Trials Punk

Muc off bike spray + water on top is the worst. And yes it does stain the hell out of the floor. Kettcars don't hanbrake. Terrible. Need slicks and a hydraulic hanbrake to get her round. Orbit egg wheeled scooters = gay.

Suspension on the rear is just a gimmic until you hit around £300. Charm is a nice bike, will agree. Bit more travel than the XC26*. I hope all you halfords employees are in with the art of lots of muc off on the warehouse floor. A few kids toys and of course a 12" here and there.

Seriously don't bother. It ain't worth the hassel.

You were doign what I was doing. No worries lol. Personally I love setting them up, if you take your time you can make it into a really good working bike. I think it would just be a waste to spend £100 extra. Unless she's thinking of serious riding thats going to need a bike to take the milage. Could always take out the bike care plan aye. Ahem halfrods people will know what I mean.

I think you should re think that. £150 would get you an Apollo XC26* or an Apollo Charm Now if you think of the basic XC26 at £99.99 yes that is a bag of shit. Look at the build of the XC26* for the money your getting a decent bike, with a gel seat which is great. Just ignore the names on the bikes. Don't go for a carrera incase she decides never to ride it again and you've got alot of moneys worth sitting there.

Another point. If you put too much cold air through a carb, you'll get what is known as carb freeze. Which belive me does not improve the performance of that engine. For carb its usually best to get a filter sitting at the back of the engine away from serious heat and cold.

Yes, quite a while to travel but as soon as you mention (Deep welsh voice) "I'm from the valleys" they'll scarper.

Hmm the whine of the SC is just amazing. Best to be heard minis and escorts. Mint. I'll never use my car radio again.

Not a good idea.

I thought brass was harder wearing that alloy. Hence why they use brass nipples to build wheels for longlife, alloy for lightness. May be just me.

I've got two kings. I've never snapped one axel. *Cough* Exept One *Cough* Looks like your having bad luck with them mate. You need a HD.

I just have images of half a bar left. Mint.

Nice frames. Good work. I used to draw up street frames at the end of my exams a few years back. Wasn't too bad. Might have a go again soon.

I've used Jim C's on my tank BMX for a while. Used them on the wet up trails. Never bothered me. Whole reason for the minimal grip (as thats what it is) is because of Jims tech feet all over the place style. He didn't fancy being stuck to the bike. Just down to preference. Gussests are more grippy.

Suppose as long as it works. Carry on. I wrecked my last hope. Just mashed the leaver to bits.

Dave. If you've taken a chunk out of the bars chances are they're going to snap. Alright for light use though. Because its woven even a sligh gouge affects strength quite a bit. Being woven is what keeps its strength. Be carefull boyo.

If you give it a whack you should expect something to happen. I'd replace it or at least bodge it in someway to stop it doing any more damage.

Don't tell me, ermmmm bottom bracket shell crack. Phew. Check for the obvious cracks mate and look had. Its worth knowing its there. Bloody frames. You tried checking the tension of all the spokes? See if they're loose they may flex easy.

You know what it sucks. People probably haven't noticed but I hardly post in the forum. (Just started now and then again) I used to be on here 24/7 but since working weekends on and off I find it hard to find any time between my gf, job and other crap. Recently I lost all enthusiasm. Now though after watching a few old bashguard vids. Some trials kings and various others I'm itching to go and ride, but its raining. All I want to do is play on kerbs.

Don't touch zebdis. Don't get me started again. They're still piled up in my shed put it that way. OHHH THE MEMORYS. Now wheres brant to cheer the day? Cough.

I'LL BITE YOUR LEGS OFF

Second page of doom is calling again.

Errr what frame?

I like it.

Well I bet your no fun in bed.
