  1. Possibly the worst ever reply in the history of man, no offence. 26" is the diameter of the wheel so that makes no difference whatsoever to how wide the rim is, all rims are made to different widths there is no industry standard you plonker! In answer to the question however you need some tensile offset mounts my good man, they should sort you out!!

    The Boat That Rocked is an awesome film, full of quality tunage as well!
  3. Yeah that'd cover you for a stock but I'd change the rims for some echo tr's or maybe trialtech rims, if you've ridden before then I'd definately recommend a disc on the front but you can pick them up 2nd hand on here and ebay from £30-£55 for a mint one!
  4. I'm disgusted, get out!!!!!!
  5. Give your rims a good clean and maybe the brake blocks as well, may have just got some lube or grease on them when you were sorting the cranks out.
  6. Good to see a zoo that isn't bloody chrome! Though I think you got the red idea off me!!
  7. I reckon so, click on the pic on this link and see what you think but it looks like it to me! http://www.onza.com/v2/products/2009/rip/rip.html
  8. Whats your budget for your build? I've just built up a 07 python so I've got some recommendations for parts but it all comes down to the amount of cash available. If your just starting trials then you want to be looking more towards strength over light parts to begin with as you'll probably be bashing it about a bit as you learn stuff. As a half decent spec starter bike here's what I'd recommend; Forks - echo urbans disc + maggie mount headset - fsa pig stem - trialtech race forged bars - 2nd hand zoo risers wheels - echo urban rims, echo TR hubs (front disc hub), double butted spokes tyres - maxxis creepy crawlers bottom bracket - either echo tr isis or try all isis cranks - trialtech sport forged freewheel - echo sl rear cog - any really but I use a trialtech chain - trialtech z610 brakes - magura hs33 front and rear, echo tr clamps, heatsink yellow pads pedals - depends whether you like caged or platform so either echo tr caged or trialtech race platform bashring - again thats purely personal preference of what you like the look of but the tartybikes ones are good snailcams - echo tr Bearing in mind this list is mainly based roughly on my own build as I have only just got into riding a mod but I find it to be a good spec for starting, as you get better and break stuff swap it for for higher quality/lighter kit. And I've put disc and maggie forks as it may be a good idea to start with a front magura as starting with a disc you might find yourself hitting it a lot when you learn to sidehop up stuff whereas a magura wouldn't have that problem and again you've got the option to upgrade at a later date thanks to the forks and hub! You should also be covered for riding street as well as a bit of natural with this build. Hope this helps you out mate and I've not completely bored you reading it!!
  9. With that much money I'd wait till validated then probably buy a good condition 2nd hand frame then buy everything else new. I did that with my python and it only cost me about £350-450 and its as good as a brand new bike!
  10. It's here matey if you fancy having a trip down http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=torrs+new+mills&fb=1&gl=uk&hq=torrs&hnear=New+Mills,+High+Peak,+Derbyshire&cid=0,0,754648687629281701&ei=GD9UTN-WEo-RjAeyk_3DBA&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=1&ved=0CBYQnwIwAA
  11. Don't you mean raceline yellows?? The yellows were the original maguras, but if you do mean the green ones they were a limited edition model they did years ago.

    Naked woman kicking ass?? Or topless darts?!
  13. I had exactly the same problem with mine and all I did was clear everything off and re-sync it and never had a problem since so it could be knackered. May be worth getting an appointment with one of the tech blokes at your nearest apple store.

  15. I've always run 36psi in my tubes and they still bottom out on the edges of walls or railings but have never pinched (yet!)
  16. I've just ordered myself a set so I look forward to seeing how they go!
  17. The only 2 downside for me, loving everything else on the build though! And whats the wheelbase on that as it may just be me but it looks tiny on that first pic! The colour scheme reminds me of dodgy raleighs from the 80's and 90's!
  18. Off topic but are you from stockport or just around there? I live in Chapel en le Frith which is bout 20 mins away if you've heard of it? There's nothing to stop you taking a bike on the train as far as I'm aware as long as it has a carriage (spelling?) for luggage and bikes. As for riding spots near stockport the only one I know is in New Mills down by the river called The Torrs, where an old mill used to be, some alright spots down there!
  19. If your unsure bout the yellows or you don't like them I'll take em off your hands!!
  20. It is more moto than cycle but its not a bad read. The guy who started it has always been a moto trials rider and I think he's trying to appeal to the younger market who also ride cycle trials aswell. No harm in getting a copy and seeing what you think, its always worth having a read and then sending them some feedback, they may get more cycle trials in if they know the markets there!
  21. If he's gonna buy the one on it off you then why not!
  22. How good are you on your back wheel? Can you backhop on the spot for as long as you need to get setup right or are you more of a hop forward onto the edge of something and then gap off the end? If its the former then your better getting settled on the back wheel before you start trying to master big gaps so you can get comfortable and sort your preload out.
  23. Just one called Trial Magazine which is 50/50 moto and cyclo trials. http://www.trialmag.net/
