Brilliant frames, loved mine to bits and its still going strong....had about 15 owners and is pretty damn hardy...mines got about 10 dents ( at least ) some are about 2cm deep, manuals are okay on it with some risers / monty style bars and a shrotish / high stem zoo is 1065, 380, 72 , +10 so pretty damn similar to the control Okay, just repeating what ive been told in plymouth by other riders, having never had one myself i dont know directly

plus 60 is , in my opinion too extreme bb height for a stock.....you get more backwheel control, as your weights farther back on the bike ( therefore closer to the rear axle, similar to having shorter chainstays ), but, the front ends harder to lift, your centre of gravity is far higher, bunnyhops are extremely hard...manuals are nigh on impossible backwheel control would be quite as lot harder, although if you have a modern stock with 375-380cs and a light front end this might not be too much of a problem.... ive had a +10 coust, a +10 pitbull and a +25 zenith.....the backwheel control is so much easier on the znith , but the 5mm shorter chainstays on the pitbull compared to the coust changed the backwheel handling a lot. With plus 10 you're obviously, say, 5cm lower down from the ledge so rthats an obvious disadvantage... i think taps, bunnyhops manuals etc are better on low bb........and sidehops and static backwheeling is easier on a higher bb +10 definitely does feel heavier to handle, although this can also be attributed to longer cs and longer wheelbase and actual weight and so can be combated. Edit: oh great tarty adam's reading....i think im going to get majorly corrected

hey, just wondering if someone could give me a few valuations for some bikes...thanks Bike 1 Zona zenith echo sealed h.set echo 130mm stem k910chain tensile FFW zoo bars meta front wheel try-all rear rim brand spankers minion fr tyre hansventure rear hope qr ( rear ) 04 magura, cnc'd blade braided x-over, koxx browns avid bb7 / shimano vee / front magura <--whichever echo urbans / viz forks v8s bike 2 Koxx levelboss onza stem zoo bars mission hubs try-all rims selkoff headset rear 04 magura, koxx browns onza trials mech front 04 magura, onza citrus Koxx forxx kmc chain v8s bike 3 Zona zip wtb headset x-hydra stem monty bars 2-tone paint job tensile urban legend cranks tensile FFW kmc chain wellgo v8 copies tryall on viz with try-all tyre rear wheel try-all on echo hub with maxdaddy tyre dual 05 maguras, koxx browns / ? pads basically testing the water...the koxx and zip are set to go and the zenith is just to "test the water"

lube both slaves and give it a fresh water bleed....should sort your problem

practice on an old rim then try it on yours......

Yellow: Butterblocks White: lardblocks inspires confidence i think

well alot of it is, apparently, that you either get a good king or a bad king...they're either awesome and never skip....or are kak and do full rotation skips and eat parts..... having never had one ( although am hoping to invest in one ) im not particularly sure

the gu is one of the best tgs style bikes.....and the pitbull was correct me if im wrong one of the best street trials bikes

i rode an 04 pitbull and loved it; but they're completely different bikes! you cant compare them even remotely, ...every part of the geo ( apart from the headtube angle ) will ve completely different....judst build both up to see what you prefer or take into account what your riding style is....

precisely...theres no ideal cs length

bikes starting to look good, front vee levers a bit but apart from that it looks pretty good

my zenith ( 18-16 ) with a k910 chain, 375mm stays has to have a tensioner

looks far better not a patch on my zoot though

if you still have problems id swap an 04 magura for the echo brake

Hence "mag-nalium"

ive got a 729 if anyones interested, disk only 32 hole, 26"

Neon...the mag frame ont he dob is a gimmick i think, a mate of mine in plymouth snapped his dob

KMC freestyle bmx ones are nigh on indestrutable, best chain out there IMO

you've got a job in cogs?.... nice, i tried to get one there a while back

Hopefully big plymouth ride this saturday, all welcome... Copthorne at about 11 on saturday, See you then

You mean kick harder? Thats part of it.....its more body movement; The more you dip the front wheel, the farther back on the bike you start from etc....

Drop me a pm or a text if you want to ride this sunday, or next friday and that weekend. 07972906755

Its ok there...theres some natural on the beaches, and wooden waves skate park , when you're down ill take you round if you want ( I'm from Lostwithiel by the way )

So if anyone's out and about and fancies a ride...drop me a text or a call on: 07972906755 Bringing a new face with me so it'd be cool if a few people showed up....thanks, Alex

must be a flipped picture...
