I got a few... but at that point in the ride, Matts had discarded his helmet... Cheers for the comments guys :)

Well, as some of you know, the main purpose of our trip to London this Sunday was to shoot for a KOT MS2 Promo video with Matt. Well, the resulting video has now been uploaded, and is available to download from TartyBikes! Frames and forks are expected at the end of May, with geometry as such: - Wheelbase (with 415mm KOT fork): 1099mm (long version - which Matt is riding in the video), 1065mm (short version) - Chainstay length: 383mm - BB rise: +40mm (with 415mm KOT fork) - Head angle: 70.5 degrees (with 415mm KOT fork) - Weight: Approx 4.2lbs The frames and forks, like Echo and ZOO frames/forks, are made by Pulo from notoriously strong U6 aluminium. Prices are unconfirmed at the moment, but judging from our initial figures, these frames will be very good value! Anyway, enough of the waffle... Click the picture above, and then follow the link on the home page to go to the 'Media' section of the site. You may need to hit F5 on your keyboard to see the new items... Enjoy! Cheers, Adam

The KOT MS2 won't be here in time for your comp, sorry! Estimated release date is the end of May, with us here at TartyBikes being the exclusive UK distributor. Price is yet undecided, but the price guides we've been given indicate very good value! Keep an eye out for a KOT Promo vid featuring Matt Staples... it'll be around sometime pretty soon... Cheers, Adam

So don't moan about the journey (Y)

Wait for the tool... (N)

Fair enough! I just took the 'or not' bit to mean he thought it was weak (N)

1 x 5mm allen key 1 x lockring adjusting tool Hold lockring with tool (might need a vice), and then undo the non drive side end cap with allen key. Lockring should then unscrew easily (holding the axle by hand).

Both correct... theyre nothing special though. All the HS33's (intended for trials bikes) seem to come with them now. Been standard on Onza bikes for months :D

Sorted... Ads

Damon ;) Close enough, i'll let you off :P Haha, yeah Dave's landed himself a bit of a 'deal' from ourselves now, and Matt needs a good bumming. Video soon :D" Haha, new shins for Lee please :P (Or shinnies) Was a wicked day, cheers everyone - and like most people have said, was good to put faces to names and all that. Trials is cool - didn't speak to any nobheads all day, everyone's sound, don't get that in any other sport! Wouldn't mind coming down again sometime, but of a mission, but worth it! Got to bed before midnight, just, haha. Cheers for the gallery Harry! I've got a few pics as well which i'll bash up later. Uni work can wait :P My MSN addy is mmar@lboro.ac.uk... but I ma ynot be able to chat much seeing as theres always summat to do here! But feel free to add me :D Cheers! Adam (On the big gay silver proto bike)

So some spokes broke - which will send ANY rim way out of true. And then some MORE spoke broke, and it didnt get any worse - sounds rather strong to me. And then a 7ft drop, and its still fixable! :unsure: Agreed! As any rim would! Once again, as any rim would, lol. Sounds like it was 100% ABUSED, yet you're still saying its not tough?! (Y) Either way, send it back and you can get another for £15 - the beauty of Onza. Edit: After looking at the pics, those spokes do look REALLY terrible!

Yup :unsure:

Well they would say that :unsure: Basically, you can have a frame thats lighter than standard alloy but dents easily, or the same weight as a standard alloy frame but stronger. I very much doubt Trek would make a trials frame, it would be such a tiny insignificant part of their sales!

They look like sweet frames, you will be able to get them through tartybikes.co.uk very soon. Adam

Probably due to all your weight hanging off them :D"

Exactly :P That's where we're staying... lovely Travelodge, haha. I think Dave's decided on a station, will report back when I know! Cheers for the heads up :D Ads

Ah, see, I didn't even know there was such a thing as the circle line :D haha :"> No idea which station we're coming from... think we're staying somewhere near the Dartford tunnel though, so... from the East. Im such a spaz :P Edit: Awesome, cheers Lee :D

Awesome song, wanna use that for a trials vid sometime... Wonder if theres anywhere in the UK that does it... would make a sweet birthday present!!

Sweet, thanks for the replies :P Whats the deal with bikes on the tube though? :D

Right... London newbie looking for a bit of advice, haha :"> Shell Centre at 11, right? Whats the best train station to use for that? And any sort of rough directions? From a Googling, it seems like its somewhere near the wheel-y thing? Any sort of help much appreciated :D Cheers!

Its been done before :)

You may have reached the end of the thread... in which case, you'll then need to tap the axle out. Ads

This one, with slightly lower bars. Oh, and my parts on it :angry: Adam

What bike did you have before? (Edit: Zebdi?) And do you front bump? Front bumping is a lot easier with nice low bars... and longer bikes always feel weird for backwheeling when you change from a shorter one - but they are better when you get used to it! Adam

Preston and Southport :lol: Sweet vid Mr Stanley!
