It looks like the weather is going to stay bad, unless it changes massively I won't be heading up, sorry guys. Adam

Best video I have watched all year! Makes me glad I have bought a Hex, deffinitely time to start enjoying riding again!!! Well done on a great video Mark!! Adam

That Dakota Roche vid is epic! the hop over rail drop to manual around halfway through was mental!! Adam

Give the king a chance, I ran kings for years and never had issues, I then went to a FFW for 2-3 years but am now back on a king, it feels strange, but I doubt I will change it! Adam
-
Rob did say he was swapping with you, I wouldn't be worried too much, I expect I will ride this mostly TGS style, it is just a much more chilled out style of bike to ride, I don't feel the need to push for higher and higher stuff now, I just want to have fun!! I am still aching like a bitch after riding on monday!! Adam

After selling my Echo trial 24 back at the end of summer I decided to get another bike, and after seeing a real bargin in the forsale section I thought I would give it a try, so this is the streetiest bike I have had in probably 8-9 years!! It is going to take alot of getting used to and I am suffering from my first ride out on it yesterday, aching like hell right now! Spec: Inspired Hex Frame Tryall forks BBB 110mm x 35deg stem Trialtech High Rise bars Rear 05 Magura with TNN LGM pads Front Hope Mono Trial 190mm Rear CK Singlespeed on Echo TR rim with Holyroller tyre Front Trialtech disc hub on Mavic rim with mostly slick try-all tyre Trialtech cranks, unsure what bash and sprocket. Inspired Pivotal Saddle and Post Welgo MG1 pedals. My Current Bike Stable: Adam

Stretching the spring in a King is actualy a REALLY bad idea, I can't remember exactly the reason why (Hopefully someone from tartybikes will chime in) but I remember my first King had a stretched spring and it tried to kill me on more than one occasion, I replaced it with a new spring and it was spot on for years!! Adam

Awesome idea Ben! This will give me something to have a bash at on my new bike! I have a couple of riding spots that would be great for this, just need to choose one now..... Adam -
Looks great, but cutting brake mounts off some £150 forks is just mental! Adam
-
Looks Great Lewis! I keep looking at hex's as I quite fancy one to riding more interesting again!! Adam
-
Great clips Johny! GLad to see you back on a bike, it looks like you need to try and relax a bit more when your on the bike! Cheeky begger you! That was at my heaviest, around 2 years ago! And I wasn't really riding much at that point, I used to sit around the 19-20st mark, Working on bringing it back down to the 18st and under mark now! Adam
-
I hate to say, but £5 is not enough, £25posted would be more like it! After all it is in very good condition and is a very rare colour! Adam
-
Now then: One Turquiose 32h CK classic hubshell, this colour is actually very rare, I wasn't planning on getting rid, but I will never have a use for it any more! Apparently the Viz blue hubs are quite a good match for this! And for my next trick........ Adam
-
There is a possibility that I have a 32h CK hubshell somewhere, I will see if I can dig it out tomorrow! Adam
-
Really enjoyed that video, serious riding, can't wait to see how he does in the big competitions next year!! Adam *Still think the bar angle looks horrid though, Doesn't look comfortable when riding on 2 wheels at all!
-
Glad to hear that the shimano levers are working well on the TR calipers for you, It made a massive difference to mine! Adam

I have also just got an S3, I wanted a case because I thought the phone actualy felt too smooth, an would just slip out of my hands, so I bought this case: http://www.ebay.co.u...984.m1497.l2649 I don't like things to be too bulky in my pocket and this case is such a good fit and pretty thin (although feels pretty tough) one guy actualy didn't think it was a case! Although I doubt it would really be suitable for climbing, like has been suggested, either get a cheap phone to carry or leave it in your bag at the bottom! Adam

After looking at the weather it might be worth doing this on another day, it looks like its going to be VERY wet! Adam -
Cligga Head, Perranporth, Bank Holiday Monday!
Bigman replied to Bigman's topic in Member Organised Rides
I have seen quite a few people up there walking, as there is a nice coast path that runs up from perran porth, but no one has ever said anything when i have been there on the motorbike, mind you I have only been there on that once before! Adam -

Anyone Riding Almost Anywhere In England On Friday....
Bigman replied to Rich Pearson's topic in Member Organised Rides
Hey dude, your more than welcome to stay at mine whatever night! I could dust off the bike and ride on friday afternoon as I finish work at 2! I am near coventry, so slightly out of the way, but not by much..... Adam -
Right then Guys! I am planning on riding my roady alot more and my saddle really isn't great, I can manage 15 - 20miles at most before really needing to get off, can anybody recommend a good comfortable saddle for both commuting and general riding, not to expensive either. Thanks Adam

Haven't watched this in YEARS! Love it! Adam

This is awesome, when I have time I will be watching it right through! Adam
