  1. really good and clever website,loving the instant messanger ,geneous steve (p.s spelt geneous wrong)
  2. im sure your grow out of it in time . . .
  3. what are these modified parts?anything like your czar? nice bike btw,though if i had this bike i would have chosen the black frame steve
  4. im not big into them but i do love hotel california
  5. just what i was thinking more vids of a simular nature please . steve
  6. has anyone had the privalage to start riding on their personal £1000+ bike? i very much doubt it,for a start when i started trials i knew maguras where ideal brakes but that was almost it ;so i went and bought a sarecen mad,learnt the basics and invested in new parts till i did have a £1k plus bike .dont forget people that everyone starts as a novice and need a gentle push in the right direction,hence these bikes made by onza. steve
  7. im definately going to order one of these when there out,got any statistics on these rims?weight ,erd ect? steve
  8. i quite like the geomentry ,except the bb is +20mm when run with a 420mm fork!i bet only bt make 420mm forks .also not to sure on the top tube what are the rrp's for these frames? also ,what colours do they come in? steve
  9. you can actually get square drill bits ,they are used to put square holes in wood.its like a drill bit with chisels that make the hole square. steve
  10. if the brake isnt set up right the disc is sometime pulled accross which lets the disc twist and bend (note my brake has never been like this ) wich in turn lets the wheel move . steve
  11. i believe 10inch is the largest too. i find theres no points going for secound best stuff,get the biggest rotor avaliable for the brake ,then you wont be thinking (if you dont have the desired power) why didnt i get a bigger brake. steve .
  12. dont forget mod-stock ,26" wheels on stock frame with mod size hubs .hope i confused things a little lol. steve
  13. 2nd i'd personnally go for a eno if your willing to spend that much on a freewheel. steve
  14. nice and shiny ,what parts will attached? steve
  15. well done people so what arethe winners (except fat pants who have already said ) wainting to claim as there prize? steve
  16. i will envy him even more if he wins the tarty raffle lol
  17. how come you got two bikes of the same spec then? steve
  18. it looks like it,but instead of running the chain through the jockey wheels he just let the chain go over the top wheel . nice bike mate steve
  19. i cant say i've seen any pink hose,maybe phone goodridge up and ask if they could make a one off for you? also ,to save on making a new topic i'll ask here. are goodridge hoses compatable with magura braided brake fittings? steve
  20. i get the mag monthly ,i have a read of it and see whats happening and what parts have been realised,i also read the letters too. but i personally don't like the way trials is almost excluded from the mag,i realise that trials is a minority sport but it still is a discipline of mountion biking so it deserves its place in the mag. i'd like to see hop idol brought back ,and bike reviews on trials bikes ;maybe bringing trials into the lime light by these means will help our sport grow.also if mbuk featured some more trials in there dvd's from the likes of danny mac people will think that trials isn't all about no saddles and big bunny hops. well i've stuck my two pence in now steve
  21. anyone got a link to this site that no-one speaks? steve
  22. hello,im wanting to change my frame sometime in the next few months,i've been looking through sites seeing whats on the market ,and now i have come a bit stuck . i just realised that i dont really know how frame designs affect the way a bike rides. i know how that a higher bb makes being on the back wheel easyier but picking the front up for a muanual a bit of a bitch,but this is really the only thing i know how frame designs affect riding.so ,here are my questions. . . . 1. what difference do head angles make? 2. what difference does a longer wheel base make compared to a short wheel base? 3. how do chainstay lengths affect a bike? 4. how does different BB shell head tube lengths make a difference? also what moves are generally easyier with certain frame geomentry? oww yeah before people say ,i know that changing stems,bars ,forks etc make a difference . any help gratefull,steve
  23. i've been having sleepless nights already lol
  24. if i doesn't work just file some material from the rotor.i doubt it'll affect the brake performace. steve
  25. if i was to run a white rim,i'd have black rim tape.if i have a black rim,i'd have white rim tape.but its a personal choice really . steve
