Happy birthday!! tis my birthday today aswell

For dirt jumping, 24"(mtb) are far nicer than bmx imo. Bmx's are amazing for park and street yes, but for jumping, they dont have as much forgiveness if things go wrong, and they don't feel as stable in the air i think. and I can jump further and higher on a mtb than i can on a bmx. MTBs give me more confidence than bmx's, unless its for park, that's where bmx's own.

Shouldn't have removed the paint imo, looks okay though. but i'd spray it again!

yeah it should do! All rear mod spacings are 116mm as far as I'm aware. so it should fit fine EDIT: Dam Ross beat me too it!

I can't imagine that it would work all, all the profile components would be smaller than the hope ones, and it would just generally not work IMO.

Aright t-f Cleaned, serviced and changed a couple off bits on my dmr And is anyone good with photo shop by any chance? Because my frames needing a re-spray, and was wanting to know what it would look like if my frame was black, or a sky blue colour? If anyone's bored and fancy's photo shopping it for me, I'd love you forever

That thread is probably the best thread put on a forum, ever.

Marino make custom frames, for very good prices. Check out there website http://www.marinobike.com/

Full member I think.. (there is a full member stoozie im pretty sure?)

My mate has one of them, there nice to ride, Looks smart as f*ck and is dead good for the money! Just watch for the bb coming loose as it's not sealed cartridge bearings so it has a tendency to come loose, part from that it's sweeet.

I "thinks" he hasn't. Scott won't have scammed you, he's not a dick.

bring up my post

Cheers for your replys! and as for Hayes, I hate em, I hate the way they feel and all my mates have all broke them within a couple of months and generally not heard much good things about them!

Have a look at the inspired's of tartybikes, there a popular choice, cost a bit of money though. Or you could check out Marino frames, there custom built so you can order whatever geo you want and what break mounts etc you want, and they are dead cheap and are getting more popular!

Well my hope m4 is and has been sh*t since i bought it second hand so i can't be bothered paying more to try and fix it. So i want to try a mechanical break, because it saves bursting hoses, having to change seals and all the general problems I've previously had. So I'm wanting to try the BB7 cause all you guys seem to think there amazing haha. But before I waste my money id like to know 1) Are these brakes good on the back?(I'm not using it for trials, I'm using it on my dmr so I need it to be good for dirt/street, will this make a difference?) 2) Do they have a good hold and bite, but also be able to be good for feathering for moves like manuals? 3) Would it be better to get another hydraulic brake like the avid juicy 7? Cheers, Austen x

Well for a nano all you do is download a free video converter (just search google) then convert the video to mp4 format, then drag and drop into your itunes, then sync your ipod. So I'm guessing its the same for the ipod touch. Just re - read your post.......... If you download the new real player, and hover any youtube video it should come up with download video. So download it then do what I said above ^ That's all I can think off just now

Right so, everyone's seen your videos, and your expecting them to believe you'll do a "really good quality video" for them? Go take clips from other videos that you've downloaded and edit them together if your bored, if it works out, post it up.

Repost! But yeah it was funny first time round.

I can't imagine it working well mate, just invest in a cheap grinder, or get pads that are meant for smooth rims

To get cracks off - Try and hammer a flat head screwdriver in between the crank arm and bb cup, then try and leaver the crank off. If this doesn't work you could try hammer the crank off, but this isn't recommended as it can bend your crank arm. To get headset out - Providing it's not an internal headset, dismantle the headset so its just the cups left in, then get a long flat head screw driver and slot it down the head tube (make sure the screwdriver is pressed up against the side) and as you slide it down you should eventually hit an edge that goes right round the head tube (This is the headset cup) so hold the screwdriver in place and hammer all round that edge and the cup should come out eventually (Try not to be too rough as it could damage the headset cup or head tube, but if done correctly it won't.) I hope you could understand what I meant

Your star nut will be f*cked. Could either be the whole star nut spinning in the steer tube or just the silver threaded bit. Try sticking a long screwdriver up the steer tube to hold it in place and loosen the bolt. If that doesn't work stick a metal bar or bit off wood up the steer tube and hit it with a hammer and it will hammer the star nut out! you'll need to buy a new star nut though!

Am i the only one who learnt them fairly easy? Didn't take long for me to learn them, now I can do them for as long as I have speed, or until I get tired And I've never had a manual dream :$ If your legs are straight the front end will drop. If your legs are bent the front end will go up. If you start loosing speed you just pump your legs from straight to bent, over and over. That's just the way I thought off it, and within no time I had learnt it

Na was 29 degrees at 1ish, not sure bout the rest of the day! radio one even said Inverness was the hottest place in Britain that day haha But yeah amazing vid! I didn't think it was too bmx!

Spelling does matter mate! Just not everyone can spell every word. Just be helpful to new members and you should be validated in no time, just don't post another of these topics, moderators don't take too kindly to it

I knoww! Every round they have been amazing, but tonight they seem to have forgotten how to play football, every decent ball played was either off side, or just f*cked up by the receiving player.
