It would function but wouldn't work well. Rather than just the slack in one system, you would be taking up the slack in two systems before engaging, making it kind of pointless.

Well it's housed in the BB shell so...

Just heard that Jimmy Savile has died aged 84 at his home in Leeds. Odd character but something of a legend and of course one of Danny Mac's idols! RIP Sir Savile

Just to put a context on this, I've sold 5 or 6 things this week while doing a full time job and being in Germany for a day. Each item has still been packed up and sent either the day payment was received or the day after, all the first class things being delivered the following day, larger items going standard parcels obviously taking a little longer. For each one I've kept the buyer in the loop and have also of course kept each receipt from the PO just in case... now that's how it should be done and you know what? It was really easy to do as well...

Oooh... good luck! Square taper or ISIS?

Yup, definitely the Hope . Will be posted once the GP qualifying is finished!

It happens. Because of the loading and vibration etc. BB's can work loose. It's important to keep an eye on it and tighten it as soon as you notice it's come loose since otherwise you can strip the threads and ruin the frame. It may be worth getting some thread-lock compound on there before you retighten as this will help to stop it from coming loose again. Final point is that you will need to loosen the non-driveside first before tightening the driveside back up and then retighten the non-driveside.

That's very true actually. Ride gives news what, a couple of pages? The rest is interviews, bike checks, reviews, spot checks etc. You could quite easily set that up if it was based online with reader contributions I guess. Wouldn't make you any money though and would take up a lot of time I imagine.

But again the problem is that anyone in the trials world already know Tarty and the majority are probably already fairly up to speed with new releases etc. because of the Tarty site, Blog and websites like T-F. Tarty actually ran something of an 'experiment' with advertising in Trials Magazine and from what he said on here the response was surprisingly low, making it not really worthwhile (correct me if I'm wrong Ads).

It costs money to do any of that though. The biketrials included in Trial Magazine is probably about the best you can expect from a full on magazine and that's not much and often aimed at the French market (lots of Atomz, Koxx etc). Tribalzine also is based in France so fairly strongly biased to that side of the market (and translated of course). Give it a go yourself, if you want to see it, give it a crack! Edit: which is on top of the very valid point made by Mr Revolver.

Ali: Thought so! Nevermind, as you were I just think on a £2300 bike, dripping with Hope bling, for the sake of maybe £6 (trade price for grip doctors?) per bike, it would be worthwhile as a nice finishing touch... but then I'm incredibly anal. Oo er...

Who is they? There used to be one but it had such a small following I think it just ended up too much work to continue. Trials is too small to make it worth anyone's while. An online magazine would work but then sites like this and Tribalzine have kinda got it covered with breaking news and stuff anyway.

Can you have words with Dave next time you speak to him to get Hope to throw in some bar ends for the bikes please? The whole thing is absolutely top end and lush as you like... except those horrid plain plastic bar ends! I couldn't stand them on the Team so got some Grip Doctors and they finish the bike off loverly. Am I just incredibly anal?

It'll probably be fine for stuff like that but don't expect it to last long as far as hubs, BB etc. are concerned, especially if it is left outside or is exposed to the elements lots. For that much you can't really go far wrong though. Even if you resell it in a couple of months you could probably ask for like $50-$75.

Sigh.

Pretty bad I'd say. Depends what you want it for and how it'll be treated and maintained.

Really?

What an awesome idea. On a different note, I honestly don't understand how you (Ryan) can't see how you're the one causing all of this hassle (time and time again). Your attitude on here is shite, not anyone elses. Refund this guy, grow the f**k up and if possible please never use T-F again. It's incredibly disappointing that people like you are asked to represent big companies such as Onza (though I think that arrangement has actually ended now hasn't it?). You give a bad name to trials with your attitude and you can't even see it.

Yeah, 'cos that'll work...

The 'Disputes' section has at least three threads of him buggering people about so you're not alone...

Inside the headtube I believe.

Also run CCleaner and Eusing Registry Cleaner. If it's still running poorly after that (and it's understandable when the HDD is fairly full) have a look in the Program Files folder and sus out where the storage is being used (unless it's in your documents by videos and pictures of course). The other thing to do is open up task manager and see if anything is using up lots of memory or CPU.

Why does Sean run a full cassette when he's got the mech locked out and running it singlespeed?...

Did that result in his death? Christ... brakeless?! I can justt imagine the bike looping out massively on landing after extending to make the landing.
