mine rides alreeet. i dont run gears. shorter axle = STRONGER less chance of snapping. depending on what hub you use it makes a stronger wheel imo. i have a deng hub. yes its the original one i recieved, i have had an axle made for 8mm allen key bolts. wheeel is great. anyway to the frame. less sticking out...its for those who dont want wheels. i think its the way forward to be honest, its just unfortunate that it isnt as compatible with the modern wheel and drive chain components. although when hope make the pro II mod hub or you buy a bmx king hub then i think it will start becoming more common. lets be honest i think the majority dont use gears...so surely making a frame rear end thinner to reduce the stress on the frame / axle etc can only be a good thing. also horizontal dropouts rule. although snail cams DONT

So since im in final year of uni, and working as well, riding has taken a back seat for a while. i got my 07 adamant up and running and am now feeling alot more comfortable on it. Anyway the video http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media.php then follow the links for streaming - there will be a link on http://www.heatsinkbikes.com later tonight. Any comments welcome.....yes this is my tap - gap - sidehop - hook video, its how i ride deal with it or dont watch it.

Chris should u not jsut maybe take the posts that aren't directly related to chain tensioners and put them in their own topic about th argument. although at times it makes very funny reading with the bitchy-ness of it all, it does have some points raised and opinions that certain people should be taking note of regarding the competition world. which reminds me....i need to speak to some folk about our scottish competitions. (we dont have any gears required) haha on a more specific note. the gears rule is something im not commenting on. if i rode comps seriously i would be riding it for the sake of the banter. If i cant ride the very top class just because i havent aquired enough championship points to move from a lower ranking because of my lack of gears (not that im good enough to ride the very top level) then im nae really that fussed. i go to support trials. BUT its off puting for newcomers.....

yup, i was a high bb guy +55 ish, but now the new adamant suits me much better in my opinion. suits me. and as im ALMOST as OLD as rowan i also find the higher bb gives me a sore back (cos i run a low front end set up) (yes i have tried higher). im the man anyway. do as i say. not that ALi C fella. he is a gorilla

Which Rider/style Would U Rather See A Video Of...
ben_travis replied to Joe Papasnap Maher's topic in Trials Chat
i do, but im miles better to be honest, its a simple question of who is better, and its me. sorry damon. but yer its the truth. ach boys, boys, boys, kinda hard to say anything on this topic, but yer who cares. but if we are talking about riders then they are both modest, ace guys, who i consider mates,(although damon is a willy warmer) and both impress me and i could watch either all day. and to whoever insinuated that damon doesnt have skill that danny does and danny doesnt have the power that damon does, ill have you know you couldnt be further from the truth, sidehopping 55inch is not about pure power at all, and bunnyhop 360's or some shizzle like that is not pure skill. to be honest most of us on here will never be able to compare ourselves to these riders, both are ace in their own right, BUT IM BETTER -

Teenage Angst Communal Agony Aunt Thread

single is shit. -
i think ur slightly daydreaming myself, 50k for someone who is 18. im not so sure to be honest. my dads on no more than that and he was the OIM (offshore installation manager) basically the effin captain. someone is bunking up the amount you get paid. and i certainly dont think you will be earning 50K as soon as you hit 18. and sometimes you do exaggerate gav. seriously exaggerate.....

if u can darren maybe considder a different rotor. those are not the strongest and bend quite easily.... or so damon found out anyway. looks nice. schweeeeeet
