1065...theres quite a few
  8. the sd7 levers i think are pretty much the best, i dont think the single digit sl levers are any better performance wise to be honest
  9. clean the rim with white spirit, and sand your pads down a wee bit in case either is/was contaminated
  10. they are very similar to be honest...but id always go for an onza over the shogun ( as falcon cycles hardly have the best reputation )
  11. zoo pads are supposed to work pretty well on a smooth rim...im using koxx browns at the moment as a front brake, as i do stoppies...buts its really personal preference; i think koolstops work the best
  12. its gone: silver, black, white soo....next i think will be real colours, green, blue orange etc...we havent had trials bikes done in "proper" colours for a long while
  13. hhmm..i trust the brand of mr.muscle you'll have to give me a free sample
  14. looks fit there...but after haviing a ride on it ive realised i really dont like front ends that low!...mind you, i have got 2cm of stackers on mine with a 30* stem, which is a bit of overkill for a +35mm bb rise bike! Yours is a beast on the back wheel though
  15. god knows...maybe he wnats a more streety rig? Seems like abit of a downgrade to me though
  16. search works wonders when you use it, eh? http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26 http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....mp;hl=base+ta26
  17. why thankyou! If anyone wants stuff de-anodised and cant be bothered...drop me a pm and ill do it for a reasonable price!
  18. looks pretty nice in white...bikes always do, not too into the uber low front end though...always feels like im picking the front end up by the fork legs!
  19. the chances are there'll be somewhere selling the titanium axles... They look pretty pimp and dont weigh much...but seem a lot of money for not that much weight loss if im honest!
  20. looks lovely, beauty paint job as well

    My Bike

    nice...i like it, oldskools the way forwards!
  22. it just doesnt make sense bleeding an hs33 with anything other than water to be honest...its free, easy to get hold of, only reportedly does a small amount of easily rectifiable damage to said hydraulic brake, it gives a lighter lever feel, no need to worry if your brake starts leaking-water wont corrode paintwork or dissolve grease
  23. interesting idea...though i doubt it'd take off to be honest
  24. id try decontaminating the pads and rotor: just boil them in water for a while then wipe all the gunky stuff that comes off them...then sand both pads and rotor to get the last of any contaminants off
  25. theres loads of "senior" riders on here....the oldest are around mid 40's so you're hardly old compared....i cant really see anyone being too old to do trials though!
