When something is broke on your bike and it takes a week or 2 to get it fixed do you wait and get it done or do what ever you can 2 make it work while you are waiting for the parts or what ever ? i just thought i would see what you guys did because my king broke for now and i am going to put a onza wheel on it with rear free wheel for time being while king going to be fixed

If you can't fix it either cry :( , or take off your bars and do some pretend parkour trials :lol: . though you might look a bit silly running and jumping around walls and rails with just your bars and no bike underneath you :$ , still a bit of fun though :P .

I've been off my bike for the past week waiting for new cranks - They're expected to arrive tomorrow so I can have a serious weekend of catching up :)... Not riding trials for over a week has made me seriously consider getting a second trials bike... That redundancy is what I've got already with my XC bikes - I've justified having two XCish bikes thanks to one being a hardtail (and 6 years old) and the other a full suspension one.

Sorting the cranks has been the only proper mechanical I've had since I bought the bike over 6 months ago... That and two punctures, quite a few brake blocks and one Magura crossover (All fixed without outside spares/spares ordered in advance), so getting another trials bike involves dropping a lot of cash on a bike that will get very little use... And it'll impact my blackjack and hookers budget... :(:P
