Nah this is trials chat!

Well the Inspired have been ordered now, just another small item towards finishing my build!

They aint got the dmr zip grips in stock anyway at the mo, now just gotta figure out what to tell the wife when a parcel arrives

71 views and only 7 votes?! Where's the love, still decision has been made, cheers all!!

Thats the spirit!

Not fussed if anyones tried em, as I haven't myself but all bit like old renthal grips I had on my trials motorbikes so should be fine. Just can't make ma mind up as to lock on, cable tie or just which looks coolest in general! Oh yeah, and I hate the feeling of foam, goes through me

Right, I'm so bored at work that I'm gonna buy my rear sprocket and new grips. I'm going for a Trialtech Sport screw on 15t sprocket but I can't decide between the grips so I'm putting my money in your hands. Will run a poll with the 3 that I'm considering and the winner by 4.30pm shall be purchased, yes, I'm that bored! Let the vote begin! Here's links to them at tarty so everyone can see what they look like if you don't know DMR Zip Grips DMR LOCDD Inspired Lock On

I never thought I'd say this but I really hate the snow at the moment!

Nice one and welcome!

I'm stuck at work till 7 and my bike is in bits is my excuse!

Just what I was going to say, your either gonna have to get the Tensile offset mounts and adapt them to fit the evo adaptors or shave say 2.5-3mm off each pad, that should work and still give you plenty of meat on the pads. Other than that its disc time!

There can be only 2 and Dirt was a pure classic and the guy on the cover actually died not long after it was made after crashing his Harley not far from here. He was called Jason Mcroy an was a proper mtbing hero as well, check his website at www.jasonmcroy.com, be impressed if you can get hold of Dirt as was a freebie vid on MBUK in the early 90's an very rare now. Think they wanted to reproduce it on dvd but were struggling to get hold of the master copy to burn them from!

Read the rules

For that amount you could start from scratch and build your own bike up, thats what I'd do if I had the spondoolies at hand!

Thats an old trick, get an old inner tube, cut it open an line your tyre with it, really good for stoppin pinch flats! Might help a bit but its not very strong that way, its strength is how sticky it is. Remember my old rockhopper I could guarantee at least 1 puncture a day no matter how small the things I rode, turned out to be a problem with the rims as once I switched them the problem went away!

Too right, remember snipping the teeth of my middle chainring to use as makeshift bashguard until my dads mate could make me summat out of stainless! Still got it as well I think in ma dads garage, gonna have a look tomorrow night when I finish work. He made me a bashring for using smallest chainring and one for using middle as well for when I was riding quite far! Yeah that prob was us, round about 98/99. Used to ride a lot in Whaley as thats where 3 of my mates lived and my cousin lived in New Mills so used to bod about round there an down the Torrs! I found an old mavic wheel in my mates shed he said I could have, lasted bout 2 days before I pretzelled it sidehopping off a 5ft wall so I took the STX-RC hub an had it built into a new wheel! Proper budgeteering!!

Whatever takes your fancy, no rules regarding what you should and shouldn't have. My mate used to ride with a leopard print one, an I always wanted a union jack seat!!

Aye, I started on a 13" Rockhopper, my cousin on a mk1 Azonic DS1, two of my mates on old 14" Zascar and one on a 14" Kona! Proper oldskool, make it up as you go along!!

Here's the pics, poor quality as taken with my iphone!

Come on mate its not hard, magura website, downloads, instruction manual, job done! http://www.magura.com/uploads/media/downlo...rakes__09_E.pdf

Aluminium differs greatly, remember showing a stem I snapped to a guy who used to work as an engineer for Mercedes and he saw what was wrong with it straight away, if its made cheaply the compound isn't smooth and thats when things snap. Look at the surface where the forks snapped and see if the metal looks good or all bubbled an horrible, that'll show you the quality of the materials.

Surely its just street bmx then? Not being a fan of bmx I can't be sure!

I'd have dropped him aswell!!

This is quite true! Boo, hiss, read the rules, this is no place for advertising, ban him, etc, etc......

Should have nutted him on the basis that he'd grabbed your bike and was probably gonna nick it. Then sell your story to The Sun, I can see it now, Police no longer required after brave cyclist tackles 7ft 18st mugger!
