  1. Hello I am starting a project witch it to build up my handsome dog Rock hound witch has bead passed down to me by my older brother. Some of you may no him (Daniel Cartwright).I am restoring it to the way I remember it. I loved it so much so now its time to get it back up and running I can’t wait. Spec: Handsome dog Rockbound frames: chrome Handsome dog Rock hound forks: chrome Fsa orbital headset: black X-lite dh stem: orange X-lite g-force bars: black Magura hs33 brakes: race line Hope ti-glide hubs: red Mavic d521 sup CD ceramic rims: gray Nokian 2.2 tyres: black Middleburn cranks 28 teeth: silver/red Race face bottom bracket: red cups Tioga trap pedals: red/black 9 speed xtr gears: black Sram 9 speed chain: silver Mini seat: black I would like some comments about how you think it will turn out (looks/feel to ride ect). But if you’re just looking to say bad things and sture things up just don’t even bother commenting thanks Jordan.
  2. Hi there is going to be a Leicester ride on the 27th of December at 11am. We will be meeting at Leicester crown court witch is just across the road from the train station if you don't no where it is please give me a ring on 07873830365.
  3. That was fantastic, really impressive riding and great editting!
  4. I would suggest the use of a viz welded high rise stem in black which has a length of 160mm and an angle of 25°, I rode my freinds ko bikes long mod and really liked the feel of it. Having said that it really depends how tall you are and if you prefer alot a high stem or a low one. The echo team stem has 160mm reach with a 25° rise like the viz stem I suggested, or if you would like more length there is the atomz oversized stem which has 165mm length and 30° rise. Alternatively if your abit short you could choose the echo hifi stem which has a length of 145mm x 25°. It really depends what you prefer. I hope I have helped
  5. Impressive riding! I can't even hold my brakes in the cold kind of weather, never mind do trials! I usually don't go out, I think I need some gloves :$
  6. Hey, just thought I would write up abit of a review as I have recently changed frames from my saracen mad to a bt raven 5.0. Abit of background information: My names Jordan, I have ridden trials for around 6 months now and am enjoying it alot, I have a bmx and dj/dh background. I started so I could improve my brake contro, balance and all round bike control. I was also encouraged by my brother who used to ride a while back. I have bin looking to upgrade my frame for a while so I can progress further in the sport and never really got round to it, when my saracen mad frame snapped at the chain stays it was time to upgrade and find something that could help my riding more. I found a bt 5.0 frame secondhand and bought it. I hope my reviews are useful for you! Review of saracen mad frame: This is a very good starter frame, it is suprisingly light in weight aswell! It builds into a frame suited well for streety trials and bunny hops and manuals very well. I found the frame built up to be reasonably flicky and good for 24" style moves such as 180s etc. This made it ride well for demos (and also on the rocks), ask Jonny__mc, he loved it! I would advise any beginner to buy this frame as it rides well, looks the part, and even has a seat tube which some may find useful! Some problems I found were that: - The frame has tyre clearance issues even with a thin tyre and narrow rim! - The frame flexed alot at the back brake without a the use of a booster, and had less clearance than the bt has when using brand new pads. - Not as strong as I first thought. Review of bt raven 5.0 frame so far: First noticable change is that the bt raven feels much longer! It rides very nicely on the back wheel in comparison with the saracen mad. It doesn't feel as flicky, this could be down to the extra length, I am only 5ft 6"! The frame feels much stiffer than the mad, there is less flex in the back brake without the use of a booster but I would still advise the use of a booster with this frame. There is also more tyre clearance, and I have had no difficulties fitting my new pads in there. All moves feel better, my gaps have improved quickly, the extra bb clearance means I can roll up obstacles that I struggled with before. I am very pleased with the frame. Thanks for looking, hope I have helped!
