http://www.curtisbikes.co.uk/trials24.htm has all the info get that vid out :turned:

haha you slag. they're immense int they! :turned: http://www.curtisbikes.co.uk/trials24.htm now has all the info and more pics of another T24 - Dan Slyfield's ( (i)ndividual clothing ) which I believe he got yesterday. christ i've spent all day updating that site! :)

i'll be there all 4 days :- anyone who's up there on the thursday might get to see me driving round the carpark / the bikeshow hall in ma car with some nice use of the handbrake on the slippy floor again :)" :turned:

steve...it was partly jon's (shrews') advice and somethin i worked out when i got my frame. the front end would be way too low without muchos spacers. the 24inch wheel drops the front end by an inch so i have 2 x 10mm spacers and a 5mm making an inch. i used to have about 10mm spacers so it's actually still a bit lower. can always play about with it if you leave it too long but once you shorten it..you can't change it! thats wat i thought sorry jon... :D one rider is all we can afford. would be nice to have a riding buddy though :) blue and green should never be seen :) lol nah. howies have stopped making stickers they said a while ago (or they just don't send me any!!) so i don't have any to put on. can't say i'm too bothered though :)"

I'm pretty sure the wheelbase is about 1025 and my biggest tap it at least half that :)

haha well i rode it in the street whilst my mate was sorting his bike out and we were gettin in the car to ride bristol. and since he can set brakes up for shit and took ages lol - i thought i'd take some pics quickly :angry: o yea and..it was either use these forks and test them for dan or not ride at all. and since i'm more about the riding and not wat my bike looks like i decided to use them :angry: after bashing around bristol today i'd say it was worth it

Nah...it's only the front one which is uber long just cos i'm too inept to cut it down for fear of f**king it up. haha When I get my new forks and blag up some Hope maggie hosing for the back i'm gonna put it through my steerer for barspin/tailwhip action ye. Just leaving it like that for now :blink:

I have a KMC thin chain (off supercycles..it's to be run with gears) How do I go about joining it? I have got these connecter links..so I shorten it then put these on to join it? Or can i do away with these and join it at a male/female end with black pins that are already in there? Wanna know which is the more common / stronger way of doing it cos I don't wanna end up with a dodgy chain. Cheers Boon(e)

Lol yeh..on the 2nd pic up from the bottom there is a grind plate there but the light/paint/angle hides it a bit. Haha I hate all the graphics on the seattube too i'm ditchin em right away. Just had it like that for photos for the site :lol:"

Hello Just got this today..sorry it's not very helpful and just looks like a standard frame :lol: The first 24 inch trials frame from Curtis, my sig model etc etc. MTB back end, LH grind plate, Canti bosses. Here are a few quick pics of it Haven't quite got the bits to build it yet (wheels arrive tomorrow) but I should have it up together by the end of the week so i'll bust some pics out then Thought you might wanna see it anyway :lol: Goodo Matt Curtis

hey guys i picked up my forks from dan on saturday on the bristol ride. i thought i would post my review of them because you might wanna hear about them. i've had these for at least a day, and i've had them in my room looking - and i have to say they seem really stiff!! i've set my disc brake on them and pushed them around my floor with a wheel in..they aint going nowhere. i reckon you'll get a good years use out of them easy, for the harshest of riders all in all, great forks 11/10 :)

i was gonna go... but it's the jibjam (which i'm filming for my dvd) that nite which doesn't end til like 12pm and although in newport going overnight through darkest wales doesn't seem worth it :blink: damnit

funnily enough that was the most enjoyable video i've seen probably ever. reminds me to dig out the old Ot Pi dream video! Scatman John..what a ledgend.

i saw the last like...60. were charlie chalk & big bertha in it anywhere? they should have been near the top :blink: but simpsons/family guy

tank size = 43 litres (9 gallons) cost to fill = about £33 miles per tank = 245 90% of which was at motorway cruising speed of 100mph miles per gallon = 27 i had the same problem as u prawn mate. i just worked that out on the weekend cos i drove up north and on the way up i thought the petrol was goin down uber fast. so i reset the counter and got 245 out of my tank. seems 27mpg isn't too bad for a 1200 clio :("

ow the fuk do u get on for that line? bench > rail > rail or rail > rail or just rail? looks well good

banksy lives in bristol..he has a house on stokes croft which is head to toe in street art. good as hell
