  1. You'd need to drill the frame with holes approximately the OD of the o-rings used. To get the hose/cable through the frame you'll need to remove any fittings from the end meaning you'll be able to slide the o-rings over the hose/cable and locate them in the right place within the tubes and if necessary you could have grommets at either end of the o-ring 'chain' to seal the tube where the hose/cable enters and exits. Just a thought really since expanding foam could well give you some major headaches if you ever want to change the hose/cable outer as it will effectively bond itself inside the frame unless you treat the external surface of the hose/cable first with oil or something to stop it sticking...
  2. Apparently you're disabled in the eyes
  3. Or distribute some well sized o-rings along the length of the internally located tubing to reduce any noise? Combined with some reasonably tight grommets at the drilled holes that should do the job.
  4. Maybe he should just get a Marino. Joking aside, I don't think weight saving has anything to do with it. As with Chris who attacked his brand new Skye, the only issue is the voiding of warranty however, if you're ok with this (and to be fair Inspired's are built frickin' strong so I very much doubt there'd ever be an issue) I'd go for it!
  5. Inspired forks are straight blade... That bike does look really nice though (minus the forks). There's something about a simple black and white colour scheme that just works.
  6. I think you're mad for not going for the Orange Ash... Though it wouldn't surprise me if the Orange was sold within hours of being posted up anyway.
  7. I did a season of Hampshire comps on a Fourplay, just changed the rear wheel for one with a ground rim, changed the tyres and went for it. Obviously it wasn't ideal but was still very enjoyable and reasonably competitive!
  8. That's dangerous... If she really means a lot to you best get things sorted otherwise it'd be all too easy to lose her. I should know as I met my now wife in halls when she was already with another guy from her hometown. It didn't end well for him. Edit: that last sentence sounds rather dark... I didn't kill him or anything .
  9. You're training to be a doctor, right? I can only assume you haven't done the 'bedside manner' module yet? I really feel sorry for your future patients...
  10. Looks very pro! Good work! Just a shame there's no snow...
  11. In theory yes but check what you're buying as the title says M5 x 0.8 and the description states M5 x 1.0...
  12. If I had a few more 20" bits kicking about I'd be sorely tempted to buy one to build up as a brakeless bike for a laugh... I can imagine old school geo and long chainstays might actually be quite useful for that, plus being steel and a bit more resilient to boot.
  13. His riding and that video bored me immensely...
  14. Used to have a black one and then a baby sick yellow one. Rode quite well actually as memory serves me correctly. You just need to be careful with the bashguard rubbers (or just run a bashring set up). Edit: Bit of history for you- the forks in that picture are the very first pair of Echo 20" forks ever to land in the UK, back when Kurt Brain started riding for X-Street and Echo. Got them to run on the EM2 (again, the first Echo 20"'s ever in the UK, firstly a preproduction one followed by a red production version) I rode for X-Street and were then used on a few bikes afterwards. They were rushed over from China and weren't even lacquered!
  15. There need to be more subliminal messages in trials vids . Edit: Awesome vid, really love your style Mark and Ali+Hex = pure win. So how long before the full 'Blackpool Ain't Ready' DVD?!
  16. You just get redirected to paypal.com/uk anyway.
  17. Looks legit to me. It shows that you're logged in at the top, are you sure it wasn't already logged in on someone else's account or something? Saying that, card details usually give you the last 4 digits, rather than XX 34 or whatever.
  18. Fairly sure you're talking about Neil Lemon but it's the Isle of Wight not the Isle of Man. My link
