  1. I argue that all the time and no one listens to me An 05 spec maggie looks like this http://www.simplythebike.co.uk/images/Magu..._hs33_lever.jpg when stock (ie no deng blade) & an 04 spec looks like this http://www.bikedock.com/custom/HS33.jpg will that do?
  2. OK it's not strictly true, but rob said he felt like it. Ur lucky, u don't have to ride with the muppet. only joking.
  3. so yeah, um. oh yeah. Are the try-all rims red or that sorta dodged up pinky red like viz stuff and the revell rims. I ask because when a guy I know bought his very expensive new wheels without checking he found they were said dodgy colour and cried 4 hours . seriously, it broke his heart cos he had worked for months to buy them.
  4. Link: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....ils&id=1400 Can anyone else view it or is it this shi**y computer?
  5. Echo Team!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But the lite is a good frame. Get the double disc and you'd be laughn'. Otherwise, get a team
  6. if want something u can repair I've got the perfect thing and it's stupidly cheap as well which is a bonus. Mine works perfectly well and you don't need a bank loan to buy it. http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?produc...;category_id=19 EDIT: i've just found this http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?produc...;category_id=57 Meaning that headset has to come open somehow (if it fits that is)
  7. Step 1. Clean the rim with muc-off degreaser Step 2. sand the pads down with 20ish grade sandpaper (really rough) Step 3. go down a step hill as fast a possible (I get a mate to push me on a MTB) with brake on until it squeaks like fook Step 4. lightly tar the rim. Step 5. Go trials! Oh and V!Z stuff ain't shit OK.
  8. T-pro hubs are supposed to be 110mm but mine must have been oversize because i had to replace to locknuts on the cones (i put thin ones off a front wheel on) so I could fit cams on my echo (mod).
  9. Tesco tubes r £1.50. run less than 20psi in em & they take a surprising amount of abuse. If u pinch one, slice it open down the middle and take the valve out. then go to tesco & buy another and use the the 1st tube as a sleve. Bye bye pinch punchures
  10. WD 40/diesel on an old T-shirt. anything cotton does though
  11. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10172 Doesn't matter which compound put the yellow's put my (stick thin) mate over the bars the other day, even when he had his arse over the back wheel! no tar either. Proper moment
  12. Onza all the way. T-bird or t-pro upwards. t-vees are shite.
  13. If ur serious about carbon forks check out pace. i'll find the link. EDIT: http://www.evanscycles.com/product.jsp?style=12118 and they do a version with a Ti crown aswell but i can't find it @ the mo.
  14. I got bored of spectating @ mototrials & parents had no money 2 buy me a moto. then picked up MBUK randomly in asda, saw the onza advert and thoght what the f**k!!?? then saw the advert for the worlds @ addingham in the next issue, went along and was hooked. (BTW, can anyone remember who won, I can't!) Then bought a t-bird from aire valley and was properly hooked. Now on an echo and still luvin it!
  15. I didn't do anything wrong (i think ). I gapped off a small wall, pulled the back brake and and landed on my my arse because the slave shot out of the clamp. went to set the brake up and the bolt tightened up as usual until i put pressure on it and it stripped. I then swore alot and pushed home in disgust. Please tell me where I went wrong. BTW: where do i get the helicoil kit from?
  16. the threads in 1 of the maggie mounts last night on my 1 MONTH old echo and now i'm scared if I re-tap the mount it'll do it again. 1 of my riding friends suggested helicoiling it cos it's stronger or sommet. I have NO idea what the hell this is. (Could someone please explain in words with 2 syllables or please.) anyway, where do u get the helicoil kit and should I do that anyway? thanks Ciaran.
  17. Yellow V!Z pads. downside is that they're soft as shit so wear down dead quick. sweet comp pads though.
  18. I did a topic on this about 6 months ago & the general opinion was that it is shite. proper, proper shite.
  19. As above, use degreaser instead of lighter fluid. Muc-off works the best. mabye use the bike wash & give ur bike a spring clean, then ur bike will b doing this .
  20. You bas***d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My heart has just sunk through the floor. £650 for that bike. Doh!!!!
  21. 5mm headset spacer might do but i'm only guessing
  22. the skf is worth it, i'd recomend the meta one on tarty.
  23. It was 20 cos select were selling them 4 a 10er each. bargain! Thanks. They should be. One of the previous owners screwed up the clamp bolts & I can't change them round. It does'nt matter though. All comments apprieciated.
  24. right, heres the links. http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj15/cc...10/S5000559.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj15/cc...10/S5000560.jpg http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj15/cc...10/S5000558.jpg
