  1. they are pretty good, only dowside is the bb drop and the long rear end (if your into pure trials stuff) but if you like streety style riding (but still want a trials bike) it's a good choice
  2. me and Hobbsie will be there :D on sunday
  3. Ritchey foam grips are very very good, but might me a bit too thick (but they do last for ages)
  4. thought you were getting a king anyway? (Y)
  5. carbon is normally used with epoxy as well, which helps make it stiffer and stronger (Y) then they oven-cure it. it does have quite good compressive strength, and tensile strength, but it would be way too brittle to use as a chainring for trials
  6. yeah, but i doubt he will do anything for free, because ive already given it bak 2 him twice! (Y) reckon i'l get tart to re-build it
  7. surprisingly, yes! B) but, andy P had a look at it yesterday and noticed that the drive side has been laced with DT double butted spokes, and the non-drive side is laced with plain gauge! (Y) and the DT spokes twisted when he tried to tighten them, so they can't be tensioned anymore than they already are, so the plain guage spokes can't be tensioned anymore either! (Y) anyone want to shed some light as to why it has been built like this??!! looks like i mite be needing a tart build! (Y)
  8. it was built by my lbs, he is pretty good with wheels though
  9. the tyre clearence on levelboss's isn't that great, the gap either side is even, but there is only about 2mm either side, and the spoke tension is even on both sides
  10. it is on the drive-side, but the wheel is perfectly true and can't really be tentioned any more. I could probably live with a 2.35, but i prefer having the wideness of a 2.5 (Y)
  11. at the moment i'm running a 2.5 minion in my levelboss, but it catches slightly on the chainsaty when i put loads of power through the cranks (e.g. big gaps) does anyone else have this problem? i'm running a 40mm Viz rim. Would a 2.5 Highroller fit better? or will i have to go for a 2.35?
  12. not when i'm at college, with my non-existant debit card (Y)
  13. becuase i want to order a Kool chain? :D Edit: cheers Danny :(
  14. i can't find it on the site, so does anyone know what it is?
  15. very nice! didn't think it was possible to make a frame with a higher bb than the vinco! :D i wanna go! :D

  17. shame it doesn't ride as nice as it looks....... :P hehe Edit: but get rid of those skanky truvativs as quick as you can! i'm tempted to give you my burns just to make it look right! :P
