Just a wee post to say thanks to Amanda at http://www.trialsbits.com/.

2 new Pirelli tyres, 2 mudguards, 2 levers, 1 hd rimlock and a kill switch for less than

Is it just my connection or something? but when I click 'Add To Basket' it takes a loooooooooong time?

Could be your connection or just the internet was busy Matt, but I never had any problem with it.

Much cheapness though

Nice avatar wallace, seems very familiar

I set the trends, then move on

I don't think you were the first with the hots for Katy now were you richard?

Stop bickering about who was first you two! Dabster you're too old for her, let the poor lad have a chance

And by the way, that site didn't seem that cheap. That's top whack for tyres isn't it?

And postage doesn't seem to be free for everyone?

I must admit I've not looked at too many of the other prices, but just the few I looked at seemed fairly average.

****Had to edit this one - there are some good prices in there, tyres are fairly average, but I just ordered some other kit tonight.****

What the hell are these? Ive never seen them before, how do they/it work?

They're a teflon coated piece of plastic. You wrap them around your bar under your lever perch in case you're too thick to leave the bolts slightly slack to allow for rotation of the lever in a fall.........

Sorry mate but its the only pic I have of the bike I just bought

You could sue me for copyright or plagiarism or something

Or, I could substitute it for a picture of my butt but I do'nt think you'd like it.

On a more serious note, I,m having a wee bit of trouble getting that rear tyre to fall into the rim. One side is ok but the other side has about 15 inches that wont line up. I squirted lots of Fairy liquid on and blew it up to 45lb but the bugger just will not budge that last wee bit.

Any suggestions anyone?

Use tyre soap and 60 psi

Yup just more air Wallace!! Never used tyre soap, just good old fairey and blow the bugger up till she pops on. I usually go to 70psi ish , once she pops then youve got enough in, watch yer eyes for flying fairey though!!! I once had me eyes filled when the tyre popped on and fairey exploded into my face !! Not good , especially when you try and wash yer eyes so that you can see again and all you do is make bubbles!!

I'm going to resist the temptation

On a similar subject, I got my beader from Spain. Nice little bargain, only 17 euros.........plus 30 bloody euros for P&P

No way of telling the postage when you checkout, they add it afterwards. Once bitten twice shy.

Just noticed that these lot sell them for

. Going for a dry attempt.

I can see how it could work. Going up nicely with foot pump until it slips out.

he he he , im biting my lip pretty hard!!!

alot of people i no just spray wd40 on the bead of the tyre and pump it up and it just pops on then just wait untill the wd drys and your good to ride

Ahhhhhh....Beader!!!!

This inch thick rubber is giving me problems. Just as I get to the point where I think everything's going to pop, it slips out and it's back to square one.

Tried it with and without lubrication now and the same result.

No inuendo intended much

Scrapped it for the night, need to get the big compressor on it tomorrow.
