  1. Question 2: disc brakes do that. Its called pad rock. It happens on all brakes, even on maguras it will happen. I wouldnt worry about it at all to be honest.
  2. exactly. so its not as bad as everyone is making out at all. they (them who is searching for you) would only get your details if you get in touch with them...
  3. yer james......NEWB
  4. aye, just put the sides with a bit of extra cardboard. although to stop the stays being flexed you could try and get hold of an old axle or something, just to keep the frame rigid. Another option is just find anything that will sit bettween the stays perfectly withough movement. This will stop any flex / possible damage. then pad that box out with lots of old newspapers or pipe insulation. People love that when they have to empty out a box of it lol.
  5. Can i be rude enough to ask if you have taken your pedals and/or cranks off. If your pedals are not off those cranks then get them off. I have never had any problems fitting a trials bike in any bike box that i have used. In fact most of the time i have had to cut the box to lower its size.
  6. pounds sterling from what i know lad. Depends on the exchange rate when you pay really i suppose
  7. He has a deal with marino, so my assumption would be a free frame. From what i have heard elsewhere a custom frame will be around 150 - 180. (incl. shipping)
  8. my name is danny macaskill....i like the bobby. thats what he should be saying
  9. yet another rubber queen lover that has converted to a tyre that is heavier... now everyone should realise that actually rubber queens suck for trials bike looks nice though lad. I love the custom drilling on the rim. Too much time on your hands though...
  10. no offence to ross, but the riding looked bigger than it probably was because of the fish eye. McD can go big for a wee nipper, but once he loses the fish eye it will be a better appreciation of how good he actually is. gunna be a decent rider if he keeps it up
  11. there will be a stubert video when you get a video of you "riding" this chain
  12. Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  13. Sunn own atomz . Its alreet simpson...come here ill give you a hug. we wont pick on you too much
  14. it does in the vast scheme of things lad. Economies of scale...
  15. fish eye sucks...thats what we think. your gerrin' good lad, springy little bas*ard. keep off that monty though Oh a quick time. if your going to use a fish eye, then zoom through it a little so we dont have to see the stupid edges of the lens!!!
  16. holy f**kin shiznit.....that was awesome. the drop off the warehouse roof was insane.
  17. i left them out, because you rolled about a 3rd of an ants leg. so it didnt really count. haha
  18. On the contrary, trialtech stems are awesome. Had no problems with mine. I love it. I think if you has the stem slammed to the headset then it would be too low, however a 10-15mm stacker(s) underneath would solve that problem. It also depends on your bar choice / position. If you have monty bars they have a large rise, although trialtech bars has a low rise. SO consider that as well Use stackers and the TT stem will be fine, if you slam it, i imagine it would be a little low
  19. cheers weeeeee man. will be good to get back out on a wee bicycle soon. Fingers crossed anyway
  20. He hasn't recieved the marino yet..... its on its way. although its a dirty, dirty 24
