  1. I got 50% off with pass pluss with tesco :)
  2. lol, I think I was drunk :) It was meant to say be-friend a bikeshop and ask you to get one trade price from king, they are £35!! I think thats what I might do.
  3. to be honest with you I dont know why I got a king, I guess it was a spur of the moment thing :huh: I really like fsa headsets, they are brill
  4. I have been a bum for the last 7 years although I started my first ever job a month or two back, working at my lbs, dont get payed for it though :huh: I did go to collage for 3 years, so I have a few qualifications. I have never though about what I wanna do in the future, I cant imagian any job that I would enjoy doing and I aint about to go and move house any time ever! roll on lottery win!!
  5. brfriend a bikeshop and sak you to get one trad price from king, they are £35!! I think thats what I might do. Also, ask your shop to do you a receipt for the hub so you can then try and get it warrentied (though I doubt they would) aspire velotech do them for $85 but you have to pay postage from america I also saw that bodge, its pure genious!! but I cant be bothered to do it as I have a spare hub to ride lol
  6. the lower bearings in my race face duce headset all fell out :huh: they were knackered I now have a king and love it. I personally would go for a light weigh headset, they have to take loads more beating on a trials bike. Think about it, road and mountainbikes dont put much stress through a headset, but trialsriders do pivots, taps, hooks front hops, alsorts, much more than what light weight headsets can put up with.
  7. I use an 18 tooth cog and bash, so I can get away with a noarrower bb
  8. I am using a 113mm axle on mine
  9. I am on 18-15 with 175mm cranks, its by fare the best gearing I have used!
  10. pah, its not speed that counts it distance :- I once did a 2-3mile coaster in france back in my downhilling days, all the way from Les Gets to Morzine down the road :P
  11. I dunno how you guys wear tyres out so quick (Y) I have slow reezay front and rear, had them for a good few months now and they are only really showing wear now
  12. You do realise straight blade forks have the same rake as curved ones? I really reccomend pashleys, I think the curved fork really suits 24" and they are as strong as an ox
  13. I LOVE my 661 duallies, I really rccomend them. Best ankle protection out, ace sole and they do up nice and tight! I really want some five 10 shoes though, when my duallies wear out I will get some
  14. I did indeed do it. I removed the inner walls and got them welded, Fatmike kept the walls inplace and ran bolts though it, solves all the problems of heat, but is heavier. I dont think its really worth doing, not when the new echo rim is comming out, 48mm wide and supost to be as hard as alex rims, so should hold grinds better than current wide rims. I also used a sun doublewide, they are pretty decent, holds grinds really well, but the angled braking suface can be a pain for setting pads up with, I also flat spotted mine really easily, but it did have big holes in it.
  15. I find scales much easier to weigh stuff with than toilets :)
  16. 26lbs for my bike, it would way a lot less if I was riding street instead of comps, oh the ironing
  17. I wish I knew what I wanted to do for a job when I was at school......actually, scrap that, I wish I knew what I wanted to do NOW at 21!! :sleeping: Cant think of any jobs I would like to do. My Brother is a doctor in chemestry. at his first job he was earning 27K. Its VERY hard though, the stuff is soo complex I dont understand anything he says about it B)
  18. lol, I rode for 6 months with my qr holding it together :unsure:" try bromley, fat mike or aspire velotech (sp?) (on ebay)

    Me And Ali C

    WTF!! Totally random topic :) I actually think I look like a young shaun connery, very shexshy. There is a possiblitiy me and monkey were seperated at birth, but when questioned, my mum went out to water the plants......in the rain.......in the dark :D

    I wasnt sure wether to put the clothes thing, but I never said they were bad clothes, just looks like they are too small (you can see his ankles and stuff). I cant really talk though, all my clothes are knackered and non fashionable :)
  22. my dad was a great runner in his day, he used to run 20 miles every other day before work and then again after. He could do a marathon in 2hours 20ish (I think) I tried running, but I dont enjoy it, I would much rather go for an xc or road ride.
  23. I had one, I got it as a 2nd fun street bike. I got the frame off ebay for £11 (Y) I have cut it all up now as I am modifying it to be a smaller 24" rig.
