  1. i grind my rims....well i grind my tyres
  2. 26" forks give the zoot a higher bb and slacker head angle; which a lot of ople prefer....a lot of the zoots around run echo urbans or pures with a disc. 24" sus forks are round about the same height as 26" rigid forks so would give the same effect....look at the 24" ashton frmae to get an idea fo what i mean
  3. im running 1065 at the moment! shes a beast as well.......and ive got my old 1040 coming back soon
  4. really good video...the only thing i didnt like was the transition effects betweek each clip...but some shweet riding
  5. looks awesome...not so sure about the green hope kit...but the frames lovely, geo?
  6. well hes already got it hasnt he....hes just abit short of cash now.... Id have a bash at the wheel build...if it doesnt work; nothing lost really; just get another rim that'll fit the hub perfectly
  7. i ran manitou six-sports on my trek for a while...and quite liked it...to be honest theres no real advantage; however i could see a point if you rode a 24"...a set of lightweight 24" compatible forks are about the same length as some 26" rigid forks, so would get the geo spot on...n fact..i think i may do that... Marino bikes + geo of an inspired + z1 bombers = sweet ass street/trials bike

    11.8kg seems way overboard! My mates one feels a lot lighter than that ( onza t-bird rear wheel, echo cnc'd front wheel, tensiles, full hs33s, t-poo forks ) They're not bad bikes...and certainly one of the nicest riding mods ive been on

  12. wiki? Awesome guide forteh, really useful, i do it exatly the same as you so theres not much i can add really....although, where you "ping" the spokes together, i put the wheel on the floor and lean on the rim..then repeat all the way round and on both sides; i find it does a far better job
