    R.i.p Frame

    But zoo's dont make you into cls instantly. IMO, it can ruin your style, because you can simply only do pure trials. I mean, if thats what you like, then go for it. One of my best riding buddies quit because of buying a python, he just couldnt do anything apart from blunt and sidehop. If you get a t-pro, you cannot go wrong, its mid length, so wont be too cramped, and its not too long, so you can bunnyhop easily, and its nice to manual!
  2. Over on OTN i heard that they worked extremely well with the normal magura louise rotor *i think* Id love to give them a go, look sticky as hell, tar for disc brakes anyone?
  3. Just saw these on onza.com, they look lovely, and dont have the thing which hits your ankle any more! Im guessing they're stronger than the traditional tensiles due to the "urban" name. "the new Onza derailleur saver means that the derailleur is supported form both sides and ensures nothing will bend just from leaning the bike on it... the kit includes two of the studs which fit into the bottom and the extended skewer nut."
  4. Ironically, my hair is longer than yours, it sucks. I have to wear a helmet all the time when riding else i cant see properly, and im constantly shaking my head to get the damn stuff out of my eyes. Hair cut soon methinks.
  5. Looks very nice, i like the fact it doesnt have a seat tube. Disc mount looks interesting, as though it just bolts straight onto the drop outs rather than an extra mount, very strong?
  6. He walks like all emo's, head hung, feet dragging and pointing inwards, whilst thinking of the words for his new song. But i suppose, at least its not about his girlfriend leaving him.
  7. Well that quote was from sheldon browns site, i was under the impression he was a pretty experienced bloke. I wasn't saying that i personally knew the difference, but that was what i had read.
  8. Hmm waynio. Sorry to piss on your fire, but maybe you're just landing harder. Straight from Jobst Brandt:

    Spain

    I'm going to spain in about 2 weeks, and was wondering if anyone knows any good locations which have lots of trials shops. We havent decided which bit we're going to, so a place where i can get cheap monty goody or something like that would be great.

    Time Travel

    But if time travel was ever invented then surely we would know about it because of people travelling back, but then they would have to be careful otherwise we would find out and change the future. Guess we just gotta wait n see.
  12. Im up for this! As long as the train doesnt cost an arm and a leg, then ill bring ricky with me too.
  13. Someone had this problem before and someone posted a picture of how to put it together. Try looking for that in the search or on google and try to build it up from scratch. Might fix it? :P Edit: Use this. Overhaul guide
  14. Its got a disc mount, which the original coust hasn't, or so ive heard. Edit: Thats the coust copy, not toxsin.
  15. We (ricky and i) noticed that you were pretty competitive with bren, maybe just try and relax, take things at your own speed. If you're trying to constantly keep up with him, or anyone else, it becomes much more serious and a lot less fun. I was in the same situation with a rider here, but i just rode for my enjoyment and progressed much faster.
  16. Lovely site, one cheeky question, can i have some free honigs to replace my dead konigs? :rolleyes:"
  17. Well, they normally let about 4 on, but two go at the bike storage place, and then two in another random doorway. Yeah, thats our train.
  18. Imogen heap - hide and seek. I was listening to it right now too. :angry:
  19. Hang on, Honigs? Are these different to Konigs? I loved my konigs, but wear rate was a bit :angry:
  20. Well, if this is alright with rick, then we will be arriving at brighton station at 12:45, and leaving at about 7:30. So thats a long time, we wanna be shown the highlights of the place! We could get off at hove, but only if someone wants to lead the way. Ps. wayne, what bike you got now? Go with the base?
  21. Its lovely. But surely all the new frames with high bb's although good for the new gen of uci riders, are kind of loosing a bit of their market. Could they not make a level bb version as well as different lengths. Oh and a mod while they're at it! Edit: 2.2kg is pretty heavy for a U6 frame, gunna be hella strong methinks.
  22. I tried it in the other slots, still didnt work. I nicked one from a spare pc i have lying around and it worked in the same slot, so i guess it was just the card.

    What Bmx?

    WTP kicks the barcelona's arse imo. Wtp has the perfect frame length for me (5"10ish tall) and components are better than the barcelona. WTP has chrome rims which is always good. My mates barcelona began to fall apart after a few weeks, backwheel was screwed and cranks were a bit buggered. When i rode it, i found it really hard to manual and bunnyhop cos it has massively short stays, it flips so easily!
