Sponge Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) Spot of bad news: shop phoned me a few mins earlier (now its like 10 o clock morning) saying that the factory decided to send them 12 pairs of red Echo brake pads instead Sorry to those of you who wanted Zoo pads... I'm unsure whether or not I can get them in time, as it takes a good while for them to come in...I'll try and get em ordered today. No promises it'll come though to Simpson: all decent stems (ie Echo ones) are entirely outta stock in shops, only some pirated-Taiwan ones in stock now, probably with crap geo or weak manufacturing. And I already got the last Control fork for someone else, who asked me earlier than you did. sorry!to terror-error and others: the Puma silver trainers are Chinese size 45, so just convert into UK size. Its got one velcro strap for each shoe, and is a relatively thin-soled shoe compared to BMX and skate shoes. It's light and grippy on pedals I find. It slightly resembled other trials shoes, so I thought I might as well give my red pair some trashing. I bought them for around £10-£15, not sure, gotta ask my mum. If anyone's still after that silver pair reply in this topic, and just state a decent price (I'll keep it low, but I want a bit of profit at least!). This pair probably costs at least £40 in England... Dam, got about 6 PMs to read, and about 5 people added me on MSN during my sleep.

Walleee Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) £20-25 for the pumas?I'd ideally like to have a better look at them but I do need some soft soled shoes.Get in touch regardless of what you think of the offer, it is negioatable.Edit: I havn't sent you a PM or added you to MSN for the reason that im sure it's starting to piss you off, as shown by your sig, but seriously, get in touch.

mods Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 those forks are four bolt but don't look like they have a disk mount...!! can you buy them here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 No, those Control forks have disc mounts too .I think I should really make it clear that I only get stuff specially for certain people I know well. Unless I specifically say that something is up for sale.

downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Hmmm, what size are the pumas in english sizes?On my trainers im wearing ATM (size 9 UK) they say "43 1/3 FR" think thats french? must not be much diffrence between french and chinese?Anyways, they too big for my wee feet Ah well Cheers anyways dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) Well, you know what they say about big feet Nevermind that, erm it is just 45 chinese size, its not a perfect fit on me, still a centimetre or two space in the front end when I squish my feet inside. But I find it ok, as I can grow into it a bit more maybe... The silver set pictured can be for sale, around the £25 price mark. I can get more pictures of certain areas if you request them. I'm using the red pair.For those of you craving Zoo pads, or a Zhi shirt... I am most likely going to be holding some sort of a little TF game soon, so 2 of you can win something. Depends how many are left over.EDIT: terror-error, I think that the Pumas are likely to be maybe size 13 UK, dunno exactly, but thats a rough guess. It's a wee bit bigger than some of my other shoes Edited July 22, 2006 by Sponge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downhill_rob2@hotmail.com Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Well, you know what they say about big feet Yeah, big socks EDIT: terror-error, I think that the Pumas are likely to be maybe size 13 UK, dunno exactly, but thats a rough guess. It's a wee bit bigger than some of my other shoesIm a size 8 Not 13 haha. ah well Unless you could maybe buy another pair in size 8? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Isn't size 8 tiny? Most of the people in my year have size 10-13 feet. And we're in the middle of our GCSE course. I don't think I can get another pair that small, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_Elding Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Bloody hell size 13, do you turn green when you get angry aswell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 My bad guys! The Pumas are more likely to be around size 11 I think, I'm a fool when it comes to shoe sizes :$ Thanks for not being 'one of them', Jake and Joe, I turn green all the time. rarrrghh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz M Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 ok lol, have you heard any stats from the chinese riders? how big there going and stuff? id be really interested to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Some are pretty decent, considering the short amount of time some have been riding. 2 of the riders I've been hanging out with have around 48" sidehops/taps. I can certainly notice that they aren't as dropgap-happy as most of the UK riders!!However, they were very keen on what trials is like in england in terms of:1. General standard and riding style2. What parts are popular3. Prices in UK (they felt lucky afterwards)4. Craig and Neil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 (edited) Sponge, i'll definately have them shoes. Let me know what to do regarding getting money and such to you. Im not in any particular rush either.Thanks for getting back to me Edit: just to clarify for other's, they are UK 10.http://shoes.about.com/od/sizemeasurementc...mensintsize.htm Edited July 22, 2006 by jake1516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Have you met DENG? Is he a millionaire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sponge Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Have you met DENG? Is he a millionaire? I haven't met him, no. But I can talk to him on the phone, or even Yao Zhi for that matter. As one of the shopkeepers was willing enough to let me have a small chat with their friends Deng and Yao. But I see no point, Deng's just gonna send over some anthrax to my place if I be honest about certain products of his. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
