  1. Pretty simple really, wheel was making a stupid clunky noise with my cheep-arse hub, took it apart to find... Can i streighten it with pliers or something? I feel like crying with the bristol ride just round the corner... Any help very appreciated
  2. If in doubt, go for the 127.5. There is no question about weather it'll fit or not its just down to what you prefer (read Ali's post) but, 122.5mm bb's don't always fit (hardly ever actually) with a front freewheel set-up.
  3. Looking pretty good!! What is going on with that headtube? I take it thats paint on it?
  4. Aaaah I lol'd a lot. I had no idea you had done your frame 'rustic look'. It looks pretty terrible its got to be said. But the spec (like you said) isn't actually that bad. Niiiiiice.
  5. Who made you the expert mr twelve quid fifty planet X soup bowl? Its was very loose, if it was designed to be that loose they wouldn't have made any attempts to make it tight. When you pay sixty odd quid for a helmet, your not after the same fit as a planet X -£15 jobby. Edit: Your english so say arse not ass. Anyway... A load of tape seems to have done the job, me being very cautious, in the warranty bumf it says 'Use of any solvent based products will automatically void any claim on the warranty'. So I didn't end up using super glue. Edit especially for the ass/arse expert: Joe doesn't own a donkey... don't want to waste forum space.
  6. Hahahahahaaaaaa Abingdon crew... Braaap! You make it sound like were some gang of pikeys that go around nicking mars bars and swearing at young children! Well I'm afraid that includes me... Just making a vague attempt at making us not sound like a bunch of arses.
  7. Well I've got an '07 python and I could have sex with it - I would. My mate has an '07 Team and i can hardly tell the difference between mine and his geometry wise. There deffinatly is a difference, but nothing amazing. Not too sure about A3s... I haven't heard a lot about them, but what I've heard isn't too great.
  8. JT was saying that you couldn't have bought the headset off him 'cause your not allowed to buy stuff when your a New Member. He wasn't saying this thread breaks the rules...
  9. Zip tied it? How did you do that? Put a zip tie all the way round the outside and into one of the air holes over the joint jobby? Sorry thats as clear as fog.

    My Xen...

    Well, I had a little knock on the back of my head when I was riding yesterday. The good news is I was wearing a helmet. The bad news is I think I might have broken the helmet . Here are the piccys... Slightly naff pictures, I know. That little 'Acu Loc' joint keeps clicking out of place when I tighten the helmet up, which means its really loose on my head, which is exactly what Xens aren't designed to do. Is there any way for fixing it? I was thinking about just super-gluing it in place, but that might not work and might void my entitlement to a half-price replacement. What to dooo? Note to self: add pictures
  11. In reply to you text and this thread (2 birds 1 stone...) Yes. Almost def-er-nert, but not 100%. I'll let you know if I can't mate. Edit: Max T knows he wants to...
  12. Just incase you haven't already, check the pad reviews thread... I haven't but there might be somthing there.
  13. Amazing riding... The stuff on the cotton reels is rediculess, if you look at the distances and drops involved... I couldn't imagine myself having the balls to do any of that stuff... Marc Vinco is amazing... The drop gaps are huge...
  14. Nice spelling! I use Zhi snail cams... Work fine and look PiMp!
  15. Fwah!! That looks... sex. Love that colour... The new cranks look mint! Nitro-mor'd brake looks a lot better than the raceline rubbish... Soooo much nice than before.
  16. Call me a snob, but i hate TK Max. Its like a ruddy jumble sale, the clothes aren't that good because all the vaigly decent ones are always XXXXXL, and the one in Reading smells funny. Not a big fan i'm afraid.
  17. According to a reliable source, there pretty similar to the normal skate style helmets... About 8mm thick padding spaced out around the inside in the usual sort of fashion. Adequate, and good for the price. Awww I'm a bit pee'd off now, just bought a Xen for £65 and one of those Try-All jobbies would have done nicely...
  18. Wooo found 'em Here they are... and a bargain at £27.50! Sorry to change the subject, but can you get Try-All mod hubs without the rest of the wheel anywhere?
  19. Read the thread... gerrover it... Hes leaving zoo! Edit: Forgetting the point... Amazing video chap!
  20. Yep, Plazzy's + Grind = mint brake. Rimjam blues + Smooth rim = rubbish brake. Rimjam blues + Grind = Crap wear rate. I take it you are talking about RJ Blues not Reds or anything else?
