  1. Just remember the GU is ugly as sin
  2. Still the worst leeson frame ive seen im afraid
  3. Firstly make sure you dont buy any fluro parts because they are vile. Next to keep it as simple as possible, sounds like youve already got a mixed bag of colours on there already and adding more will just make it worse. If you want a colour scheme stick to 2 colours. Ie blue silver
  4. Nothing, all the info theyve given is its sanko and about 6lbs
  5. Good riding but the pics are pretty awful tbf even if it is thier first time doing action stuff
  6. Theres nothing so far to suggest the wheel size, 24bicycles have made 26"frames in the past too
  7. Only info so far is: Made from Sanko and weighs in less than 6lbs Looks pretty promising

    Curtis

    Pretty sweet. Just put a real seat on it to finish it
  9. Anything with fluro parts or a bb rise over 15mm

    Helicoiling wont work. If re tapping the threads dont work argos cycles of bristol will put an new insert in (if theyre still around) seem to remeber it costs around £50 as my freind had it done.
  11. If you never hit your pedals theyre ok. However the bodys are incredibly weak, Ive seen enough shatterd pairs. The other problem is the bearings are utter bollocks. Ive seen a fair few body pull straight off the axles because the tiny bearings popped. If your light and ride natural they should be fine. Wouldnt recomend for street though
  12. You can still get the old style ones with nice padding that fits your head from America. (EmpireBMX sell them) I think you can still find the buckys too if you look hard enough
  13. Wotever it is thats managed to be even uglyer than a GU

    My Gu

    Still think GU's are the uglyest frames made, otherwise ok apart from the gold rim
  15. i know, ill be different and individual by buyin fluro parts in dirty colours
  16. just tighten to the correct torque setting, for the first few rides they will come loose abit, but just retighten them, eventually they will settle
  17. unlucky with the pashley, id have the pashley over that any day
  18. pretty nice, ive always quite fancied a brisa
  19. Clearly im not a man because i dont like scars all over my legs and chips in my shins. I used to think it was cool then i grew up and realised its pretty stupid. I use the cheap fox knee/shin guards and under trousers theyre fine. theyre pretty thin and light so they dont get too hot + i find you get used to the extra warmth so i dont notice it anymore. I found the knee guards to be pretty useful too when bailing off biggish stuff and it stops the wprst pain of kneeing your stem.
  20. Its a copy of the american classic hubs. shadow also used the idea for their bmx hub which ive heard good things about. Its a good idea making the rachet easily replaceable. I would have thought it would have potential if a good hub company like sun or hope developed it, i imagine the taiwanese ones may be a bit crude. Dunno about having a smaller rachet though
  21. the dmr ti axles are real good. Dunno where you can get the wellgo mg1's. However i can tell u they are the worst pedals ever created. My mate destroyed the bearing in the first ride. they are that light for a reason
  22. Or mean the pawls return quicker and they will seat fully in the rachet as there wont be any grease in the way. It will be less likely for dirt to gather around the pawls. You just leave a tiny smear of grease where the springs and pawls are seated so they dont seize. If you have ever taken the hub apart you'd realise that the pawls and springs wouldnt dislodge easily anyway, and how it would make the springs snap i dont know? however i would like to hear your theory. Oh and i ran a mono for 3 years with the grease taken out and funily enough i never snapped a spring, have one dislodge, or have it seize and it hardly slipped
  23. The axles are also completly different. The trials has a larger diameter axle (about 14mm i think) to allow the funbolts to fit it. Your standard hub has a 10mm axle with a smaller hole so is no stronger. and you only have 24 engagements
  24. How many hundreds of hubs do you think they have sold, even if 100 break its still probably not a bad percentage of failed ones, your just being narrowminded and at least hope do something to sort it. Look at the deng hubs that tryed to copy hope, they started sh*t and still are because it takes too much effort to get mass produced taiwanese crap re designed. Id prefer my money to go to hope anyday
