  1. adamant i reckon....dont like pures anymore , and the raven's are pretty outdated i think...
  2. i know...managed to whack my shin open as well was bad-ass....one minute i was lining up for this tap, then bills standing over me asking if id hit my head...haha nice meeting you to boyo.....fellow koxx rider yeh man, come down in the half term for sure such a great place to ride... ideal man sounds good, well get a big sesh and video on the go which koxx? he's the one on the wee white xtp2
  3. even i managed to destroy 3 shimano freehub bodies...theyre only 18 engagment, and only engage on one (weak) pawl at a time... like cook says, go for a poo2 / king / or a decent FFW setup
  4. Here's a little clips video kieran whacked together from yesterday; I apologise for the fish eye ...comments welcome http://www.vimeo.com/4748634
  5. or find a random field and hope for the best ?
  6. never heard of a "toskoye" er, the later thicker steerer ones are far stronger haha looks like your enjoying it med, i think ill see you at trial of wessex
  7. i second that..... i have no real idea on accommodation.. Sent my form off this morning first thing
  8. viz hubs always seem pretty damn good to me
  9. Revel are pretty gash on the back...I'd say revell on the front, urban on the back
  10. yerrrrr boi, ill be there if the weathers a-ok
  11. beastly video Mr Whitefield looking forward to riding with you soon
  12. We really need to get someone in this thread that knows for sure whats happening, im not even sure which days to ride or sign up for now
  13. being the fool that i am...i managed to leave my helmet at home... so if anyones got a spare i could use for the day, that'd be amazing my numbers 07972906755...thanks in advance..........
  14. whaaaa? tyler quitting then? I'll be well up for coming up with you if thats cool...
  15. drilling the shit out of the lever? alloy fittings? alloy lever/clamp bolt? shorter hoses?
  16. how much lighter is the tryall if anything? £400?! for front hs 33 how did you get that figure? Max i can see it being is: Magura £65 Forks £120 Rim £25 Pads £32
  17. Saved a bit on my bike....new frame was 650g saving ( zenith to coust v2 ) ...er, 200ish on the pedals? v8s to mg1s.....50g off headset, tensile ace from echo changing the front tyre to something lighter soon though, highrollers a bit hench for my riding really, any suggestions? need something around 2.2-2.35, light, comparable grip to maxxis... Think im going to get a der kaiser, or tubeless rubber queen eventually, seems to be the way to go now
  18. blame my clumsy fingers ahhh ok well sure we've all learnt something here.....it doesn't really matter either way
  19. true, just though id post up a fairly hd setup...as Im running echo cnc'd and a fsa bb plus, the rockman is, lets be honest, going to be far weaker than the king hub
  20. FSA platinum dh i say.....or a truvativ gigapipe, depends if you run FFW setup or not .... cant really go wrong with either, just a pain having to use a special fitting tool with the truv one
  21. I love front freewheel myself.... and is that actually true forteh? thought it was about 100g+ weight difference... EDIT: thought id check out my own setup.... Echo 135mm fixed 6speed : 256g + 181g = 437g against.... Chris king single speed 332g + (As Tarty dont weigh the sprockets, I had to rely on Google) 80g~ surly 18t fixed sprocket = 442g Maybe a shorter bb would decrease the weight of the freehub setup slightly as well? Basically they're just about equal...on my setup at least...which kind of surprised me if I'm honest
