  1. couldnt agree more. onza-trials actually sounded quite sensible in that conversation, even if it was ot. glad to see your sorting it out matt dont be careless, you wont get hacked. simple as.
  2. aluminium doesnt rust! itll be fine. scratches add character so go nuts with them. matt
  3. definately definately definately definately definately definately they are awesome chains. i run a KHE collapse which is mental but i doubt itll work with gears, matt

  7. cruise around and look pretty pimptastic. took me a while to get the nack of it.
  8. on the ride last weekend, we had a chav try it, there was him on his snot green bmx and around 20 of us. Joe maher, leon, nick foster, simpson, kyle, reece, well way more than a little chav could handle, he rode past with the usual " oi p**ck what the f**k are you looking at wa***r, ill f**k you up c**t" just made me LOL always get moaned at, just because what we do looks weird and should not be scoientifically possible. matt
  9. oh right this did get bumped, from the dates i waas wondering where the hell i got it from. is a good post though. since tonys resigning, OBM for prime minister! wtf? moving on.. the validation system is great, if it wasnt there, we'd have some of the newest members cocking up the rest of the forum in a 'hitlerian' way, first nmc then the world... validation *** and all that jazz. matt
  10. i bought it from tarty , i know theyre sound and i wouldnt buy from anywhere else withoutout a good reason but would they really want to give me another freewheel for no fault of their own matt
  11. Well after the southend ride last weekend, i was pretty hacked off. My lovely try-all 108.9 freewheel that ive had nothing but praise for has started a fast descent in performance. It is now useless at speeds over 5mph, working about 25% of the time. Which now renders it useless doing anything requiring any form of speed. There have been a few people who have said their freewheels have not lived up to the hype, braking after by no means exceptionally hard riding.I was always saying how they must have done something to it, or had a dodgy one. I have had this on for under four months and if this is its use life, im am not a happy chappy. i was coming flying down peir hill, playing silly fools with a superman impression, when simpson slowed domn in front of me, i got both feet back on the pedals, swerved away from him, and pedalled to get some speed back up......Nothing. I nearly went over the bars, got shot back onto the back wheel, my wheel are my foot, then ran it over, i proceeded to zoom down the hill going "aarrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh my ass is on fire!" as i got a nice hole burnt in my trousers. quite funny really, but will_zooboys wasn't..... it had skipped a few times before that day, but i didn't think much of it, just thought that it was because i was going a little quick and i have a low gear ratio. Anyways, back to Will_Zooboys, It decided to go for a skip as he was doing a gap to road rail, he himself hasn't had his for very long either. it went for another skipping session when he was going for a 6 foot gap from one rail to another, totally cocked it due to the freewheel and whacked his head on the rail, splitting his helmet in two. what do you thinks wrong with all these freewheels then? i will rip mine to bits when its seriously gone, but this is really unexpected from a freewheel of this quality, and all it has had said about it. 108 eps? id rather have 8 as long as they worked. how can a try-all last for less time than an acs???? anyone else had any problems? what did you do about it? matt
  12. Penny farthings ***! they are for those of us who are brave enough, theyre like a greased weasel on the back wheel, try all are going to bring out some pimp parts for them, 46" drilled front rims, 12 inch rears, get some decent disk forks and a custom rear disc adaptor made up, then get a set of six pot hope disks and youll be set. they are oficially the best things for gapping to front wheel, as they have so much of it! or just get a monty as thats what everyones getting these days, depends if you want a street or comp bike. matt
  13. finally! someone who shares my views on this! why bleed your brakes with what they are not meant to be bled with, and bleed them once a month for no obvious reason? my disks on my dirt jumper are going fine on their original bleed, what was in them when they came out the shop! why do people have an uncontrollable urge to re bleed brakes every five minutes!?! im sure ill get abused for this like always but just dont do it! matt leave the brakes alone and itll be perfectly fine as long as you have it.
  14. That now has the title of being the best looking base ive ever seen. would be well up there with other bikes if it was pink ..................... very nice, matt
  15. jeans+tuck in sock = problem solved as for the left footed thing, its perfectly fine, neil tunnicliffe and many other riders do the same, theres nowt wrond with you, thats just your personal choice/ preference, or probably your strongest leg. are you left handed?? matt as for the old man, LMAO
  16. wasnt it that you can ride any comp up to national with a singlespeed? now the age rule for stocks, what a loada crap that one is! if they have changed it then woo you can all point and laugh at me but if not, im still pissed off. what is the minimum age? if the age limit is 14 then oh well, i will stop moaning in april! out with the compulsory gears shiz, its just more to go wrong and ruin a good section. matt
  17. welll done mate, good riding, keep it up! if only nmc got back to this and the way it was..... well done mate, matt
  18. some penis hacked his account, so its nowt to do with him. good riding mate, looks really good! yummy zoo too matt keep it up
  19. ill ride, do some stuff, then chill for an age, ride again, eat, chill, ride agin lol if im alone ill constantly ride, but in groups theres too many distractions like friends!!! matt
  20. When i read the title it actually raised a smile, made a bike related bad day better try www.trashzen.com just practice i guess, as has been mentioned, try to find a mid point, use a few correction hops just to get some balancekeep your knees and elbows a little bent,and to keep the front up if it drops, kick the pedals and roll forward a little, which will in turn lift the front end. keep practicing, matt
  21. finally some of the pre-members are breaking away from the mob of un-intellectuals and are trying to rescue themselves! good on you man, and the others doing the same. leave them in nmc and enjoy yourselves in the members area after your validations!
  22. i could if his password, as simp said, is "onza" and i didn't like him. he seems alright though, unlike some...... matt
