You spotted one on ebay??

Anyone ride/ridden a slate II as there's something about them that I love, don't know what though. Are they for light, comp style riding only??

Hopefully get down there myself soon, pics looking good!

Plus fixing/replacing a FFW is so much less hassle than having to mess around with a freehub!

You could be right, I'm really good at blowing money on pointless things though! Going to a comp on Sunday so hopefully might meet a few more people and maybe have a feel of their bikes, only really looking at something brand new as I'm sure you'll know that getting older means birthdays and christmas are pointless. People buy you stuff just for the sake of it so I just get some tartybikes vouchers then at least I can get something I'll enjoy and use, I'll never be a big rider but I'd like to give it a go at least as won't have many more years left to really have a go!

Why not, Echo SL clamps come with CNC'd aluminium ones.

Looking and sounding good, can't wait to see the finished article! Any carbon going into this one??

Can't see how they can stop it being used on pay an go. Sounds like a strange plan to stop them as it's easy money for apple.

Simply download the firmware you require from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/. When it's downloaded you might have to change the file extension to .ipsw or do it before you click save. Then follow the instructions here www.deals-n-discounts.com/error-3194-on-restoring-3gs

They can be downgraded though really easily although it won't be long till 4.0.2 is broken anyway.

Not really new to it myself, used to ride years ago and started again before christmas but still on for learning stuff to front wheel and sidehops.

Anyone ridden a Born Ultimatum? I'm in the same boat here and looking at getting a new frame over christmas and looking at either the Born, Neon Bow 2.5 or FANS. Coming from an 06 Control so I know it's going to be very different to ride but I just don't feel right yet so thought I'd go for a hike in BB heights. Gonna hopefully have a feel of a few different geo frames soon so I'm more in the know of what I'm after but thought I'd see if there were any opinions on these. I've still got a lot to learn yet but I'm looking at doing comps on it next year and just general bits of street and the like. PS. Sorry to jump in on your thread but it saves me making another identical one!

Thats a hell of a lot more to ride than where I live, you should be grateful!!

Only problem there is I've been told the RB levers leak with a water bleed?? May have to stick with the standard hoses then, would have liked braided but can't afford a full magura kit!

That should be alright then, gonna take it off to bleed anyway as I need to give it a good flush out to clear all the water in there!

Right I should have my RB Designs lever arrive today and I plan to stick it on my mod as the current lever has been modified cause of the dreaded 05 crack. My plan is to get a rear braided hose set from Rock n Roll but I just wanted to check if fitting it is straightforward? Also as it is currently water bled I'll have to swap to an oil bleed cause of the lever so what bits will I need to bleed it, just some tube, a barbed fitting and a syringe?? Never bled a maggie with oil before so I wanna check I've got everything I need before I start!

First things first, for a case just go with any silicone one as I find they tend to be the best and least bulky, as for the screen I've had my iphone 3g for over a year now and with a poorer quality screen I've not manged to scratch it even when it's been dropped outside and just generally thrown about. Jailbreaking is easily reversed, just by restoring the phone with itunes and you can still back it up when it's jailbroken so no worries there. Not sure about the sms but I'd imagine it's definately possible, there must be a forum somewhere with instructions on it and there is definately an alarm clock, it's just in the standard clock function and works perfectly well with a snooze function as well! Hope this helps you out a bit.

I tried some inspired lock ons but wasn't impressed. They wore down to the plastic underneath very quickly, within about 2 months, and I couldn't get them done up tight enough either to not spin round. I just stick with some good old cheap ass echo rubber ones for now.

I'll go one better than that, Dirt with Jason McRoy!

Got my entry in!

Yeah acid is pretty pricey if you, ahem, pay for it but ejay can be picked up dirt cheap. Think a few years ago I got I think it was dance ejay 5 or 6 with a disc of thousands of samples for about a fiver from game. Have a look on ebay or amazon and see what there is. http://www.ejay-store.co.uk/catalog.html?pCatId=2735

It's the way forward, got my son a balance bike shortly after his 2nd birthday and I'm now looking at sorting him something with pedals and brakes after christmas. Gutted I can't get him a proper trials bike till he's at least 4-5 though!

How long do the trials usually last as I want to enter but going to be a 2hr journey home and I've got to be at work for 18.45. Probably have loads of time but just want to be sure before I get signed up as I don't want to have to leave early and not get finished!

Yeah that's about right, get your balance sorted both on 2 wheels and on the back wheel and you'll have a good base to start from. I've not got round to it yet but if you can try and get hold of some blue Euro pallets, maybe 6 or 7, to practice sidehopping up and stuff. Always useful for just messing round at home with if you haven't got time to go out anywhere!
