I have been learning them today, I eventually managed to get 9 pallets to both wheels, almost to rear. I think what helped me was going as fast as I dared, its scary but going faster really does help (I like to pedal up btw, not bunnyhop) Get the front wheel just over the top, that way the pedals dont hit as much, and get all your weight forward! good luck with them
-
when I was at school or collage I got them all the time! I cant believe you hardly get them, you lucky bugger!
-
not far off, Yorkshire :unsure:" (when it snowed it was hard to tell the difference lol) I know nothing about cars, I have no idea what they look like, a car is just a car to me, exept a Daihatsu Hijet, they rock! getting mine next week (Y)
-
havn't noticed either
-
how often do you take out your inner tube to find its full of water? never! The same with tubles, if its sealed, how can water get in? and dave, when Mike said it can fold more, he means the trye can fold over without burping air, it wont fold over mcu more than a tubed set up (might fold a teeeeeny weeeeeeny bit more due to thinner sidewalls cos of no tube)

Alastair Clarkson From west yorkshire hopfully on my new Global ti rig. seems I am camping, but I only found out I am going the other day :unsure:" lol I might even be able to drive!!!! woooohoooo I will get a matresse in me van (need to buy it first lol) and I will watch all you suffer out on the hard floor mmmmwwhahahahahaa

3 or 4, this hardcore yorkshire grit stone sure does eat tyres

unlucky about the fail dude, dont let it get to you though, learn from it for next time. I particually hate comming up to lights when they have been green for a while, always makes me nervous. I had about 27 lessons, possibly more than I needed, but I had never driven a car before I started them so I was a complete beginner. I passed with 3 minors a month ago. Just make sure you look in your mirror ALL the time! (more than you look ahead sometimes lol) keep plenty of space infront of you. use your indicators, better to use them than not. keep speed safe, if your going the right speed, you can deal with anything. (where I got a minor) dont forget to check your blind spot (where I got a minor) dont over rev the engin or let it splutter (my third minor) I hope you pass next time (Y)

to me, its main point is to make my bike lighter for comps without puncturing, for street riders, no pinch punctures and no worries if you ride over glass or nails. I think it has a bigger market in the comp scene than street to be honest.
-
the proper rim strip works better, but only fits a range of rim widths.
-
For my comp bike its about weight saving AND peace of mind (using much lighter tyres) for my other (to be made) bike its just peace of mind
-
theres no reason you cant seal a koxx rim, just do the inertube thing I said earlier, doesnt weigh any more than a normal tube
-
there is always a little pool at the bottom, but when you ride it coats all the inside of the tyre in a thin layer. I left my wheel standing for about a week then took the tyre off, there was still a layer of liquid latex all inside the tyre. However, I never had any probs with the valve clogging, I was trying to puncture the tyre and was messing about with differernt pressures with no probs (and no puncture even when one of the tread ripped off!)
-
I found the grip to be pretty much as good as a maxxis, but only really when the tread is nice and sharp. I think the rear is quite heavy, 1300g or thereabouts but I still managed to puncture mine on a few occasions. I also found it to be quite tall and would fold more than a maxxis, it also has a rounder profile decreasing stability. The front is about 750g and I cant remember ever punctureing that. I would stick with maxxis on the back, but I would be perfectly happy running a front try-all
-
personally you would have to pay me to get that game, I think gt games are crap. They are sooooo boring :blink: lets drive around slowly in a line.......I would rather watch paint dry. mgs on the otherhand, yes please!! mint game.
-
his msn is down (he's never on it anyway) so give him a pm if you havnt already, that will show in his email box (mine does anyway)
-
I just thought I would let people know I completed the game this evening WITH NO CHEATS! (N) That has to be the best game I have played for bloody ages! such good graphics and gaming detail. The last few levels were hard, almost lost my rag a few times lol.
-
yaaaay third! I am pretty suprised with that, I thought aust, phil williams and aran cook might have beaten me. Tims Pashley land rover is a beast at off roading, it got up some right steep stuff, was soooo fun!
-
I have no idea what place I came. I dropped 39 in elite which I am pretty unhappy with but I have a number of excuses :) lol 1) dislocated my thumb last week and I have very limited movement of it 2) a REALLY sore shoulder (from same crash that did my thumb) 3) riding a bike with crappy tyres and a narrow rear rim 4) not being as good as the other competiters I thought it was a fun trial, nice weather a bit muddy though, but thats expected at back cowm

cool, as long as they are big! :( :("

Name- Alastair Clarkson Town- Hebden Bridge How long riding trials- 6 years Would you be prepared to travel to the park- yes (when I get a car) email adress- dvclarkson@yahoo.co.uk i am signing this form on my be half to support the trials park in crook Alastair Clarkson I think you should ask for lots of rocks, they can provide hundreds of lines and no two rocks are ever the same (and they are hard to nick and cant be set on fire)

seems the weather is going to be loverly and sunny for the weekend according to the bbc weather, where did you see there was snow Wayne? and I am pretty sure you can send them to barbara mike, I did.
-
mmmm wild alpine strawberries, cant beat'em. but if we're being precise about whats fruit and whats not, I will say nice crunchy seedless grapes are my fave, they are just sooo addictive!
-
heh heh, when it comes to halloween all you need to do is get some fake blood and spread it around that torn tattoo, that would scare a few kids :ermm: I think my mum would never look at me again if I had things like that done :wub: not that I would want to any way :blink:
-
true The first one I made did burp air when it folded and when you rimmed it, but I made that with slime sealent and not latex. I did one recently with latex and its soooooo much better, it just doesnt burp at all and it seals punctures a lot better. I was just explaining to mark that I wouldnt need to send it to mike to do, thats all. :(
