Captain Scarlet

Norwich on the 23rd hopefully. Non trials, my Nan is coming down and thats about it. As for crimbo, I think I'm gonna start saving for a 50 or 125.

Well simple question. With untrained idiot PCSO's going around and trying to bust just about anyone they see riding on a pavement or near one, the law is currently that cyclists must ride in the road. I feel its stupid how a legislation was made to remove cyclists from the paths to keep pedestrians safe, but not one that ensures the cyclist is then safe in the road? Should cycle helmets be made compulsory?

For 26", get one of the new Diamondback trials bikes, either the Tekiya or the Kabuki Mono. And 20" get a second hand T-Pro.

To those saying "Ride without gloves", winter is kind of approaching? I bought a set of Diamondback gloves from work, just to keep my hands warm, done the job perfectly.

What day is this? Looks like a way away so I can plan ahead, also haven't riden Norwich before. I'll see if anyone else wants to go from around here, and keep you posted. Lets make this a biggy.

I too am trying to get my head around what Dan said. Surely because it has a front freewheel the chain goes around whilst rolling, but the rear wheel spins not the rear cog when rolling so the chain has to be stationary, but then theres a front freewheel so what the hell is that doing? Eeeek!!!

Tom and his competition clothing. I didn't even realise that Steve was in fancy dress until Reece mentioned it lmao. I am liking the pictures of Adam's sidehops, the angle looks amazing.

Me and Steve will be at the pier at 10 if you can meet at that time, if you can't meet then, we'll be at the rocks or along the front in that direction around 12ish. EDIT: Oh and Al, I used to hate rocks, but that visit to St Osyth definately changed that opinion, definately have to ride there again sometime, and definately in the summer next year.

My frame came with a Shimano and eventually died. I've had an Echo/VP BB for about 5 months now, all good.

Looks like the *** trials bike. I am liking the bashring, its like a bmx sprocket protector. I'm not a big fan on the whole aesthetics of the frame.

I fancy riding a bit of Clacton, nice way to end the year as I'm dying to ride rocks, and hopefully I'll have my Echo by then. Preferably a Saturday, as Sunday complicates travel, but depends on who or what the turnout is. Meet at pier at 10. And I'm a weather freak, so if it rains then I'm not going. Whos up for it.

When are you going to be riding it then, must be quite a change from a Ti.

I do love the KO's very sexy. But they looks a gazillion times better without the odd looking stickers.

Wow thats weird, I never saw this post but the idea of a trip to France riding just popped into my head. Its obviously not a thing that can be done in a day, so if in the unlikely event that I can pop along it looks like I'm staying there for the night. But hey you never know, my dad might be feeling ambitous.

Woah, post it on a forum full of young members, lets just hope some on the New memers don't see this post.

We have brought up the idea of a trials park around our area, and it is most likely to go ahead the guy who we spoke to just wants some ideas/drawings/dimensions of what will occupy the land he has. Its part of a country side project called the discovery centre, and basically he wants to make the trials park look like its actually there for a reason and not merely a load of pallets that look as though they have been dumped there. Signed for you mate, good luck with it.

CNC backings supposedly make the brake pad stiffer, and apparently work like a booster. But some have managed to break Magura pistons.

I like the forks, definately an improvement to the standard cheapy onza forks. Look like Echo Lite forks.

I think he should put up a website and sell some of those frames. Could give Deng a run for his money. I like the frame with the Monty co-ordination.

Wish I was half decent at Pro desktop, would love to make frames. Those designs look pretty damn swish. Now just figure out where the rear axle is going to go.

The main production Pro 3's have no disc mounts. However there was a limited number Pro 3 wheel sets, these had the disc mounts on them. Looked pretty pimp too.

Mineral oil.

I dont really like the guy myself. As a magician anyway, all of the effects he performs is like he has been on a shopping spree in a magic shop, its all commonly found gimmicks and gafices. There's already one David Blaine, and he's not too great at his patter either. If he changed his style, the effects he performs, and the way he presents his magic, then I might like it. Basically a new magician.

Looks nice Charles, I think you should get a nice big Echo sticker for it, the black outline will make it stand out.
