  1. Making the most of the weather if anyone fancies meeting me in liverpool city centre tomorrow some time
  2. Few of us are meeting up around the albert dock about 10ish. Message chris king or matty ireland on facebook for more details
  3. finally time for a new frame, currently riding an '05 to '07 kot ms2 and want something with a similar geometry, but low weight and quite strong/no flex. anyone recommend anything. current geometry is: wheelbase-1100mm, +50mm BB rise, 370mm chainstay length, 72 degree head angle
  4. The frame is the new GT prototype frame, they went back to the +50 bb style so that streetier riders would be more comfortable on the bike
  5. Any news on how he's doing? Hope he gets back on his feet soon
  6. Ive found the 2 finger levers have the best feel with the 2011 hs33
  7. Yes you can, I found it was easier due to the fact the cable twists when opening the bleed port at the lever
  8. so, I've just fitted a basically new try-all H rear wheel to my kot ms2 and there is no brake sound. this worries me as when I had my echo TR rim my TNN LGM's would howl like a banshee. should I clean/sand the pads and white spirit the rim or will I just need to bed the pads into the rim?
  9. The HS33's are great when it comes to power/bite, the lever blade could do being made a bit stronger
  10. I read earlier today that help for heroes has organized a "hero ride" in London. I'm looking to organize one in or around the Liverpool area and need to know how many people would actually commit to turning up and would have a sponsorship form to help raise funds for the charity
  11. saves a few grams, sheds dirt easier when riding natty. however, it can compromise grip if your riding street/TGS
  12. 20" are similar to 26" and are flickier/easier to ride. They feel quite short if you're from a mountain bike background I've found. What I'd do is go on a couple of group rides, have a go on a few people's bikes and see what you think. Bear in mind that each bike is setup for that rider
  13. Depends on what kind of trials you want to ride. If you want to do static gaps/hops then a 24"/26" pure trials will suit you, especially coming from a DH background. However if you want to do more flowy bmx style riding 24" is your best bet
  14. Does anybody know when the new tensile lever bodies are being released and roughly how much they'll cost?
