    Went to MK before for a ride, one big let down!! Built in a day entirely for skateborders it seemed, most ledges had metel edges or had been waxed so much you thought it had been booked into a beauty salon!!! :D

    I did think the skate park by the bus station was the best place in MK, not joking either. No disrespect to people that live / ride there... Just looked really fancy but nowhere descent to ride...

  11. Snapped Mech Hanger Running A Pro2?

    Hi Guys,

    Riding Oxford yesterday bunny hopped onto a curb followed by a stoppie and yes went over the bars! :- (managed to jump clear of bike so no pain involved!) but the bike twisted underneath me and came down heavily onto the rear mech... Didn't snap it but when bending it back it did... :angry:

    Anyway, went to this bike shop called BikeZone or something like that by the covered market (absolute rubbish they are!) they said "Yeah, thats a special mech hanger. Might have to phone saracen to get them to order you one..."

    It was one of those moments where you want to say "yeah mate!? come back when you know about bikes" but i refrained from that & left knowing we'd make it work somehow... :shifty:

    Anyway, went to a hardware store & got a big bolt. (same size as the Hope Pro 2 ones) took the mech hanger off and took out the bolt from the Pro2, put the screw through the mech then into the Pro2 and tightened it up, looks nice, less to hit and i'm sure ten times stronger...

    Hope this helps people? ... lol .... ^_^

    Get it? Hope this helps.... Ahhh pure class! :D

    My Zoo Rider bar's are 29" and there well nice to ride with. I guess its each to their own but i feel i have more control with wide bars and my power moves are better...

    maybe it has something to do with how far your shoulders muscle are apart for big moves??? (dont quote me im not a doctor!) B)

    weather forecast for saturday looks awesome but will be blooming freezing so bring a jumper!

    Will more than likly try to get into Oxford for about 11. Meet county council hall?? (by the castle).

    We normally park at the oxford train station short stay, it's right outside the main building. It is free to park and in a safe place. (for those that have bike racks on cars and don't want to pay £20 for parking all day!) :D(Y)

    What you think people?? rwiley?? :mellow:

    If no-ones mentioned you can buy roofing tar from a hardware shop roofers go to, put a little amount in a plastic bag, throw into the freezer and leave for like a day... When it comes out, hey presto! Rim Tar ready to use... (Y)

  23. Brake Pads

    Hello people,

    I had a thought :o , how easy would it be to make your own pads?

    Would it be possible somehow to contact the suppliers of the rubber and order a huge block, Then you could simply cut bits off and use glue or sumin to stick it to a magura backing... :huh:

    let me know, cheers. (Y)
