Just to go against the grain here, I can see exactly where Chris is coming from. A crown race is designed to sit on the crown of the fork, where the load is taken by the two flat surfaces. From what's being described the crown race is unable to seat properly so any load is being passed through a circular point load (does that make sense?) rather than through a surface. Doesn't sound ideal to me, although I'm well aware of how awesome and strong the forks are.

Am with Rich who's with Ali. Gilles, Benito, Kenny et al. have all done bigger and more difficult hooks.

Not really an RIP thread 'cos the dude was a complete f**king nutter but not sure quite what it means for the future. In other news he was brilliant in Team America. You are worthress, Arec Barrwin!

Short but sweet.

Aww, shucks .

Doctor of engineering rather than medical though The tough call was the being a Dr and then getting married... the other half was Ms Power so I could've become Dr Power... kinda sounds like an evil mastermind though and although good for the novelty factor I fear it may have worn off so I'm just Dr Marshall.

Depends whether you're running a booster etc. I'd guess 20mm are more like it for standard 4 bolt mounts with no spacers or booster.

Definitely a 10. Finished my EngD and became a doctor, Got married, Got promoted and got a pay rise, Landed a new very useful customer at work, Awesome Summer holiday in the Alps, Got a couple of new bikes. All good.

You want to try and sell it to them as more than just a trials park- play on the whole 'giving young people something constructive and active to do' angle. Put across how trials (and riding in general) is as much about the social side of things as the riding itself so a park would give lots of people a central area to congregate and share a passion. Probably also playing on the Danny Mac thing a bit, considering your location. Trials is certainly going through a bit of a 'boom' and Danny's certainly not hurting that.

Mirra Co? Edit: Yup

But it is going to make pretty much everyone on here hate you, without ever even meeting you. I do wonder if that's part of the fun for you though- are you sitting there giggling like a little school girl at your successful trolling? If I didn't know better I'd guess that you don't even ride a bike but the fact you do just makes this whole thing completely stupid and I don't see what you're getting out of it or why it would seem like a good idea to you...

Speak for yourself. Oh, wait...

Because of the way you come across on here I don't give a shit what you're like in real life. If you're a super nice guy in real life, why act like a complete dick here, badmouthing everyone and acting the e-hardman? Regardless of judging books by their covers, first impressions count. With trials-forum, first impressions happen online and you do yourselves no favours whatsoever by coming across with such a childish yet aggressive manner time and time again. There's only one person embarrassing themselves here, Andy...

Can you not see that you're completely out of line. Threatening people on a forum is just pathetic. Danny Kearns used to be a twat like you but he kinda grew out of it. You're 20 and sound like a f**king hormonal, angry 13 year old tosser all the time. It gets really old really quickly.

I'll try but I can't promise anything.

You really are a dick. That's pretty much it from me. Oh, except that I don't see what's wrong with Gonks. They look kinda funky. Oh yeah, and I agree with Ali. And Flipp. And Dann. And Kaybs. And CalopS. And Luke. And Kyle. And Mr Echo Lite. And Alistair.

Spelling correction fail.

There's definitely a joke in there about people from Liverpool somewhere...

And you think a back door spray job from a garage is going to stand up better? No chance. Powder coat for durability every time.

Definitely. You will get punctures. Best bet is to take a multi-tool that covers the majority of potential problems (cranks, brakes, bars/stem etc.) and tyre levers if required for your setup.

Nah, shouldn't cause any problems at all for you. I used to ride my GT set up for trials 7 miles to my nearest town (before I could drive!) to ride (and then back again of course!). The only thing to keep an eye on if you're going to be riding distance is things like pedals and cranks. If they come loose while pedalling you could trash the tapers/threads etc so if something doesn't feel right, stop and check it out. Otherwise you should be good.

And the first thing that comes up when I search Amazon for Craig Lee Scott? I did find my own biography though:
