  1. Hey, yea running afront eno at the moment. had to get a spacer for bb though, as it jams up without one.

    does the freewheel screw on to the 24 seven cranks ok becouse i only have the cranks not the whole holroyd i got them of my mate who upgraded his holroyd to middleburns and was it hard to get the chainring off ?

  2. Donkeys!.... Ill be calling you in the morning then... Unless you can change it to a 36 hole hub magically... or the Black Onza T-master hub with 36 Holes......

    EDIT - Any news on how quick i can get a wheel built might have another idea, and spend more money... :D

    hi did you put the freewheel on the cranks that came originally with the holroyd ? as i have the same cranks and want to put a freewheel on but not sure if there designed for it .

  3. Just noticed where it is. I often(ish) ride colchester with luke n that i wouldn't mind visiting that spot either! Looks good.

    would'nt bother now , the builders wrecked it the pallets anyway, the pipes are still fine so if you wanna come down il meet you at the station and show you round theres some good street aswell depending on what sort of level your at , and yeah i wanna come ride colchester aswell

  4. Yea clearance is minimal with a chainring, when i had my orbita cranks they actually rubbed the chainstay at one point and that was 22tooth i think but made a spacer for my UN-53 BB...now i use front freewheel (ENO) which is 18tooth and so much better with a 127.5mm Koxx BB, loads of clearance :P

    ah nice one , i was thinking of putting a front freewheel on but was worried it wouldnt fit as theres not that much space , the 22t chainring i got with mine rubbed the frame as well and cut abit of the frame away but its been like it for months and hasnt changed so it seems pretty strong, cheers for the info (Y)

  5. I fancy a change, I was going to get a new frame but decided I can't afford (N) So, would a high rise stem make my bike feel like poop? Or would it make it feel nicer, I searched but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for.

    im thinking of doing this on my t-rex so when you do it give a review in here , thanks (Y)

  6. ENO lockrings don't come loose becuase they have sealed bearings.

    Nope, it wont.

    ENO's only come in 18t. If you have an 18t freewheel on the rear, you do really need a 27t cog up front to have a decent gear ratio.

    On your mission, you'll probaly have a 24t cog on the cranks, so putting an 18t freewheel on the rear will mean you will have a much lower gear ratio than most peoples mods.

    But yes, it will work. It'll work very very well.

    thats crazy talk...lol 22t to 18t is fine and so would 20t to 18

  7. I always think to myself that i will deffineatly try to eat healthy, and maybe i can last abit longer on the rock sections, but if you really think about it , its not really your health affecting the way you ride its just how good you are, the less experienced you are at trials the harder its going to be to hop around things, which means you are going to get alot more tired. The harder you ride the section the harder its going to be on you. Thats what i say (Y)

    Cheerz for the comments people.

    Hope i make sense. :D

    yeah i get what your saying all the extra correction hops takes it out of you where as pros can just balance whilst hardly moving for as long as they like .

    i think breathing tecnique has to do with it aswell cos sometimes i find myself holding my breath

  8. Dual maggy all the way.

    Disk's suck ;)

    Except filthy cable disk's I suppose, The rotor's still like snapping though...

    dual maguras are ok but it means you have to buy 2 sets of expensive pads when your grind eats them . but with disks the pads take forever to wear away ive never replaced them and the brakes perfect saves money i think.

    also with front disk you can whip the wheel off in a second to put the bike in your car if your going somewhere

  9. I think it looks a cool, but standing still for a few seconds on your back wheel looks even cooler? I mean, you can jump much higher starting from back wheel + it looks nicer..

    So the choise is made actually, right :)?

    Greets,

    Sam

    i know what your saying about stalling on the back wheel it does look cool but i dont think it looks nicer its almost like cheating cos you hardly have to jump because your front wheels normally above the object already so all you have to do is jump abit put your front wheel down then swing the back on .

    where as with both wheels down you have to explode all the way from the ground onto the object and i mean landing both wheels at the same time, that looks cool in my eyes anyway
