  1. It has to be a GU Typhoon with silver forks or an Adamant with silver forks. (26") and then King rear and pimped out with GU bits.
  2. Also try bending your legs outwards for more control once you've learnt how to do it.
  3. I started because my mate started mototrials so he started to get to no the people and some of them did it so it was sense to start bike trials aswell and then i followed seeing what a good technical sport it is.
  4. You live quite close to Derby so get yourself down to Derby bearings. They will sort you out in no time with quality bearings that are ever so cheap! If they don't sell the right ones they will make some that will would fit.
  5. My Zoo! pads seem to be running nicely with a grind. I have had them quite long aswell and there is not as much noise as expected.
  6. I had this problem when i got the BB7, just ride with the break half in so it makes the disc steaming hot then chuck a bucket full of water over it. I did this a couple of times and now its awsome! You don't need to change pads or anything and i run a standard cable so really its just a case of bedding it in and doing the water thing with it.
  7. Yer its not acually for me, it for my mate who isn't a member but i will tell him. Cheers
  8. I have a stock rear wheel, its an echo rim. Which hole size would fit that rim because i want to get the monty 219 rear hub (116mm) but it only comes in 32h drillings. Would this fit a 26" echo rim? Thanks Grant
  9. My bearing race completly collapsed in my BB while i was riding.
  10. Echo brakes are the worst brake i have ever encounted! My mate had a pair of them and there was nothing but problems with them, so he just sold them on ebay and got a pair of maggies. They haven't had one thing got wrong yet.
  11. Kings are pretty easy to service and you don't need to spend 80 quid on the tool either. They sound nicer as well.
  12. Yer building a bike from scratch is best because you no exactly whats going in and how you did it, plus when you buy a new bike you might not want some of the parts or you could get some parts that are cheaper and do the same job.
  13. Thanks for the replys. It looks like brought the right one then. Cheers
  14. Hi i have just bought an skf bottom bracket because the whole bearing race on my echo fell to pieces so i can't use it anymore. I was just wondering has anyone had any problems with the SKF 300. I rode with it today and it feels so smooth but is there anyone that has had any problems with it? Cheers Grant

  16. Looks very nice. My mates got the 116mm frame and he has had nothing but problems with it.
  17. If they is a costco close to you then they should be thousands of them.
  18. Knees bent out and tilting towards the rear end. Thats what i do and seems to work.
  19. Yer these brakes are amazing. I run them with a shimano XT lever and they hold like a beast!
  20. Is it me or am i the only person who doesnt know how get a display picture up on the left hand side << Can someone tell me how please? Thanks Grant
  21. The Dabomb looks better but i rode the 06 and they are horrid to ride it feels so low and hard to control, but i dont know what the new ones like it could be 10 times better.
  22. Go for GU the Pitbulls look boring now, and the GU is ment to have a very good ride.
