  1. I'd never had bought them, but now I have them I have to say Middleburns! I think I have the Super Pro Trials ones, the older ones with the 16t TI bash, and they are really well machined and finished, and so stiff! I don't think I have ever ridden stiffer cranks.
  2. Jesus christ calm down the lot of you! My mate has a Da Bomb harbinger with a 20" rear wheel, and I'm pretty sure the schoole does because I was thinking about buying one once. Read the tyre, if you need a 20", then buy a 20". And the rest of you lot should shut up before you start shouting and swearing, you don't have the bike in front of you so there is no need to argue. The topic starter and OWNER OF THE BIKE said it was a 20" rear tyre, "20x2.5". Answer his question, if he has supplied the wrong information it's his problem, but lets assume that his 20" tyre is indeed a 20" tyre for the time being.
  3. Cai ordered his and got it, but theres quite a lot of people waiting on Heatsink parts I think.

    This A Scam..

    He must have been scammed by someone called "merlin-rider" on ebay, ask him for the details of this account and report them? Either that or he is a bullshitter.
  5. I've got a Pro2, it's been great so far, I've only had it for about 4 days though haha.
  6. Maggy only by the looks of it aswell.
  7. They were Monty TIs I think. You didn't have to quote the picture, if you take the pictures tag out of the quote then everyone will know what you mean, it just saves making the pages too long.
  8. My brothers has been sweet for 6 months, no leaks at all. I gave it a bucket bleed when I built it though.
  9. I'm not certain, but I think the Coustelliers are designed for 18:15, I'm not certain though. I was talking to Bigman about the horizontal dropouts on his and I think he said it was.
  10. the mount for the bashplate looks way too far up the tube to mount anything on to me, so it must just be because its a proto frame, so they left it a bit longer than if it were to be used for a mod when it came off the production line, before they fabricated this prototype.
  11. That looks really smart, I was wondering what mine would look like with black rims, pretty similar to that I'd imagine. Very nice!
  12. Haha, I take it back now. I don't really care, I still have a Tensile and won't change it if someone offers me an ENO swap!
  13. I always thought Onza were a bit harsh on that one, true it was your idea, but using a tool that everyone already has for their BBs to remove the freewheel should be allowed on other freewheels if you ask me. This plazzy one is a bit much though, it's a cheap, unsealed, 60 click freewheel that has the lockring next the the BB, that looks identical to apart from it's had some of the teeth for the tool filed off, and the paintwork on the locking sanded off.
  14. Unfortunately yes, I can barely ride the mod now after getting used to this, I was hoping that I'd be able to ride both. I'll keep it for a while though, but I can't see myself riding it at all really. I can ride natural on the stock probably as well as I can on the mod, but I think I'm riding street better already. Cheers Jonny, ride soon dude!
  15. I drilled the sidewalls on mine, I saved 18g. If I were you, I'd just wait for the Kamel rims to become available to the public, they are under 300g, so you'd save over 100g over your TI rim.
  16. 170mm, I'm used to 18:12 with 158mm cranks, so 16:14 felt way too low. I've got 16:13 now, I only had a quick hop round outside but it felt perfect. Hey Adam, if you thought my hopes on my Mod felt firm at the lever, wait till you feel these! Matching carbon lever blades now, they are so nice on your finger, I'm thinking about getting another set on the Echo!
  17. My brother has first dibs and my mate has second, but if niether of them have it I'll post it up on here and I'll PM you. That is if I decide to sell it, I havn't made my mind up yet.

    Eno Skippage

    Thats the most unlikely thing I've ever heard, thats only ever happened to me when running a rear cassette with a knackered chain and no tensioner. The chain is not skipping, what you need to do is strip it and clean it out, and also check the pawl order, I've heard them arriving with 3 long pawls and 3 short in that order, they need to be long, short, long, short, long, short.
  19. You're going to get shafted if you try to market that here, Onza managed to stop the Echo freewheel being sold I believe, and that was 72 EP, the only thing that Deng copied was the method of removal. I bet if we were to open that up, they would look identical.

    I can't believe I've only just spotted this, I almost went to the Bunnyhop, but I can't remember why i didn't go in the end. Such a sad loss, makes me realise how lucky I am to reach my 18th! RIP wee man.
  21. Mr Muscle works apparantly, never done it myslef though. Spray it on, leave it for an hour or so, check on it, repeat until shiney silver.
  22. I've never been ID'd in the pub up the road, but it is more in the countryside.
  23. I'm not certain, but I'm pretty sure the Trials one has more engagement points. Just get the trials one and run 6 speed, the Pro2 Trials is worth the extra money over a mono or and XC, and probably a normal Pro2 aswell if you ask me.
  24. Does you bike always do the same pose? I've got a KHE Collapse on my stock, I believe it is because 16:14 gearing and below tends to snap KMC chains really easily. It looks incredibly beefy, I doubt I'll ever snap it.
