  1. Only problem is that if we go on Sunday, we have to get off at the station near Big Yellow Self Storage, and then ride the rest of the way, as the train that goes to town doesn't run on a sunday.

    Yea I might come, but it is only a short while after the Chelmsford ride, I might not have enough money.

    It ain't that far to ride, and theres loads of pallets on the way, so its all good. Lets hope you can come tom, I'm there.

  2. You need to have your bike nearly vertical, so you have more control. And i find you use your lower body to shift your back wheel round and your front should follow, push the way you want to go using your feet, at the same time turn your upper body round (Y) I wouldn't try for ages trying to do it, and as someone said, it will just come naturally to you as you keep riding.

  3. Hello Corn on the Cob...den (personal joke).

    Have you ordered your framke yet?

    Has everybody gone to Chelmsford?

    Yeah i have ordered it, read the topic/post's i went for the Adamant A3 Long.

    I don't have a clue, but i cant ride till i got my frame anyway so..

    Oh Charlie when i get my frame, if i bring my little camera out can you film a little video of just me?

  4. As i said in another topic, EST is bulls**t.

    you are on a T-Pro that is a longish bike

    Tom a T-pro really isn't a long bike, some lighter forks would make a big difference to the front end, you will realize once you take them off and feel the weight of the T-pro ones :P. But Charlie i don't think it necessary to make upgrades when you haven't learnt the basics yet.

  5. It is worth getting an Adamant A3 instead of an Echo Lite if you really have to choose between the two. The A3 is made from Ultra 6 alloy, which has a higher ultimate tensile strength than the 6061 T6 that the Echo Lite is made of, therefore the A3 is bound to last longer.

    The extra length of a long A3 over the Echo Lite (which in itself is very short), will have advantages, such as leverage for gaps and so on. The Lite would probably bunnyhop better than the long A3 due to its shorter wheelbase.

    However, both are good frames, with the Adamant being only £80 or so more expensive. The A3 also features the in-built brake booster so that's another plus over the Lite meaning that buying a seperate brake booster isn't as necessary.

    Hope this helped. :)

    Thanks big help. I heard someone say that the A3 is a bit heavy? is this true?

  6. I have the same problem with ISIS I have put a bit of acryllic on the thread of the bolt and it stays in for a bit longer (it works the same as lock tight). I have to get a new crank to stop it completely.

    You have to tighten cranks lots or they will come loose.

    Lol i cant believe Cycles UK advised you to use nail varnish.
