mods

i would think about 500. I don't want to spend a lot. But don't want to buy rubbish.

right i'm after an xc bike, but i don't whether to build one up like us trials guys do or buuy a complete? Either way can i have some advise on what components to get.

can i have a go i havent riden one before..?

The tall guy on the the ko would be me, and yes my back brake is the nuts as you know. Get the rock pads, just make sure you wheel is in straight or they will rub as there is soo much material.

how much do you charge to do that to frames?

you'll have to search that matey there have been loads of topics on grinding rims, with vids etc

might just need re-grinding, i re-ground mine recently and it's amazing again now

Not a fan of czar bikes, but that looks alright

The mod looks well nice, liking the ideas that have gone into it. I think the bars look nasty! far to flat!

get a short bike.. i have a really long mod, the only thing it's really good for is side hopping.

You do know the holes are circular for a reason... equal stress and all that.

going form mod to stock is about the worse dicision imo. But if it were me i'd prob give the new pure a try.

Agreed they are value for money, but doesn't that go staight out the window if you upgrade brand new parts after you bought it. I personally would buy exaactly what you want to start with, you'll only regret it otherwise

blue and gold go together..

i don't know if they are harder. But blues have eaten one grind and havent worn down at all really.

get a creepy crawler, most people seem to use them, they don't last all that well though imo. I am probably going to try something different next time. Maybe a try-all or eagle claw

agreed but where are you gonna get a titanium bash ring? I'd say get whatever, and try not to use it at all unless you fall on it then it can't be helped.

blue rocks pads on a sharp grind are awesome, mine have not worn down at all really since i have had them. My only downfall so far being that the grind has to be kept fresh and sharp or they will slip on drops and gaps etc.

looks really nice, i'd love one! i notice you have no dust caps is that your first weight saving idea.

just re ground my rim, and my brake is once again a complete monster. I thought my grind was pretty sharp. obviously not.

I'm sorry but this is a rediculous topic, if you really don't miind just select any colour when you order. It is pointless what we all think.

link dosen't work for me..

before i starting using gloves i used foam grips once, and they mullered my hands and only lasted about a week, so no i think they are shit, perhaps better with gloves? I now use try-all rubber and they are perfect, don't see the point in trying anything else now

i put a bit of copper tube over the end and jus hammered it in, worked a treat.
