  1. zoo forks are the best stock forks on the market in my opinion. they come in four bolt or disc options. really strong and super thick steerer tube for 07. it also happens to be the case im selling some four bolt only stock forks brand new un-touched at all. if your interested add me to msn please. ta
  2. well im sure ill get abuse for it, with joemaher loving his, some people will enquire as to why i said that it could be the frame. BUT, the geometry wont suit everyone, and it may be the frame that doesnt suit you rather than a specific part. however i am very partial to a certain bar and stem set up (or at least geometry of stem etc), however i do know that some frames just dont suit me. (basically anything shorter than 1080 or anythin with less than 20mm bb rise) i just cant adapt to, no mattter what the set up
  3. as i got older i have become more aware. but riding with damon is incredible watching the boy, he knows no fear. just kinda how i used to be. that said though, i generally dont consider stuff that much before i do it. and i worry about the consequences later. simple really
  4. nice idea but what about those with koxx rims that have angled sidewalls
  5. Saddams moment of death - on a mobile phone apparantly...... http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/HL0612/S00381.htm
  6. maybe its the frame that is holding u back.......
  7. joe is a good lad at heart. he is the kinda guy you would pus over on an ice rink.... not sure why
  8. only person i tend to listen to when riding is damon (when i do see him), if he pushes me then ill usually think about it (that doesnt mean ill do it) he encourages me alot. however in aberdeen there is alot of piss taking so its not really putting me off the move its more im in hysterics because of how funny the banter is. then ill go do that move in a minute. meh
  9. whats the point when he high rollers and minions are some of the BEST trials tyres available. not many will have sent emails matey. well i doubt it anyway
  10. lever BODY looks cheap i agreee, but no doubt he will CNC it to the max.
  11. Anyone who disses the internet (hinted at my lecturers at uni) can suck this. super fast. news travels like lightening.... but below is apparantly the new echo hydro brake. enjoy discussing
  12. i like it boys. i would, however prefer, to have a fast reply point in EVERY forum? is this possible? ta ben
  13. i didnt pay for the hub and i run 116mm dropouts so a pro II wouldnt fit now would it i did an uber bodge, and someone else broke it in an unknown way. so yer very strange circumstances. either way its broken just now. ive spoken to edd potts. going to send the axle to him, see what he can do for me cheers for the help guys
  14. yer thanks for that. my deng hub is fine, had no problems at all except I WANT beefier bolts,
  15. its the thread pitch that is wrong though. surely if i put a 1.5mm thread pitch in a 1mm pitch thing it will all get messed up? not sure....argh i wish i were an engineer. cheers for the help jake, ill try edd potts as well.
  16. again its the bolt size im most annoyed about. i just want something with beefier bolts (as in allen key size) so i can get more torque on it. without rounding the bolt. basically i want to try get a profile style bolt to fit my deng hub, but the thread size is so weird on a deng hub (10mm x 1mm pitch) which makes it shit. its a tough one. suppose i could try speak to edd potts. see what he might say. any one else?
  17. now i should have made some measurements, but it just snapped now. yer re-threading it would lose a lot of metal. the unfortunate thing is that - the thread pitch of a deng hub is impossible to find with an 8mm allen key or something similar. rather than the pishy 5mm that is on it. so looks like machining an axle is an idea? maybe?
  18. Right, i just had my axle threaded on my deng hub. i want bigger stronger stiffer bolts for the axle, but due to the thread pitch this doesnt seem possible. SO......my question is..... does anyone have any ideas, could someone make me a new axle? could i re-tap the axle threads to something bigger. similar to a CHRIS KING FUN BOLT? any ideas please? ta ben
  19. wish i met more forum members. seems like an alreet guy from posts ive seen you make
  20. the level of respect for you kyle has lowered. i no longer feel for you in the way i did. ill miss you and your stock waaaaaaaa
  21. i thought it was going to be every picture with a shitty exposure, glad you had some clean cut photies in there. really nice sites not my favourite layout, and on my firefox it comes up with scroll bars on the links viewport thingy (i havent done any web design in ages so forgetting all the terminology)
  22. paolo nutini - (you spelt paolo wrong btw) thus tuobyeuo
