  1. Danny Mac air king , good grip , high volume and extremely bouncy , but fairly pinchy.... Maxis are near discontinued , 24 is pretty much a dead wheel size in mountain bike apart from kids bikes
  2. Sounds like youve stripped the head of the bleed screw. Try tapping a slightly larger torx bit in, the impact will help loosen the bolt and hopefully the torx will bite and unscrew the bolt.
  3. As above few of us Are headed up, any locals game ?
  4. 2 and half years, had a bit of a set to and she's stormed off to work . Wouldn't answer the question if whether she wanted to be with me even though I didn't want to marry/ have a child. So who knows what'll happen.
  5. Fkkkkkk the mrs. So pissed off at her; got a weird message from her out of the blue while she was on a night shift : Everyone is getting engaged or having babies, why can't we do anything? Xxxxxx Explained to her I'm not ready yet etc on a text. made her a curry for when she got home, waited to have the meal with her at 11pm. She walks in ignores me gets into bed and when asked says she's not hungry and rolls over and ignores me. Didn't reply to me today, when I get back I see her turn tv off and as I come in the front door she's headed out the back door leaving some arsey message on the fridge saying I don't care about her and we have no future anymore. What . The . Actual . f**k Just because 2 of her mates are engaged / married and one of her colleagues is engaged. :@
  6. Very sad yet very tasteful. Rest in peace
  7. Not sure if serious? As said above old cheap shimano qr's are your best bet, but I'd just run a bolted axle for the security.
  8. Nope not available separately bit are available in disc.
  9. Crewkerz do for their cleep
  10. http://www.easycomposites.co.uk/products/structural-adhesives/vm100-black-methyl-methacrylate-adhesive.aspx
  11. Packages came , woo! Ti bolts, carbon tube and resin. Bit tight on material haha, just managed to eek out the last of my 7075. Both flanges machined an drilled , axle and spacers and new rim from tarty and I'll have a bike again!
  12. 70 % technique 30% power for everything up to bar height...... above that and the bias starts to change in my opinion
  13. Plymouth ride on the 18th ; any takers?
  14. So.... before i laced this up I went 24". Unhappily no 28h front 24 rims ( apart from bonz, which are hard to get hold of and suspiciously light. )..... as I need a non disc front wheel ; new hub time! Cue Mk2 design, this time lighter and carbon centre. Slightly lighter at a projected 73gr plus bolts ( little lighter than the Onza non disc 2014 ). Bearings , bolts , axle material, flange material and washer material have been sourced / saved from other projects, still to order my carbon and resin! Same basic design spec; very wide flange, strong flanges, ti bolts.
  15. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/other_hub_spares/chris_king_fun_bolts/c596p508.html £36, my mistake
  16. An alternative is the non fun bolt axle and a qr, Replacements are 37£ a pair from memory? Could be completely wrong there though haha Pm me if you want a cheaper option
  17. Sticky lites are far lighter and bouncier than their older standard counterparts. First for me on stock would be a stiky lite, then highroller sp 2.5 then a der kaiser
  18. It's been a pretty good little car so far , but needs some care at the moment.... Also what kind of mpg do people get from Their 1.9tdis? Mines an atd and will never go below 52, but never above 60.... Seems fairly low?
  19. Rainbird- Your Leon was fookin immense, love to have one! Settled for its little brother instead though.... 1.9tdi ibiza, still yet to find a cupra / fr / aero bumper at the right price....also looking to swap or replace the gen bbs rx2's for some ibiza cupra wheels.
  20. Started to dial in the 24, still got a few bits to change though . Echo urban forks Echo sl bars Echo tr mounts , cranks, rims, hubs , pedals and ffw 04 magura , cousts Avid bb7, 185 , xtr lever K2 stem, homebrew sloping adaptor Danny Mac air king , kenda sb8
  21. Theres a few of us riding, really seems to have dwindled! Head to Southwest Trials on Facebook, and/or drop me a pm
