  1. change front to 20tooth, then use 16 on the back! I did it, 'tis beautiful. Ad you can get a 'Burn 20tooth for like 12 quid I think.
  2. If you feel like spending about 200 quid you can get a bike "box". No not a cardboard one, its made of plastic or something, and full of padding and pockets inside. Bit heavier, more expensive, buit its pretty much a guarantee your bike will get there in 1 peice! www.stonehengecycles.com is my local who can get them. I wouldnt know who else does...... Tarq
  3. Magura Kool-Stops on a medium grind - perfect! I have been using this.....forever, and been telling a fellow rider how good it is, and he changed to this the other day from Heatsink blues. After he complained they wouldnt work in the wet, but Koolstops do! Excellent grip and they last forever. Oh, and you dont break the sound barrier everytime you brake!! Tarq
  4. Planet X Mk2 (not made anymore) Koxxlevel Boss 1100 (Dont think they are made anymore) = my frames! Tarq
  5. Woo Hoo for me! I joined before the validation system was even invented! Woooo God I suck Anyways, I guess people will complain about bad grammer as we all want TF to keep its high level of greatness. So the sooner we tell people about their mistakes or whatever, the sooner they can contribute to the number one trials forum in the world! - Trials Forum!! Tarq
  6. Thing is, if someone wants help with something, theres noone here who wouldnt help if they knew how to. It just helps if we can actually read what the problem is, without spending half an hour analysing every word! I doubt he talks the way he writes in real life, so why type it? Even if you are going to use abbreviations for words, at least use some that people know. I think one of the most complained about things on here regarding new members is their use of grammer. So something must be going wrong somewhere! Tarq Oh, and can anyone tell me if he is saying I cant ride? Or I cant read? Or something else.....
  7. Ok thats just getting worse!!!
  8. Continental Diesel 2.5 Stupidly grippy, never pinches, and mine still has tonnes of grip after nearly 2 years of riding.....
  9. I think it is English you know guys. Just that strange variation - Chav (Like Celtic to Scottish or something) Glad some of you could understand it, I didnt have a clue what he was talking about!!! Tarq
  10. When I was learning to backhop, I basically tried to wheelie a foot or so forward, then hit the brake. Wheelie again, hit the brake, so I was kinda doing mini wheelie/manuals. Then from there just keep kicking harder and harder till you start lifting off the ground! I managed to learn backhops in less than 4 hours using this method. Ok, so they werent perfect, but I still had something to work with! If you can manual/wheelie you should be ok using this way! Tarq
  11. 21 Just over a week ago (10th) Woooooooooo
  12. Look above your last post 49cc. Thats pretty much flouro. Wont be much different in real life! Tarq
  13. Oi! I did them. Yellow and pink you say?
  14. Omfg, this is how bored I am waiting to go for a ride. Anything in particular you were looking for? And incase you go mad.....
  15. Prehaps a side-on pic would be nice? And maybe slightly higher resolution so its easier to 'shop. I might have a go if you can do that. Gives me something to do!! Tarq

    Shoes

    I use Oakley hiking (kinda) trainers. Pretty flat bottoms, super comfy, dont slip off your feet, and with them being for hiking, they have mega grip on the bottoms!
  17. Sorry dude, but do a search. There are waaaay too many "What frame should I get" threads. See what people answered to all the others
  18. I believe AlexRims were the first wide rims, then Koxx and other people kinda stole them and drilled holes in them. Allthough now I suppose they have changed and are making their own rims now.
  19. Depends which rim it is. The mission I bought 5 years ago had an AlexRims DX32 on the rear. Which Im still using now without any problems. Strong and light, I aint complaining! If its that one, then I dont see why you shouldnt get it! Tarq

    Emo...

    Says they class Emo as "under thirties" I think. And anyone over is one of the old skool Goths from back in the day.

    Emo...

    What a bunch of cr*p! I dress like an emo alot of the time, and used to have longish hair (sometimes black) that went over my face. Did I feel like dying or injuring myself? No. Was I depressed and thought the world hated me? No. I wear what the hell I like and do what I like. Just cos so many people look a certain way, does it mean they want to kill themselves? Methinks not.

    Laptops

    Number 1 or 3. 3 you get 20GB more harddrive, 1 you get the funky fingerprint security. Hard choice, but for less money the smaller 60GB harddrive & fingerprint one grabs me better. (1) To be honest performance wont be much between these two.
  23. Still 6 days to go bud. It wont do anything until the last 2, maybe 3. Then it will get interesting!!!!
