if you cross thread a mount, then you need to start thinking about your technique in doing the bolts up (yes IM not joking either) If you just push the allen key as hard as you can, as well as creating the moment, you're also creating a force in the direction you pushing, meaning force on the bolt, meaning the bolt is being pushed over to one side. Usually, and in small doses, it probably wouldn't affect how it bites the thread, but I'm sure you can imagine that after a while it can get out of hand.... You need to use one hand to push the leverage end, and the other hand counter-acting the force, pushing on the opposing side, but at the point of action. IE by the bolt's head when doing the bolts up initially, always use the shortest end the screw them in quickly, if it gets tight, DON'T FORCE IT. Because if you're cross threading helicoils its because you're being too heavy handed with them and not taking care when screwing bolts into them. You wont ever get a replacement as good as the original thing, but helicoils are still damn good, purely on the fact that its a steel insert which is harder, so will resist cross threading a bit more than aluminium I don't know where you're going to find inserts to put in. As well as butchering your frame more than a helicoil, its also alot more expensive.

lol, i couldnt focus on the riding really and the music just made me laugh

what a classic piece of video history that is!

I agree with bristol. Cant comment about scotland way cos i've never been but the scottish guys on here seem nice enough Be nice for a roadtrip to come to wales we have the best natural spots EVER

lmao that boy is nuts! As soon as I saw the intro and the picture I just assumed that it was a dan good drawing, but fook me it must have been a basic silouhette? haha Awesome video ben, yet again I've had to download and keep and store on my hard drive Loving it sooo much!

thanks ben, ill take note

Yeah! Its so nice to see Aran on la bike again!! what-a-legend! Good video guys, alex not riding?

I think its definitly possible to attend comps with shit atmosphere, and that all does depend on which groups of people turn up. But you're guaranteed those people that are more well known on the streets for example, fat mike, matt burrows, matt staples and andrew chai, they'll provide oodles of fun I think this topic's been discussed about 3 times now so im not going to say anymore. I defend the comp scene from accusations of poor organisation and poor atmosphere because the british rounds ive been to (and to be fair, the only comps i've been to) neither have been present.

yeah! everyone goes to just chat bollocks with everyone else! Dave kerr goes to try and pull 40 year old wives

you were possibly told that because the person thought you had the capability of winning if you tried hard? But to be honest I'd take the same reaction as you, no one can 'make you' take a comp seriously especially if its not the reason you're there. I can understand if that sort of action makes you not want to go, but I've never been told that myself.

Trials-Forum Video -> Full View • Download • Upload Yeah that was the fruits of the very brief - Freeride trials club we had. Im afraid that event wont be happening again. Ive still got the video to that comp too: eegoendidee

mint stuff guys, nice one Looked like so much fun, wish I'd gone lol Roll on koxx days eh

well the second picture looks a bit uninteresting... - flat ground lol but that river section could steal hours of riding from me I feel

Phil is taller than Adam....bare that in mind.... Phils pretty cool and does a really good service everytime

38 seconds, the guy in the front with the stick, I was expecting a very dramatic sound, and i heard nothing! what was he doing? lol 80kg of blu tak, wow id like to see a picture of this. heres a blu-tac spider:

how gay...Ill upload to trials tube one day. If you have a tv.isg.si account you can download it though

http://tv.isg.si/site/filebrowser/partz Exeter Final.avi I enter comps and its a great laugh. I love the UK nationals... mostly because every round is different and they're spread all over the UK. Its such good fun going road tripping to scotland, or blackpool or surrey. I guess some people just can't be arsed trying something different

Sorry bongo, but you know if you ran a supermarket and priced the tinned tomatoes at 1p, you'd have a lot of angry customers complaining why they cant have them. Although, correct me if Im wrong, but once the sale has gone through, then its a legally binding contract? In the real life situation, if a customer comes up to me with a coat on a sale hangar, saying its £2, they'd try and tell me I have to sell it at that price when really its not until the point of payment that i have to sell it for the agreed price. Hell, I could tell them its £300 before they pay and change the price if i wanted, so long as its all done before tender is given. Soooo if people haven't been charged then sorry, you wont be getting them I think I've gone away from your point john of it being a good friend to most people on here and people were taking advantage, but then again to some people, Trials-uk is LITERALLY just a shop. im not thinking really straight cos im eating super noodles, but I think you get my point.

probably a bit useless, looks better in R/L

how do you know if your clip's been aired? If anyone see's me climbing a rope in dunkirk, and then falling off let me know

Loved it, you've done really well on the editing! Title screen is mint, very professional and the rest of the video is captivating to watch! Its nice that you've added some bails from vincent too, its nice to know hes not invulnerable in a trials way! Great stuff, downloaded!

I actually didn't realise they did a hydro one too, I've had my eye on these cable ones for a while and I think I'll get one if my bb7 gets shagged

"I wanna be on you"
