  1. Daam boy, you gone done got them skills on that there bicycle!
  2. some shimano dx (old ones) or some dmr v8s would be cool? If you want it real old skool then some bear trap pedals are an option.
  3. I disagree with most of what you just said minus the first motorbike bit.
  4. Subrosas are amazing! they are also a pleasure to build.
  5. Heard good things about Stan's Flow, can't go wrong with Mavic's offerings either, but also check out the Spank range. I have sworn by them for trials for the past 3 years as they are just about the stiffest rims going and are a good weight, well worth considering.
  6. doesn't the power for each caliper get reduced the more that are added? The lever currently puts all it's force into one caliper, if you start to add more that power gets split up and shared meaning each caliper produces less power. I could be wrong and theory is one thing and real world use is another, but I think it's un-necessary, heavier, more things to break not to mention the caliper would have to be mounted on the front of the forks, under the frame unless you custom make some.
  7. rings a bell, I think I had one many moons ago, lets see if I can find a pic.
  8. bolts to the other side....do you mean the lever? or the other end of the caliper?
  9. you missed the point, the song isn't bad, but it's over used.
  10. "interesting" use of the Trialtech hose splitters Forks look nice on that bike, bet it rides pretty well!

    Mini Master 2

    seriously impressed!
  12. sweeeeet! Could do with some matching tyres, but for a budget build that's very impressive! A good bike by anyone's standard
  13. that is true, thanks Mark! Before Mark, I made my last vid back in 2007, I am not great so I just stopped after that. I decided that crap videos are worse than no videos, not saying Aurelien's video is crap, but just a more of a concious effort to find an unused bit of music would have been better I think.
  14. the thing is all it would have taken was for him to not have used the same song used by 90% of "extreme" sports videos these days. I'm sure he listens to a few bands that would have had something that would have worked?

    Cv Help

    it's my goal in life to wait as long as possible before ever having to send a CV, mostly because mine would suck (no GCSE's, A levels etc) not much help from me I'm afraid, but good luck if you change position.
  16. I wouldn't change anything really, may as well practice them as you would normally have your bike.
  17. now who's arguing? this could go on and on an o......
  18. depends how strong the concentration is. When you put it on you may not get a reaction straight away, but you'll see it start to fizz and stuff, you can leave it on for a while, but try rubbing it off after a few seconds (10-20) to start with and see how it goes. Just use a bit of common sense and you'll be ok, you be doing VERY well to ruin the rim either way. Oh, you may find the rim goes a dark brown/black, that's fine, that will rub off with a cloth or polish.
  19. add it to hot water for a stronger effect. I find a tooth brush is perfect for the job, a sponge will probably do too, but yeah, just add it to the water, it may bubble a bit depending on the temperature you use, apply to rim, then rub/rinse off. The join will be fine.
  20. you can't really force a style, if you ride enough you'll get your own it will either be nice, or not so nice, trying to force one usually ends up not so nice.
  21. no snow in Blackpool, bit of ice but not much, I think I'll go riding
