  1. My dropper is the same make and model, it's been modified though to give more positions and gets stripped and regreased every month, it's only a 5 min job. Mine does have a very slight side to side play but it's nothing I can't handle. Only paid £30 for it off a guy on Facebook

    US holiday alone

    Don't do it on your own, America is a fooking big place and is not as easy to get along with folk as they make out the telly. The touristy bits are ok and quite friendly but normal rural America is a bit less so. Stick to the populated areas and you should be ok
  3. New steed time. The GT frame was cracked, I had it welded up but it was still creaking, so I suspect it was cracked somewhere I can't see. Picked up a Titus El guapo frame and shock for £100. Been for a test ride today, it's unbelievable. So stable and planted, and climbs a damn sight better than the GT. It feels a lot more comfortable to ride, the geo is a lot more relaxed and less twitchy, and doesn't feel like it's gonna chuck me over the bars on a descent
  4. Dents and cracks mainly, and the hub/freewheel doesn't skip. trials bikes are going to be scratched due to the nature of the sport. Other than that it'll be the same really
  5. Get the first one. Will last you loads longer than the other two, has a better spec, will be easier to ride, probably lighter. Get a 110x35 stem on and it should suit your height perfectly
  6. It's a k type mech hanger, I got one for my mtb off the BETD website, cnc'd alloy as opposed to pressed out. Loads stronger
  7. Charlie Rolls has just signed for crossbow, backed up by hope technology
  8. Yes George lad. Congratulations mate. Best thing that ever happened in my life. My lad is now 7
  9. Bloody hell lad. Is 60+ inches not high enough like?
  10. I call bullshit. She's gotta be an Airedale special

    The Angry Thread.

    Don't go then, it is multiple choice. Although I suspect a lot less tolerant of your ways in the big smoke
  12. No it won't. They way they measure them is completely different. For example early DH riders used 21" moto trials inner tubes back when 26" nokian gazzalodi's were in fashion. Seriously heavy but you'd never puncture one, and could get away with about 15psi
  13. Yohan triboulat doesn't think so http://www.facebook.com/tz250bloke/posts/10203716362464125

    Herbalife is nothing but a massive Ponzi scheme, and it's not even a very clever one
  15. Stephen for the win. Cheeky cross up and a very cheeky crank flip. Love a good crank flip
  16. 1.4 diesel fiesta. £30 to tax. 450 miles to £40 diesel. I win

    The Angry Thread.

    Yes there was. One of the gnat display team. Pilot is dead
  18. Trialtech 130x25, or if your reach is huge , any 150x30 and some decent highrise bars, again trialtech or jitsie
  19. On the 'semi' DH bit. Where you go down the ramp and the track splits off into two. Aaron (stuntman terry) went left, I went right, Mark (lad above) followed me, and he washed the front wheel out on the second rocky drop, just after it had started raining. Me and Aaron had got to the bottom, and he wasn't there, so we walked back up and went back in to see him laid on the floor with his wrist at a horrible angle. He got knocked out as well because he said he couldn't remember anything for a bit after, didn't remember us finding him
  20. I'd bend it just by riding it out of the garden
  21. So, a load of us went riding to sherwood pines yesterday, all trials riders who dabble in mtb bar one lad, and one of them had a bit of an off He's currently in Scunthorpe hospital awaiting surgery, suspect he needs plates a a screws. Gonna be a lengthy lay off the bike for this one
  22. Where's the rocky riding spot by the sea? It looks amazing

    Hubs

    Don't get a profile, notorious for driver rings spinning in the hub shell

    Fill the twat in. Drinking a mans ale is unacceptable

    Hubs

    Do you really want to take the risk of it breaking? I'd rather spend the money and have 100% confidence and reliability, and hopes legendary warranty/customer service
