  1. Tell Neil Tunnicliffe that.....
  2. Down hill is a bit scary but that's part of the fun Especially in yorkshire..... https://vimeo.com/36959178
  3. I have an Mk1 and will be buying a new Inspired as soon as its available........
  4. I like my TT stuff but just because another companies product is cheaper and not trials specific doesn't mean it's not going to perform as well. System ex stuff is usually really good quality. Plenty of people use there stems over trials brands because it's cheaper and just as good.
  5. I've got a fixie and it's a lot of fun. Having ridden pretty much only trials most of my life the simplicity of them really appeals to me over a bike with gears/brakes e.t.c that you have to maintain. The video was cool. I think he kinda ruined the look with whatever finish he painted on them but I love the idea of been able to craft your own stuff out of wood. I hated wood class at high school though so I think I'll stick with good old metal!
  6. A lot of stems look like they come from the same factory. If your not bothered about brands or dealing with other companies than trials ones then go for it.

  8. I just try to wear normal gloves between spots and maybe for warming up.
  9. If I had the money I always just replaced the pads when I replaced the disk unless they hadn't been on for very long.
  10. Me too! Nice set of photos from this ride Ogre.
  11. Love it. Colorful frames with everything else black/silver/white work really well
  12. Its not Cap, I stole it from his FB I don't think he had it on at the weekend.
  13. Because FFW sucks (your jeans in if there not skin tight at the bottom)
  14. You don't need to go crazy with the high rise stuff. That bike according to a little internet searching is only +30 bb where as most stocks these days are around the +55 range. Maybe Just get some TT high rise bars but stick with that stem. Single speed is the way to go. Will knock a load of weight off
  15. While we are here does anyone know the geo of the original foreplay including reach? I'll be selling mine at some point but probably not soon, well see.

  17. Cool, I'd like to go for an explore in Manchester sometime. It's such a big place there's got to be some good riding.
  18. My Manus held up for quite some time even with two dents in it.
  19. Is that spot with the water feature in Manchester? Where about's? Try to loosen up a bit and bend your legs and arms a bit more.
  20. Rich_87 who used to come on this forum back in the day once tried pedal hopping onto a wall and somehow went over it and fell into a bus just as the door opened! Yesterday was pretty embarrassing when I tried a hook but didn't pull up enough and sort of taped the wall sending me backwards and landing on my arse. All the Leeds clubbers loved it :$
  21. There is a nice Inspired seat in the for sale section. Looks like a Zoot with the forks and thinner Holy roller tyre.
  22. I think the real question is how didn't Neil notice this the whole time he had the bike?!
