no real complaints from me, makes custom frame builders lifes hard (iolo for example) but getting a frame for cheap is fairly easy with him around.

not dissing deng, but people managed before he came around

VEEEEEEEEE

tough as houses!

monty pedals have better bearings and heat treated alloy cages. Monty prices seem to have come down, but koxx/try all parts are still more exspensive here than they are abroad

over 30mm is high bb, I would never go more than that

I cant confirm what the final frame will have, but I asked for roughly 1085 wheelbase, 380 chainstays, +15 or 20 bb, 71.5 degree head angle.

lever looks cheap, but if it works it could be awesome....doubt it will drag me off vees though, but it should be an improvment over cast maggies. Also, the name Zhi comes to mind

I liked it! Got style even on rocks...well done that man

cheers for the comments guys, much apreciated yeah, possibly Rhyl next week Craig!!

I forgot how good blackpool was Its fecking ACE!! I though I was riding pretty well, got some taps I am happy with. Was cool to see people again, hopfully There will be some pics soon

not worth it, the words that come to mind are.....spongy, pain in ass.

yes, rain is good

ben savage 1st, danny butler 2nd, Ali C 3rd

the global was an interesting one, I had nothing to do with the actual frame looks, I just said what geo I wanted (I thought the frame was possibly the ugliest ever made!!) Same is happening with ashton, I bullied martyn into making a frame with different geo, I am doing UCI comps next year, so expect UCI type geo. I dont know what the actual frame design will be, thats up to martyn, I am sure it will be great though.

danny is the 2005 british champ and 2006 european expert champ, he came 2nd in the worlds in expert.

enter some comps? Then theres always somthng to look forward too. Even just riding natural is fun. If I didnt do comps I would probably give up trials tomorrow.

haha, great stuff. This was meant to be a test on how to make the picture comp poll, I thought I could make up a random poll to show how it was done and then delete it (senior members can delete their posts) but it seems I couldnt delete the topic. some great answers though, shame I didnt do more options

poo poo poo

isnt that for dents rather than flatspots?? other than a hammer, I cant see any way of fixing it

can you say smoooooooooth! very nice vid, some impressive riding!

it will work with VLC media player (well worth getting, will play any file type)

I agree with Leedstrials, no need to spend loads on some brakes that wont be better than the vees, just get some good pads and cables and everyone with maggies will be jelous of your vees!
