Kinell, will be checking mine out when I get home just in case now!

Exactly, if my bike ever gets nicked I'll kick my shed door in and claim on the home and contents!

I think you'd probably get away with it yeah if the repair is done by an experienced welder.

Just had a quick google search and a policy to cover a bike valued at £500 including competative use with like for like replacement of parts under a year old (they knock 10% off for each additional year), £1 million public liability insurance (in case you accidentaly hurt a 3rd party or damage someones property and they decide to take you to court), and a payout if you die or lose a limb is £70 a year for my postcode. Bearing in mind the theft cover only applies if your bike is locked through the frame to an immoveable object using an approved lock. It was £57 a year without the competing element and £40 without the competing or public liability! Hope this helps!

I've never considered it as I just wouldn't leave it outside a shop or somewhere unless it was well chained up and I knew the area, I'm lucky though as where I live is only a small town so not much crime like that but I still wouldnt trust anyone!

Welcome to yet another rider of the (nearly) oldskool!! I've just jumped back in after 10 years out and I'm loving it. Took me a good few weeks reading different posts and websites before I could get my head round all the new brands available and the ones which seem to have all but disappeared. Not really the best person to advise on bars, stems, etc as I'm still using my old Azonic world force risers and Specialized stem at the mo but I will highly recommend a step to running single speed and a FFW, easily the best choice I made when it came to rebuilding my bike with a front disc as a close 2nd!

im thinking wondered

9 gears??!! Shimano had only just got there heads round 8 speed cassettes when I was riding! Came across these earlier in my dads garage whilst looking for my old Blue Mountain Magura's to steal the koolstop pads out of! My first bash made by cutting the teeth off a middle chainring to go on my Shimano Altus C10 crankset and 2 that my dads mate machined for me out of stainless to go on my 4 arm STX-RC cranks as you couldn't even buy 5 arm bashrings at the time. Had one to run smallest chainring and one to run middle as well in the style of Mr Hans "No Way" Rey!

I spotted that as well! Still can't figure out what "worend" is supposed to mean though!

Kinnel, at that price you'd be better off buyin a new set of Trialtech cranks!

Very good riding and stuff like that gap to footjam was very impressive but brakeless still doesn't do much for me!

Could be worth a try as gotta order some wheels off them soon, think a good £200 order may encourage a bit of help!

Does anyone know if or where I can get replacement cups for my Try All bottom bracket??

How you gettin on with these??

Think I prefer the Ashton vid to Akriggs, recognise a lot of Ashtons riding spots from Chainspotting. Think Akrigg's vid was a pretty poor show with him only wearing a helmet right at the end, specially with all the get offs he has!

Will have to hang on a week or so now till I buy owt else as spent another £95 yesterday! As for you, I think you've got a serious problem! Alcoholics can't stop drinking, nymphomaniacs can't stop having sex, Muel can't stop building trials bikes!

The only thing a reckon's gonna sting me is the wheels, I know I could get some 2nd hand but would rather go for some brand new. Priced some up the other day on tarty website and I think they came to £175 + postage. Got forks, bars and freewheel sorted, just gotta get the rest but will be looking for front disc, cranks, stem and maybe rear maggie 2nd hand to keep costs down.

Aye here's a couple, bit poor quality as I've had to take them with my iphone which is pap!

Now I've cleaned all the sticker residue an stuff off with a bit of brake cleaner it looks pretty good. Gonna be put on the back burner till July's payday now though as I get my bonus then so will be able to splash out on most of the kit I need, may get it coated as I've got loads of time now. Absolutely love it though, just gotta justify with the wife why it's ok for me to splash out on all these new bike frames an parts when I've told her we can't afford to buy her any new clothes

Thats perfect cheers mate, can get it edited in gimp no problems! Gonna change the pitbull to say diddyb anyway, just needed something in high res to work from!

Cheers mehewd!

I had the same problem with my trialtech/tryall combo on my heavy tools when I first put it all together. Ended up buying the echo BB bolts as the tryall standard ones were too short cause you couldn't get the cranks on far enough, think they tightened on an extra 6-7mm over the course of the first 2 weeks I rode it!

Looking forward to seeing how this Echo one rides, should be here today with the rest of my kit needed and my frame (if I'm a very lucky boy) will be powder coated for the weekend so I can get everything swapped over!

Is there anyone on here who does custom stickers? Just asking as having a search revealed there was a lad and his dad who used to make them but there website is no longer in use so are they still going or is there anyone else who could help me??

Frame went in for powder coating this afternoon, fingers crossed it'll be done for the weekend so I can build it up before I start nights next week. I've gone for a nice dark blue, think its sapphire, just cant wait for it to be done!
