  1. DJ Memorial Ride Gallery area You can put them in the Deej gallery up there if you want?
  2. What Stephen said. Basically, I only know that your first name is Adam. That is all I know about you. I have no grievance with you or anything like that. After the shit that Dan Ko instigated with his "10% off Viz products as long as you advertise subvertively for me on trials-forum" shenanigans, I'm kinda skeptical of most threads of this nature. For you to give some kind of sketchy half-assed account of how someone fisted your factory and did something or other, creating these fake frames and shit like that - it just sounds like crap, really. It just sounds - like I said - that you're basically just advertising the frame in a different way. I don't really give much of a shit if you think I'm a As I've said, I know nothing about you and you know nothing about me, so your opinion of me basically matters less than... well... not at all, really. Call that a shitty attitude if you want, but just re-read the last few sentences and you'll see that again, I don't really mind. We're all entitled to our opinions (Y) Speaking of, this thread is my opinion. Good luck selling them.
  3. Don't Claim! Seriously, why the hell would you claim for that? You were using a part for trials. It broke. *insert dramatic music* Not having ago at thread starter, just this way that the litigation culture is now extending into trials more than I'd like it to...
  4. This still just smacks of a different way to advertising to me. Just seems to be fronting it as though someone's stolen your designs, and just using it as a chance to show off all the pictures of it, hence the descriptions on Trials-Nation as "Can't wait to build it up (Y)" and stuff like that.

    Ymsa Round 2

    Don't forget you can always ask them how much time you've got left (Y) Admitedly at comps, I tend to shit myself up a bit, so I ride through section at warp factor 10 anyway. Think I did my first ever section in something like under 30 seconds or something like that :P Just powered through it 'cos I was nervous. Got 4th though (Best ever result ^_^) in it though, so wasn't too bad...
  6. Confidence can also be the deciding factor against whether they f**k off or have a go at you. Just get a bit arsey with them, if you're timid they'll just try and exploit it. I've started just basically being cockey when the townies here start shouting, and because the majority of townies would rather not get punched in the face, they will almost all try and avoid getting into a fight. You can always try the old tactic of reminding them that even though they might be able to take you down, you can still get a few punches in there, and it's going to hit one of them.
  7. In fairness, that guy does appear to be built like a brick-f**king-shithouse ^_^ Those weird standard-issue townie-punches (the whole limp arm, flailing approach) didn't seem to work at all... MrMonkey, just so you can try and remember - Stereotypes are often started by ignorant dickheads. Again, bear that in mind. Equally, as someone said before - why the f**k are you all going on about how you'd all carry knives and shit like that? Especially now we're talking about guns. There's no point in even posting about it because it's not going to happen. None of us on here would have the balls to shoot someone (no, not even you Carl (Y) ) let alone stab them or even threaten them with a knife... Anyway, yeah... time to go back to work :P
  8. RIP dude. Renewed the band on the new frame now too.
  9. Auto-Mod For Sale/Wanted topics are no longer allowed in New Members Chat. If you wish to post a For Sale/Wanted topic on Trials-Forum you need to read and follow this - http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....ounce&f=13&id=3 Topic Closed.
  10. The photoshopping skills are definitely there dude! Pretty good job there :P Again, the colour-scheme's questionable, but whatever floats your boat (Y) At least no LOTR graphic this time ^_^
  11. Without tapping? It's the only way I know how (Y) Should learn to tap, might give it a go tomorrow... Anyway, I can get 4ft pretty consistently (which works out as 10" over bar height), aaaaaaalmost got 50" in town - both without taps, obviously. Someone said Jack Barnes can get 50" sans pedal stroke, which I can most definitely believe. That guy's a freaking machine... A few years back, people wouldn't believe you could do some of the stuff "regular" (i.e. non-pros) are doing now, so I wouldn't say anything was impossible. Apart from slamming a revolving door.
  12. Remembered to unscrew the TPA? Either way I usually find that tapping the pistons, cross-over, hosing and lever body with the rubbered handle of our adjustable spanner kinda frees it all up a bit, really. Once you've got one syringe full to go through without any air bubbles, put a few more through (Y) I always find too that covering the end of the vent tube when you re-fill the syringe speeds everything up too, in case you're not doing that?
  13. Yes, but Chris Kings are pretty damn well made, and they still skip occasionally? Hope hubs are really good quality and they still skip? I'm not saying that a super well made hub wouldn't skip, but a general hub made in Taiwan probably isn't going to be "super well made", so I'd be very, very surprised if it didn't skip at least once, which would be enough with just one pawl...
  14. Er, wouldn't that just be you putting the BB in wrong? Or did it come pre-raped?
  15. Does anyone do a White Industries Eno Trials freewheel style hub? 'cos that's got 72 engagements with a ratchet 'n' pawls style system, and they seem pretty reliable, really*? Seeing as that's all that click in a tiny space, they could surely make a hub like that? Would mean there was more room to maneuvre inside, so you'd be able to have bigger, stronger, burlier parts? *Touch wood, anyway :P They go a bit funny at first, but once the initial grease oozes out of the bearings onto the pawls you can clean that off and they work fine :S
  16. Why have cotton when you can have silk though? :S Go onto www.Eengoedidee.nl and search for "Disorder5.avi". Jeff Lenosky, Aaron Chase, et al.

  18. The Bike Industry has already patented those scales, and you can generally tell if it's the Acme Weighing Scales being used by a simple phrase: "Claimed weight" :S
  19. Nuh-uh. That's for making steel girders. However, not the pic and the other possible options :S
  20. Doesn't seem to be happening with Huggy Blair and his Red Tape Cru?
  21. 'cos inbreeding's not the shit. It also prevents sexual abuse from taking place in the family home, theoretically.
  22. Yeah, that's fair enough, it's just that it was a bit... er... OTT :S "f**king die you scummy bastards", for example :P
  23. Apparently, a majority of these incidents happen on public transport. Not many of the 4 members of my family who are in the police force spend their beat going round on public transport. Also, I'm surprised you're even quoting manifesto's seeing as we all know they're virtually 100% bullshit.
  24. You should've seen what he put there before I changed it :) Cuss-tastic...
