  1. Hehe and is it just a decision he should make to be pro and ride full time? Im sure he would if he could. And why do you think he is putting others down?
  2. No its just the cold colours im on about silver and blue together just makes it look cold. Thought it was magura pads you had on the back oh well. If your looking for trial specific pads try tarty bikes.
  3. Swweeet pictures man! I think a Scottish Muckers trip to Hook Woods must be on the cards for next year!!
  4. Icey cold looking bike there man! Cranks are quite different! Nice and clean looking though. Running cool stop pads on a grind? how you finding them?
  5. Was that the silver Justice? Good buy! Change the forks though, unless your pecks could be in Mens Health!
  6. What did the tshirt say?? im a raging homo and so is he?? Sweet skills. good natty spots too. he he he I noticed. Its got 4 spikes big yin.
  7. Silver ashton with white seat for the win.
  8. Was only a matter of time before someone used that song. Good wee vid there nice mix of street and natural. Whos riding the Ashton?
  9. Most hubs have very few engagements either 32, 36 or 38. King hubs have 72 which means the pick up of the hub is very fine. So instead of kicking forward with your cranks to find the bitr of the hub, with a king its usualy always there as soon as you kick. Most other hubs are run with pawls and springs, whether it be normal compresion springs or leaf springs. This means there may be 3 or 4 engagement points for all the stress to put through but king hubs work differerent. The engagement points all mesh together in the king at the one time thus creating, instead of 3 or 4 points of engaement, 72 points to dissipate the stress. Well I paid for my kings in the states so I paid just as much as a hope would over here so I dont think they are that expensive. There worth it man.
  10. Yea should be fun....slapping your chops. Hope the weather stays as nice as it has been. Will be sunny. )
  11. Too right man, learning to hop on the front wheel is a must! Just to be able to do these moves/tricks.

    song pretty meaty bails there, youve got skills.
  13. Only if your shite. Na youll be fine, just try and practice getting your weight further over the front of the bike. try and learn to save yourself properly when you fall over the front of the bike so when you do you dont hurt yourself. If you fall youll find that youll hit your thighs on the bar and the back wheel will hit your ars/back, so be prepaired. Practise is the key. Hold the front brake and with your chocolate foot forward lighten the back end up and keep your weight over the front wheel. If you dont own "tricks and stunts", buy it. tricks and stunts.
  14. Glad to hear that big yin. cheers for letting me know.
  15. Grrrr if it was 135mm id have one in a flash. looks wel nice.
  16. Did they just appear? Not a fan of the way the frame looks but looks like a very nice build.
  17. Ryan, ok you had a laugh. Who gives a shit! Keep it to yourself in the future eh. Its a bike forum not a comedy, put benches ontop of cars forum. Please dont tell me your going to be running around Glasgow doing shit like that? Im all about having a laugh out on the bikes but doing that then posting it up on the forum is pretty imature. And to the remark you made about feeling hard on the forum for giving abuse, keep that kind of thing to yourself, your never going to win against some people on here. Im only looking out for your forum reputation son. I dont know if having a decent status on here means anything to you, but it does for me, so..... ...Dont be a willy on here, or ill slap your chops good style on Friday.
  18. To all who dont run a booster. Youll be saying goodbye to your frame sooner than youll like. Boosters for the win!
  19. I beg to differ. I think the Rolhofs look sweet, not to mention work the dogs!! Im going to pimp mine out with some drilled out alloy jockey wheels. running a chain without a tensioner on a vertical dropout bike for the loose. There is a fine line between lightening your bike and having it running sweet, I think not running a tensioner to lighten your bike or for whatever reason people dont run them is a stupid idea!
  20. Yea I get you but its still down to preferance. It might be "harder" to ride because the reach is shorter with flat bars..if thats what your getting at?
  21. Ive always thought of modifying one of these into a V adapter for 4 bolts. Just line up this to where the holes are, mark then drill. Would mean less flex on the frame.
