  1. I just fooked up a bunnyhop gap, and kinda landed hard, and my bottom headset cup has moved in the headtube!? It's like 1mm clear of the frame at the rear, and the headsets gone really tight. Has anybody else done this, and the frame was ok? I have a feeling its flared it. Ashton Edd Tongue frame, Pig Pr (sealed) Headset.
  2. Could be done I'd have thought. www.leesonbikes.co.uk, all you need to know on there, He'l sort you out I'd expect.
  3. Bloody great hill, go fast, drag brake, then splash water on it? Sorry, it might be a complete no no, I've never even owned a Disk. (Y)
  4. Will be fine. Grind the bash off if you have to.
  5. I tried 'em with cooking choco once and they were rank! can't u just use normal chocolate?
  6. Hehe, I second that. A friend of mines had one on the rear of a mad for ages though.

    Rear Tyre

    This is for 26" though. I have to say, I got my 24" 2.5" Maxxis High Roller ST yesterday, fitted it on today, and I don't like the way it rides! The tyres a fair bit heavier than my old Halo, its very 'High' so it rubs on my brake cross over cable bit :-, its got more rolling resistance than a square, and it makes my bike feel dead :ermm: ok, im a fag, but I don't like it. Better give it a proper chance, I suppose.
  8. There is one called 'floaty' somewhere.
  9. Your right mate (Y) He's put a lighter front tyre on, should be buying some pashley, I'll try my bar and stem on it, see what difference it makes (singlewalls/105 X 10stem) Yea, Maxxis tyres look well nice, I just got a 24" 2.5 highroller, look swish :). I'l get him to ditch the DH toob! Converted it to SS yesterday, took mech/shifter/cassette/cables off, he needs a new chain, and a simple tensioner to up tension it. Might try and get him to swap his wheel for a 521 and run a rim brake.
  10. Take pictures/videos, it helps suprisingly. A friend of mine took a pic of me backwheeling pallets, and its nice to see how your doing/what your doing wrong (Y) I managed 5 blue pallets which pleased me :D
  11. Hmm I'd run 521's if they made them in 24". I use an aircorp, ok I spose, dented it once or twice, they knock out well though. Get a 521 spray it black and put poncy stickers on it (Y)
  12. That was class, he got everthing so muddled! Mines fairly obvious, I like Only Folols and Horses (N)
  13. I done 6'8 to a curb, outside my house from a patch of concerete, everytime really. Doubt it could do it on a 'proper gap' though.
  14. Yea, I'm gonna get him some Pashley forks, light front tyre (whats good for that, Hot S?) Try and get him to swap his rear Koxx for a 521 and get a rim brake!
  15. A mate of mine has a MAD, in short its a pig. What setups did you guys run who have/had them? His is: Mad Frame (older not new nice ones :-) Pig. Kona P2's Short (70maybe) stem Ok actually. Some random bars, risers. 521 on Deore. Very Beefy WTB 2.4" tyres F&R Koxx Rim/XC rear wheel, DH Tube. Hope Rear Disk :closedeyes: Mono M4 i think! Front V, SD5 setup. Burns, V8's, Deore cassette/mech/shifter. I'll get a pic up. What would you put on it? cheers rich.
  16. Replacement lever seals are available now, so isn't that half the problems gone!?
  17. HAHA HAHA! I was half asleep and I saw something in it and something like that stirred in my mind. Yea, I dunno what it was though heh.
  18. It sounds pretty dead to be honest, over 2" of crack is rather large! Welding it may work, for a while, probably worth a shot.
  19. We better have LOTS tommorrow, We DON'T have the day off sckool heh.
  20. We've not had the slightest mention of it, I'm not that far away, about 90miles to you, but nothing :closedeyes: Would be good if we got 4ft tommorrow morning :-
  21. Could be 'cos they don't actually grip anything :closedeyes: I need new pads now, Mine came loose today and was rubbing on the tyre bead, now its almost dead:( Heatsinnkkkkk....
  22. I'll have one :- look rather cool :) I'l wear it to school to be rude... I'll get the money off in a day or so.
  23. Mine have so much bite, increadably grabby, to much so infact! Never (honestly) slipped when it was dry! ANY moisture and there gone! Plaz CRV's Atomlab Aircorp black anodised rim.
  24. Erm, I've had my Plaz Crv since, err October, the end, there about half worn, they wore well fast then slowed down! I'd expect them to last another 5/6 months! so thats one I suppose. I'll be buying Heatsinks. Never using a grind!

    Help!

    Flush It through with gallons of water, I done mine in the bath with a shower head thingy. I'm sure someone will moan at me, but clean all the lever internals with WD40, lube it up good and proper! Then bleed it nicely. All from a V guy hehe! You'll need a syringe and some tubing, and a Magura Barb connector from CRC for about a pound!
