  1. Cheers man Ohh you make them sound sooo good! They are definitely going to be considered as they are quite cheap also compared to the others Im skint at the moment No worries mate Atleast it keeps the thread bumped Will do when i have the money just checking for the best to run before buying any
  2. If you have no problems with the amount of money then you should get a King! and then buy an ISO disc hub shell for it and get the internals changed over Then you have a Amazing hub with a 10 year warrantee and also you can buy everything you need for a King from Tarty
  3. Cheers for the info mate and yeah they were the coust pads i was looking at Very helpful indeed that guide Thanks very much True! Right ive now narrowed it down to: TNN, Phat pads or Cousts (Greens). The Cousts are the most unlikely of the choices as ive never witnessed them being used and they are a bit on the expensive side But although the TNN pads are also quite expensive the good feedback ive had from them on here evens it out a bit And for the Phat pads... The cheapest but ive seen these being used and had a go on a bike with them on and the brake was set up S*it and it still worked the b******s... So really and truly its been narrowed down to the Phat Pads or the TNN pads ... I hate deciding
  4. Yeah the old CRM pads are the same compound as the new ones if you didnt know but i dont know if the CNC backings makes them better My Koxx browns have quality bite but not good hold lol Cheers for the other info about the other pads aswell mate oh yeah what colour cousts was it that you said were a good comprimise by the way?
  5. Very true what you have said there Simps! But dont the Rimjam V3 pads rip the piston clip off? Because of their crap CNC backings! Also didnt you use the old Plazmatic CRM pads without the CNC backings? What colour Coust pads?
  6. Cheers Simps I was just getting other peoples opinions on what worked the best for them So i guess you've voted for Phat pads? Ok then mate At the moment im stuck between getting: TNNs, Phat pads, Coust Yellows (as somone suggested) or Coust greens. Im running Koxx browns at the moment but they only seem to work when i use them on a grind with tar; saying that the grind was flat
  7. Ok then cheers mate Ok then ma'friend these are definitely going into consideration Yeah the phat pads are the ones i was considering first of all they seem pretty beastly!
  8. Are they good on a medium grind aswell then? how long would they last?
  9. Thats the only problem mate... i dont know how to fit the material into the backing or get the existing material out of the backing i would want to use : /
  10. Ok then cheers mate ill ask him on MSN Do they come in CNC backings or plastic? Also How much are they?
  11. Are they Phat pads?
  12. One of my mates has got them but they dont seem that good : / Maybe because he is running them on a smooth rim?
  13. I dont know what pads to get please can give me some feedback and vote to which pad you think are the best... I dont know if those are the right Coust pads, im thinking of the green ones with the CNC backing are those good for a grind?
  14. Its getting there Jordan Should have my bike built again soon I thought you were taking your GCSEs early Jack and you still dont know your 'theres/theirs/they're' your meant to use this one: they're lol ... this shows you how bored i am
  15. dont get me wrong though it is a good vid :D
  16. you might have only had the bike a month but had you ever been on anyone else bike or be out with others who did trials?
  17. I absolutely love that bike mate I especially like the cranks and the bashring i might have to invest in some of those my self 10/10 for the bike ma'friend How does she ride?
  18. The only problem with FSA pig headsets is the bottom bearing are unsealed : / so when it comes to changing the headset to another frame they falll out if your not careful (easily replaced though) im saying this as it happens to me everytime i change my headset to a different frame (keep forgetting, lol) hope this helped

    My A3

    Make sure your measuring the wheelbase correctly middle of front axle, to middle of rear axle my python long came up as a 1045mm which is correct (as it was the 07 one)
  20. Your lucky i didnt happen while you were riding you would have surely eaten sh*t if it did
  21. You can get a grinder from argos for £12.50 (i use one) i use the diamond and titanium disc on it though (bought seperately, form a DIY store) the disc cost £25 but its worth it because it wont fray like some of the other ones do

    Zhi-sam?

    I made a deal with ZHI-sam on here about swapping BBs... i sent my one to him on monday and he informed me that he had recieved it on tuesday (which is always good to hear) he said that he hadnt got his one sent to me on monday because he was with his GF which is fair enough he PM'd me on tuesday saying it had been sent and should be with me by wednesday or thursday.... the BB is still not here and i need it to build my bike up : / i have PM'd him Twice since then to ask him if he has sent it but i have had no reply, and i have seen that he has been online since i had sent him the PMs... if anyone knows Zhi-sam in real life or can contact him by telephone then please can u give me any info on where i stand in reieving the BB? I think this is fair as i sent him the BB as by the promised date and he informed me he recieved this but i have recieved nothing in return... Many Thanks to any help possible Jamie If you see this sam it isnt a rant about you it is more an enquiry just to know when i am going to get the bb
