  1. sweet man, congrats. my missus would castrate me if i went anywhere near my bike on our wedding day... ...good job theres no wedding day on the horizon for us then hey :angry:
  2. :angry: mathew you have far more important parts to be buying than a fooking king hub!!! look at that bar and stem, oh and those cranks, forks, front wheel, branke pads.... get a profile if your intent on getting a new hub, you really dont need to go blow that kinda money on a king (N) (N) :)
  3. maybe thats the answer, its all the women in the UK who are to blame!!! :D
  4. but the railcard only costs £18 so over the 5 years you'll save £90. still a better deal than the £50 cash but a long way off your £140...
  5. if you book tickets 14+ days in advance you can make huge savings however if going to a london airport it may be cheaper to buy a standard price ticket, i'll explain: 14 day advance. return to lonond young persons normally costs £45 fro north wales, if you book 2 singles (one each way) 14+ days in advance it will cost you £9.30 each way. now a normal adult return costs over £70 so by using a YP card and booking early you'll save over £50!!! airports - like i said above booking early gets you cheap tickets howver you can't get cheap tickets that include underground conections so you have to pay for them. if going from north wales to london stansted its £9.30 here to euston, £2.50 (?) each way on the tube and then £23(?) from liverpool street to stansted. thats £48(at least) and you have to que to buy tickets twice during each journey aswell as buying tickets online. if you buy a standard YP from llandudno to london stansted it includes the underground and the one from liverpool st to stansted and only costs £43.50. so save yourself some hassle and some money and get the normal ticket. open return tickets - one that most people are un aware of, you can break your return journey as many times as you like so long as it is completed within the 1 month on the ticket. that means if you get an open return from llandudno to manchester you can stop off at chester on the way home for a ride and then stop at rhyl for another ride. it also means if its been stamped byt the manchester train but not the chester to llandudno one you can hitch to chester and use the return bit to get home (Y) hope thats all clear enough, scam those b*****d train companies for all their worth but dont get caught without a ticket in a pentaly fair area or you'll pay them back all the money you saved by bending their own rules :D
  6. thats what i mean, you southereners are fine individually its just when theres too many of you in one place (like down south) that it becomes a problem...
  7. i hate it so much i think you should be banned because you made this post and ruined my day by making me think of the little f**ker (Y)
  8. i finish college on the 18th june but move house on the 24th so it'd have to be after the 27th. my hot spots would be mancs, london or leeds (Y)
  9. i dont think theres a riding difference but i've lived both north (wales/liverpool) and south (sussex) and definately found a huge attitude difference, i now avoid going south unless i have to because life seems so much more rushed down there and although individuals are usually sound, southerners as a group seem far less hospitable...
  10. isn't it about 3 pairs in a week? but yeah speak to rossi, he should definately be employed by everyone for fork R+D...
  11. hmm how wrong could it be, yes the one i love is suprisingly enough my girlfriend hannah, the one i can't work out - my granma?? i think not... as for the songs, well my mind is full of whisky in the jar (i dont drink) and my granma definately doesn't like jimmy eat world!!! i played it properly too going on first instincts and it was all wrong, :)
  12. huraaah someone who see's sense... yes if its on the front you do reduce the engagements per rotation at the crank because you don't have the gear ratio working in your favour but otherwise i really can't understand the problem with it... the merseytrial nutbars use FF on eno's and the only problem they have is killing ENO's but in fairness i think adam and lee could kill a challenger 2 tank...
  13. eh? the way i understood it was alu didn't flex it just cracked and snapped where as steel/ti flexed before dieing. thats why steel jump frames are so much nicer to ride than alu ones... i'd go for the zoo's myslef (as i have done...)
  14. hmmm i'd worry about a front brake before i worried about colour... but once you have the brake issues dealt with then i'd suggest matt black :) or powder blue :)
  15. i if thought you were being serious i'd be suitably impressed and glad that my honest views had been taken in and accepted (even if not agreed with) however i get the feeling you may be taking the piss slightly, either way good vid, shame about ^ :)
  16. sorry but that really pisses me off, if i wanted to look on your site i would but i dont. now having been on your site (because you won't let anyone direct link the vid) i've found a second reason for never going on your site again - its a shit site! the riders page you just have to keep clicking on boxes til you find the rider you want then when their info comes up its in some really annoying little frame. overall with that attitude and that web site you've just done more harm than good, i definately dont wana go buy any gate8 stuff now, if you had have been a bit more chilled about it and just put your logo and web addy at beggining and end of the vid i might have though 'hey cool vid i'll go check out the site' but as it is i think 'wow crap site and dodgy attitude, f**k that!' sorry if it sounds harsh or out of order etc but i'm with TRA 110% on this one and that ^ is my honest oppinion on the matter...
  17. how did she do that? are you talking ACU license?
  18. i dont know if your talking about national bike week but thats the week of the 12-18th june...
  19. pm koxx uk because they had 2 used ones for sale, they weren't going at a bargain price by any means but were cheaper than a new one...
  20. in fairness who in there right mind wouild pay £364 for an ET when youi can get a leeson including mini seat and bb for £400???
  21. the only headphones worth buying >_< sound on these babies is crazily good
  22. is that the quarry that the whole place is on a slope? i found that a few months back buit haven't got round to riding it yet. looks quite sweet and if its the same one there are sooo many lines suitable for everyone from novice to elite. all FT club members - can you all email freeridetrials_club@yahoo.co.uk and then when meetings etc need to be arranged we can email you. cheers tom oh yeah and nudge nudge hint hint there are quite a few locals who aren't paid up club members yet...
  23. in fiarness will before you wokred there they had at least 3 knobs working on the bikes who didn't know one end of a bike from another. i bought my little brother a bike from there and had to take it back 4 times before i realised they were just making problems worse and ended up doing it myself. i know there must be some good halfords staff but every one i've ever dealt with has been f**king useless or had a real attitude problem. your a sound enough lad and i was very very supprised when i found out your worked for halfords. i worked for them for not very long and hated it, i would never ever buy a bike off them without doing my own PDI checks before riding it and i would never take a bike in there to be serviced, halford in my general oppinion are f**king shit! (will excluded :P )
  24. giving us your mobile number and email address would be even better :P i had you email addy but have lost it and i didn't realise you were a full member so haven't tried pming you. we assumed you didn't have the time to help out because no ones heard off you since the bangor ride... get in touch with someone else though because i'm away for the next 3 weeks...
  25. yeah but even funnier would now be - 'i'm a smooth basterd porter snaps pitbull'
