  1. What am I supposed to rate? The girls or the paintings?
  2. Biggest horizontal static gap? Longest line of rails? Front hops? Sidehop has been done, but can surely be broken.
  3. Brookes campus or Brooklands campus in Byfleet?
  4. How have they been "lost" though? Have they just come loose and fallen out, or have they been ripped out of the pedal body? No point in buying loads if you can't screw them in. As Muel said, you might need to drill and tap some new threads. I saw years and years ago someone who had drilled all the way through the pin hole, then screwed in the sharpest self tappers I have ever seen. Super grippy, but if they made contact with your shin; it would surely be a hospital job.
  5. Mostly depends on what cranks you have and how much cash you are willing to part with. With good quality cranks... Sq. Taper: Strong, plenty of space for decent bearings, cost effective to replace the BB. ISIS: Stronger, stiffer, these days you can get a very good BB with good bearings for around £35-40. With cheap cranks... Sq. Taper: SHOCKING. ISIS: Better option, they wont "round off".
  6. That archive is awesome I spotted myself in Trials Chat when I was Sam@SouthTrials
  7. OK. Geez, why is eveyone so snappy on this forum these days?
  8. Haha, what's your problem? Just close this or something. Quite clearly nothing is going to happen untill the stem is posted, which from what it seems, will be. Dyslexic? Who cares.
  9. I made a bike stand in my later years of school. Was rather good acttually, I based it on a Park Tools one. Quite easy to make and plenty to write about. I wouldn't bother with trials parts, they are too specific and will confuse your teachers and far too much explaining will be involved. A bike stand is a simple project that anyone can understand and relate to.
  10. Well, it's no Andy C. Pretty good though. Recently, why does every DJ I meet seem to be a drum and bass DJ?
  11. Why doesn't everyone just f**king grow up.
  12. Years ago I had a Hope XC with an 18t sprocket, a 12t sprocket and a Shimano 105 Mech. It worked perfectly. Kinda pointless on a ride though, as everyone else is riding between spots at 5mph. So unless you are a loner or live in the ghetto and need to sprint through it on your way home, I wouldn't bother.

    Majorca

    Bike shops in Mallorca; Gomila's in Binnisalem. Bequisport in Alcudia opposite burger king on the main through road from Port de Pollenca to Can picafort. Niu Wave in Alcudia. Ciclos Quintana. http://www.mallorcaweb.net/quintanabike/ There's also a good one in Manacor apparently.

    Majorca

    Not really. Keyword "Majorca" and use Google Language Tools to translate. Do you really need a shop though, how long are you going for? Bike Trials began in Spain, I'm sure most bike shops will have something trials related.
  15. I've got a Viewty, it's shite. That's a camera phone. edit: Krisboats... I had one of those Motorola F3 phones for 5 hours before I took it back to get a refund. They are shocking. Nokia 1100 is where it's at
  16. People say I look like Paddy McGuinness. That's embarrasing.
  17. I used to ride with Hobbsie back in 2002, he was one of the funniest people I've met. Never a bad time with Hobbsie about. I hadn't seen him on a ride for a year or so and I had been looking forward to chatting to him again. Rest in Piece Nick, you'll be missed by everyone. Thoughts to family and friends.
  18. Evening. My bb has collapsed and it's been a couple of years since I changed it, and I can't remember what length I need. Maybe someone can help? I've got a Toxsin #1, so 73mm needed for that, but I've been offered a couple of lengths. I was interested in the Truv Gigapipe as it seems reasonably priced and strongish, although what length do I want?
  19. Baby oil, and olive oil both work. Don't use WD40, it eats the seals. For best results though; Had to be done.
