  1. If you go for a shit beforehand I reckon you could get 200 👍
  2. Been waiting for the cheeky link to appear 🤣 Banned!
  3. To the North?! 🤣
  4. What did you go for in the end? Never got any info off my lad, he's as forgetful as me 😅

    Flat pedals

    Bit of a random one but chatting to a lad my son works with at True North Cycles and he put me on to some new cheapish sealed flat pedals so I bought a set for my unicycle. Now I always associated Oxford with motorcycle locks and clothing but these are ridiculous, got them for £26 as well! The pins are really grippy and the pedals themselves are nice and big and flat. Think I'm gonna pick up another set for my On One as well if not my Python also, definitely recommend if anyone is on the lookout for new pedals!
  6. I'd personally go with the Hex, I need bikes with a long reach and have had numerous 24's but no matter what the setup I never felt properly comfortable on them (thats not to say tall people don't work on them I just never could). The Hex can be equally as spinny as a 24 as well so you won't lose out there.
  7. That skinny rear triangle makes those tyres look like they're straight off a fat bike!
  8. Finally after months of searching managed to get hold of another semi decent 29er unicycle. Prices have gone ridiculous (the exact same build 29er muni I paid £180 delivered for about 8yrs ago is now £480!) but blagged this for £120 as I wasn't in a rush for the guy to post it. Bonus as well as it came with Tensile V brake adapters I can sell!
  9. Can land on some occasional bargains, there were a few GT full sus ebikes a few months back for £2500-2600 as GT been having problems so everything got reduced but yeah generally. Plus the full fat full sus bikes are absolute tanks, my lads Merida is a monster compared to the carbon half fat Heckler they've got as a demo bike but again the prices are ridiculous. Will see if him or his boss have any suggestions or what to avoid
  10. You can get two types they refer to as either full fat or half fat, that Giant looks like a full fat bike but as it's a hardtail it doesn't matter as much as you've not got the extra weight from the rear suspension to deal with. Can ask my lad what the motors are like as he works with ebikes a lot, that would be the deciding factor for me or can see what he'd recommend based on your budget, definitely don't want to go full sus?
  11. It's a hard life working in a bike shop apparently. My eldest who's 17 was given this by one of the distributors yesterday to ride for a few months cause he had it in his van... https://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/trail/optic/24-optic-C1/ (ignore the semi renovated hallway, it's only been 11 months 😅)
  12. You might get away with just squeezing them in
  13. Just use superglue/Cyanoacrylate whenever I've done them in the past
  14. Just spotted an ancient clip on the latest Fail Army, anyone identify the rider? (I'm assuming a Paul Mitchell but the name doesn't ring a bell)
  15. Gonna bump this up cause it's easily one of my favourite trials vids ever. I'm 42 now and would have given anything to have had a group of friends like this back in the day.
