Alternatively, you can take everything off the bashring, and then put 4 strong bolts through some of the pre-drilled holes, then clamp that bit in the vice. It can help keep the bashring steady and stop it from spinning loads, which I found was a bit of a problem when I was trying to remove mine.

I don't really get how I'm being stereotypical? It's just from my experience from when I did swimming races :P

Er, just use google? I bought them from a local motocross shop, so I don't know about online retaillers... £6.85 from there. Don't know what they're like, don't really care either...

You f**king slacker :lol: OK, here's the deal: Imagine Ruffian grips. Now, imagine them a little tiny bit thinner. Now, imagine them with a super soft compound. That's right - soft enough so they don't even hurt when they break in, they just feel lovely right from the get-go. Now, imagine that that compound also happens to be super durable. Yep, they're uber soft, but mine have lasted for 2 months or so with no signs of wear*. Now, imagine them being a tiny bit thicker than Monty foam grips. That's how good they are (N) Mark *Mark's Grip Life-o-Meter: Monty Foams: Tore in a day Ruffians: 3 weeks Azonic/O'Neal grips: Wore them smooth after not so long, plus they were a bit too thick Random foam grips: 2 hours etc. I just seem to tear grips :P I've gone through my Demolition grips in less than 2 weeks :lol:

Are Too Thin Buy Renthal ATV Grips. Erm, 7 words (N) The "Dead skin lumps" are probably just callouses, which everyone who rides a bike for any length of time will get. If you're new to riding, your hands will probably cane a bit, but you'll get used to it :P

Not true, it just suggests people won't seeing as people don't seem to be able to read rules...

Yeah, I noticed the daylight under the BB there... More Vinco-style, less Levelboss I guess...

Is the BB yoke new or something? (N) Not much of a Pitbull spotter so it all looks pretty standard?

It's not much faster (if it is at all :angry:\) than front crawl, and front crawl requires like a tenth of the energy. Yeah, I used to swim butterfly for a swimming team too. It sucked. Hugely. 'specially when on 'race day' you have to swim twice the length you thought you were supposed to :)

Disc rear, V-brake front. Weird combo... Anyway, looks pretty cool. Nice to see something which is a bit different, plus I dig that blue :)

Hook hook hook I hook hook hook hook hook hook didn't hook hook hook hook hook hook think hook hook hook hook hook hook it hook hook hook hook was hook hook hook hook too hook hook hook hook bad. Maybe a bit repetitive though in some points. Didn't really make me want to watch it again. Or even all the way through, for that matter :">

You can't use the one before the one you quoted, foo' :)

Bel-Air.

That's 'cos the Supermix is Supershit. The only decent things are those milk dud majiggers, and they're cheap shit copies of the Bassetts de-lish ones. You got ripped :)

Er, which shouldn't let other people try it? :) I don't really have a problem with it becoming an olympic sport. I ride on my own, and I wouldn't mind having someone else to ride with, pretty much. Chavs can be turned from Chavdom into being actual decent, normal folk too :angry: But either way, if you think of all the cool shit that's happened to you since you started trials, wouldn't it be better for other people to experience that too? So giving it a little more exposure wouldn't be such a bad thing. Shooting is in the olympics too, but you don't see people going round shooting targets at 50m everywhere, do you? Same way you don't see people cartwheeling down the road 'cos gymnastics is in there. Trials bikes are properly specialised now into being low, long and seatless. For a non-trials rider (and even trials riders who prefer shorter WB's (N)), these bikes are beasts to ride. If you're a chav wanker, are you going to want to have to ride a bike which is going to be hard to ride, uncomfortable over any distance, and make you look like a fag, or are you going to want to ride something with, say, a seat, stunt pegs so your retard friends can stand on the bike with you, and so on? Trials bikes simply don't appeal to non-trials riders, so they aren't going to sell well. People under the age of about 14 or so will also generally have their bike bought for them, so whereas parents might go "Hmm, a BMX... well, I guess other people use them and they're kinda practical, OK then", they're going to go "Hmm, a 'trials' bike... well, no-one else really uses them, there's no seat, and it's hella expensive. And you'll look like a fag." It's just not ever going to catch on, pretty much. People who aren't really into it might give it a go for, say, 3 weeks, but then they'll get bored. People who are into 'fads' like that typically end up being a different kind of person: We call them "bladers".

