  1. Update: I thought I would post some pics of it looking all nice and brakeless before I ruin it by putting the brakes back on for a while.
  2. I have tried both. High roller was my favourite out of the 2.
  3. The secret file is probably full of porn.
  4. I use my LBS maintenance-wise for things like pressing in headsets, back wheel builds for my trials bike and the occasion things I don't have tools for like disc mount facing or BB I don't have the tool for. Unlike other bike shops I have been too, my regular one is very, very good. I would trust them to carry out any task on my bike. And having been going there for years now and becoming friends with them, they always give me a good price ( or no charge on small things ) on work needing done. I usually get a tiny bit off RRP aswell which is cool
  5. Having not ridden the new zoot myself, I can't say whether it rides well or not. But I have heard good things about them. If it was me choosing between them, I think it would come down to budget. If my budget was low... I would go for the zoot. If I had the money to spend I would spend the extra on the inspired which Is a better quality frame and is built with better quality components.
  6. Milkshakes, bananas, chocolate bars and cake I find give me more sustained energy. All the energy drinks I find only give a short burst of energy and then it's all gone.
  7. Have you checked that it isn't something silly like the top cap bolts being abit loose? The hole is a breather hole for the diaphram so that it can move up and down with the fluid level in the reservoir and keep the fluid sealed. Like said, a new diaphram and bleed should do the trick.

    Blu-Ray

    It was written and directed by Chris Nolan though, Who is english. English brains + Hollywood budget = win?

    Blu-Ray

    The dark knight. Some of it was shot in IMAX aswell which looks fantastic on blu-ray. Great film aswell which is a bonus.
  10. I had to cut abit off all the side nobbles off to get a tyre to fit in my frame just 2 days ago. What I did was use some old cable cutting pliers. It did make it abit untidy looking but it was very quick.
  11. I think the only difference is the name on the box.

    Brake Pad

    Stick them in the oven, Then turn the oven on to about 200 degrees and by the time it gets up to temperature, the bond should be broken and the pad should peel out with not too much difficulty. If not... stick them back in the oven for a minuite.
  13. Out of all the gloves I have tried... My favourite by far are Troy Lee Designs XC glove. Very confortable, quite thin so they don't feel as bulky as others I have tried and so far they have lasted about 6 months longer than the others aswell. And they are still going strong.
  14. I sprayed a rim once and it rook the paint off the braking surface quite quickly leaving it patchy, so I ended up sanding off the rest. Also with paint on the braking surface, the bite and hold wasn't quite as good. But not by too much.

    Hydroxx Stock

    Nice. That frame looks good raw.
  16. Yes they will. Grind up!

    Echo Tr

    My bro has the TR wheel on his blade with the same drop outs and yeh with out the snail cams it does fit. One problem we faced though is that because the TR hub body is quite wide you might find that the chain or sprocket will hit the drop outs. We solved this by using the Echo TR sprocket which has the teeth in the middle and the sprocket and it now clears nicley with a 18:12 gear ratio.
  18. On my 24" bike, I have heatsink yellows on a dead grind which is good for manuals. The hold isn't as good as it is on my stock (which has the same pads but with a grind) but it still is deffinately usable. I only lose abit of trust in it when it gets wet. I mean it still works pretty good in the wet but I wouldn't push it.
  19. I use prism and I converted an hour and a half film in just under 10 mins.
  20. You could try wrapping abit of insulation tape around your slave cylinders so the clamps have abit more to clamp too. I would suggest trying this before you start removing material from anything.
  21. For me, when it come to dunking biscuits, It's all about the chocloate hobnobs.
  22. Abit too much blue for my liking. Still... Nice bike!
  23. If you haven't already found it. http://www.thecaelifera.com/
  24. I typed kieren into the search and came up with this. http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/user/15305-kieranzsclothing/ Is that who you're after?
