Is that just like saying Zoo isn't Echo then? Just that it's got the same style background in the pictures, all Echo and Zoo parts etc? Has Deng had anything to do with it?

Hmm, I think it'd be better it you managed to find out how many hours you put them through, because I could say that my Slow Reezay's have lasted well over 5 months and still have plenty of tread left, which would be a pretty in-accurate statement as people have completely rinced their's in about 6 weeks (Y)

"Ello mate, you out for a few beer's tonight?" Boooooring . . . .

It'll make about this much difference [----] Even if the wheelbase of your bike got changed to 1100 the reach would still be the same ((Y)) I'm pretty sure that you'll find these extra few mm's added/removed from the wheelbase will make zero difference, I think that Fatty R's have a fork height of 390mm, so this (I'm not 100% on this) will bring the bottom bracket down by 5mm (or less). The bike will still ride like a beast - you've got nothing to worry about :) As said in your other topic about the feel of a bike, it's the reach that counts . . . . .

I've got one of those frames sitting in my shed, rode for about 2 hours (Old Skool T-Mag). I didn't even ask for the thing (Y)

You have the nicest looking bike on the forum: (Y)

Looks amazing, good choice of colour :shifty:

This is actually a really informative topic on wheelbases and the general feel of bikes :D Should be Archived :-

Umm, I'd say too much . . . £2000 - £3000 ish :D

Cool little vid Ben, keep them coming :D

Seemed ok, definatly not the style of video I'd want to watch for ages though! What made you wanna edit a video to that film?

Arh man that sucks, I guess that was the one I sold you a few months back? Sorry to hear about it, has it been a long lasting problem or did it just die suddenly?

Pretty sure at least one of those is silver . . .

That'd work better than any anti-smoking campaign I think! At least on the younger folk, thanks for that though, that's enough to put me off doing all that kinda crap for a good long while ...

I've been pretty good to myself this year, I really wanted to start eating healthy and thought it would be a load of hassle, but it really isn't hard at all. The most difficult one was to stop smoking, I just went straight cold turkey but after a week or two I realised how I didn't need to smoke at all, it really doesn't make evenings that much better. So that must have helped a bit. You shouldn't worry too much about the drinking, maybe if you're a regular beer drinker just get onto the clear spirits or something, Beer's pretty damn unhealthy and if you're like me, leaves you feeling pretty shite in the morning. Double Vodka and RedBull or Coke or Lemonade is pretty snazzy, usually not much more expensive (and occasionally cheaper depending on the pub). But it will do the same job and if you know your limits you don't really need to drink much at all. Even just getting pretty tipsy is alot better than getting hammered and you remember the whole evening :P Then there's the food and drink. They say you're supposed to have like 2 litres of water a day (say 4 pint glasses) which isn't actually that much, I just take a bottle of water with me to school and have it right next to me in lessons or at a computer and I'll just drink it. Fill it up at the fountain and carry on. Drinking lots of water really clears the body out so keep it up. If you're a regular fizzy drinker, don't bother with them, stop drinking them for a couple of weeks and then having a sip makes you realise how they're not really hydrating you at all . . . Food wise, they say you're supposed to have 5 portions of different fruit and veg a day. I've been eating Muesli, with youghurt and Banana in the mornings, put some honey on top and you've got a damn tasty breakfast which is good 'n' healthy (with lotsa fibre too). Even just a bowl of cereal is pretty awesome on it's own, have a banana or apple with it and a glass of orange juice and that's 2 portions of fruit already - pretty simple eh? Lunchtimes, a few sandwichs does the job nicely, plonk some lettuce or cucumber or something with a bit of cheese (I dunno what you like but I'm sure you can find something healthy) with some chicken or ham and you're getting some veg and a bit of protein from the meat (albeit not very much, but you should get a hefty amount at dinner times anyways). OR you can get to Tesco or Morrisons etc and buy one of those packs of Salad, usually along the lines of 'Sweet and Crunchy' it costs about £1 and you get two salads with it. Add some cheese, some Ham and a bit of dressing and you've got a tasty lunch :huh: I'd say I was pretty lucky nowadays, as I basically choose what I have for dinner which means you can adjust your diet whenever you like, though I'm sure your parents wouldn't deny making you a quick and easy but healthy dinner! But all you really need to have is protein (meat), veg and some carbohydrates (from say Rice, Pasta Potatoes etc). So Chicken Stir-Fries do the job really nicely I think as they're a piece of piss to make whilst being pretty tasty if add some soy sauce and some herbs or something. They're are loads of meals which are really healthy, have a gander on Google and see what you can find. Try to eat at around 6 oclock too, as it means that your body can digest all the food and make the most of it. Hmm, that should do the job, get your ass to a gym too if you're feeling uber unhealthy. Leave the chocolate and crisps alone too. Edit: 'kin hell, all these people posted in the same time it took me to write that post. Plus I'm sure there are people on here that really do know their stuff, I've not really got much of an idea but the diet/way of life I've been having recently certainly isn't making me feel unhealthy. :P

Make it Friday!!!

Keep the bike, if you've been doing ok for the past couple of months without riding it and without needing to sell it, just keep it and I'm sure you'll eventually find the time for it (Y)

Not bad at all Nick, I thought you were stripping the paint of the front end? It'll look thuper once you've done that dude :P

Nick you slag, get off Matt's file :(

£72 a month? That's over £800 a year for Trials-Shack - Fook. I say get people to pay for a membership, your costs are far too high and I think that £5 from members is a hell of a small amount of the value of all the videos us cheeky beggars are getting for free. I think Trials-Shack is absolutely fine the way it is, except for the reviewy bits, I just don't think they're necessary, but I can't say I've ever found a problem with the site and how to use it. Edit: Just read your idea about reviewing, is this a review of Trials-Shack or the Video? Either way I still don't quite see the point of it? P.S. If people complain at having to pay £5 - it's their loss, and it certainly keeps your costs down as they won't be downloading and raping as much of your bandwidth.

I'd say it was a pretty silly idea, a disc is more powerful and a better lever feel. Try a mates setup, granted it will be different to the setup you're wanting to get, but it should make you realise how much better your disc is. Plus disc brakes tend to be a lot less maintenance, work in any conditions, pads last for ages (in comparison to vee pads). Keep the disc :(

I'll be there with Curtis-E-Bear and Dan :S 07:33 from Colchester - 11:07 at Portsmouth, bring it on :) Just wondering, when's this after partay beginning? Hopefully not too early so we can get plenty of riding done through out the afternoon/early evening . . .

About 9GB, was bigger but I had to delete a fair few the other week :S

How? Was it a home-job or did you get someone else to make them for you? I think if they were 50mm they'd be utterly awesome, so you must be lurvin' the pads :o

That was a reet cool little video there but, please oh please oh please get a camera man, the video would have been a bazillion times better if a camera man was there, as half the time you couldn't see all of the rider. Funny tune too, and the commentary of the riding was pretty funny, the question is though, what did Jack do when his bike broke? I'm a remmy boy and couldn't see it . . . (N)
