  1. chears people but what about the excusses you have heared?
  2. 1)= Hi people was just wondering what, you say to yorself befor trying something big, so you dont chicken out? i mostly just say whats the worst theat can happen? and got for it. just curious what you people do?? 2)= also whats the worst excuse you have heared from people? as to why they cant try it today?????? i thik quite a common one is that it is to slippy, (even though i have done it with a basicaly bald tyre)
  3. Zoo all the way they feel so nice to ride with mate
  4. are you just talking generaly like after every workout, or you saying you have actualy tor a perticular muscle when you was working out?
  5. mate i would love to be able to help out properly, but the opinions are going to be so biased, i ride stock so i would say do the swap, but people that ride mod will say the same. you should see if you can ride the stock first and then decide from there, lets face it you could quite simply swap it back for a different mod if worst came to worst
  6. the best thing's about trials are, meeting new people. having a laugh with mate's when people notice your progress healty competition between each other spoting a line and nailing it, then finding ways to make it harder/smother. also lets face it it gives you a hobbie and something to do with your days, and somethign to look forward to when you organise a ride, when you know you are getting something new for your bike and it feels tike x-mas, the first time you ride your bike with a new part...................................................................etc.# i could go on untill crimbo but lastley, when you see other people getting better as well.
  7. they dont fix it for free, if it is just a service you want??? best thing to do is go onto the web address and e-mail them, tell them what you have and what you would like done and they will give you a quote, i mailed them about a bulb i had and they said it would cost £42+ postage (i think) to replace the springs, pawls, ratchet and the freehub body. so that is a bargain really. hope this helps mate
  8. yea it ent bad but the wheels look a bit small anyway will be better when you get your new frame/kit on it oh yea mate i have a leaver you can have it is only a tektro one but it works and feels sooooo nice, i adapted the lever blade myself, have a look and let me know if you want it.
  9. chears for your replys fellow forumer's well the bag was out of the view of people, and about 10 meters away from us, there is only 1 way to get to it and the same way to get out??? i have no idea how we never caught him, it was a tramp as we managed to get a cctv pic of him actually takingt it (which makes you so f##king mad ), we did try to have a look for him, and believe me he would not have been walking if we had caught him. also i know that is alot of money to carry round but i needed it that night, i just forgot i had it on me , the money is the thing i am most annoyed about because the twat has £170 for doing nothing....... also the police identified him, arrested him but he never had anything on him , worst of all that is all that will happen now as he is homeless so he dont care, he knows it will go no further, as they have no way of punishing him........ and all this 3 weeks befor x-mas. fair to say i am GUTTED!
  10. well i dont know if it gets any worse than this people, i have been out riding oxford today and a tramp stole my backpack with all my stuff in it, camcorder which is 2 weeks old and £200 wallet with £170 in it all my tols about £150 worth my phone, my mates phone my house keys, my mates car key's and my coat. needless to say i am so pissed off, the only bonus is my mates parents are both in the police force and they have made it there personal case has this ever happened to you???
  11. if the weather changes i will come wid a few mate's. not up for it if the weather is shit rode pourtsmouth friday last week and the crap weather made it a real bitch
  12. i would go for Halfords foam grips, they are really long as they are ment for racers, you get 2 sets of extra long grips for a fiver, they are big enough to cut in half, which will leave you with 4 set's of really comfey foam grips. (for a five sheet), they are well worth it, they dont last forever but, once they start to wear, on the inside of your hand between your thum and forfinger, just put a strip of electrical tape over and they will not ware anymore, oh and you do have 4 pairs so what the hey!
  13. as per gheto rider said they are good bikes, you do need to change some parts but its ok, i would get a different set of cranks and a new rear hub, and obviously get a rear maggie minimum! but as it stands when you buy it i would give it a 8 out of 10 for overall value.

    Stolen

    that sucks mate, that bike i seriously nice hope it turns up
  15. pro 2 all the way mate, they are the dogs bollocks. i have been riding mine for 6 months with no skip and no sign of it skiping at all, my mate has had one for the same length of time and his has never skiped once. they are the best hub out at the moment, and you never have to worry about servicing every time you ride also, when you think of it like this it makes so muce sence? = you can buy 2x hope pro 2's set up onto onza hog rims for the price of a Chris King hub well do i need to go on........
  16. My oldist memory's the martin ashton replica (baisicaly just a cannondale with the same stickers as ashton) doing stuff on the front was never even thought about when i use to ride over 4 years ago and thought i was better than Nicky G (now i have only been riding for the last year and i got a lot of catching up to do) multi coloured bikes were the bomb oh and DDG shoters were awesome
  17. i would go for a pro 2 they are awesome had mine fo 6 months now and it is a beauty not skiped once not even sounded like its going to, and Kings are shit they skip loads and they are so much hastle, to keep servicing, also with a price tag like that you could have 2 pro 2's built up on to onza hog rims, for not much more money? i think that says it all.
  18. well to be honist like i said i can only go on what i have heared, i have seen a fair few snaped ones on the forum i have been told of a few snaping, so hey i expresed my opinion (afterall this is a forum) but as you are only interested in moaning about other peoples opinions. why bother???? as you can see your post really has not helped out the person who is trying to decide between 2 frames so why not help him out thats why he has bothered to ask the question
