Kinell, best be a good birthday haul then!

Well I got my wheels ordered today, never realised when I was picking everything but gonna be a full Echo TR setup rims and hubs together. Just gotta wait a week till they're built up an sent out now and then I can get started on the drivetrain side of things. Not sure what to go for in terms of cranks, freewheels etc. as will depend on how much £$ I can blag for my b'day next month as I'm skint! Bloody mortgage

Bet it makes your brew taste better as well! Might have to get one, can never have too many mugs for brewin in

Nice one, should hopefully be orderin my wheels from you 1st thing monday then!

I've scoured the website and can't find any opening hours for phone orders, doesn't make much difference if I don't get my order in tomorrow but would like to know for future reference anyone?

Well I'm hoping to run a front freewheel all being well so will see what will fit where. Thanks for the opinions, think I'll make the change. Will save a good £50-60 on shifter, cassette, etc and a lot of fannying around setting gears up, one of my least favourite jobs!

I'll be ordering my wheels from tarty tomorrow and was talking to the old man before about how the bike build keeps coming up with things you forget about and the costs keep escalating (he's rebuilding his old Harley from scratch again) and he suggested doing it as a single speed instead of 6 to save a few quid. I'm a bit wary as never had a single speed before so wondering what the pros and cons are, and how will I know what gearing to run based on what gear I used to use before? I like the idea as it makes life a lot simpler but worried about burning money on multiple sized sprockets!

Not sure bout sorting the signal but have you jailbroken it yet? Can get all the apps for free then, er, not that I'd do anything illegal like that of course, ahem... (A)

Stick some filth on telly and enjoy some alone time? I would but I'm at work!

Remember when I was ridin an old bmx at my mums when I was about 12 and shinned myself on the caged pedals in shorts. Went inside to mop up, went back out an did it again! I gave up riding that crappy bike after that, had to cut a weird stringy bit off that was hangin out ma shin with some scissors, still got the scar 14 years later!

Never seen them tensile mounts mate thats a bonus. Thats that problem solved. And I would have had the rim off you but as I said earlier the wheels are gonna be paid for with a load of vouchers so with buying them mounts its not gonna save me much but cheers for the info and offer!

Right I've done some thinking (my brain hurts now) and I've come up with an idea. The brake blocks have around 7mm of surface so shave 2-3mm off each side, 36mm gap goes up to 40-42mm, order an Urban front for the rear and get a grind on it as well as that should make a difference if only a tiny one. Will it work?

Fair enough then mate I retract my comment. You should have a read about T-UK though, very dodgy 95% of the time from whats been said.

Trials UK? Wash your mouth out with soap young man!

Not bothered bout it lookin oldskool its just the frames in too good condition to warrant buying a new one. Only other problem I should have mentioned is I got vouchers for Tartys for chrimbo so need to be looking at them supplying the wheel build but if all else fails a 521 may have to be the answer

Right I got a new maggy on the back of my oldskool build as my olduns were buggered but I now face a problem. As my trials frame is an old one the rear spacing isn't wide enough for a trials rim. The spacing between the brake blocks is 36mm face to face and I was planning on running some Echo Urban rims, a front one on the back if needs be but sadly even that is too big (40mm!) so now I need some ideas. Can I run a front Echo TR on the rear which will just about squeeze in or should I grind some of the pad down to squeeze the Urban in although that won't leave me with much pad left. Don't wanna stick a disc on as I've bought the magura brand new and wanna run a 6 speed fixed rear hub which seem to be impossible to get with disc mounts. Any advice?

Too right, was hard enough explaining to my missus how normal trials worked, this was impossible cause I had no idea!

And in 5 years when you're doing this for a living and earning a mint remember us lads on here who believed in you!!!

If it was Jack Burnicle he's a legend!

5pm Eurosport 2 tonight there's Trials World Championship scheduled so would assume its that

Well all I can say is the new format they went with was a bit of a joke. Made it all far too complicated. Still a good night though and glad they showed dannys video at least, and I got to have a word with him when he was in the crowd after his interview.

Good luck with the build mate, and can't give you enough respect for having a go at (almost) making your own frame. Can't knock him too much guys, s'pose its more about the experience of doing it than will it work. In 5-10 years could be one of the top frame builders out there, everyone gotta start somewhere. On another note, i bet it snaps within a few hours, but if it does the next one won't!

Anyone know who is doing the half time show yet? Just hoping it don't snow anymore round here now before the weekend or its gonna be a bitch gettin there!

Had a go at me for comin up to say hi at a trial, thought it was a bit harsh cause I was only young at the time!
