  1. by the looks of his profile it is a magura rim brake!!
  2. hahahahaha, LMAO!! ------------------------------------------- mate read the New Members Guidelines!!!! l8rs............
  3. i got a funny bail at the end of this vid; http://www.eengoedidee.nl/videoz/download....BdTM228AAEgcOsY enjoy...........don't expect much good riding, it was the 1st vid on my zoo!! lmao. its at the end of the vid
  4. i have the 06 pitbull and i don't run a booster, the brake feels lush and is a piece of piss to set up.........i experimented with a carbon fibre booster the other dan and it was gay to set up and looked disgusting!! the pitbull is similar to the gu, but if the gu has a built in booster and the 06 pitbull doesn't then you definatelly don't need a booster! boosterless all the way!
  5. if you can't decide go for a 24' , because its pretty much in the middle!! i personally prefer 26' because its the right size for me, and i love them, 20' feel strange to me, so yeah i would change from 20' to 26'.....
  6. hi, i think it mite be this not sure though http://www.panpa.com it was off craig l scott's site, so it must be, plus its all in chinease writing.
  7. if you can't find any anywhere then just get the silver ones and spray them the yellow.........if you want the exact colour ring/e-mail magura and ask them or ask 'Wright Pads'.

See you in the forums, Tom & Danny this should go in the 'RANDOM QUESTION THREAD' not as a topic it is just clogging NMC up and making it really annoying having to go throgh shit to find the good stuff!!!!!
  10. max you should show off some of these vids mate, will be good fun to watch man...!
  11. if you dont want a hope pro 2 trials, then either a hope bulb/mono/xc. i had a mono for ages, they ain't as good as my king, but for the money they are ace.......strong, they will last, hardly ever skip.
  12. i'm near..............i live in witney. i'll be coming to oxford for a ride in a few weeks. l8rs........
  13. i absolutely love street, due to that is all there is near me, but when i do get a chance to go on the rocks/natural i'm not amazing because i'm not use to it, but i do enjoy it cus its different to what i'm use to..
  14. if you have only just started riding then you will definately want an ace back brake, because to start with you will be trying to learn all the basics and most of them are on the backwheel,when you do learn the basics you will be trying them on walls so the last thing you want is your brake slipping and you falling off so i would reccommend getting some maguras hs33's, you will dedinately want them for the back, but if you buy the pair it is a bit cheaper! also you will need a set of descent pads on the rear so i would reccommend looking in tartybikes for some descent pads; http://82.110.105.16/tartybikes.co.uk/news.php go to the 'brake pads' section on the left, and choose some pads that you can afford and like. (don't buy the magura kool stops!!) if you are not sure the pads you chose are good then come on hear and use the search bar to see if they are good. good luck mate.
  15. hey mate, what camera was u using?? l8rs...
  16. the levers are like 3 fingered, instead of 2 fingered like the hs33. they will work pretty much the same,(power etc), yea you could use them for trials but i personally would just get the hs33's!! i can't think of anything else at the mo!!! i'll edit when i do.
  17. me and my mate had a little practice on an old rim which i don't know what is..just shit is all i can say, anyway i grinded it and tested it on the front of my trials bike with zoo! freen pads and it didn't work very well (compared to my smooth mavic d521.) is this because of the mavic is a completely better rim, or because the grind was shit, or?? here is a pic of the ground rim; far back view; close up; this was my 1st ever go at grinding a rim, i don't think its a harsh grind, but more of a light one!?!!??? can someone put a reply on how to grind and/or links to tutorials, videos etc! thanks a lot guys!!
  18. it would but he ain't a member so he can't post there l8rs......
  19. liked that loads dude!!! good riding, the cameraman was ok with all the extra shot stuff if you get me! liked it, want another vide mate. keep it up.
  20. they come with the bleed kit, tarty sell them now , i'm not sure if you can get them somwhere else (not in the bleed kit)????
  21. every one has a fetish!!!!!!! that is really skillful, there was somthing like it on top gear, and the telly ages ago 'jump britain' or somin'. very entertaining though!!!!! loved it!!!
  22. i no that this is not completely on what the topic is.........but i was wondering if you find that sometimes you can't set your brakes up proberly due to the adjusting hole is not long enough??? eg the pads are on the rim 3/4 and a little bit isn't?? (not due to a flat spot or nothing).......... or is this just because when i have tightened the bolt up it the metal on the clamp got squashed a bit and stoping it move to its full potential??? ^^^^^hope you get what i'm trying to say!?!?!?! thanks!!
  23. why tap it when u could front flip to handlebar manual spoke grind finishing it off with a 73643278146346885681378486451238 degree tail whip???!!!???!!!???! GROW UP!! ONLY SERIOUS POSTS PLEASE!! thanks.
  24. ooow, thats ace, i am lovin' the 'L' plate!!!! jokes..... ..very nice, never seen one like that before.
  25. FEEL FREE TO ADD YOUR OWN TRICKS THAT HAVEN'T BEEN THOUGHT OF/DONE/TRIED YET just thought of a new little trick for those who like combo (or whatever you call it?) tricks. do a 180 of a wall (the wall has to be long enough to turn around and sidehop onto it) and roll backwards (only a little bit with both wheels on the floor), then spin the front around 180 and keep the front wheel in the air, then sidehop onto the wall. enjoy and hope to learn new moves! i am doing this to expand trials a bit because people say it is all to obsessed with height etc.... .....plus i want to learn new tricks!!!! enjoy and add/comment
