  1. me too, i dont know weather to go to this one, as i dont know how to get there,
  2. i have a louise fr, and i think that it has a mutch better feel than all the hope ive tryed, they dont feel that solid. i think that most people think that the hope is automaticaly better due to the name and the louise is'nt, i think that hope's seam to be a bit of gimick, as they cost more without any oustanding qualities, the louise dose the job! well thats my opinion anways. ive also had mine for ages and nothing rong with it, no re-bleading, or any-thing its a good working, locking brake. im not dissin hope i just havent been on one yet that is brill, that is all.
  3. haha i wana see pics, they dont work. ive got a t-mag im curius to know if the t-mag is ligher becouse ov the thinness? cant wait for mine to go, ha
  4. no, 16-12. ups, my tensile has 18, right its 18- 12 soz about that, well from how you ride in your vid its looks like you could do with a higher gear ratio becouse you put in a lot of effot and your not pedle kicking (lurching) that far. if it was a tad higher you would find it alot easer to do biger stuff more smooth. but you also need to put in efort yourself. cheers soz for upsy.
  5. hey guy's you devon folk. ok rice riding, this is my view, i think you should get different gearing on your shogun gimp as i looks like its holding you back, you will be able to gap further if you gearing was higher, and would Alex be more comfortable on a 20" don't take that in a bad way i just think you may be able to flick a 20" around with more ease. nice any anyways that's what i think any way. do you do any comp riding? its good fun come along. max
  6. hello, this is my view on these pads I've got these rock greens, the first batch. at first i was rather impressed by them as they had allot of grip, and lock. But as soon as i got them wet they seem to go all wrong, the hold and lock that they did have completely went. so i cleaned the rim and pads with ethanol but they never seamed to go back to how they were before hand, trust me i tyred everything to get them back to how they were, but no. so i turned to a grind and they are quite nice and i am now happy. aslo these pads seam to rock end to end, ok this is hard to explain but they are really loose in cylinder and seam to wobble in them, (this is no longer a problem now as they have different backings i think). i thought i would share this with you because i was slightly disappointed as everyone said these wore the best, even when they wornt as i had trouble to get them to perform, but when they did they were mint. Also these are very very load and grippy with tar, unbelievable. but it makes your rim looks messy imo. maximus

  13. hi just wandering who is going? you can enter on the day, this monday. its my first comp so just wandering if any other riders from devon are taking part, ect... link for info, cheers max
  14. yea a good suggestion, put it in the members section, too many people start sooo many pointless topics in hear and before you know it, this will be on the 3rd page and no-one will see it. Any ways as i mentioned before I will defo be going and i will probably get 3 more people to come with me and enter, Two Q for Burton. -What do i need to enter, insurance, licence? -If i come down to saddles and paddles can i sort it there? Probably come in any-way bike making noises, not the good ones though.
  15. hi, needs to be said what a nice TRAILER! but, i have just seen your, vid (zoo.one). I think its the full one? (5.42 mins) anyway wow!!! nice! a real contender for the best vid ive seen, amazing editing, amazing riding, well done! no realy well done! i wana see more,
  16. hi, just looking on ebay, and came acrros this,? £250 linky any ideas, looks very similar to the zona zip, looks super, will it be a hit? nice cranks aswell, huh im tempted.
  17. hi there i was just wandering what muscles dose trials involve, i know its arms and back, but i have seen some riders with huge shoulder muscles? its just a general one realy, rugby players have huge thys and swimmers are build up all over, so a trials rider? one more thing is trials in the olimpics? and will it ever be, cheers max
  18. you forgot, the Koenigsegg ccx it hast to be in this topic, fastest car around the top gear test track, so far, + 246 mph i love it... and it nealy killed there tame racing driver (stigg).
  19. Exactly,, its the best, i realy advise people to use it,
  20. looked in here mate, my clean rim tip yea i often use peterol to clean the rim basicaly becouse it drys very quick and leves no residue, dont use any fairy liquid as it leves a nasty grese in your rim. your problem my be how you grind it? what are you using? (because some people use knives ect,, ) make sure its even and concistant, perpendicular to the side wall. also have you thort that it could be a foulty pad, wich has set wrong and has a slitly differnt compoud in the middle as a result? cheers max!
  21. ..Or the weight that this meck would use, and how is it spose to work? All I can see is that its just gona be too heavy, not what the market Wants these days, its looks, lightness and power! That dose it these days, if Use that you’re onto a winner
  22. Hi, Well the other day i went out when its was raining and my back maggy with my Rock pads (green) went all silent and were rubbish the rim seamed to gather a load black stuff i call its stuff cos i dont know what it is, but to get to the point i washed the side walls of my rim with petrol and i was amazed how clean it got, but I was not nearly as amazed when i got on my bike, wow that brake set up was mint! There was 110% lock there was even more than before I tried to purposely fall off, but the brake would not have it. It think its because its make the pads softer? Or something but its great! PS, im not trying to make out that the rock pads needed this, the rock pads are Good any way, but when this is used there better. try it, but let the peterol dry first.
  23. yes but dose your local lifeboat go 100mph and 0-60 in like 2.4 seconds, corners like a beast and can operate in 4 inches of water,
  24. yea huh, bit unfair,, comonn f1 car £700,000+ bike £22,000? boat £50,000 f1 car = loads of hp dunno how mutch? bike = 260bhp boat = 200hp + its more heavy and on water its not a fair test, theres faster bikes. mutch faster boats eg, 271 mhp yes that fast. Also its a stait, hum i wander who whould win on a track, bike, f1, or boat* well you would have to use a jet boat on a speshial corse that is the same scale as the track. eg jet boat 800hp +
