  1. If your on a budget then look at the superstar wheelset's. The bearings are fairly poo, but for the money its worth wacking some decent ones in there. See here If your looking for good value wheels but with a touch more class, just get some pro2's on halo freedom disc's or equivalent. Superstar still do some good chain devices that dont require a mount see here. Have a look through all their guides, as all of them should fit with an adapter.

    I have one on my MTB. If I put it anywhere near my trials bike it will explode....
  3. Aim for about 30% sag front and rear in full riding kit. Many people I Know run the rear's too soft meaning they "wallow" into compressions and corners giving a very unpredictable ride. Your in a good situation running air forks and shock, as adjusting this is easy with a shock pump. Are you running duel air, or just air sprung sektors? Rebound wise, its very much personal opinion. I don't like too much rebound damping, so i get the most bump absorption out of the fork (too much will result in the fork / rear end, skipping over bumps, and a sluggish feeling bike) Yet too little damping will result in a pogo stick effect. Its a fine line but one you will have to generally find yourself. Start in the middle of adjustment and work from there. Also: Too much rebound damping on the rear will also cause the bike to wallow or bog down in corners. Where as you would idealy want the bike to compress if needed, but mainly stay pert through the turn. Hope that helps
  4. This is true ^ However to my knowledge the best traction/ grip level is the way you are running it.
  5. To my knowledge your running it the right way. Although, a 60a rear would reduce drag. 2.2 Rubber Queens > High Rollers any day though
  6. Your rate of improvement disgusts me! Keep it up dude!
  7. Got with said lass the other night fair bit. Don't know if its a good thing or not?
  8. I have no issues with it if a certain female wishes to be all over me of a night time. Just not every other bloke in the club at the same time. Meh, plenty more fish and all that...
  9. Regret f**king up my relationship and as a result turning all of my college friends against me, turning my girlfiend crazy, and just f**king everything up in general. Also regret drinking wayyyyy too much in the past month.
  10. What Ali said. The new XT trail is an amazing brake!!
  11. It must be hard for Rossi and Edwards to come to grip with this. From the footage and taking into account speed, a collision was always going to happen. Joe, as a mate, cummon. No blame for the Doctor!? RIP Marco
  12. Seat wise, I love my Charge Spoon (click). Its cheep, light, and comfy. How you liking a high front end? Plus that stem is B-E-A-UTIFULL!
  13. Fairly sure they'd be sektor's or revelations?
  14. That frame is glorious! But there is something about the setup that just doenst look right. Please get rid of that seat!
  15. I was a proper fanny to my missus (of 3 years) without thinking a few months back. When she found out it was obviously bad between us. We have no decided to just be friends which is cool, and we are getting on well. But its really f**ked me up, knowing that she's just not there, and I feel quite alone. FML
  16. Superstar components. Check them regarding spacer. And I'll be very very surprised if that where to crack with a 183mm on the rear.
  17. Sometimes I wonder why this forum even has a pad review thread... My vote, heatsink yellows. Faultless for me, but not for everyone.
  18. Yea dude, running cheepo Rubber Queens with schwalbe bmx tubes knifed open with stan's solution in. I did rip the side wall in my rear when up in Wales, but it sealed again fine. Much lighter than my duel ply high rollers before, and therefore it just wins. Only use schwalble tubes though, with the threaded valves. Its worth the investment.
  19. Damn. Rainbird's phone goes to answerphone, and i dont have Joe's number, he said he was out. Dont spose you could pm me it Rich?
  20. Try ghetto tubeless. Its cheeper, and has worked for me.
