that NBR dude

No.... 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+(8x9) = 100 Complete this pattern... O..T..T..F..F..?..?..?..?

Probably a really old and easy one but was sat working his out for agggggges: You throw away the outside. You cook the inside. You eat the outside. You throw away the inside. What am I? ------------------------- With the numbers 123456789, make them add up to 100. They must stay in the same order. You can use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Remember, they have to stay in the same order !!! ------------------------- What 10 letter word can be spelled using only the letters on the top row of a standard keyboard?

I dont know really, and this may sound really strange and stupid, but I find wider bars make a bike feel more sluggish, bulky and difficult to move around. With narrow bars, my bike feels a lot more flicky and I can move around the bike a lot easier and it just makes the bike feel a bit nicer.

Fully agree with that! I used to run huge wide bars, and since using Montys ti and Easton EA50s, narrower bars actually feel loads nicer

Twas indeed, there were a load of european riders there yesterday as well as brits.

Having seen this dude ride at hook woods yesterday, hes actually a lot smoother than that vid makes him out to be

1) Classic Works Mini Cooper S "33 EJB" replica 2) Ariel Atom or Lotus 7 3) Pagani Zonda F 4) Lancia Delta Intergrale rally replica 5) Mk1 Ford Escort Mexico

give me a shout over msn dude, Chris got it

If you are planning on making them stickers, why not make them various colours and have the sticker sheet seperate, like Koxx frames? That way people can customise their Limey, and have more personality to them. Then you could sell the frame in Black or White, and people can mix and match.

I wont be able to get there today, but send my regards to family and friends

Its a really admirable thing that you are taking ideas on board and not just going with your initial instincts. Most manufacturers just show a picture then distribute it. Just shows that you care a bit more about the consumer, and what they want to buy.

If you are into your manuals and spins and generally more all round fun riding, definitely go for the Zoot, you wont regret it

Yea Dan that was wicked. The music really showed the chilled out environment. Shame I didnt have a working bike on me, would have been fun to ride Bransgore again.

Did that little outburst make your e-penis feel larger? Next time, pick on someone who hasnt been riding longer than you've been alive

I cant work out how people manage to bend rotors that easily? Unless you're trying to sidehop to axel stall or something I cant understand it

Depends on what style of riding you want to do. The Zoot and other 24" bikes tend to sway more to the streety spinny style compared to other bikes. They are still good for riding "trials" on but not quite to the same standard as some other more trials specific frames

Yeah I reckon the white and gray/black, with the gold detailing around the text ect, would look rather nice

That... I like

Should have called it the Onza Hotrod Guess its one of those things you'd have to see it in the flesh ideally, to see how the gold will look. Sometimes a bit of gold can look good, and yet others can look shocking and too over the top. Time will tell Design wise though, really like it, beats plain block colours.

I think the black and gold might have a slightly tacky took too it, going by the old style Onza T-rex which adopted a simialr scheme with the gold flames. A bolder black and yellow might have a nicer look to it,

I know the Hope Pro2 is a little/lot out of your price range, but its definitely one of the main contenders in quality hubs that will survive trials abuse. Its always worth having a look round the web at other non-trialsy shops and see if you can find a Hope XC or a mono for a reasonable price. Places like Wiggle and CRC are always worth a check and you might be able to get an older model for cheap. They arent quite as good as the Pro2 and have fewer engagements, but they are still strong reliable hubs that will put up with plenty of abuse from trials. Failing that, have a ponder through the for sale section, Im pretty sure you can find some bargain rear wheels/hubs in there for not a lot more than those hubs you linked.

On the several frames I've had with rear discs, I cant say I've ever caught it on a sidehop. If you did, it wouldn't be like you landing dead stright on top of it, it would be at an angle, so you are only going to catch it slightly, and they are pretty strong, so you can easily straighten it out if it ever did happen. The only way I could see you doing more damage is riding of rocks and stuff, where your wheel would slip between them, but again you would have to land pretty straight on the rotor. I think you'll be pretty safe

Looks cool, something different. Still think you should do a mod version of Scotts though Joe, even just one for me

Mike, what about though, if something has sold from ebay with various postage and insurance offers from the seller, but the buyer chooses the cheapest option of say for example, First Class, uninsured? I'm suprised actually, that they would send an item of that size, standard first class. Would that then be down to the buyer accepting responsibility that there is a chance it could get lost? I honestly don't know how it would work. I've always sent items recorded with insurance if its over a certain value, but I was under the impression, that if that buyer specificailly chooses a cheaper option, they accept responsibility? Difficult one I think. I would definitely get in contact with him, and not ignore him or be rude. Rudeness never gets you anywhere and just gets peoples backs up and will give him more of a reason to demand a refund. Ask him to be patient for a while, and go to your posty and ask about where you stand and what will happen. If he asks for a refund, I think you are going to have to accept that. If it was the other way round, you'd be feeling exactly the same, and if he actually is one of those few b*****d buyers, unfortunately the trust is always with the buyers and the sellers are always at fault. From now on, always send things recorded delivery and if its of a reasonable value, insure it. It doesnt cost that much more, and its a lot better to spend a few extra quid than loose out on £100.

Different tastes I suppose, at least companies make frames of different shapes to please everyone. I've always liked the curvy top and downtubes used in frames, like montys ect. I dont know why, guess it just breaks up the harsh angles, plus I've always been one for arty shapes. Straight lines just look a little too regimented, curves have a flow to them
