hi, iv always wondered if having a bigger rottor will acctually make a disc brake stronger?? i know that it helps cool it down quicker because there is more room for the heat to dissapait (if thats how its spelled) dooes anyone know exactly why people say that biigger is better?? no smarmy comments now! ta what i mean by stronger is more powerfull! would it make the hope trial more bitey etc...

the flange on my king snapped from one spoke hole to another but apart from that i love the little bee that lives inside my hub! just sent it away to king the other day so hope to get the peplacment body for free!

how many good riders must there be out there who dont use the forum? there are loads of vids of guys who try and promote them selves on the forum and vids of guys who just like makin movies and stuff. but surley there must be people who just like riding and thats it?? no forum no movies just bike and rider?? i know a couple of guys who gave riding up a couple of years ago and if they had kept it up they would be super techy powerfull riders! they had a part in brainchilds first film Accomplished then soon after gave up trials, god knows why! I think if anyone knows people like this we should get them back into trials! im sure those guys could still show us lot on the forum a thing or two!

old school maggie booster zoo pads grinded rim works for me and its not a hey look at me ive got a massive gay booster on my bike effort! manages to hold in the tightest of situations, like 6 foot drops to rails so dont go spending money on a flashy booster because you think the standard maggie one wont work or anything!

whatever you decied to do dude grab your bike and head to your local tesco-asda whatever and purchase yourself the cheapest hairspray you can lay your hands on!!! honestly the value stuff is the best! just give the can a shake and spin your wheel and spray it on the rims - each side! ride arond for a minute taping the brake on and off and you should have a nice and grabby brake! makes a c**t of a noise when you brake or if your wheels buckled though!!! but it sure as hell works if you dont have a grinded rim. p.s dont ride with this technique when its raining . grind your rim for that and watch the sparks fly! ta ross

may even be sooner than you think guys when i spoke to him his two prototype frames were waiting on him at home a steel and an alu version of his 24" he had to decied what was going to be used - strong and heavy or light and er not so strong! though the paint job doesnt sound to good black from the head tube through to red through to white at the drop outs if u can see what a mean - "like an eighties styled BMX" he said. any way yea dont expect anything less than some superb quality sheeat from the man himself

my sweaty hands slipped off the bars when i was doing a manual and my bollocks went under my ashton seat

slick it back grease style man . the girls love it

hey guys, and gals! i was riding with martyn and chopper when they were in Scotland before the world cup in fort bill and martyn was saying he is going to bring out a new range of frames to lure in the non trials riding public! frames with his old silver frames geometry and with a seat and stuff so the general public can "ride them down the shopps" as he so adiquitly put it. he also said he is designing a range of his own ashton bar and stems and stuff like that im just wondering ig any one knows when the range is comming ouy, because he is goin to include a 24" version aswel and im intrested to see what it will ride and look like. ta!

yea man il get the pic of the snapped tensiles up soon not on my camera! ano should have been wearin a helmet usually do dont know why a wasnt that day i got a 4 inch long cut on my calf but its pretty much healed up its self without stitches lived to ride another day

26"-mountain bike 20"-monkey bike

My Webpage hey this should work let me know if it doesnt please. its my crank snap!

hey man just had a look at the t-pro and it looks fine for parts! i snapped my cranks the other day so i would be thinking of a decent set of girders to purchase, but the bashgaurd should make the crank life a little longer i suppose. all in all it doesnt need any upgrades unless you have so much money its falling out your pockets! just wait untill you acctually need the parts and while your waiting - save you hard erned cash and buy the best there is. personally i would invest in a paint job but thats just me lol hope that helps

yea man they are good and you woulnd want to waste it get a pro bike shop to do the job or ask nicly to use the tool . my hope headset spins around all the time on the toplol dont think thats too good.

yea you also have to take into account what rim you are using, old school d521 or somthing like that then tyre pressure is gotta be harder even if you have the heavyest tube or thew thikest side walled tyres. i run mine medium hard because mottos dont grip too well on wet natural . echo or tryall rims cans be used with lower pressures i think because the wont fold the tyre as easy but are a little more like chocolate than a down hill rim.

yea thats what i thought half price sounds reasonable to me. could any one tell me how to post the vid i have it on disc but dont know how to get it hosted! ta

lol, cheers guys so far, yea ill try and get the vid on soon. me and my mate went out to do some filming one day, the very first day we have tryed it because we got a new camera, the second shot and bam snapped crank. did any one get any joy from super cycles as in a new pair for free ? im still waiting on a reply from them!

yea man i have the urbans and had them for a year landed on them side ways plenty of times and not budged yet. the only thing i would say is that they do feel a bit flexy if you are going from a v or a maggie to a disc with all that power so close to the centre of the wheel. and if you are running a skinny tyre with a skinny rim like me then they look even skinnir with the huge clearance! niot saying thats a bad thing though they look cooler than fattys i think and are plain which rocks! hope that gives you a better undrestanding

hey this is my first ever topic. I was wondering how many people have snapped their cranks? I snapped my tensiles the other day and have a funny video.
