    Well, kinda, I've still got mine. Think it changed a bit when I got to 18 but I didn't have to sign anything.

    16+ Banking.

    I went with halifax, what with using them since I was a kid. They gave me a visa electron card. This is great, it will decline if you don't have the money, rather than making you overdrawn. Although by some miracle I managed to overdraw it twice.
  3. It was revealed in another thread that the tap you get in a helicoil kit isn't actually M6, it's somewhere in between.

    Yeah, man. Knew you were good at this brakeless stuff right from the start!

    I also use astra owners club, occasionally.
  6. PM, private messages, messages between members no-one else can see. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?app=members&module=messaging That's where you find your PMs. Look for the little envelope underneath someone's avatar, and use that to send a PM to someone. If you have a PM, that 0 next to your username near the top will go up.
  7. Is he still on that K124 goodboy?
  8. I hate the shit where they use a person lying on the floor.
  9. I would think if it was any of the connections it would either not work at all or constantly try to put in extra letters.
  10. It's not that, I think it's a pysical issue with the keyboard. Or you're drunk.
  11. What part of your hand aches? Some people's wrists ache, and they find if they move the levers into a better position it stops. The angle of the bars affects how your bike feels, particularly if they're riser bars. It might be worth playing with the angle to see if it lets off some strain, possibly leaning them back would help.
  12. It's expensive, however if you built a complete trials wheel with a quality hub like that, you wouldn't need to upgrade it if you bought a cheaper full build bike. You could buy a phase, for example, and use this hub and it would be excellent from the beginning!
  13. Yep. It doesn't sound like you've rode for long so you'll find learning the skills easier. Just gotta get used to it... and the fact it takes a lifetime to ride anywhere!
  14. So, is this actually back?
  15. Thanks, that made me feel warm inside.

  16. Weirdo. It was called the ryenappa sex tape, wasn't it?
  17. It was the 'squeezes a lemon' bit that made me think it was google translate! Sometimes you get odd phrases like that through it. Side to side balance is practice. If you want to know how to stop pulling up to one side, I find when my hands aren't holding the bars evenly I pull to one side. Otherwise you need to practice more. If you want to know how to turn, watching videos wil show you people sort of shift their weight to the side. Tilt your knees and move your arse in the direction you want to go, and you should start going that way.

  19. It's either a slack chain or a shit hub.
  20. You need a front sprocket of 24 and a rear one of 16, something like that, which is very doable on a BMX. It won't give you much clearance. Then, you need to get a sick brake. If it has a U-brake mount, getting some of the clear inspired v-brake pads will do, and you need a good lever, for both brakes. Finally, you'd need a stem for a mod bike, and handlebars as well. And at the end, you've got a bike that doesn't ride very well for trials.
  21. Some tips include: Set the brake so the disc is as close to the static pad as possible without rubbing. If the disc fouls on the caliper, then use the big red adjusting dial to set it until it doesn't Set it as straight as you can. I use my eye for this. Tighten up the cable so it bites as quickly or as slowly as you like.
  22. You'd think, wouldn't you, that with there being street frames and super extreme comp frames, that there'd be a few frames that slot in there in the middle. I know! Save up and start your own brand of trials frames!
