Does your chain have any tension :S

The chain has been soted now ben its alot tighter.

when you say nitromorse it where you get it from and how you use it ? . and wouldnt you get the same finish by just using sandpaper and then using finish paper to make it shiny and smooth ???

I doubt your'd get the same finish from sandpaper, but nitromorse is easy to get hold of. Just go to your local Halfords and get some. It's about £5-6 a tin, then all you have to do is paint it on with a brush, and keep going until it completely stripped. Took my brother 3 days to completely strip it.

Here you go mate,

Looks like an awesome ride, you're gonna have a fair few people asking what those forks are, so you may as well just let us all know. Look like they could be Pace but I don't know much really.

I dunno why people aren't riding gears anymore, I guess it's because you don't need them for comps, and we all like riding really slowly stood up.

So let me know what you think, tips are always welcome!

I'm still fidling with the bar setup. Because I am a tall bloke. Should I slap on some higher risers or put on a higher stem?

My Base built up with a mix of old downhill parts and new bits from work. I used to have a T-bird years ago( the lx brake and levers were from that actually) but thought I'd get back into trials for something I could just go out my door and ride. Too bad its getting too frosty and icy where I am to ride much now.

And my home made tensioner: part of a stabilizer bracket, bushings and bolt from a knacked tourney mech, the packaging off a sram gripshift, and some electrical tape. I might get a proper spring for it but you can get elastic bands anywhere!

It almost runs without a tensioner anyway but I don't want to risk it eh