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh... OK, here's the deal: These threads never work. People's opinions are different. Poeple's opinions about who are the better rider don't really matter to anyone else, as it is a personal opinion. As we have seen in this thread, someone goes: A: CLS. B: No, Tunni. A: No, CLS! B: No, Tunni! And so on. Where is this getting you? Nowhere. You won't change anyone's opinions, and at the end of the day it simply doesn't matter. You'll still get to go and ride or whatever whether Mr. X 100 miles away likes Craig more than Neil or tea more than coffee. But fair enough I guess for trying to start an 'interesting thread' :) Mark

Bit of a contradiction there :) Did Ot make them take their front wheel out too and do those gash can-cans?

That's why people from Zimbabwe who will be persecuted upon their return are being deported? :) Shitload closer than America for a lot of places where people are fleeing (European based, leastways)? This is because of taxes though, which help pay for fun stuff like the NHS? General town and city maintainance (like renewing walls that have been bashed to f**k? :P)? Police force? Help maintain the fire brigade and ambulance service too (unless they've both been privatised, not 100% sure)? That sorta stuff? Stopping illegal immigrants coming in won't change the fact that in the general world scene we're still regarded as being c**ts.

Whoa whoa whoa - NASS? Sections? (Y)

Haha, yeah, uber powerful England (Y) You do realise that England isn't as almighty and powerful as you imagine? Hence not having done anything alone previously? And how do you mean "Ending up like this"?

£42 or less, pretty much. Ammendments to passports = £42, Passports themselves = £42... No word on renewal (Y)\ Can try phoning your local P.O. tomorrow/going in there and asking?

Lady-tasche's.

So true (Y) I mean, swimming's just about getting from one point to another, through a stretch of water. Who, in their right f**king mind, would go "I need to get to the shore. I will swim butterfly."? You'd just do front crawl, surely (Y) I just don't get why they have the butterfly stroke...

(Y) When was the last time "England" did ANYTHING on their own?

Er, don't really see the link there (Y) Iraqi refugees mostly went into the surrounding countries, so I don't really see much of a link at all? Terrorist organisations aren't all in a neat little office block with "Terror Co." on the door. Little cells of people all around the world = not possible to "oliberate some shitty little terrorist organisation". Sigh... Monkey, you think you're f**king amazing on here. You think you basically own this forum. However, again, despite your so-called "amazing" brain, you still can't actually comprehend you don't mean anything. Your existence doesn't mean shit. On this internet forum you have quite a presence, but you seem to be letting the fact you can speak your mind on here actually think that you speak for other people. You don't. SAying you speak for '"British" British people' is completely and utterly shit. I'm a "British" person (I didn't bother typing it twice, by the way (Y) ) and I don't really think that immigration is the huge problem that you do. Illegal immigration is a problem. Immigration as a whole isn't. It's the illegality of it's that the problem. However, you're too retarded to notice this. Typically, I don't really speak to people who hold this view like I am to you now. However, this is also typically because people who hold views like your's don't voice it in the "I am speaking for the good people" sort of way you are, and don't generally consider themselves so high above everyone. No doubt you'll probably think of this as another fun arguement to try and start with me, or that you'll have 'won' because I have reacted 'angrily'. But to be honest with you, I actually have a life. I do other stuff. Currently, I am on here whilst my food is cooking. Once that's done, I'm gonna go up to the ramp and ride, then meet some friends. You, however, just play around on this forum. Therefore, a 'victory' in an 'arguement' on here may seem like it makes any difference to you in the real world, but sadly, it doesn't. No doubt again you'll say "But I'm a nice person in real life, so it doesn't matter what I do here" - it's still you, Carl. If you have the capacity to be a total dick on here, it would seem pretty likely that being a total dick is manifested in your personality, otherwise you probably wouldn't do it. Anyway, food's cooked. Shit to do, stuff like that. Feel free to have a differing opinion, but saying this self-righteous "I'm being brave and speaking for the voiceless" crap is just total bollocks.
