I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet but, little jippy chavs always seem to have older brothers who've just come out of jail round where I live. Its not a question of facing off to them because you will get killed. Back to general chavs, a couple of weeks ago one of my mates - over 6ft, beefiest person you've ever seen, at 16 he looks like he's 23?! - got beaten the sh*t out of by loads of them, for no apparent reason. Then when another of my friends stepped in - another 6fter - he got knocked out, and its not like he can't usually handle himself. My mate ended up arrested for his own pretection and the police did bollocks all about the chavs...because that makes me feel safer being in town in the evenings?! This sort of thing happens too much here, a girl i knew got bottled and ended up in A&E with a chunk of glass sticking out of her stomach. What ever happened to not hitting girls?! The police are scared to be where they know chavs will be in the evenings so they hang around in the safe areas stopping us from riding there! ...well that's the end of my rant. Will

I used this How-to: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=46301 ...and mine worked perfectly! Did mine outside in winter, didn't use any lacquer, and it's never chipped. Just keep your frame and paint in the house for a bit before hand to make sure that they're at the same temp. Also I found it handy to hang my frame then hold a newspaper behind it as I sprayed so that it didn't go everywhere. Cheers, Will

Have you guys tried getting at nopogo's vids using an ftp program? I suggest filezilla, and the info(ftp address etc.) was on the nopogo site last time I checked. If not I might have the vid somewhere. EDIT: Yup I have it here if anyone wants it. Nopogo Days J1? Add me on re_assurance@yahoo.co.uk if you can't be arsed with the ftp. btw, good vid!

Hey, Point partly just wondering, and also the ease of use and compactness that you get with four-bolt frames and adapters. And I use the term weld very loosely as I'm not at all familiar with anything to do with metal work! So sorry If I seemed an idiot. I'm guessing this isn't something that is done regularly so I think maybe I'll stay away from it and wait till a new frame comes my way! Thanks for the advice any how. Will

Ah ok. Lol thats probably why I couldn't find any old topics on it. Thanks for your help anyways (Y) . Will

Hi all, I ride a Giant Trials Team frame and, seeing as I rather like this bike and don't have the cash or reason to buy a new frame just yet, does anyone know of anywhere that would be able to weld magura 4-bolt mounts in place of my canti posts? Any help or advice would be greatly welcomed. Thanks Will
