your family is poor max! for the same price as the echo's you could get either plazmatics which are softer so will grip more. i have the zoo! pads atm and they are ace front or rear, so the echo's won't be as good (not far off though) because they are a SLIGHTLT harder compound. the new rock pads have a red one out for smooth rims which are the replacement for zoo!'s......if you do/have a grind then either get the rock pads, phat pads (ask max for a review of the phat pads if you want to know more) or get koxx browns, plazmatics. look on tarty for all the pads, never buy the kool stops they are pathetic!!! consider plazmatics, phat, and rock reds before you think of buying the echo pads mate!!

How to spray paint your car/bike When it comes to painting your car, you don't have to be a professional to achieve a showroom finish. Thanks to the quality of paints and lacquers on the market, you can save yourself a fortune when touching up slight damage or re-spraying. However, the key to effective spray painting is preparation and patience - compromise on either and the results will be glaringly obvious... Difficulty rating: beginner to intermediate Time allowed: one hour (plus drying time) Tools/ material needed: abrasive papers, rust treatment (if required), cellulose thinners, masking tape, primer, paint and lacquer. Plus masks, gloves and overalls (if required) The Halfords Colour Match paint mixing service offers 48,000 colours including colours for classic cars and motorbikes. Use the correctly-coloured primer and remember: if you're using metallic paint, over-spray the finish with lacquer to get the correct shine. 1) Warm and dry conditions are ideal for spray painting, as aerosols don't always work best in the damp and colder temperatures hinder drying time. If it's not warm and dry outside, work in a well-ventilated garage. Wear overalls or old clothes - goggles and a mask will keep stray droplets of paint away from your eyes, nose and mouth. 2) To prepare for spraying, use aluminium oxide abrasive paper (graded at 80grit) and rub the surface to be painted down to bare metal. Apply a rust treatment product if required, following the manufacturer's instructions and allowing it to dry fully. 3) The area to be painted should now be clean and dry - any traces of dirt or wax can be removed using cellulose thinners. Mask off any areas not being painted using masking tape and paper (to avoid hard edges, increase the area to be painted by moving the masking tape back gradually as you apply each coat of paint). 4) Holding the spray can approximately 25cm away from the surface to be painted, apply a number of coats of primer at 15-minute intervals until the area is evenly covered. Go an inch over the original layer of paint to help it blend in (to create an even softer edge, peel the masking tape back from the surface slightly). When spraying, use a smooth movement from side to side. It is best to apply several light layers of paint, as applying too much paint in one go can create sags and runs. 5) Allow at least 24 hours for the primer to dry thoroughly, then rub down with 120grit wet and dry paper until smooth. Clean the area with warm, soapy water, rinse, then dry fully. 6) To start painting, shake the can vigorously for two minutes to ensure the paint is thoroughly mixed. Apply a number of coats at 15-minute intervals, shaking the can between each one. 7) If you're using a metallic colour, allow the paintwork 24 hours to dry then rub it down with 1200 grit wet and dry paper. It should lose its gloss appearance and take on a dull, matt finish. Clean with warm, soapy water, rinse and dry. 8) Now apply two coats of lacquer, separated by a gap of 15-minutes. Halfords are launching a new petrol-resistant lacquer for fuel tanks/motorbikes etc. If the finish looks patchy, apply another coat or wait until the surface is completely dry before rubbing it down and starting the lacquering process again. 9) Allow new paintwork at least two weeks to harden. 10) Halfords Colour Match scratch repair kit is available for scratch repairs and minor touch-ups. enjoy

sponge bob square pants theme tune!!!! seriously it depends on what style the riding is..... if its really fast etc then you want a more fast loud song, but if it is more of a chilled ride then some slow (not too slow) peacefull music. just put your movie in the movie maker n test out loads of songs that you think might go well with it and that you like!!

max has a really stiff rear end!!!

i need a bb that is square taper, it HAS to be 127.5 mm or 128 mm, i want to know where you can buy them from, how much they are, your opinion if you are/have used them. i want a cheapish one because i had a cheap one for a long time doing many big gaps/drops etc and it lasted many many months, ( i had a shimano one from crc) cheers people!

if you was to do it more in the evenings when most shoppers ain't in town then it will be ok i suppose. just come out with some crap that you have a disorder with your skin and you are actually 16, but the dissorder makes you look a few years older! that way the complainer will feel awful for it! anyway i doubt that anyone will moan, just because you are not a kid but a mature adult-because of this they should most likely leave you alone.

WITNEY!! come here so i can ride. (i'm not travelling with a broken toe that is nearly fully healed-yes i am a wimp) it has lots for ace riders and the learning riders, aswell as plenty for in between. :king: :king: :king: :king: :king:

mine are hurting at the moment because i haven't riden for 5 weeks due to a broken toe. you will find that they just get harder and stop hurting..... if you don't wear gloves then wearing them could help. just moistorise em or what ever hand cream crap your female family member has. lol.

hahahah fukking legand! ------------------------------------------ hi there look at the banners at the top of the page, they are trials shops- just have a little look around them to see if you like any bike. if you find 1 that you are keen n but not sure if it is a good buy then just ask (in this topic...no need to make a new one) and we will help you. good luck dude

http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/forum/index....c=84376&hl= ^^^^ has a couple of piccy's and some great ways on how to do a good job. also........; http://82.110.105.16/tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=145

i think i movie was on the mac when we got it, anyway you can get it by buying 'ILIFE 06' http://store.apple.com/Apple/WebObjects/Uk...LearnMore=MA166 what mac you using, and what version is it??

yeah i agree 'JT' if it was fine before hand then it is faulty after the shop worked on it then it is their problem, if it's a shop called 'GILES or DENTONS' then they will say you done it whilst riding it, or it was faulty when they worked on it, so you just need to say you haven't ridden it (it leaked when you tested the lever by pulling it). and it was fine before you took it to them.

why do you think its crap? i have one the (1060) version, i love it, i just recently got new bars and stem for it because the old stem didn't have a rise on it- so that hurt my neck. it has hope, magura, chris king, echo, mavic, onza ronnie, sapim, middleburns, zoo componants. absolutely love my biike
