ISIS or taper? What cranks will you be using, and what size front sprocket/chainring/freewheel?

Thank f**k for that!!

They were on Trials-Shack which has sadly disappeared now: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=47985&st=0&p=549740&hl=+tartybikes%20+and%20+onza%20+and%20+frame&fromsearch=1&#entry549740

Which brake exactly?

Same.

Oh yeah, duh, my bad! Confusion We are both at zero goal difference at the moment though, but USA have scored 2 more goals than us. So we'd have to draw 3-3 and them 0-0 to go through like that?

No, if USA win by 2 goals and we win by only 1, we're out. No, cos then Algeria will have more points than us.

Pah

Tis pretty straightforward - England and USA are level on goal difference and they have scored more goals than us, we need more points than them from the final game ideally! A win by more goals than they beat Algeria by would do too. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/world_cup_2010/groups_and_teams/group_c

Terrible news... very sorry to hear about it - you will be missed Gav! Sincere condolences to all family and friends.

No.

Save weight, cost, make the frame stronger, allow you to route the cables where you want rather than having stupidly placed cable guides that people moan about. That said, nice, well-placed cable guides fitted to the frame as standard is probably a better idea

They do work really well actually, mainly on painted/lacquered frames, but still stick to anodised ones ones ok

Wrap it in a cloth/bag and that should catch them hopefully... Does sound like something has seized though as you said

It would be 350 though, because 18:12 ratio doesn't work with 345mm... We looked into these frames a while back - the price is quite a bit more than the original frame and it's heavier, so we didn't think they'd sell too well?

Yeah £74 in this case. I think your note went back with the frame Andy so I haven't got your phone number to hand, but we've had a reply about the warranty now. I'll dig it out and someone will give you a shout asap.

Awful news... get well soon Gav!

Wasn't sure how 'professional' that would be, but here you go: A 'full power' whack would easily crimp the tube I think.

Well, not quite, but you do have to hit it hard. The protector isn't designed for frames with super thick downtubes, it's for light comp frames (like the Manus). I did test it without the guard (that frame was a write off already - you may be able to see on the video at one point that it's missing a dropout) and it made some reasonable dents, certainly enough to void the warranty.

They will, but not particularly well... you'd have to zip tie it on really.

It it's a complete mod and it's inside the UK, that's pretty high. Try interparcel.com and parcel2go.com too.

Grind on a 'trials' bike, no grind on a 'streety' bike.

Oof. Andrea Corr (about 10 years ago) and Christine Bleakley? Yes please!

Yeah, you should... could try the same from the other side too (which is the way I usually do it actually), then you have more axle to get at (if you remove part number 4).

We've been told by Magura that they may make a trials specific lever for the brake (so we don't have to use that ugly one, wooo). We're trying to get a sample to test, will let you all know how we get on...
