  1. Pivotal seat and post and your work is done... Also, what bars are those?
  2. JohnyMilton on here is the guy to speak to - just search him up in the members database. I used to live in Edinburgh myself, but unfortunately I moved away a few months ago...
  3. I really enjoyed the video itself - the riding was really cool, but what was your interpretation of the theme? Was it just in the song title or were the clips progressively taken as you worked your way around your usual circuit? Did you travel to ride there? I think each entry should have a short accompanying synopsis which explains the concept behind the editors interpretation of the theme.
  4. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Bit too much cake, eh Ross?
  5. Seaton Sands looks awesome, can't wait to get down there.
  6. Are you proposing that Tartybikes had Hope make a differently designed hub just so they could put their name on it? Why would they do that, and why would Hope do that, when the original pro 2 works fine as it is? I've had one - they're just pro 2's with Tartybikes written on the hubshell. Never had any problems with it - it's identical to the other one I got from crc, but with the additional writing.
  7. Good point - I just suggested tyre and tube off to reduce the potential for expensive accidents for someone trying a grind for the first time.
  8. Grinding is when you give the sidewalls of your rim a rough texture so that friction/grip between your pads and the rim is better. It basically gives you a far grippier brake which will work in the wet as well as in the dry. You do this by removing the tyre and tube from your wheel and running the disc of an angle grinder or similar tool lightly around the sidewall of the rim at a shallow angle. There's no point in buying a chrome rim if you're going to grind it - you'll simply remove the chrome from the sidewalls and they'll look duller than the rest of the rim. It'll also be tougher to grind than a rim with a bare aluminium wall because you'll have to grind through the chrome coating before you get to the underlying aluminium.
  9. He uses 24 inch wheels - you can't physically fit 26 inch rims into an inspired frame. The website states that he uses 26 inch tubes because he does. As a 24 rider myself, I do as well. You just fold them over slightly and pump them up within your 24 inch tyre and they work fine. When you're out on a ride and you puncture, it's a lot harder to get hold of 24 downhill specific inch tubes from most nearby bikeshops than you'd think. Most stock 26 inch dh tubes though, so it's far more conveniant to use them.
  10. Exactly. The grass is always greener on the other side. Don't even think about cheating. Rather than pumping this other girl, sit down and think long and hard about whether or not you really want to be with your current girlfriend. That you're even entertaining the idea of cheating shows you don't. As other people have said, think about how it'll make her feel - you might be totally detached emotionally from her, but she isn't (I don't know either of you, so I'm making an assumption here) from you. You'll get found out in the end - it always happens - and it's going to really hurt her when you screw her over. Nobody deserves to have that done to them.
  11. Yeh... pretty impressed. We'll have to get it on video.
  12. Not me - got an exam on the 6th. Sorry I didn't get back to you last night. Got an exam at half 2 today so was revising. Did you and Johny go out?
  13. Danny did another recent more extended interview with STV which has some new stuff in it. http://entertainment.stv.tv/home/90292-int...rforms-for-stv/
  14. It just made national TV news up here in Scotland. Can't believe how quickly this has taken off...
  15. It's a witty newstastic pun on bough, as in the bough of a tree, presumably because he flairs off one in the vid?
  16. I'm in Cyprus till the 8th, so OUT. Although its about 20 degrees here and there's about 10 times as many rocks as in Cambusbarron. Win some lose some.
  17. That bail where the kid falls down the drain shaft is brilliant.
  18. My rear magura has to be about 6th hand. Still going strong though. I've had my raceface stem and middleburns for well over 5 years now.
  19. On the products page you've said brakelines are instock, rather than in stock. Otherwise it seems like a decent enough start. Pics of products?
  20. I'm really looking forward to this. Should be an interesting experience since I'm used to doing a lot of rolling rather than static stuff
  21. Sweeet... That front end looks awesome, must be the forks Ride soon?
  22. Yes! My flat is in the second one down.
