  1. We might actually see some really powerful trials on a 24" now. Looking forwards to a video!
  2. To stop getting punched, I avoid people who look like they might want to hit me for no reason. I suppose you could call them punchers, I call them dickheads.
  3. I saw one once, in nottingham. Never seen one before then, that was only last week I think, as well.
  4. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=14 This is a fair example. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?pr...;category_id=14 The short version of this is 1065, which is good.
  5. Try looking at bikes that have a slacker head angle as well as being long. This'll make it feel shorter.
  6. I forgot to add a to the end of that, in retrospect it makes it seem more serious than it was meant to.
  7. The onza slinger proto with the dropped chainstays managed it.
  8. Clearly you know nothing about anything.
  9. I like the frame, but I have no idea how that front wheel ended up like that. If I were you, I'd get a proper set of bars and rob a kid's bike front wheel and find that it rides better.
  10. Problem is, it doesn't say what bike it's for. People putting 10mm and 0mm are stock riders, and people putting 100mm are either tits or mod riders or both. How can that produce results you can use? You'd have to guess at which people meant with 40mm, so you'd be better off guessing to begin with.
  11. If you knew this, you should'nt've asked... Jsut use the current bolt. Simple!
  12. Wert? You want just a longer wheelbase, but for the bike not to feel longer?
  13. If you want to make it feel longer, get a longer stem.
  14. You take that back! If they started making those again, and they made them better, and they made the geometry better, I'd definately have one. Seeing as they're not, I'd still have another, but it'd have to be a good price, and be in good condition, and I'd have to see if I still get on with the geometry. I'd like to add that I think BTbike are fools for quitting the trials frame business, and that if this type of 24" takes off, I'll have great pleasure in laughing at them for not sticking with it.
  15. That was Rowan's own little addition. I discussed it with him, and he said he'd ended up using part of a carbon handlebar and a shitload of epoxy resin. I think it came off a few times though. For anyone thinking of doing it, I'd suggest an alu handlebar stub and chemical metal.

    Art

    Believe it or not, that's a piece of typography with three words: Misery, Victim and Ventilation, that were drawn from a hat for me. This I will always remember as the film poster that I produced in half an hour, after around a week of thinking 'Shit, I don't have an idea!' and coming up with that at the last moment. I think it's good for half an hour or so's work, haha. Another film poster, it's got some words missing because I never actually had to finish it. It's done in the style of Saul Bass, can you tell? This proves I can draw, to some extent. The colouring pissed me off because I did it using the brush tool on PS with my graphics tablet, and it took f**king ages, but there was no way around that I could see. I'll post the rest up (3 more pages) if people are desperate, but the rest is realy badly coloured, because I ended up rushing it. I might post my no award-winning E4 ident in a bit, although strictly speaking it's a video and doesn't belong in this thread, but I'd rather put it with the rest of my shit than in BOTI on its own, even though it's [billandted]totally awesome, dude[/billandted] Ident-ho... Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  17. That's nice Your profile says you're 11, is that right?
  18. Did you do it? I mean, you can either go and do that and know instantly, or sit here on your arse waiting for hours before someone with the right answer comes along.
  19. Try doing this. I presume you have the bolt holes for snail cams already, so: Take a bolt out of your bike. You want a stem bolt or the top cap bolt, 'cause these are both M6. Put it in the hole. If it goes in, it fits, if it doesn't, it doesn't. Then come back on here and worship me for my ingenuity. I might add that not all stem bolts are M6, lol. The top cap bolt is though.
  20. More importantly, it's on a mod and mods don't tend to get on with V brakes. Sell it on h- Get validated and then sell it on here.
  21. Not true, actually. If you're tall, you'll probably fit a stock better, but there are plenty of big mod riders out there. I seem to recall CLS being one of them. It's all about setup, if your mod feels cramped, a longer/higher stem will help. Interestingly enough, the stem geometry affects the BB rise. This is why mods have massive BB rise, because they need longer/higher stems. Anyway, if you're cramped on your mod and you don't like the feel of a longer/higher stem, a frame with a longer top tube and higher BB rise will even out the difference.
