Anyone tried the onza lime pads yet? if so, good? bad?

Its your technique thats wrong, no good getting a new bars and stem and same happening possibley. Is it when you land your hitting or as you preload?
the possibility remark wasn't for you basher, many apologies. BUT could also be that technique is wrong i dunno,b ut im in need a change of setup on my bike anyway just refresh things, perhaps that'll answer it.
Oh yeah i hit my thighs as i've just finished preloading and springing out. lol
-
Im not sure about the stems but i have been using the try-all rage bars for a few months now and they still feel fine, there really nice geo too.
i may be selling them too if your interested in a second hand pair ? about 3 months old.
Mike
possibly, i need a new stem in order to use them first. how much we talking? condition?

Hey Guys and Girls,
At the moment i'm running a set of Tryall replica bars and Tryall 25.4mm stem on a mod (echo Lite) and i find that when i go for big gaps i hit my thighs on the bars and it rather painful and is stopping me streching as much as i should.
SO.... Here's the problem, I don't like Riser bars although i'm guessing that'll fix my problem but also WHich ones????
I've been Looking at the Tryall rage bars and the Zoo! riser bars with a Tryall 31.8mm stem. so just wondering what are the pro's + cons about them? Are they snappy happy? or whatever.
Tell us what you think and help me through this shinadigans.
Cheers,
Jake

To be honest, ditch Koxx and bring back megamo again. They were the shizzle back in their time
-
I agree with the deore choice.
Cheap as f**k, Powerful as a raging hardon in full swing

jake, there are two full time riders in your town that you could learn from , one is this years 20" senior british champion the other came third in the worlds and they have both had podium positions in europe this year, all you have to do is pop along and join in and have a go even if the places are hard riding just do the smaller stuff, you are always welcome.
roy.
hey roy!!
yeah i know that james n stuff practises alot, so if you can get him to let me know when you lot train then i'll join you, james has my number so if he forgets just give him a boot!! lol
"Philonza" sounds good would love to do it but birthday celebration this week lol plus gotta remember how to get there from folkestone as i followed up roy and james sheridan.
"glassvegas" Good ideas there, may try them out tomorrow night if its not too windy on the coast. also any ideas on how to drag one's ass out of the computer and onto the bike? Because usually riding by myself only lasts about 30mins or so as i get bored with no-one egging me on or w/e. im guessing setting myself a few small goals and achieving them would be a good start??
Good help so far though guys
-
Thats the thing, no-one really comes out in my neck of the woods especially when it comes to natural lol, All streety boys.
Nearest place i can ride with a small group is Hastings/Tonbridge area and thats £10 on fuel everytime, quite expensive if you want to do that 2-3 times a week on a student income lol.

Hello Guys and Girls,
After riding that comp at Hood Woods on sunday i came to realise that i do actually suck balls at natural riding.
Sooooo... I obviously realised that some sort of training is required to help me get better, BUT!
I hate riding by myself, There are a few riders around my area but most of which either don't like natural riding or are busy etc so i have no other choice but to do it alone.
This is where you Guys and Girls come in. I need some ideas on how to motivate oneself in order to get myself out slog it out, also... What sort of training tips/techniques etc would you give???
Any ideas/advice/abuse lol would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jakey

will see you there guys!!!!
Look out for a white echo lite
-
It all happens at once i presume. Otherwise we'd be allday lol
-
Yes Dave Bradley has confirmed the event is still on so noo pussying out hehe.
-
Anyone know what those citrus pads are like???
-
It should be alright, (fingers crossed) although i'm gunna give it a bash anyway no matter what the weather.
So i'm guessing quite a few are going?
-
I found from moving from a stock to a mod that:
The bike was easier to manouver,
The bike is alot lighter,
Found generally that my moves improved bigtime,
Better suited to my height,
Cheaper to mantain etc.
And just generally more fun to ride.
The cons of having a mod were:
Couldn't pedal very fast,
Rolling resistance greatly inscreased,
Lack of double disk frames.
Thats about it for me, But im sure everyone is different.
-
DAVE!!!
Si Norton should be about at wellington rocks on sunday too if you do decide to join us?
-
Well they arnt really the best are they seeing as alot of them crack, yeah they are good comp bikes because they are light but it hardly makes them a good bike and the fact they are light doesnt justify a extra 200 pound on the price tag.
Agreed,
And for the fact that my Echo Lite '06 i found hardly any weight difference in between that and my old XTP but found i improved MORE on the Echo than i did on the XTP.
But i suppose really geometry is a personal thing so can't really include but i can say that i saved over 300quid buying the Echo than another XTP and i know that the Echo will last too.
-
it may seem expensive to you but your paying for the best in my opinion!
Cheers james...
Some or maybe alot of people would perhaps disagree with that comment.
They're the best if your sponsored, so price doesn't really matter so much nor does the life expectancey.
But i personally wouldn't be able to justify spending that sort of money for a frame that only has a life expectancey of 3 months (Under warranty)
-
Lol it's a Koxx of its going to be expense!!!
-
Anyone else wanna get some practise before hook woods on the 23rd?
So far, its Me,
Ads (punkrider)
James sheridan (bonzojim)
Anyone else is more than welcome to pop along

while we're on the subject of ceramics, are there any wide 19" ceramic rims for mods?
-
wellington rocks are about a 5min drive away from toad rocks, well they could well even be called toad, but the toad rocks i know about is evidently next a rock shaped like a toad, which i went to and found that the rocks there are more for the pro and highly experianced rider.
wellington rocks have a mix for everyone from beginner to expert and much more enjoyable/ accessable from the town, probably a 5min walk from the forum in tonbridge wells.

Any Trade Secrets To Getting Tyres Off Rims?

Or just metal tyre levers. No need for a screwdriver full stop really.
