  1. May be up for this, get Friday afternoons off college now so I could be in the city for 1ish . If Paul and others want to ride Sunday though I'll come then instead, the weather for Sunday looks better too.
  2. 'twas indeed an awesome ride, especially given the conditions. Joe your riding was sick, i'll definitely try to get down to see you some time. Jon you'll have to get the footage from the whole ride sorted and post it up if you can. Maybe merge it with the what Adrian took two weeks back if you can get it, or if he can get yours let him do it?
  3. I though George was bringing his (Pauls), i'll bring mine anyway just in case
  4. Really shite, 'tis very wet and drizzling in Dereham with no signs of bright sky anywhere. To top it off it's bloody windy too . Needless to say I ain't gonna bother. EDIT: been persuaded by Joe and George, 'tis still on
  5. that'll do fine, like they say every little helps. Shall try to remember to bring it with me
  6. dunno about give, a small donation to my ''i'm a poor student'' fund wouldn't go amiss, lol. By the way it's 32 hole
  7. I should be there Sunday, looks like it'll be pretty good. I've got a non-disc front wheel - XTR hub with a 521CD rim, or I have a silver 521 rim sitting on a knackered Deore hub. Let me know if either are of interest. George, you're confusing me - I don't wanna piss on Joe's fire but won't you be needing the 4 bolt mounts or have you sorted something else out now? Adrian, the quickest way to remove the anodizing is caustic soda. Leave it to sit a bit on the rim then attack with fine wire wool or sand paper, a cloth may even do it depending. It'll save a lot of time and elbow grease.
  8. I've decided i'm going to try and get there for sometime around 11, hopefully you lot can keep me entertained for a whole day!!! I'll let people know if I change my mind and decide to come later.
  9. Don't know about everyone else but i'm happier starting later, say 1ish, and riding into the evening. That way Dave and Adrian will still get to ride with a few people. If you're all gonna ride 'till late then i'll just turn up a bit later, otherwise i'll get bored and want to go home before they turn up.
  10. Hi there, i'm from Dereham in Norfolk but will often travel around for a good ride. There's a few more people listed in this thread as well: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....p;#entry1157031
  11. I'm free to do either day but can't be bothered with both. Why not leave it a week and all ride next weekend instead if the turnout's gonna be poor, just a thought. Knowing you lot though you'll all ride next weekend as well anyway so.....
  12. A 521 ceramic on a Hope Mono actually, rim's probably a bit narrow for your frame though. If you're interested pm me, it's the best way to get in touch as I check my emails every morning and night. If there's a decent number of people still wanting to ride tomorrow I should be able to make it for any time, been busy in the hangars recently so haven't known 'till now what I was going to be doing. It would be good to ride a 26" Leeson if you come George, see how it compares to my machine.
  13. Poor excuse. Take the pain, be a man - or maybe you can't, lol
  14. Riverside multistory opposite the station is £1.20 an hour fixed to £6.20 if you stay over 5 hours I think, St Andrews multistory is £5 all day and is about a 5 minute ride to the station. Because i'm nice see here for a map of all the car parks (St Andrews in the middle in yellow, Riverside to the right also yellow) http://www.norwich.gov.uk/intranet_docs/A-...er_Spring06.pdf and here for prices of most the cheapest ones, though Riverside's not on there for some reason: http://www.norwich.gov.uk/intranet_docs/A-...harges_0107.pdf Now you have no excuse, haha
  15. Hey Jamie, a few of us were out your way last Sunday, no doubt we'll be there again - keep an eye on rides/locations, there's always something going on somewhere in the area.
  16. Looks like this is going to be a good one, weather's s'posed to be ace too. I'll try and get to the station as close to 11 as possible but have to go to Jessops first and they don't open till then, i'll get in touch if i'm gonna be really late. Can't wait.

    Headsets?

    A headset removal tool is the best idea but proper ones are expensive. You can make one much cheaper using an old seatpost that fits inside the headset (the type where you can remove the clamp bit are best). I was gonna explain how to do it but I can't so here's a picture speaking a thousand words: Squeeze the flared bit into one end of your headset and push the tool down 'till it rests on the other cup, then hit with a hammer. Nice and simple and because it spreads the load evenly it doesn't hurt the headset or frame.
  18. seconded, it's what i've used on the rear for the last six months and think it's fine. Good grip and only had one pinch but I do run them at about 40psi, not very trialsy but I can't stand soggy tyres try here: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....showtopic=30829 you should still be able to find most of them online somewhere
  19. i'll try and make this one, been too long since i've been out for a proper ride.
  20. haha, you knows it!!! If you phone up Clive (Mr Lesson) you'll find he's an awesome bloke happy to speak for ages about his masterpieces and regardless of first/second/third/whatever owner he'll treat you the same. My 609 was second hand but when I rang him he sorted me with a new hangar and tensioner for next to nothing and offered to repair the dent I put in the stays as soon as I mentioned it without me even asking, he may charge a small fee but it would only be very small. I think he's a top bloke making top frames, mines taken the beating of a lifetime with only a couple of dents to show for it and I have more faith in this frame than any other I have ridden.
  21. May be coming along depending on the weather, probably bring a mate too. Todge are you still going? John who rides with you at uni on a Planet X says he's been trying to get in touch about tomorrow. It'd be good to see you again if you're gonna be there.

    No Worries

    This comp has all gone a bit pear shaped. It seems the poll with the proper title was the one that got deleted. Maybe it'd be worth editing the title of this one if you could yoyoyo (or maybe a mod if that's possible) so people know what its about and bother to look in, maybe more people will vote that way. As it stands it's a tie between four people and its gradually falling to the darkest depths of the forum.
  23. A true legend. , on Christmas day too. RIP
