Nice one, cheers Phil, will check that out on a map...

Hello all, I'm gonna be down visiting mates where I used to go to uni (Loughborough) the weekend of 7/8/9th July, and I need to make myself disappear on the Sunday morning so my mate can go to work. So, I'm up for suggestions as to where to ride. Must be rocks, none of this street poop Give me a shout and we'll sort something out Cheers Ads

*Awaits THE operation* Nice post dude, summed it up really well! In addition - the Alex DX32 rims are also well worth a look, and a quick search on the forum should yield more info on those. Adam

Sounds like it's a bit dodgy... Give Hope a call and see what they suggest, they may even sort it for you! Cheers Adam

Some come with, some without. Lack of eyelets saves about 50g, not insignificant! Rims usually die from denting in trials before the spokes pull through too, so wedecided uneyeletted would be best. Cheers Adam

Bear with me, this is a nightmare, haha! The HSBC CPI integration system places constraints on online stores, meaning that (due to the possibility of card fraud), all orders which have different billing and shipping addresses are marked for manual review. Imagine if someone nicks your card and has loads of stuff sent to their address? Sounds like you've found a way to trick it though, haha! There is a 'fix' for this, but that involves dropping the security level of the whole system - something we're not prepared to do. It's only 3 minutes with you cos you love to chat Nick, haha Phones are great, its easy to convey lots of information in a short period of time - for example if someone requires help with what parts to choose, or are not sure whats best for them. The certificate 'problem' is explained here: http://tartybikes.co.uk/terms.php - which everyone placing an online order is required to read and agree to, as directed by our site. If you wanna phone up and pester us with those sorts of questions, feel free, that's our job! We can also advise what is best for each rider. We often get a call from a customer asking to buy X-product, when after a small conversation, it becomes apparent that Y-product would be much better for them! Nobody can mistake you Joe, you're special And you usually try and organise most of it on MSN first anyway Thanks guys, much appreciated Never heard of a problem with joint cards... we hold a joitn account here, and tested the whole system with both of our cards to make sure it worked. Is it possible that the registered card addresses are different for both the cards? Online ordered suits certain people more than others! Like has been said, it would be a nightmare for Jonathan to order from us otherwise. Hey, we try to be quick, but that's just impossible! (Unless you don't get up til after about 4pm ). Also nicely identifies another reason for implementing the online ordering system - nocturnal mammals such as the lesser-spotted JT. Not found that problem Phil... we tested extensively with IE and Mozilla (in fact about 50% of the work put into the site was to make sure everything worked correctly with both these browsers). Will look into that though, cheers for the heads up Apologies to anyone who's found a problem with the system. If anything occurs a couple of times, then please let us know so we can try and get it sorted. Cheers Adam Crikey, that was an effort :$ PS: Glad the ordering works for you now Rob!

All the DX32s have always been the same (apart from colour etc, obviously!) so it should do you proud Adam

543g a pair including spacer (to be run of you don't use a bashring). Cheers Adam

The rims are not made any more unfortunately. We've run out now, but other places may have some old stock left... make sure you get a good deal :wink2: Adam

Simple reason - we don't get to ride in groups due to the hours we ride (only ever in the evenings), so with just 2 people it's hard to get any banter going! There's a little bit in the video (more than I thought there would be!) Cheers for the comments Ads

Yeah, thats a 4x build, with plain gauge 14g spokes. Shouldn't cause you any problems as long as the wheelbuilder did a good job (doesn't look like the spokes have been bedded in correctly though). Adam

If only

Cheers for the comments so far guys! I'm running 16:14 Spode... although I think you'd be better off with 16:15 or so, due to your liking of spinny gears! Adam

Interesting... tell me more Video up as well -> Clicky here Adam

Hello everyone, Just slapped together a few clips of me from the last couple of rides. Video is 35.4 Mb and 3:52 Mins long. Thanks to Stan and some rocks for the filming The song is Bran Van 3000 (yeah baby) - Drinking in LA. Just thought I'd use it as I was stuck for what to use... Head here for the link, which can be found pretty easily! Questions etc about the bike/rear disc can be aimed here: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=78817 I think that's all Cheers Adam

Mr 'I Like Stripping Things' Looks really sweet though! 'Cheap' frame, top parts, doesn't look out of place at all. Catch you soon for a ride Waddy Ads

Tensions exactly the same, but gives better chain wrap over the rear sprocket, plus its more out the way and there's no hanger to kill! Cheers Adam

Simple but effective (for me anyhow!) Hangerless Adam

Pictures now available, they look very similar to the old ones Cheers Adam

My suggestion... bring back the Tibia Guards! Possibly with a little trials twist - better ventilation as you said before

1 1/8" threadless headset, and a 68x128mm BB Adam

Hmmm.... any chance of a picture? That would help a lot. Cheers Adam

Did the Muscleman cranks come on a bike? If so, they *may* have a UCI-spline, which means only the Tensile bashring will fit. However, some other models just use a standard screw thread, which opens up options. Cheers Adam

The hubs on the T-Pro are T-Pro hubs. That doesn't look like a T-Pro wheel... the T-Pros come with the Onza Hog rims. Adam

Yo Rich, Had the same issue with mine at first - the layer of paint on the pad backing acts as a lubricant for the first few rides, but once it wears off all is fine. There's some other pads in the pipeline with slightly (0.25mm) larger backings too. As for the 180mm version on the rear - its a good idea. They're much better than 160s. Another option would be to get Clive to make you a +20 mount for the frame, since the adaptors you can get tend to make the brakes a little flexy. Any other questions you have, just give us a shout Adam
