  1. I don't think it looks safe as when you make a mistake when riding trials you can sometimes end up with all your weight on the front wheel and pushing down on the bars, so is that happens and the bottom hose is the front break you might accidentally lock the front wheel up and be thrown over the bars.
  2. Oh is that why skeg was calling everyone yobs on Sunday? It was quite good in there like!
  3. I don't know why I haven't been validated yet, I've been trying really hard for ages.
  4. White spirit is terps isn't it?
  5. I thought koxx bikes were strong and lasted ages.
  6. I've got a 4 bolt booster but I've only got 2 bolts in it, works really well i just need some bolts and spacers!
  7. My mates xtp has cracked in three places, I think it's been cracked a while because its full of dirt but we only noticed on Sunday. Theres one really big one under the top tube were it joins to the seat tube and the other two are on the chain stays were they join to the dropouts. I think its a 04 frame, the one with the green try-all rims and green stickers on the frame.
  8. I swear by maxxis now i use them on all my bikes, I would say a 2.5 highroller or rear minnion on the back as they have 2 ply caseing for downhill so they hold up alot more. You can also get them in differant compounds for maxium grip/wear.
  9. Well I'm still non the wiser, ebay doesn't have any and the tar on the road has grit in it. I will get a bit off my roof and see if that works!
  10. I've looked all over the internet and cant find it anywere, all I've found is the monty spray. Does anybody know were to get tar from and how much it is? Thanks Mike
  11. Has anyone heard of the lancashire hotpots? They are a good laugh to listen to!
  12. Yer, I saw him at hamsterley forest when he had just started downhilling and he was canny good then, I would love to see him in real life now. I don't know how he throws that bike around like that he's a tank.
  13. I dont know if you knew but Chris Akrigg started to try differant types of riding, but i think now he's starting to be a bit silly on the DH. Check out the video!!!
  14. Oh good, I'm not too bovered about wieght as i did have a base t19 which wieghs a canny bit but iv just got a t-pro frame which is waintin to be built up, cant wait.
  15. Sorry i don't get what you mean there, but then you say echo are good but heavy?
  16. I was wondering if echo rims are any good as for some reson I have this idea in my head that they're crap i dont know why i think that but I'm doing my bike up in the echo green bits, which should look nice with my white frame iv already got echo bars but I'm a bit short of cash with the downhill racing as races are expensive and it wrecks your bike. Oh and what about echo forks?
  17. I sprayed my T-pro frame white today, but made a compleat bodge of it. I put a red oxide primer on then the gloss white but held then can too close so it dribbeld and i wipped it off but it all rough now, so I will have to sand it all down again and respray it form scratch!!
  18. Just open your eyes realy wide and stare at them when your talkin to them, makes you look hard. you should try it, lol
  19. It could be that the chain is streched on the teeth are worn. I would have a look as it could save you alot of maoney
  20. Good lad and you need a proof of size
  21. why is every one slaging 661 they last ages, they dont cost that much or less you get the realy good ones and just dont put them in the washing machine just rinse them under the tap if they get dirty. I love 661 all my protection is 661 for downhiling, helmet, gloves, body armor, knee/shins and shoes, i stand by them and wont change except i will get a troylee lid next time.
