roboff

Sorry to hi jack the thread, thought i might aswell put this in here rather than start a new one. Basically, im doing okay with pedal ups, and rolling gaps, i can get on to curbs from about a bike and halfs length. The problem is in getting height, i can get up two pallets and thats about it, i think im going to fast because im just ploughing into the side of it. Any tips guys? Thanks alot

Just get a rubber band and colour it in.

Have to say the purple bolts are my favourite bit.

I always eat flapjacks when i go on my XC bike, for slow release energy. Suppose trials comps would be more mental focus aswell, best advice would to keep hydrated.

Not sure about the seat, might look okay. Please dont paint it though, looks good and it still has its stickers on, sure its got a few scrathces and what not, it all just adds to the character, you'll be robbing it of its identiti, keep it as it is!

I like listening to Jamie T, both his albums are pretty good, or if you need to get pumped, Papa Roach. If your into hip hoppy stuff try Aesop Rock, think his albums called None Shall Pass.

Well the spacing on my forks is about 80mm, my Vee mounts on the back are more like 90 something, so it would never really fit. I think thats because its just a mountain bike one, which is why it fits fine on the front. Rather than a trials specific one built for wider rims and stuff. So if the spacing of your rear mounts is more than 80mm, it wouldnt fit, you could file it out to 84 max id say, but otherwise it shouldnt fit. The only one i can see fitting the rear is the Echo one on tarty, its a bit more expensive, but im sure its worth it, just check your spacing before you buy one. Plus it looks pimp as. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/vbrake_boosters/echo_vbrake/c106p13.html

I got a Brand X one for christmas, i run it on the front. It seems to work pretty good, for a fiver you cant go wrong anyway. Only problem was it wouldnt fit on the back for some reason, the spacing was off, but only by a few mm, you could just file it out i suppose. Also its a cream colour, not white like the picture

I much prefer mine with a brake, most people i know only do it to look cool, or so they dont 'pussy out' on things. Fair enough there are some really good brakeless riders, but if you need to take the brake off to help you do stuff, you need to man up. Same goes for saving weight, how much can a brake weigh?

Ahhreyt, If its painted then im not sure if clears will stop it coming off, they work on anodized ones, cause they are fine on mine. Even if it does take it off, you'll still get better brakes, worth a shot.

Best bet would be to get some clear pads, think fly do a set that are supposed to be good, called zapatas or something. However it will wear off eventually, due to friction and stuff, and may i ask what this rare rim is aswell?

That is very nice. Chrome is the bomb, shame some idiot painted my Handsome Dog before i got it

Great video, that second song is awesome, it was on tony hawks pro skateboaring on the psone, havent heard that in time.

The guy in the white pants is awesome, almost as awesome as his pants themselves.

This happened to my friends profile on his bmx, i thought it was funny how the spokes didnt break though. I assume radial lacing wont help either.
