  1. LOL and what is that ment to mean? You ride street so you use risers and flats for comps?? No no no my son. People ride what they want, going by what they think feels nicest. I ride Extended viz risers on my zhi, normal tryall risers on my 24" and either azonic double walls 1" rise or race face diablos 1.5" rise on my project bike So risers for the win.
  2. Some thing ive always looked at and thought...how the hell would that work properly!! You must just get lucky with chain tension.
  3. That was good man!! keep it up. one thing I did find quite funny was that the gap to front on the two benches, it was smaller than your wheel base but you still didnt make it.
  4. You can get steel inserts with a m6 or m8 on the outside with a internal thread you can screw your 4 bolt mount bolts into. So what you need to do is thread the stinkin looking holes on that frame out so the inserts fit in. Sorted. Im sure everyone will advise against filling the holes with alu then re-drilling them.
  5. I had the holes filled with alu on my old ashton justice and it turned out terrible!! the guy was an expert but just couldnt do a good job of it. The holes ended up being too big, m5 or m6 which ever is one bigger than normal 4 bolt sizes. The threads were redone and the alu just started to crumble slightly. I had to drill out my brake mounts to get the bigger bolt to fit in and therefore didnt have the adjustibility I wanted/needed. The guy asked for my clamps to get the holes drilled back in the right place. In other words it was bodged to fuuuck and didnt work the best..thats what I get for snapping a tap inside the the mounts. Back when I was a less experienced engineer. :$ Just follow the thread on how to helicoil your frame and youll be laughing. hope that helps.
  6. Its all about the Black puddin big yin. But yea that sounds good, then we can have a few cans then we can light a fire :thumbsup:
  7. Man I never really thought of it in that way. Maybe thats what it is...your hair doo is pretty wack!! Oh I must add, for people who care and people who dont care too, My tensile mounts are now off my zhi and im running normal 4bolt mounts and the pistons are holding so much better and the cranks dont rub off them anymore. happy days. Cant wait for fort bill. lets hope we bring the scottish muckers weather. which is usually beaming sunshine, a wee bit of cloud or spitting rain. lol
  8. Youll not be the first to admit it.
  9. Just give us a general feel for what they are on about then please, if you dont mind. By the looks of it they are trials geeks.....same as me then.
  10. One more than me, two more than Ben Travis. Yes they are amazing.
  11. Those guys hav got skills fo'sho. Weather is nice there too.im jealous Where/how did you find it??
  12. Some handy advice there man im going to try that on my bikes.
  13. I was looking down your post there and noticed that you didnt have a sponser to give you a reduced price chain, so just buy both of them and try it out. But I advise against it, they will stretch quick and youll be even shiter! get a rolhoff. they are the best things in the world!! christ, who you trying to be?? Akrigg or sumit??
  14. And I take it the chain stay protector is is on the "wrong" side for "protecting" your frame against scratchs after failed side hops?
  15. Id rather not have a turtule head poking out as im doing a big gap on those rocks up there, just incase I snip it off and it rolls around my white boxers like a malteaser. if I was going to weight weeny myself, id shave. He he harsh but true.
  16. Couldnt be more right if youd tried. I blame everything on my set up!!
  17. Ha ha ha Man I had a Saracen that looked exactly like that one with the sus forks n all!! That was the most fun I ever had on a bike! those were the days! I even used that V converter as a booster like you did! strange. Any way im going off topic. lol Keep the replies comming. All are relevant. Thanks if you have conrtibuted.
  18. Come on son, read that back to yourself. Dont know what the problem could be for sure but I think it might be the heat and lack of sugar/salt and water. I decked it off my Patriot on a trail at the borders and everything went blue for a while.
