Too busy... Here are some of a similar tensioner: http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/2316/dscf0105w.jpg, http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/2669/dscf0106x.jpg, http://img211.imageshack.us/img211/1381/dscf0108h.jpg

I've had a Fiesta and a new shape Corsa, can get one mod in the back without the front wheel off no problem, 2 mods in with front wheel off easy peasy. Want me to measure boot dimensions on my Corsa for you dude?

Sweet! Should be getting some of his DVDs in very soon...

It came out in late 2008, so was an '09 model frame, and then wasn't made any more, so is therefore discontinued...

:$

5 mins in a car, 4 on a bike (bloody traffic lights).

And it's now 2010 and the frame is discontinued..? Sorry, I don't follow.

Should be about the same as the Manus

Not really, you could sit Joe Bloggs in front of a year's worth of Gilles videos and he would still be no better at trials than beforehand, however the combination of watching and practicing surely must be faster for learning than just practicing. As said above though, I think seeing people ride in the flesh is most helpful.

Yeah it's fine on 26".

For sure, especially given the tiny trials market...

Yeah, it's a bit different on a huge 19" tyre though at ~15 psi.

Something like the new Try-All one should fill that pretty well (although will be steel bead). Cost and fold-off-the-rim-ability.

Yep... Python discontinued.

Nah, they are opposite threads... Check about 3:15mins onwards: http://tartybikes.co.uk/media.php?group=guides&id=4

First budget build Inspired in Green that we've taken photos of... Looks pretty sweet with both a full seat and a mini seat I reckon! Cheers Adam

Very very rare for a bearing to go, sounds like you just need to tighten the lockring.

They certainly don't, or they would get their P45 in the post!

Olskool, that's awesome! I'm not too well up on the Azonic frames, but I think the geo will have changed now... One thing to note also is that even though the bike was perfect for you back then, things have changed a LOT and it's unlikely to ride very well compared with modern bikes. If you can, I would recommend having a quick play on a few modern trials bikes if you can, you will see a huge difference, they are much easier to ride!

Aah, did wonder that but wanted to clarify! That's a bit of a bummer, what sorta stuff has been going wrong? I had an 03 Fiesta and that was pretty decent...

This was a brand new car...?

I had the same thing on a used car I bought, think it was £450 for 3 years 'full warranty'. Similar thing happened and I got shafted, never again Sorry that doesn't help much but your story kinda confirms my theory that it's not worth doing... Check carefully before buying. Relatively expensive lesson but one to chalk up on the 'board of life'. At least you got it sorted pretty cheaply in the end though

Hideous.
