it would be possible You would need to use a bmx hub with left hand drive and some bmx cranks to match (otherwise your pedals would unscrew as you ride) The disc would work too, you would have to mount it under the seatstay for it to be the correct way round. More effort than it's worth really, and I am not really sure why you would get a custom frame with geo of frames that you can buy in shops?

apologies, may have come across harsher than I actually meant

that IS my cat! well, my cat minus 21 years......cuuuute

well, not in the description of every tyre. Looks like quotes from Contis site rather than a "true" description (Tarty's actual measured durometer and more accurate description comes to mind). But I guess it is a lot of work to do that.

for that price, a slightly oldschool second hand bike would give you a better bike than a "300 new bike. Unless the bike has been totally ragged, you should spend less time fixing things than you would with such a cheap new bike. something like this Sure it's not a modern bike with fancy new futuristc geometry or frame design, but those frames do ride well, especially coming from a mtb background. I am also a firm believer on riding a short bike if you are new to the sport, it will actually teach you to "ride" rather than hop about all over the place which most modern bikes are best at. Some people with say get a 20", but I would only agree if you were from a bmx background or really small/young. Otherwise stick with big wheels and get learing to ride over stuff and have fun!

claiming them all to be the "black chili compound" is a bit misleading (even is that's what Conti directly call them) as there are key differences between the Rain King and Rubber Queen compounds for example.

no, it lives with my parents, but they are only an hour away and I do like to go visit.

oh but I have, I spent two weeks in the french alps years ago, was amazingly fun! I am all about the fun in riding, I don't want to think about life and issues, riding is to get away from that.

looks nice good to see an unusual colour too. I bet it has a low bb and slack head angle though

it's not like you can even hug or cuddle fish either

fish sound like effort

All crap films as well in my eyes. Bring back Sprung and Earthed, they were and still are the best.

bought it the other day. the actual film quality is great, but other than that it's rather boring, if it wasn't for the film quality it wouldn't actually have anything good about it at all.

those pads are pretty turd for any decent trials stuff, get some trial specific pads like the TNN pads, a booster will help loads with the holding power too.

mostly polyurethane, there are a couple of exceptions though

M6 fittings for braided hose, M5 fittings for Kevlar

well, it's not quite M6, it's a specific size to the kit.

pull harder

try doing some sidehops without covering the front brake, that was how I learned to do them to two wheels as you can't rely on pivoting on the front.

I really like Tinypic, again you don't need an account and it also gives you direct links.

go to an image hosting site like Tiny Pic and upload your pics there, then copy and paste it over into your post.

I rent a en-suit room in blackpool with a shared kitchen, rent is £345 a month all bills included (council tax, water, electricity, tv, internet etc). sure it's a room rather than a whole house, but I have my tv an computer in here and other than going to the bathroom and kitchen I don't need any other rooms, I would probably just fill them with junk anyway. I am not a fan of buying a house and having a mortgage, I really don't like the idea of being tied down and paying for a single property for the rest of my life (especially with my inconsistant income). I also like the fact I don't have to pay for any nasty surprises like the boiler exploding or the roof falling in, plus if suddenly I wanted to move to another place, as long as I can find somewhere to rent it's dead easy to do.

granted I have never ridden bmx, but there is no chance I would have a brake if I did. Brakeless riding looks soooo much nicer than if you have a brake honking away, bikes look cleaner, riding looks smoother and bikes are quieter. Saying man up is like people who say riding brakeless with brakes is the same as being brakeless, its not the same nor is being told to man up about doing things..
