  1. HOLY f**kING SHIT! This I can see is going to be a proper vid, everyone else's was good... but you obviously know how to edit well and got some proper sweet angles... this vid is going to be the dogs dangly's! Pleeeeeeeeease don't take too long with it! And what was the song? As for the riding... again.... HOLY f**kING SHIT!

  2. Pads: Cousts

    Time used: About 2 weeks

    Rim used: Ronnie

    Grind: Yes

    Ceraminc: No

    Brake used: Magura

    What is your opinion of a working brake: Something that locks on and holds perfectly. Although i like a little bit of modulation.

    How do they compare to previous pads you have used: Extremely good

    Review: Never thought I'd use anything other than CRM's, but thought I'd give Coust's a blast. Got them and rode for about 5 minutes and they had an immense sound and were about as good as my Plazzies. Nowaday's it's perfect always there when you need it! Best pad's I've had!

  3. I tell you what Mark. How about we have a little wager. I've only just heard about this deal. It could of been in the works for a while.

    £50 says hes riding something with mongoose on it at the bike show Mark?

    No need to get like that... he were just pointing out that there may not have been enough time to get a frame sorted in 2 weeks!

  4. Well, unless they can knock up a proto bike in two weeks, I'm guessing it'll be a de-stickered standard production frame from another company?

    That is assuming this isn't a load of crap...

    Just what I were about to say... Let's hope they make decent frames unlike Diamondback and that :sleeping:

  5. And here is what it looks like at the moment

    That's looking nice mate! Gonna look mint! Had mine resprayed, got my alloys on, I'd put pics up but I'm putting (VERY MILD) sideskirt's on Monday and mabye lower it and put my exhuast on, all depends on how time goes. I'll get pics then :sleeping:

  6. Get one now Picki! That way you can practice in your own time aswell, helps you learn alot quicker. Plus you can go out and practice on the few week build up to your test so you have more chance of passing.

  7. Hey,

    Are Winstanleys BMX Shop unreliable? I ordered a Lever and Tyre on Saturday, so should have been posted off Monday and I STILL haven't recieved it. Just though it would have been here by now :lol: Just want to know wether it's worth e.mailing them or if they're usually like this...

    Cheers

  8. My car Has a 4-2-1, 2 inch Tubular Exhaust manifold, 2 inch stright through Exhaust system, and a 3 inch chrome tail pipe.

    That's all well and good, but it's not always best to have a straight through system if you want performance from the exhaust. A proper, good company won't necessarily make it straight through for performance, there are much better ways. Don't ask me all the ins and outs of it, because that's about all i know lol.

  9. Thanks alot Bongo... ordered it just now :P Lets see how it goes, also ordered a Dirty Harry Lever last night and a new tyre. Might get upto some riding on it now, seeing as everyone's about quit riding and Tez is going on holiday :( Ahwell, mabye the summer will bring rider's :)

  10. Hey,

    Can I pick up a decentish rear wheel (chromed as I'm told that's best for braking) for £50?

    Also what lever do you suggest? I have a Diatech Gold Finger, but surely a longer lever blade will be better?

    What brake pads? My brakes shockingly shit since I got rid of my Odyssey Hazard Lite rim :P

    And finally, where's the best shop's to get this stuff from? Online please :)

    Thanks in advance!

    EDIT:

    BONGORear brake :

    Dirty harry lever, as above.

    Odyssey evolver brake, as above.

    Dragonfly gemini top cable. Sprayed with wd40 and worked in as much as possible.

    Twin lower cables, both odyssey slic cables. Lubed as with the front brake.

    Chrome rims cleaned with muc off and never touched with anthing except the brake pads, which are all plaz flies.

    Ooops, you seem to have answered it there. But what shop's do you suggest? And which wheel can i pick up for £50 that will be decentish?

  11. I know there's alot of topics about this lately but I'm considering messing about on the bmx again. I'm not really sure what components are good so thought I'd ask you guys.

    1) What wheel? I had an Odyssey Hazard Lite rim and stupidly got rid of it, put another rim on and my brake was instantly shit :P So what would you suggest? No more than £50 if possible... I were looking at this? Preferably black please, but I'm open to options.

    2) Brake pads? What do you suggest?

    And finally. Levers. I've got a Diatech Gold Finger, but as it's so short just wondered if a longer lever's gonna improve my brake? It's SHOCKINGLY shit at the moment!

    Cheers in advance :P
