  1. Giro Xen ***! It doesn't matter which year you can get off of chain reaction cycles as the only difference is colour and stickers.
  2. That looks well good Its a fairly big one as well to say the least. Nicely done
  3. They both have amazing power but in my opinion the BB7 is so much more grabby. Its alot easier to set up as well and not much can go wrong. Unlike hydrolic brakes which need bleeding and spilling brake fluid every where. Its also cheaper!
  4. Awsome idea mate! How much did that little contraption cost to put together?
  5. I liked that video. The riding and the editing were all good. Liked the ending! Looking forward to the next one!
  6. Clean the disk as best as you possibly can; wipe it all clean with soapy water and then cook it for a while in the oven. For the pads put them over the hob for a bit so that the oil can burn off. Afterwards try and sand them a little as this will remove any surface oil that may be left on the pad. If none of this works then you will probably need new brake pads as the oil has seeped to far into them for cleaning. Hope I've helped
  7. Thanks again for all of the advice guys but I've just got my new bike so no need for any more. I've gone and bought myself a Zhi Zm3, rides like a dream.

    Custom Frame

    If I were you I just wouldn't go there unless you are quality at welding. If not you would make it all wrong, the geometry would be wrong and the frame would probably be as weak as hell! I say you just send Iolo an email and he'll just sort you out.
  9. I've never ridden a Zoo python but have heard lots of good reviews. I have though ridden a Zhi Zm2 and I can say that it is awsome, it does everything so easy and would be an awsome bike to own. It is quite short though. Hope I've helped

    Biff Vid 5 (ish)

    Awsome! Wish I could ride and edit videos that well!
  11. Nice pictures you've got there. That Hydroxx looks sweet!
  12. Nice pics and awsome riding. Its always nice to ride on a sunny day, shame we don't get many anymore.
  13. I would say that they are. I've moved on from V's and I can definitley tell the difference. The power and bite has improved so much!
  14. That is the strangest looking downhill bike I have ever seen! I can't think that is that stable to ride and jump with eather. Cool idea though.
  15. Put the tool on the freewheel and add on to it some major leverage, that should do the trick. You probably won't want to here it but I couldn't get mine off at all no matter what I tried so it had to be angle grinded to pieces to remove it.

    Yes Or No

    I'd never knock a fromt rim brake but I wouldn't have a grind on the front. It may give you power for stopping but for going down a hill you would wear down your pads so quick plus they would have a constant spueeking to them. Just put tar on or run a disk! But Koxx browns are awsome pads in my opinion.
  17. I'm impressed with that! I've never seen a frame snap like that before, what were you doing to do that to it?
  18. Lucky for some! I'm stuck with Lidl allen key set, mine are as tough as butter on the stiff stuff.
  19. If i were you I'd of put a bit of super glue in there first and then sewn it up. As for the bodge though nice one!
  20. Although the Try All tires wear fairly fast the grip that you get from them is just awsome! If you can't justify spending that much money on them though get the Maxxis.
  21. That looks smart I've always liked GU but that is definitley the nicest one I've ever seen! Bet it rides like a beast as well.
