You can talk to it in french if you like but I doubt it'll understand you considering you were ungraded. Just try it and see I'd say. With a bit of luck it may speak quite good English, thus bypassing the need for you to utilise your bilingual skillz. Is that a good thing? I've never really considered the IQ of Pisum sativum.

Sounds like Haye's going for the old butterfly/bee style and getting away with it so far... Will be interesting to see the footage somewhere later.

I've just tried pointing at my mouth for the past 10 minutes and I still haven't thrown up... Lolz. Cool.

It's the predesessor of the production Caeleferaeraerea thingy isn't it?

Imagine what you can do with the £1.29 you'll save! Hehe, jus' kiddin'!

Without meaning to offend anyone... Does he come from anywhere near Chernobyl?

And for anyone who didn't see the press conference footage. f**k. Me.

That tends to be how deliveries work .

I looooove Ali's smooth ups to two wheels. Looks so cool!

I always speed except in 30 limits.

Why double? I've never heard that.

If the yarn is effectively elasticated (providing the compression) then a heavier yarn (of the same relative properties) will have a stronger elastication (think thick vs thin rubber band).

I emailed them about a year ago and the guy promised they'd be around at the start of this year... Damn liar!

I could make some dirty comment there about what I'd be willing to give you for it but I'll refrain!! How big is it out of interest (the doodle)?

15mm sounds reasonable. You can always go lower if needed. Yes to move the star nut down (if you have to) just thread an M6 bolt into the star nut and tap it with a hammer.

I'd honestly pay for that. Frickin' epic.

They should be worth the wait! You're probably not far off pricewise although RRP is still to be confirmed.

Exactly- you see that's all shiny and not chipped or scratched at all . Ok, so I guess, just maybe, you know what you're talking about when it comes to spraying stuff. Sheesh, some people .

I don't really get the advantage of straight pull hubs/spokes... Looks like you'd be adding mass to the flange of the hub shell and since spokes always (with me anyway) snap at the nipple/thread you're not gaining anything strength wise are you?

Bloody impressive riding says I. So controlled yet still some big powerful moves. Good job!

Man that sounds like HASSLE!! To be honest I'm totally not convinced by Matt's spraying advice. Spraying loads on with the can close will just end up looking like the bike started life in a Salvador Dali painting... Follow the instructions on the can (which is usually spray at a distance of 300mm and use several light coats etc). I've found that by far the easiest way to apply lacquer is not to bother at all though... especially on a trials bike which will just get battered an scratched up anyway.

For a start the T-Master hub is sealed so no cones to worry about- the spacers which you point out are just spacers. The new axle will not come with them because there will be nothing wrong with the current ones and you can just reuse them. To remove them they will either just be an interference fit (tight but not threaded or anything) or there will be a little allen key grub screw at some point around it which you will just need to loosen to remove the spacers.

Without making the finish look shit?

Just do it. Even if you sneak off on your own and get a few lessons on the 'baby' slope to learn the basics is shouldn't take long to get your head around it. You won't regret it- boarding's awesome .

To be honest I think the Abingdon ride should only ever be organised with the support and backing of Sue, Charlie and Sam. Of course that is not to say that DJ will ever be forgotten without the ride but simply that it is their call and if they don't believe it is achieving what they originally set out to then they should be able to call an end to it. I imagine there will be a Portsmouth memorial ride for many years to come and I can see that as the natural continuation for a 'rider organised' gathering.
