  1. What is the front disk like on those?
  2. The most popular combo wold be Zoo bars and an Echo team stem, but i think Echo hifi high stem and the Tryall Rage bars look quite a cool combo.
  3. Yeah i was well suprised when Charlie got validated considering all the arguments he has had on here. Back to topic, Clacton?
  4. Theres a Clacton ride on the 21st of April, we are meeting at the peir at 10.00. Just thought i would post it in NMC so new members could reply. Rides/Locations thread
  5. I got a Giro helmet from halfords, £19.99 bargain
  6. Its long version Its nice, good engagement, hasn't let me down yet
  7. Thats just my patio part where my pallets are, ive got my grass area aswell which is a good size Lol don't you have any other gloves? i have been riding my back garden, ive been doing alot of fishing latley so i havent had a chance to do alot of riding with you.
  8. I think most people would say hydraulic brakes would be the best option. Your friend is right about them splitting etc, but they shouldn't leak for no reason. With the Magura's you can get a variety of pads which work with ground rims, smooth rims and with or without tar. Most people would say a Magura + a ground rim + a set of decent pads would be alot better than a Vee brake but that is there opinion. But a Vee is alot easier to maintain. Personally i would go with a set of Magura's, get a grind on your rim, and buy a set of decent pads.
  9. It just gives that nice bit of bite and hold to the brake, just put 2 or 3 smudges on the rim and you should be fine, don't go over the top. Too much wont mess up your rim, you can always white spirit it off.
  10. Cheers, it rides really nice, so much nicer than my t-pro. And ive got my steerer tube cut down now so its set up lower.

  12. I don't know anything about the Echo team but as for the long issue, i am about your height and just brought a Adamant A3 long (1030mm) and it really isn't an issue. I thought it would be too long but it isn't, it feels really nice.

  14. Its Essex Street Trials, basically a load of s**t that apparently I'm in EDIT: Reece Its 10.30 Colchester castle
  15. Whats up with you lately, know ones changed the arrangements. Even if they did its not up to you, when and where we meet, there are other people riding apart from you.
  16. Yeah ive just got the Adamant A3, i rode it once on some pallets then got tonsillitis the same day, so i have barely ridden it But yeah really nice mate P.S What length did you get your steerer tube on your forks cut down to?

  18. Yeah but 10.30 is a good time to meet up with everyone, remember some people are coming from places that will take longer to get to colchester, we have to think of them. i think 10.40 at north station? EDIT: Weather supposed to be nice sunday
