Gandalf the Yellow

who knows, i guess its time to download the .PDF file from the magura website to examine how this funky piece of new mount works,..... i know elbows sucks, but this seems....crap. too. (Y) steve

if you mean similar to a Koxx Tryall rim....as in many different colour schemes and how it styles (ready drilled holes) then defo go for the... VIZ! rims, they're real similar to tryall, much stronger, still looks just as nice. if you're just on about how wide it has to be then there's only a few around, as mentioned before Echo CNC'ed rims, Onza Reggie rim, or Onza Hog rim. steve

hey people im wanting a new front V, not sure which ones to go for as i don't know much about them....i want to know about levers too...i can spend around £50 max on both. cheers :S steve

yea and the Yaabaa 26" is just like that 'racecode' koxx i think... :S steve

sorry i really should have considered before i posted it up... :">

cool i'll get most locals to come out, but i'll be meeting the group at around 11.30 soonish... steve

i would really try.....i'll see nearer the time....but i don't want to travel by silverlink this time as it took us nearly 3 hours to get there dean....its killing our riding time :S steve

saw a kid on one of these a few months a go.....caught my attention...as it had wide flat bars and 19" rear wheel... i suppose its a good cheap starter....but i think they should rename this...'GIMP' lol (Y) steve

what about bletchley?...surely its better than CMK (Y)

ok i need some new pads for my rear maggies as my pink/orange/red pads that came as standard are wearing away, i need it to run on a standard EX721 rim, with or without tar... life of pad doesn't matter to be honest...so i just need lots of grabs!!! tell me which ones are good please! thanks steve

Giant trials team (Y)

yea, sure i'll come along but it'll be after 12 i think. so will meet you guys later... yea people come along!! (Y) steve

arh great during my exams, so i can't come... (Y) i so want to go again after the 8th, it was awesome.....london newbie :D i guess i'll have to look for a BIIIIG london ride after 20th June when my exams finishes.... :S steve

hey stephen i want to come, not sure if i can though...whats the train like on sunday (silverlink)? steve

it was from MCC cycles in ireland, £200 including forks/frame/headset/cranks/bb/seat clamp, sooooooper good deal it was. but i was well lucky to find it during december when the 05's came out...that was the last 1 :) some kick ass specced giants there...why am i not seeing blue giants?? :blink: i thought there were much more giant owners on here than 3.... steve

hey guys, let me see your giants, i saw a topic on (post your T-rex) earlier on and im also quite bored and would like to look/judge your giants! here's my fairly standard 04' Giant... :blink: and... hope you like it.. Hope mono on D521/XT on X517 EA50 stem, DW bars maggies, husselfelt cranks tioga mc lite saddle, hope skewers and...lots of tar on the other side of the rim... steve

ok i know its not a weekend, but would be nice if a couple of locals riders that i haven't yet met can turn up just for a few hour session. me and chris (newport pagnell dude) will be meetin there at around 6-6.30pm if its not wet. hope some of yous can join! steve

i think there's going to be 1/2 of the owners or even just half the trials riders in UK are not going to be on TF, not everyone will have internet, BT needs sortin out! steve

(Y) wow that is real sexy, loving that long 'gusset' thing running down pretty much half the frame.... not sure on the dropouts though, doesn't seem as 'proportional' to the rest of the bike, might be because it looks too plain. steve

very smooth riding indeed....

hey guys... unfortunately im going to be away for the whole weekend! >_< (N) shit, oh well i guess we can have another ride down MK/bletchley sometime soon after. getting a train from MK to bletchley for £1 is good, and there's more to ride in bletchley than MK, MK does get boring. steve EDIT: although i can't come i'll get hold of all the locals to get their arses out for you guys.... (Y) :turned:

i have a mono from nov 04, but after being used by a bent onza skewer (nothing serious, only where the lever is) it started creakin like hell, i have posted about this a while back but i never got round to find out whats wrong.... now its creakin more and more, and i get some ridiculous slippage, like i can get about 5 slips within riding time of 5 mins.... then my mate steward finally had a look inside today, but nothin seems to be fecked, bearings were fine, pawls/springs were all good, axle weren't snapped or bent, hub body was not cracked....but the freehub, had all these 'dents' on it made from either the teeth inside the hub, but steward says its fine, most mono's do that. but 1 big problem is that 1 side of the (inside) of the freehub where the 'dents' are there are some massive dents where i can see the teeth have been eating into the free hub.... has anyone had this before? is it normal and could this be causing all the creaks and slippage? steve :huh:
