I've been told the paint from Monster Colours is really good and pretty cheap. Not a huge variety but there you go. I've been sourcing cheap Plastikote stuff from eBay recently.

Yeah... but it's mainly about the porn and discounts.

I think maybe you could've drilled that hole a bit closer to the surface you know...

I'd like it more if I didn't know it was made on an evil Mac...

It's Vittorio's fault for being sponsored by Emporio Armani... In other news I ordered the Brumotti DVD from some dude in Italy on Friday so looking forward to seeing some more silly riding in inappropriate clothing!

Yeah man, that video was crazy. Quite disturbing, especially when the midgets came in, but still immense.

Exactly. It manages to both belittle and raise insecurities in your average Joe(sephine) while also ensuring that there's a good proportion of people in the world suffering from anorexia and bulimia while also providing much needed low paid jobs for the poor and undernourished children of third world countries across the world. Now there's an industry to stand for and defend if ever there was one!

Nah, they did (do?) actually do MTB ones. Mainly designed for XC to be fair and I don't think I'd trust one for trials... looks pretty cool though! Libor Karas also used to run one back in the day.

More. When I first started the RRP was something like £255 a pair. Until Chain Reaction started cheating the system of course...

Both of those have been around since before most of the forum were born!

You dare to question the awesome trials knowledge that is the Tarty Bikes crew?! Fool me once, shame on — shame on you. Fool me — you can't get fooled again. Seriously though, if they told you it will fit, chances are it'll work.

I meant that I think it was sarcasm on Chris's part. Just spent 20 seconds getting himself set up, didn't make the move and then just gave a half hearted 'time please' in a semi sarcastic/funny voice rather than due to exertion. That's all.

To be honest I'd say that was more sarcasm seeing as he'd been stationary setting up for the previous 20 seconds... Crazy how far things have come on. The yellow route these days is insane.

I thought so! Paul from Stonehaven rode both sizes at some point from what I remember. In fact the frame in Aberdeen could well have been bought by him... That would've been around 2000/2001 I guess. Edit: Just in case anyone's interested- Ashton on eBay.

But luckily doesn't really matter at all if you're brakeless. Win. Haha, so you're not planning going back to brakes ever then? Brave man!

Ahahahaha... Numpty.

Should be ok because of the awesomeness of PVA glue.

Lols... And tyre clearance to seat is measured in...? Picometres?

Welcome. Now please leave. Edit: Ohmygosh it already exists.

I'm not convinced by that argument myself. Considering the diameter and depth of the respective pawls and bodies I'd say the actual contact areas are probably pretty similar... As has been said many a time, until someone who can actually ride trials properly gives the I9 a go and provides some feedback I'll be unconvinced. Especially if the best evidence that comes up is that they work brilliantly for XC, freeriding and BMX. Different. Kettle. Of. Fish. And what a weird saying that is...

Is he wearing a binbag for trousers? Fashion smashion...

Isn't that kinda like grooming?... STRANGER DANGER!

As are the dropouts and they don't have disc mounts either. Apart from that... But yeah, I don't think I'd be using them on a trials bike and I doubt there's much point anyway. Except for the bling thing of course...
