  1. foo fighters. all my life. it has an excellent intro that just puts everyone in the mood for riding a realadrenaline pumpin song
  2. break the chain and place it over the largestcog ont the rear. then pull it as tight as possible and see where it would join. then add two links to this and rejoin with a chain tool or split link.good luck
  3. hey.at th moment i'm using vans xl3 rowleys. they have a wafle design on the sole gving excellent grip on mypedals and have never once slipped even when covered in mud. they're around the fifty pound mark and look really good. i relly do reccomend these to any rider
  4. wrap the frame in bubble wrap. cover it with 3 bin bags and gaffer tape. go to post office and say "oi bitch i wann send this" they weigh it and u pay. i sent my 2.2 kg adamant insured for 300 pounds for just £ 10. 50
  5. my best stupid idea was when a copper asked me if my brakes were good i told him i wasnt sure and for him to have a ride. i told him the front one wasnt too good, (its hopemono trial), so to pull it hard. he did and went straight over the bars. that landed me locked up over night in skegness polce statin and an 80 pound fine.also my lever started leaking oil from the grub scew. i tightened it and filled it with glue and hey presto, it stil leaks. bummer
  6. well i snapped a bottom bracket, made a rear koxx rim into a banana, crushed an echo front rim , bent my dmr v12 axles and bent my mech hanger. the best thing was i wasnt riding when this hppened. i did although happen to be sitting in the seat of a 5 tonne jcb mini digger. the mech anger bent back into shape so it cost me 140 pouds to repair my bike onstead of 147. i always look on the bright side. i save 7 pounds.
  7. very nice bike. the bb area looks alot like my friends zoo python neil tunnicliffe edition with the brace chainstays. i think zhi and zoo may have the same designers or the zhi designers are just lazy. suppose its the same as most frames now.
  8. hey nice bike. my friend had on exactly the same but the tapers in the non drive side crank have gone. i think about 350 maybe 400 would be a good price. i thin k this because trials bikes are hard to sell and tend to lose value rapidly due to the fact that they are scrtched and as my mother says "abused" she doesnt undestand. also the nature of riding tht trials involves means that parts can wear quickly meaning that it is hard to kow what condition they are in without taking it apart e.g hub bearings, bottom brackets and head set bearings. hope this helps you in your decision to sell. maybe you could look in the sales section of the forum at bikes of a similar spacification to get a rough estimate of value
  9. water? will that no freeze i live in skegness it cold 1 day out of 100
  10. hey. well to be honest i've only used magura royal blood but was wondering if there was an good substitutes that work any better? maybe a thiner fluid for a snappier feel? anyway if you have any ideas just leave a reply. thanks loz.
  11. go try-all all the way hold grinds well with crm's and are strong and light best rims out at the momnent
  12. hey. my break was terrible with a grind and the red rock pads (they were supposed to be the same compound as blues according to tarty, but wrong die was used) and it was terrible. i put a light grind on and some plazmatic crm's and my brake is a monster and makes such a nice squeak with an immense bte. do it with crm's. u no u want to. ope this helps
