  1. I shouldn't laugh at this but I just can't help it!
  2. I'm 5'11" and I can comfortably ride either, however I would really recommend getting a long stock (26") as it will probably be more comfortable.
  3. What tool are you using (link). I had this problem with the fsa BB that came in my last frame, You can some times use one of the old style square taper tools with the hole in them as the axle should fit through. Go to your local shop and see if they have a tool that will work.
  4. Dude I would do about 1 stone when 'forcing' one out.
  5. Run an adaptor. Halfords sell 'em for a few pounds.
  6. +1 For local riders it has to be Grant Peters though, he is too smooth (but he rides street now)
  7. What about bmx style micro-adjusts or integrated seat/post?
  8. Am I the only one that finds a set of pads that works and sticks to them. I thought everyone was in love with phat pads?
  9. Most freewheels are 3/32. It will fit fine. The problem is doing it the other way around!
  10. I want to ride as a celebration of the end of my school career. I am thinking, London, Southend or somewhere relatively near. It needs to be a big ride and possibly continue to the friday. What do you think?
  11. Are you joking? Brakeless backhops are easy a bmxer friend of mine can do as many as I can with the brake (though with less finess). In fact I got a brakeless up to back the other day, but then tried it again and ended up in a manual (no third try). I say go for it, I wanted to try this for a while.
  12. I have the same problem. I found the only support I could wear without it interfering with my grip was a tennis support from boots, which helped a bit but not much. In the end I just maned up and realised that I would either have to give up cycling or f*ck my wrists, guess which I chose.
  13. The echo hubs need you to use the cams that came with them as they keep the hub together. The best thing to do is to take some 14mm chain tugs and to fit them instead of the cames. Maybe with a spacer to thicken them up a bit.
  14. I vote for the invocation of genocidal revenge amongst moderators. Kill the f*ckers that refuse to follow the rules!
  15. Those bikes ar f*cking lovely for street and park. But if you are trying to learn good balance a longer bike may help, then again I started on something very similar.
  16. £6.99 and the best chain that I have ever used. KMC are good but a bit pricey in comparison.
  17. Run a modified headlock? Much better if you are doing whips!

    Spokes.

    Not a chance with a 7mm erd difference, just get new spokes.
  19. Why not just run it through the steerer? Also for those of you that do a get a linear cable get the gusset one, it's a bit pricey but it is well worth it, it is by far the stiffest outer I have ever used, much more so than the oddysey one!
  20. Not condoning it, but do you just report everything these days in the hope that the moderators will re-validate you?
  21. That is terrible for the the price. The seat will not help you at all in trials, in fact it is more likely to get in the way and for that price you could get the new onza RIP. Come to London on saturday and try some other peoples bikes before buying one for yourself. Then I recomend buying something from the foresale section on here.
  22. Depends on what size rotor is meant for, rear mounts are -20mm so if you had a 180 on front, the caliper would use a 160 on the rear.
  23. Does any one have a single snailcam that they can bring so I can see if they fit my new frame?
  24. Thanks, I didn't know that, I thought that they were the stiffest thing in the world! (I hope that that wasn't too sarcastic )
