congrats my friend and good luck

maybe put a topic in forsale/wanted to try and swap it with someone?

why do you all bring up that as onza boy mark puts it TGS (tap gap sidehop), ur all saying trials is about having fun, but people are saying TGS is boring and blah. THAT IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE ENJOY DOING FOR FUN. i dont mean to be rude, but has anyone actually watched any of damons vids properly or tunnis or CLS's, and realised what they can do on a bike is amazing? yes its TGS riding, but nevertheless amazing. have u watched boon riding in his videos? how do you spin so easily? how does he manuel so and gap so smooth? its amazing. yes is bmx on a mtb almost, with some trials added in, but nevertheless amazing. ride how the fecking hell you want to ride and stop complaining about boring riding? sometimes i do think that many say that its boring because a) trying to be individual and being slightly jealous? this topic is shit

deng makes the new 07 frames in 135mm spacing though. so whats the problem? go on www.tartybikes.co.uk and its there, available for everyones pleasure damon and chris dont own 116 horizontal dropout frames? and they havent experienced it. Maybe tunnis, but the difference is that the power they put through is so much different. the one problem i have with the adamant hubs is 5mm bolts. they need to be big monsters like king or profile. get an 8mm allen key in there and boooooomf. wont be a problem could always take a look at the bodge i did for horizontal dropouts? in the bikes pics forum

my opinion is that (yes im sponsored by deng) dengs frames are light, but durable, older models were not, but now they are. you dont see many of the 05+ models breaking (without normal circumstances) and yet they are still really light. i just dont think steel is benficial for trials. i mean think about it, i dont see how koxx sell XTP's and most of their frames at that price when deng is selling at almost half of some of the prices. im sorry, but steel is not for trials frames. *now bmx, requires steel because the amount of abuse in comparison and especially with the speed differences requires stronger frames

the spoke base on my adamant hub is wider than that of standard 135mm hubs. eg chris king, the hub of choice for most riders. it has a wider spoke base, less leverage on the axle because its shorter. only thing 135 is bettter for is that it means you can run gears, BUT UCI comps (incase you ride them) allow singlespeed set up now, also most comps in the UK allow singlespeed set up unless in very top categories so other than the fact you would have to buy a new hub, what is so annoying about it? or is everyone just pissed off that deng tried something new? you could always do what tunni did and cut ur king axle to fit the frame

i dont like how plain it is, how designs are restricted really because of the tubing. i dont like the weight issue, just a personal opinion. i always see folk bigging up steel and im not sure why. but i remember that the forum is alot of newbies following 'cool' members etc so if they say steel is cool, then newbs automatically do. i think that if aluminium was available at similar prices as steel is and it wasnt so mass produced in the far east, that much stell products wouldnt be available i dont know, maybe im wrong, but i get the entire feeling with the steel trend, that people ride frames made in stell because they think it makes them individual or that they are sayin f**k you because the ride a frame that is "made in england/britain" (p.s i had a curtis back in the day, and loved it when i had it, but now i look back, and it was a pointless frame for me)

i like aran, we hugged once, then we shared a polite joke about drugs and how he was going to jump me later. then i ran off quickly but i still like him, but only when he is more than 10ft away oh and for his bikes they look reet to me, mikes looks pretty nice. i like the fact you can play around with shizzle on them, i dont like them because they are steel. x

take away the hoook tunni did at that white wall in his last video because it had a kicker. Sorry neil, but it did, thus not making it a cool proper hook, but a cool assisted hoook hooks should not be from bunny hop. its a decision i made for the rest of the trials world many moons ago, anyone getting a big hook from bunny hp officially has their score wiped from the cards thanksyou

the pick with bessel sidehopping with the large drop to the side is pretty sweeet. if only the wall was thinner > closer to the danger > possible chance of bessel getting muddy = ben travis happy

11 pound sent to yourself, drink it wisely mr jones!!!1 WISELY I SAY

if he has stripped his threads, he has to drill out the old ones, create new ones at a larger size, then stick a helicoil in to make the threads m4 (same as existing) if he is just wanting the steel helicoil in there he will have to do the same, or else he will have a smaller hole than before! unnerstand mr snappel?

that is seriously amazing. incredible actually. how he can play the video games i just dont know? amazing

i think he means on back wheel!

he is on a MOD. thats bollocks. no way is it 60" im postive it certainly aint 65" i think they are using a TF tape measure.

oasis fan = legend love it

bump? anyone?

and that saying was not x

one day jonny, people will all convert to this format. its simply the best format. i only convert to divx afterwards because half the replies i got to my video complained about the compression

mine has been fine thankyou.....its good alround and its no different in engagements to the hopehub. i havent had any problems whatsoever. towler has had a few skips, but he never cleans his bike or his hub, so im going to take a look at it. i guarantee it will be gritty and shit inside. so to clear that up MINE HAS BEEN FINE thanks,

i mean not so much an accoustic version but just the backing track for songs. ANY son, not a specific genre, i am struggling for ideas etc... so the forum is my only hope*. please! *lies but i need some help
