ive managed to contact the guy who painted my other bike. thanks anyway

no, wouldnt do it myself cos i want it to be perfect and by using a rattle can it wouldnt giv the correct finish. Cheers for advice though about stickers mate

I'm wanting my adamant a1 frame painting pearl white does anyone know of anyone who does such a thing near chesterfield/sheffield? i'm willing to travel within reason but it must be a good job I had my spooky painted by a guy who owns a bike shop in dronfield but he's shut down since, but if anyone has his contact details if he's still painting. And also where would i get replacement stickers in black for my frame?? and how much is a good paint job these days? cheers

I've still got my spooky. i love it to bits. Its upstairs and in mint condition cos i quit dirt not long after i bought loads of new bits and had it painted. Can anyone remember chainspotting, tricks and stunts, mud cows, mbr vids, etc?? I had a zaskar with maguras back in the day. And if u could stall a rail , u were the king. ha. oh how things have changed

sorry should have said thats its a brand new brake, never been used.

how can i stop my lever pulling back so far on my avid juicy 5 front brake?It works really well but the lever pulls back loads and i prefer it to move loads less. On my other xc bike i have juicy 7 ultimates and these are adjusted with a small allen key on the lever but the juicy 5 doesnt have this feature.

ok so its roof tar that is used.

i did a search on tar with no results for some reason. where do i get tar from thats suitable for applying to rear rim? how do i apply? cheers

can i use the rotor currently fitted? its a 185 avid

Currently got a bikehut hydraulic disc brake on a avid rotor and it doesnt work too well. Would a avid juicy 5 with a 165 rotor work any better as someone i kinda know has one for sale. cheers

thanks for reply's guys. Didnt realise that there were any people that are my age still doing it. Its funny now though cos now i'm older i assess things for longer and dont seem to fall off as much. When i were younger i'd go in all guns blazing. Yeh i hate the comments about where's ur seat gone. Does my head in.

I've been away from the whole trials/street riding scene now for about 5 years on and off. Having just recently bought a adamant a1 i've been going out a few nights aweek and i'm getting to be of a good standard again but one thing that is very apparent is that i feel a bit silly when people are watching and also i.m kinda sick of young youths thinking that cos i'm on my own they can attempt to take my bike off me. Dont get me wrong, i dont think that any gang will manage to do anything against me but when i used to ride years ago it were a much nicer atmosphere on the streets. And now cos i'm alittle older i dont like people watching what i'm doing. Any of the older guys gone through this? Shall i just carry on regardless or maybe realise that at 23 i should sell the bike and be boring.

just got a couple of questions mate. I'v e sorted it to come tomorrow evening and have the cash waiting but just need to ask a couple of questions. shall i call tomorrow like we said? cheers
