  1. Sorry to dig this thread back up but I'm in need of some new trainers for riding in, thinking of trying caged pedals soon and looking at getting some 6.0 air zoom's off ebay. Anyone wear 6.0's with caged pedals?? I currently have a pair of stan smiths and ride with trialtech platforms and the grip is awful on them, the sole is far too hard and the tread pattern doesn't really lend itself to pedals from what I can see, probably why my legs are f****d!
  2. Yep got my last few sets of pads from Steve within a few days, no problems whatsoever!
  3. If you make a stack whats the best way to hold them together or don't they need it? And you often see them with a piece of wood in the top, is that just screwed/nailed in or is it best to fill the hole in the middle with soil/gravel/etc first then put the wood on top??
  4. Quality app as it covers local radio as well, love it!
  5. I was dubious and thought I'd have a go at work one day when I had to strip my brake down and it worked a treat. definately recommend!!
  6. Don't think there's any dates set yet for next year but I assume they'll use all the same locations as this year so have a look on http://www.biketrialuk.co.uk/Events.htm. I'm going to aim for hopefully a full season of Tyke and national rounds next year depending on how they fall with my shifts, can't wait for it though I may do one set of events on mod and one on stock to see how I compare!
  7. Me too, was gonna enter the Tyketrial but my baby is due the day after so might be cutting it a bit too close. Was a bit wary of going to Shipley but got away with it, don't want to risk that again!!
  8. Very nice videos, especially enjoying the Hadouken track on the first! Will look forward to a proper video from you when you've finished playing around with the effects, they're looking good so far!
  9. I think I deserve a sponsor for promoting, ahem, 'veteran trials'???
  10. Hiya mate, I'm not too far from you (other side of Buxton) and as far a natural goes I believe the best places are probably Matlock quarry and I think there's some good riding near hathersage. If you have a search of the rides forum you'll find the directions if I remember rightly. Hope that helps you a bit!
  11. Gutted I just got some fresh heatsink material as I'd have liked to try some phatpads, they were looking very good in them winners only gold backings on sunday! Roughly how long till the phluid is released as I'll definately give that a try?!
  12. Aye good old 11's! Will get them cleaned up and then fixed up with my RB lever, saves me having to go without a brake for a few days!
  13. Well I went at it, lever blades and calipers have been removed, crappy plastic lever bodies disposed of with the hosing which is definately well past it. Will bring some paint stripper and brake cleaner in tomorrow night and get them looking nice again. The joys of being bored!
  14. Will give this a try this week then after a few practice grinds!
  15. As I'm on nights again this week I get very bored so need something to do at work. I plan on bringing some old rims in at some point to practice grinding them but also I came across my old blue maguras in my dads garage. Purchased for about £10-15 each all of 12 years ago I really don't care if they went in the bin and they nearly did but I thought is it worth giving them a clean up again? The paints pretty knackered on them and the evo clamps are only fit for the bin but is it worth stripping them down, quick clean up with some nitromors on the calipers and maybe saving the lever blades for something. I run 05's at the moment which means the levers are no good to me really but could the calipers be saved and is it worth it??
  16. Stick at it, it won't all come back to you in an instant believe me!

    Get2

    Anyone know where I can get a copy of or watch the first GET??
  18. I might have some in my tool box, if not I've definitely got an old set of clamps at my dads so I can get one out of them you can have as I'll never need them? Will have a look in a minute an post on here! EDIT: Just realised that I'm using the ones that came with my EVO2 kit for my +20 disc brake adaptor on my mod though like I said I should still have a spare knocking about from my old EVO1 clamps so will try and dig them out!!
  19. Yeah that'd be fine, it'll just be like running some standard clamps that way!

    Get2

    Strange you should say that as I use my PS3 for all my dvd's and when I put GET2 in it always starts on the outtakes section no matter where I stopped it. Works fine other than that though!
  21. I only get out for a few hours a week so there's no worries there!
  22. Looking very nice, makes me wanna get a Meta myself!
  23. If you can hang on till your validated you'll have no problems finding a bike on here with that much, otherwise keep your eyes on ebay!
  24. Saw one of the new Onzas today and I can say that it looked very very nice!
