  1. That seems like a really small squad... I thought there were usually 20+ riders who rode the Worlds?
  2. Do you see what you've done wrong there John? You took some of the components off before painting. Can't be classed as ghetto unless the whole thing is poorly painted including bars/stem/tyres etc... Looks like fun!!
  3. I'm running some on my Inspired no and they seem to be fine. Good bite, kinda noisy and work much better than my old Onza Citrus's.
  4. What are you running at the moment? I have some random cassette cogs kicking about which may be of use but they're all standard thin ones rather than wide based trialsy ones... Don't think I'm gonna be able to come tonight- GF's asked me to come down to Corfe Castle camping to help set up for a Duke of Edinburgh expeditiony thing. Will see what I can do.
  5. What gear are you running at the back? Might be worth dropping a tooth so you can remove a link from the chain... that's what I did on the 24"- felt weird to start with but soon got used to it. Reckon it might need a spray though Andy... The blood red's cool but they were all that colour so I reckon go for something a little different. Catch you later fella.
  6. Balls. I need a new passport then 'cos I really thought I lived in the UK. Oh yeah, and if it's the clamp that's snapping 5 times over, it's your bad Mr Leacock...
  7. Sounds like a bad bleed to me. Wind the adjuster right out and bleed again...
  8. How the hell did you get glass in your rim tape?!
  9. Try sending them direct to Venhill with a covering letter and see what they say. Seeing as 99% of magura rim brakes are used by trials riders they must have some experience with dealing with failures. Don't expect miracles but it can't hurt to ask.
  10. Why do people keep posting these threads? Take the pictures, upload the pictures then make the thread... These are as illogical as women. Edit: Nice pics . Some cool angles going on there. Really annoyed I couldn't make it this year.
  11. What rear hub's that? Having to run a lot of spacers to get the caliper in the right place from the looks of it?
  12. Please paint the forks...
  13. Have you read some of the comments for that vid?!!
  14. Yes it was his error but McLaren should've been on the radio when he was in his box telling him that the pack were coming round and that he'd more than likely have to stop at the end of the pit lane to allow the procession to pass... But yeah, bit of a numpty moment from Lewis!
  15. I was just going on colour Plus the fact Joe's sponsored by Trialtech...
  16. Trialtech mag pedals in green... for the win
  17. Whoa... That comment wasn't aimed at anyone in particular and if anything, after the trouble of last year, it's Fred and Barbara's series that has been doing everything right and the official BIU series (i.e. 'those in leading roles') that needs to play catch up a bit. The comment comes on the back of the previous two Hampshire rounds which had the lowest attendance I've ever seen. I was discussing that with Terry and thought that part of the reason for that was all the trouble last year- kids who might've considered doing some comps just not bothering because of all the politics that can (and has) come into it. Instead they're going out and sidehopping walls... I stand by what I said as trials is such a small sport that there isn't room for the continuing in-fighting and separate series'. But is there a limit to the size of the team? There are certain riders, like Ali (along with Andrei, Danny Butler, Ben Savage/Slinger, Porter etc etc), who I wouldn't think need to prove themselves in 'qualifiers'... Everyone knows they're of World standard already... As you say though, I'm removed from this process because I've never (and never will) take trials seriously enough to go that far. It's always been a hobby to me rather than a sport and I ride purely for fun. Anyway, sorry if anyone took offence at my comments, they weren't meant to point fingers or make anyone quit the sport, just point out that the qualification process seems quite flawed and unfair to people who everyone knows are World class.
  18. You suck. I nearly lol'd. Nearly. At least post a trials vid.
  19. I've still got one of these in the garage- really liked it. Have now moved onto a 90 x 15 degree Easton. Both work really well on the bike. That's run with 15mm stackers and 2" rise EA30 bars.
  20. Just a minute... you've had the bike since the 8th of April and you've only just taken it out? What's wrong with you?!!
