  1. oh my god you guys really do make me piss some times ! TIP : the best way to stop this happening in the first place is to use a crank bolt and torque wrench to get the cranks on nice and tight then once there on the square taper as far as they will go replace the bolt if u wish back to ur 8mm allenkey bolt . I AM USING THE MUSCLEMAN CRANKS and never had a problem in two years of smashing the balls out of the same set on 2 different bikes .
  2. with you rhino ! do people just not bother to read before they post anymore or is it that they cant read ? and yeah im pretty sure those frames are anodised !

    just to add the pinnacle bikes are evans cycles own brand they are nothing to do with ironhorse , the jump frame eg. pinnacle trojan as far as i know was helped by charge ! the guys that design the pinnacle bikes are all good guys and have had many years experience working for companys like trek , even though pinnacle are only in there 3rd year they are a very nice bike and good value for money i have tested alot of there 1st gen bikes and was very surprised by the quality of them then so i know they would of only improved aswell . here is what i would be looking at http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/product/o...x?&id=10073 or if you can scrape 80 quid more together http://www.leisurelakesbikes.com/product/o...px?&id=9701
  6. if it was my choice and it was my first bike i would go secondhand , due to the nature of the sport the bike will get a large amount of scratches and bangs and there is nothing more heart breaking than spending a lot of your hard earned money on a new bike that you damage in 5 minutes learning to ride it . upgrades can always be added in the future eg.new brakes,wheels etc then when your ready change the frame.
  7. like connor said get yourself an extractor kit from a local D.I.Y. store mine only cost me a fiver and it has prob saved me well over 100 quid !
  8. well i love it joe ! and to anyone who slates onza your just a bunch of sheep following a deng shephard ! i have ridden alot of onza bikes and have loved them all as im sure alot of people would agree ! to top it off they are always helpful and easy to deal with . considering the cost of producing these pro series frames eg. design,geo,prototype tests they have to win hands down on there RRP.! even though they may not meet everyones taste !

  9. first video put together for stuntman-t , lost a little bit of quality on the compression but its the first video i have made so comments welcome on both stuntman-t's riding and my edit ! good or bad ! vimeo link
  10. do your pistons on your caliper return ? have you got a leak anywhere ? if your pistons return ok and you have no leak you will be best to strip down your lever and check the internals for help you can use hope direct http://www.hopegb.com/voir_mini06.html
