  1. Thanks dudes, are you all suggesting these pads cos they work with the ZHI rims? Because they really are soft. I ride alot, from 1-5hrs a day. The grind went flat in about one and a half weeks on my ZHI rims, the same grind and pads on an ONZA Ronnie/reggie lasted about a month and still were not flat when I put them on my broinlaws bike. Hmmm.......... Matt
  2. I have a 2.5 ft chain whip for this and it can still be a struggle. It took me and a mate about half an hour to remove a bloody ENO from a crank the other day. He is about 6ft and big and I do up/undo 2" andd bigger bolts on a regular basis (Thats 2" diameter to the numpties out there) It is amazing how tight these things get, I also had to take a viz freewheel off today and I had to literally jump on the spanner to undo it. Matt
  3. Cool This is the best thing, even if I have a wad of cash I love finding money in jeans that I didn't know was there. Out riding the other day my missus found a fiver like this and we had hot dogs from a van it was awesome. I found £1 in my shorts when I put them on today, I'm gonna get a hot dog. Edit: Right now. Matt
  4. Solid works is proper good especially the stress analysis bit. I wanna get the new AutoCAD stress analysis and CNC programming shit but can't invest until this f**king recession f**ks off. Matt
  5. My ZHI rims appear to be made of cheese and will not hold a grind with ONZA yellow citrus pads. I have plasmatic spannish flies on there now with a dead grind but they are a bit lacking in hold capability. Any suggestions for pads that will not flatten my grind in about 2 days? Matt
  6. It is definitely something that comes with age. I think it is more to do with that up until you get to 25 your basically thick as shit and can't see the possible bad outcomes so much. I know I was. Matt
  7. £600,000 tops and it would be really pucker for that about as good as the tits on the left. You could get away with alot less than that but to really get people to travel there it would have to be good shit. Matt
  8. Multimillion pound project my arse. But I do Agree with Simpson. I looked into doing a similar thing last year along very similar lines and wrote the idea off. I have another project ongoing which is very much scaled down and aimed at a slightly different target market to my original plan. Your Location doesn't appear to be the best for such a large project, the midlands, oop north or south west would be better. You may be only in the idea stage at the minute and so collecting comments is the way to go. Take no opinion as gospel as naysayers tend to be the first to pipe up when you are scoping out a market but their comments are equally valuable as enthusiastic ones, sometimes more so. Good luck in your venture and I hope it works out for you. Matt Matt
  9. Tits are great all of them. Matt
  10. Hope so, I can get a good look at it then. Matt
  11. Sounds good so far, thanks dudes. I had a shot on Daves ZHI the other day and it felt so much more natural on the back wheel than my ootdated geo bikes so i thought it might be time to drag myself into the present and get a frame with no seat and higher BB. How does the Limey compare to that? Personally I quite like the paint job, but not so much the graphics. As Cai said that doesn't really matter though. Matt
  12. I was looking at getting a monty kamel 231 but it seems you can't get it as frame only. Ze new ONZA Limey3 looks like very similar geo. Anyone got one or a picture of full build? What do people think of this new product from ONZA? Is it 135mm or 116mm? Thanks Matt
  13. I am 35, don't think age makes that much difference. The only difference I can think of is that many youngsters really don't know that you could not get trials specific stuff at one time or that many techniques they take for granted had not developed yet. Which is why they are all so f**king good. Matt
  14. Why not go the whole hog and buy a skins suit! Matt

    Shoes

    Must have been their tour in the nam.............. I use try all shoes they are great. Stiffish and grippy. Matt
  16. You really need to relax. Your falling sideways because you are stiffening up. The front wheel is diving because you are grabbing the brake too hard. Don't loose faith, everything you are describing is the normal process of learning back wheel shit. I was convinced I would never get it right. I practiced in my kitchen through a winter and it came good. It'll happen all of a sudden, you'll just be able to do it. Over a and over and over again........... Do it a thousand times and your body learns the necessary co-ordination. Do another thousand and achieve snap. Do another thousand and throw more body weight into the technique. Do another thousand until the action is explosive............. Just like kickboxing or any other physical skill. Matt
  17. And you need to tighten it into the frame............. Matt
  18. I am also in this situation....... Yes it should have. Well done, as you have quit, you will probably be able to do stuff like this for a very long time. I'm afraid you have it all wrong, it is purely a drug adiction. The reason why many smokers fall off the wagon when pissed/socialising is because they are addicted to nicotine. It's the "One wont hurt" syndrome that JD is experiencing. One will hurt because it keeps you addicted to nicotine. JD is probably going to rant but he is still addicted to nicotine. "I'm not addicted, I can take it or leave it." is a common phrase. Well if you can take it or leave it why bother taking it at all? Why not just leave it? Because they are addicted. It's f**k all to do with willpower either. It is physical, your body needs nicotine just to feel normal, just like non-smokers feel every day of their lives. Evil, pure evil. Matt
  19. I much prefer natural, but then I live in the countryside or Banjo land, whichever you prefer. Matt
  20. What happened to the girl with the tits? She was good, anyone remember her name? Matt
  21. I'm contemplating getting a Chris King ISO hub and I have a few questions: 1: Do regular shimano/sram cassettes fit. 2: What is "Bedding in"? and how do you go about it? 3: They cost an Effin fortune so I want to look after it, what sort of maintenance routine should I do? Thanks Dudes. Matt
  22. Anyone got anything relevant to the topic? Matt
  23. At 1am round kings cross she should get the money for a ticket pretty quickly Matt
  24. Go and start a I love smoking thread and stop f**king this one up. Matt
