I know, I know. It's hard being this funny you know. Oh, wait, I wasn't even trying to be remotely humorous. I really must be funny.

You, sir, are a dick. This thread's really going somewhere now. In.

No idea. Dave should be able to tell you! Although I haven't heard many good things about any half link chains... But anyway- 18/15 will be too spinny. Look at the gearinches: Stock: 18/15 gives 31.2 gearinches (or whatever the hell it's called) 24": 18/15 gives 28.8. Spinny. 18/14 will give you 30.86 which is about right and 18/13 gives 33.23 which is stiff but if you want a more BMXey/streety build is a good bet. I can still sidehop my bike nicely and backwheel high but can also get up a bit of speed when needed.

Music = . 'Yeeesssss Daaannnnyyyy' (especially when said after not getting near a dropgap) = . Throwing bike = . Meh.

You type like Danny Kearns When he's Angry. Anyway, I think we should start a petition to get fancy hydroformed tubes on the Limey 20". Plain tubes are soooo 2007.

You'll probably find the 15T far too spinny for streety type riding Mr Shrewsbury. I'm running 18/13 which is a bit stiff and have a 14T which is about perfect. Do you want to run without any kind of tensioner? That is you need info on half link chains?

Alvis of some description?

Sorry but that's got absolutely nothing to do with football at all. Gosh.

Will be at the funeral but not going to go to the pub afterwards. Don't want to intrude on the family and close friends.

And Onza did it before then with the first style of T-Rex didn't they? Back in 2002/2003 sort of time. Maybe.

At least someone's grateful for my input .

Holy... you know, just... And I've only watched the first 5 minutes so far. Edit: Absolutely incredible riding and looks like you all have so much fun riding. Brilliant.

As has been said, reckon you're in the wrong place! I guess it depends what you mean by classic... Real classic trials bikes tend to be pre 1965 twin shocks... yours is just old school!

It's aaaalllll about Trialtech rims. 38mm wide and would be perfect for the sort of riding you're describing, especially if you need the extra strength of an undrilled rim. Well worth a look .

But they won't have any sweet looking hydroformed tubing?

Click me.

I think it was a completely valid question. You say 'the black bit' and post a link to a tensioner which is entirely black except for one bolt. If you explained which 'black bit' you're talking about maybe I could help instead of getting all defensive for no reason. So lets try again. Which black bit do you mean? If you mean the small loose black bit which is to use the tensioner with a quick release skewer you might be able to bodge it on with a standard QR end and some washers.

What do you mean by the black bit? The whole thing's black!

The courses you want to do are very heavy on maths and as such I don't think you'll be able to get straight onto any of them with vocational qualifications. However, as Ben says, a lot of Universities do 'foundation years' which give you the required footing in maths/physics etc to then go on to do the actual degree.

Now... Hands up who wants a mototrials bike now?!

Woo, an XC course. Yay. Anyone else planning to go on holiday for a month when the games are actually happening? I can't think of a worse place to hold the Olympics than where you live...

Veerrryyy nice build . Good job.

Stewie and iamwellcool also reported requesting a permaban and IP check.

That back end ain't standard... is it?! Back end should look like this:
