mafu26 Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Me and mike (leedstrials) went out for a ride in leeds last night. Was going quite well then i went over the bars, bike did a frontflip and mike pointed out i;d snapped my lever blade off. not too arsed we carried on, got to this concrete bank and started trying some stalls onto a pallet after a few goes realised my drivetrain didn't feel all to great. checked it out turns out i snapped my chainstay! so don't say your not superstitious! also my flatmate fell asleep on the bus and missed his exam... haha.pics: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....lbum&album=1298 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 To be fair, that chainstay is f**ked. It's been looking to snap for a good few weeks. Superstitious? I had the best day of my life in months, if not years yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nick Riviera Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 et24 at a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SQuiT-man Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Id guess its an et24 aswell.Thats well unlcuky though, but how were u not that bothered that your front brake had snapped off, and continued riding? lol. I find its really hard to ride without the front brake when you are used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sameer Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Totally off topic but holy hell, talk about a blast from the past! I remember you from the TK forum pre-2000.That is the coolz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mafu26 Posted January 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 (edited) haha and the frame is... yeah its an ET 24. Had it over a year though so i'm not too fused. When i noticed the frames were being sold off for £180 i decided to buy another one for when the one i was using at the time broke. Its the drive side crank and its the one i side hop onto (alot!) so it was going to go eventually.. Gotta ride into uni now so heres a pic of the bodge i've done and the one on my mech to stop my mech hanger breaking (mikes creation). Please don't shout at me, love my bodge jobs! Yeah that was me ageeees ago. haha think i remember you too matey. It was a really good ride and i couldn't be bothered to go home yet cos i was still full of energy. Try riding without a front brake and theres still alot you can do! Mike rode without one for quite a while too so i don't think he was gonna let me go home early. Its quite good doing sidehops. Bike didn't land on me, was quite funny actually cos i was trying something really small and stupid. Hard to explain. Just had a cool idea for a silly comp.. take obscure pics of frames and people have to guess in a poll or something to see what everyone thinks. I think the gallery should have updated itself but here's a link anyway.http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....lbum&album=1298happy bodge jobs Edited January 15, 2006 by mafu26 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Unlucky, can't expect it to last forever, going by all the other ET24s . I had a brilliant Friday 13th! Probably know why Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
