  1. same, but doesn't mean i wouldn't mind knowing thou, for progression and mainly to challege my self
  2. indeed i don't like the high bb either
  3. sorry i'm no MOD guy, i like big old stocks
  4. yeah i don't seem to put enough energy into my riding when on me own. but saying that i have had good rides on my own but there really short. riding with others gives you some competition and ugre to impress even if your not a show off which i don't think i am because i'm still shit ha
  5. hydro formed frames??? what a do you mean a??
  6. yeah really good, takes a minute to set up but when its there i run it with fun bolts now and the tensioner stays where you want it but before with my QR it used to slip and slide about but i moded mine a little, drilled a hole to fit the fun bolts and added a bolt to rest against to frame to stop it moving up land on it, bend it back
  7. also will this set up fit on my echo external bb? i heard you can't fit a front free wheel on with bash or something. cheers harry
  8. Yeah i'd go for a KMC chain it's just what size will the set up take? 1/8 , 3/32 or a BMX chain ???
  9. hey which chain? Middleburns RS7 22tooth Sprocket Bash Plus an Echo External BB Single speed set with 19 tooth on the rear i reckon and a home made tensioner. i didn't no which chain you can run with this crank set up. its just the clearance between the bash and sprocket in the pictures i've seen that makes me wonder?? my T-rex it running echo 6061 with echo screw on and bash and i have loads of clearance for a fatty boi chain. any help would be great cheers harry
  10. yeah man thats unlucky, hope ur alright! me and fyfe had a bit of a mash up ride couple of days ago. we tried some pretty tame natural for the first time which i was well looking toward to but not being great yet, everything the same height seems a hell of a lot harder due to what your taking off from and mainly nothing to put your front wheel on after you f**k up the zap tap but i stacked 3-4 times in a row managed to escape with only 2 battered knees really got to do more natural i can see my self getting in to it alot more when i'm a bit better hope ur riding ipswich soon m8
  11. i ride with my ball of my foot on the pedal?? you ride with ur heels or do u mean your ankle? because i smack mine on the frame sometimes and that does hurt
  12. cheers how annoying thou!!! wanted to do it now!
  13. Argh just tried to take a apart me hub to clean and relube, i haven't got an alley key to fit the Hd lock ring !!! dam americans what size is it, i've got about 3-4 dam close fits, they must use really obsecure sizes, crazy cheers harry
  14. ur right we have only been riding 4-5 month so this will be pently bigger enough. yeah still haven't riden it been working to much plus the shitty weather. but i think sandy paint might be considered soon i can see it being a little slippy in the wet keep you posted harry
  15. i've been having the same god dam probelm!! i have a HD axel which has just been fitted and the whole hub had been cleaned and relube by tarty. and it still skips a little sometimes not enough to f**k me over but i don't want it to get worse. any other ideas? suggest cleaning and relubing?? but surely tarty no what they doing
  16. yeah sticky finger are balls, i got some second hand try all without much tread left and there much better i think its mainly the side walls beening thicker ???
  17. bloodly nice looks solid i'll be riding it 2morrow
  18. ah wicked they better than i thought. i really want get one, what riding difference between rotors?? cheers
  19. sorry but one question?? they say ball bearing disc brake?? when do ball bearings come into play with disc brakes apart from the wheel hub?? probably beening stupid.
  20. the forks are sprayed and the rear brake clamps are too the frame isn't just been sanded and lacquered. and btw it rides a beast almost ready to learn taps i think
  21. my rear axel snapped and i crossed threaded my pedal threads in the cranks.. so i thought i would completely strip it down and spray it. my first time spraying frames and stuff. but its moist. comments most welcome cheers harry
  22. yeah i got one, i have changed all the parts on it though, expect to do this soon before youi brake your face. have a look
  23. i eyed the Isis bit up with the cranks and didn't look like it would fit
  24. i really jut want to get the cranks out, and have a look. i tried the crank puller with both atractments and the square taper is too small and goes straight thou and the bit meant for Isis is too big? the other tool i brought it usless don't no how it would work any other ideas?
  25. hey i have a specialized rock hopper and have also got a nasty creaking sound coming from the BB area, it could just be the cranks creaky on the taper or what ever. but i just brought http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx...%20and%20Puller this was mainly for my T Rex and http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx...nk%20Arm%20Tool but either fit?? this is where i got the bike on cycle to work scheme. http://www.wheelies.co.uk/bikesNew/bikeDet...ier=SPECIALIZED it states it has a shimano hollow tech bb? is there a hollow tech 1 and a hollow tech 2? any help be great cheers harry i think i may have found it?? http://www.wiggle.co.uk/ProductDetail.aspx...ank%20Extractor is it this one???
