Think you may be a bit late for this one mate... . What bike you getting? Maybe buy a bigger lock this time? Or maybe hook it up to the mains so if any pikey's try and nick it they get fried in the process!

Someone got out of the wrong side of bed this morning .

My best guess would be a dodgy connection between the charging unit and the laptop. That means, most likely, either a broken wire in the charger cable (can you get it to charge by bending the wire in certain directions?) or a broken connection inside the laptop as happened with my GF's Packard Bell laptop. That's more awkward to fix as it'd need to be very carefully soldered.

The North Shore stuff is just North of Ringwood, West Hampshire. If you head up the road for a few miles, at Morrisons in Verwood, East Dorset there's a really nice area with lots of walls of various heights where you never get hassle.

Have you got the 26\" built up as well yet Damon? Is the geo the same for both?

Bored, bored, bored, bored, bored...

I'm afraid due to you being on the wrong side of the Atlantic your opinion is invalid. As I've already said... Trialtech! I've been running my Inspired forks (same manufacturing techniques used as for the TT's) for 9-10 months now I think and they're so stiff and strong I don't think I'd ever bother using anything other than Trialtech or Inspireds again.

Is there actually anything wrong with the brake or any reason to completely strip, flush, replace all the seals and rebleed?

Bothered?

Venhill used to be/are the UK importers for Magura and deal with warranty claims. However, 05 Magura's levers will crack at that point simply due to it being poorly designed. If and when you get a replacement lever, take a dremel and round off that corner to remove the stress riser which causes levers to crack when used for trials. Or at least wait until the lever starts to crack then attack it with a Dremel which is what I've done.

Umm, no it isn't?

Sweet, cheers man!

I *think* I've got radical highs up in Scotland too. Will have a look for it next time I'm home. I've also somehow managed to lose my copy of MBUK with the article in and would definitely like to see a scan, Chris .

Yup. I can backwheel and sidehop as well as I could on my Monty 20" but can also manual, bunnyhop, spin etc far better. It just feels right for anything you throw it at.

I've got the Ashton one up in Scotland somewhere but I never saw Thibaut's show.

Your best bet is probably to try and track down a second hand Fresh Products or RB designs blade.

I hope that makes more sense to someone else... Here's mine a while back and I looooove it! Best frame/bike I've ever owned for sure. Also some more recent ones in action: link.

And there goes the neighbourhood.

Gotta be the German Shepherd... foxes are really quite small.

The winner of each program went on to a weird game thing at the end where you used a mallet to hit foam blacks out from the bottom of a stack, you had to keep the stack standing and the final one was worth 5k. I went all numpty and messed up the 5k one. Martyn Ashton got the 5k but can't remember who else...

£2.5k... not bad for a minute and a half's riding! Still kick myself that I should've won the full £5k but it was a crazy, crazy day and I really shouldn't complain! Was gonna point out Danny at the start but thought I'd see if anyone recognised him! You look so young!

Biketrials is an extension of motorbike trials which itself was an extension of 'scrambling'. Read this for the history of biketrials.

Ok, ok, I'm worthless.
