  1. http://www.starbike.com/php/product_info.p...en&pid=6714 Here it is for sale... hans rey rides with a similar one ( or at least used to when he was riding a red gt in an interview with mbuk )
  2. yeh, mats is damn solid...you cant feel the rim flexing away from the hub at all...just get a decent 3+ x build with some decent spokes with good tension and you'll be fine
  3. marzocchi mx pro's i think.....i wouldn't if i were you, its pretty gay to be honest, the suspension absorbs all your power away from you
  4. i really dont see the point of cnc backings....ive never used a brake with cnc backings that feels significantly better thsn plsccy backings...its just not worth it
  5. sound advice there; Id stay with rim brakes to be honest, i prefer them by far
  6. i pushed mine out a bit further with an allen key through the bleed hole ( 04 style ) but i guess slightly overbleeding is your best option with an 05
  7. should be good boys..... 60% chance of precipitation though for the sunday.. and 40% for the monday
  8. thats what mr muscle oven cleaners for !
  9. i dunno...i mean bmxers do it....the only real obstruction would be the lack of a mech hanger ( on stock ) and the direction of the freewheel...i came to the conclusiona while back that it wouldnt work...but if it does ill have a go with it probably
  10. really good, so flowing its untrue....bike looks cool aswell
  11. i normally take a pasty/pork pies with me....and some swiss roll and some soup....
  12. you sarcastic bugger...... Im at college....but on a more serious note...im on a free period..so get working!!!
  13. get the bike upside down...get a section of old handlebar etc, ram it down the forks ( from front wheel towards stem direction ) now twat that with a hammer...it should push the star nut out enough to grab the offending bolt with some molegrips

    Headsets?

    fsa orbit, or fsa pig ....end of they are both amazing budget headsets...that really dont feel budget in the slightest
  15. why cant you just use supercycles...that works...everyone knows it; its fine, just update both of the websites and you're onto a winner
  16. as strange as muels post is....i totally agree; rock n rooll cycles sound so amature......get a decent name to go with the updated site, new bikes and company image maybe.... hog cycles....i dunno..thats nearly as lame, but you know what i mean You could just sell it as onza bikes.....
  17. erm...or they're really really bored...... Ohh....nearly a trials master ....
  18. the most common ratios are normally 22:18 and 18:16.... ( burns etc and freewheel / singlespeed kit ) or ( Front freewheel and singlespeed kit / fixed hub )
  19. its awesome that older riders are starting again...i just met a bloke in college and he's started trials again on a mission prodigy and he's thirty.... i say good on you
  20. just get some dmr v8s....or if you're poor....wellgo v8 copies...£22 , £10 respectively
  21. 2 punctures in a week isnt that much to be homnest....just sort your self out with decent tyres, tubes etc...check the inside of the rim /trye for things that might puncture the tube ( eg thorns, spokes, rough metal ) and you'll be fine
  22. i erckon fair play to him....he's done a good job of designing some cool looking parts....okay so they're hardly trend-stting or innovative...but theres not much that is anymore
  23. i ran 18:16 and 24:22 ratios before on my woodstock
