  1. hahahah suppose that does blow up in my face after my comments to you eh. now i have taken my foot out of my mouth i appreciate the compliments.
  2. yup...its so much fun. real technical challenge to try and do trials on a brakeless bike. also allows a more fun aspect with throwing in spins etc (this is because i have gone with a shorter bike by some way in my riding). although how much longer i will be doing it for i will never know. however it gives such an improvement in riding when you get back on a bike with brakes, purely because you have learn new techniques for things
  3. guys...why all the sudden changes onto inspireds now?
  4. aye cheers for the invite towler....
  5. Haha. I'm sure we are all using tnn pads on our bikes. I am just riding brakeless whilst I wait on my new bike. Cheers for all the positive comments guys )
  6. cheers for the responses boys, i thought the ol' give it a good twatting might be the best idea, but wasnt sure if i should maybe heat the crank arm up before i do this? i was planning on getting it helicoiled if it is sort-able, will have to try and get the pedal out first obviously. i dont think the crank arm is cracked...i cannot see anything thats fo' sho'. kenster...i tried that using a wee alan key as they are V8's with a 6mm allen key in the rear of the axle, but to no avail. it seems to catch a thread and then loses it again. also keeps going squint, which i dont really want to do as i will hopefully get it helicoiled. ill have a shot this weekend gents and if i need anymore help will shout here
  7. Gents / Ladies / Wee men, i have a aluminium crank arm that the pedal threads have stripped in. The unfortunate problem is that the pedal some how seems to still be stuck in the crank arm - the pedal axle will rotate either way freely, however it will not come out of the crank arm. some sensible solutions required please. i would like to try and re-use the pedal if possible, and ill look into getting the crank arm tapped, but need to remove said pedal first. ta boyos ben
  8. lets see a neil t vs. damon vs. tra vs. cls in a caged bike fight: they all have to be blindfolded, in the corner of a caged ring. from here they have to backhop into each other until there is a last man standing. that person will be crowned king of TGS until further notice! is this a fight you would like to see? then call 07154 765342 to place your vote. if enough votes are recieved then the fight will take place on the 11th July in order to clash with the world cup final.

  16. selling my ozonys xr26 if you fancy a modern geo'd frame with vertical dropouts
  17. Righty-o. Currently waiting on my new bike so thought i would build myself up a wee bike for playing around on. After seeing all the recent influx of brakeless and after my trial with no rear brake previously i thought i would go the whole hog. So.....this is my attempt on my first night of riding completely brakeless. Ill stick to 26 inch though as i dont need none of this 24 malarkey .....plus its old school 26...brisa b26d FTMFW Your thoughts are welcome as always, massive thanks to Tartybikes Tnn Engineering and Trialtech for their support. cheers guys.

  18. damon is a righty i think? gilles coust is right hermy is right giacomo is right dani comas ben travis is right
  19. you are a big boy now sam. get yourself onto a stock .
  20. in addition can someone name that tune as its awesome...i have tried to shazam it to no avail
  21. the DSLRs with video funciton seem to be so ridiculously priced. can someone point me in the direction of a reasonably priced one that has a decent video function too? TRA's recent videos seem to be the pinnicle of media filming for trials just now. twinned with his decent riding its always going to be a good video. however i am with you...why is it the sudden trend?
