  1. Aye, nowt special, pretty comfortable getting up it without thinking about tucking like a madman
  2. Fackinell... seriously awesome mate . 180 between the benches
  3. Ah, trago mills... the choice of champions For anyone who's interested, from the 24th Lidl will be selling non slip tape: Link 99p for 3m which could*be applied to any rails in your town to make for all weather riding * The vandalism (or modification in any way) of public property is not condoned by trials-forum.
  4. Yeah, but I guess with 26" length and 100mm travel they'd start to screw up the geometry... plus the extra kilo you'd be lifting all the time.
  5. Those 24" specific forks are only available with a 20mm bolt through axle unfortunately... I've already looked into them However I expect you can get conversion kits but the front hub will still end up a bit chunky I'd have thought. Does anyone have any info on the 24" forks that Ashton was running on his bike last Summer? They were Rock Shox but I can't find any info on them... or are they just standard 26" forks? Edit:
  6. Hehe, sorry Steve I meant that all to be more constructive criticism but it just seems to be all negative... The overall look of the bike is cool and I like the thought that's gone into the brake setup but as they say 'The Devil's in the detail' and at the end of the day all of my points are effectively aesthetic with the possible exception of the gussets but maybe I'm just making that up! Look forward to seeing some pimped out full builds on here soon Dave
  7. Going to have to go against the grain here... I'm just not keen on the frame... Obviously I'm completely biased towards my Inspired which I love more than any bike I've ever owned... but I don't like the dropouts (too simple/large/ugly in my opinion), the CNC BB yoke (where it joins the chainstays it doesn't look like it's quite right, like the two weren't designed to join like that. Plus the trianglular lightening hole which looks like it should be rectangular with filleted corners/oval to remove more material), the booster/nameplate type thing on the seatstays (again too simple/large/ugly almost like an afterthought), even the gussets aren't to my liking (my understanding is that gussets should be open ended rather than welded all the way round...). Ah well, can't please all the people all of the time and I've no doubt that it'll be a winner and with geometry like that it will lend itself to anything from street/trials to park, dirt jumping and duel. Sorry, I'm obviously in a scarily picky mood!! All the best, Steve.
  8. Not keen on the Heatsink... Obviously I'm completely biased towards my Inspired which I love more than any bike I've ever owned... but I don't like the dropouts, the CNC BB yoke, the booster/nameplate type thing on the seatstays, even the gussets aren't to my liking (my understanding is that gussets should be open ended rather than welded all the way round...). Ah well, I love my Inspired and so does everyone else who's bought one. You won't regret it
  9. Twas a good day. I very nearly didn't bother turning up because of the weather but very glad I did. Good to meet a few new faces and finally ride Oxford... It's only taken me about 6 years... Dave (White Inspired)
  10. Never seen that- some seriously sweet riding there.
  11. Stuart Powney took most of them I think... Luke- feel free to add my YouTube vids to the site if you want. Don't know if you want to keep them comp based or what though. Also, the entry fee's now £9 isn't it, rather than £8? Good stuff though
  12. Yeah I know what you mean. To be honest, I'm not convinced with the brakeless thing. Don't get me wrong, it's good to see something new and different, but is it really trials? Very BMXey and in the end pretty darn cool but at the same time being brakeless must restrict things so much surely? There was a lot of filler too. Ah well, still some impressive and innovative riding. Dave P.S. I thought he was running 29" wheels when I first saw it- looks really strange to me for some reason!
  13. Gah!!! Swapped to a laptop with annoyinghorribleTunes and it's going to take an hour to download!! Will edit when I get it... [/rant]
  14. Cool, no worries John. Apple just makes me angry sometimes
  15. Thanks again for the comments guys. And lol at Scopse
  16. Bitorrent thingy's still confuse me. I use emule for some stuff but am quite happy paying for the proper DVD's when it comes to Nitro Circus... worth supporting the cause
  17. I picked up a copy of MagicISO from somewhere which does the trick perfectly.
  18. Cheers Ben. Maybe I should leave the next one to you though!
