Oooooooooooooooooo! How rude. Matt

this is the exact same problem I had with my Zoot. I know this sounds mad but I ended up with a 180mm mod stem on mine and I liked that best, but I don't ride street much. I found that the best stem for all round crap, was about 120mm stem with abot 17 degree rise with some riser bars. Matt

Pedal kicks for sure, things start opening up from there, not that I have got much further yet though Matt

good news man I ride with my two kids and it's great fun. don't listen to that G-baby, he's being a knob and yes I know your reading this Matt

Where abouts in Wales MarK? Matt

You are making sense Hannah, running a business isn't about just profit, though it is more about cashflow. Cashflow is paramount, without cashflow you have no business. By dropping the price by 20% and generating a few more customers you are taking a hit from profits, however you are generating cash flow. I can expand on this subject if you are interested, but cannot be bothered to type at the moment. Matt

I wear a lid as I hate the taste you get in yer mouth when you smash your head. Matt

Thats why I don't live there anymore. Matt

Even better go round now, and allow the red mist to descend........ A couple of dumb asses broke into my house when I lived in Swansea, I got home as they were filling the van up in the back lane. I said hello, and they shouted some kind of threat at me and drove off. I had a word with a few people, and they brought it all back and apologized and everything, it was f**king hilarious they even offered me a TV that wasn't mine I asked them if they wanted a cup of tea but they didn't stick around. Another guy round the corner got robbed while he was asleep on the sofa after watching a rugby game in the pub, some guys broke in tied him up in his conservatory, and stole everything, the the carpets the heating the lot. He was found a few days later a bit f**ked but still alive. Thats why I moved to the countryside, got fed up of that shit, the week after I moved out 5 cars in the street were burned out because the skag heads were to wapped up to steal them. Scum Matt I just remembered another one, some guys came in my house and pinched some phones, wallets etc. Called the pigs and they turned up took prints and left. A year later the cops phoned up and I thought they had found something, but they asked me if I had found out who it was yet, I f**kin pissed myself, it was a farce. Matt

Yes you heard the man, invade. Matt

Lighter bikes are easier to ride but you can go too far with it, and randomly drilling things is not the way to go with it. There are loads of other ways to make your bike lighter without corrupting the integrity and designed safety factor of their original manufacture, let alone risking smashing your teeth out or worse. Once you have done all the usual stuff then it may be time to look at drilling things, but personally I think drilling the steerer is going a bit far. You may as well start thinking about taking up pakour or whatever it's called. Trials on yer feet. You could always hold your hands out in front of you like your holding the bars and pretend to do pedal kicks and shit......... Sorry I can't go on I'm laughing to much. Matt

Good luck on that. On a lighter note, meanwhile on the Dan the scaming scumbag thread:- Matt

See violence may not be intelegent but it f**kin works. This girl is talking sense. See girls make sense sometimes. He probably won't be paying it much longer. Matt

Have you got auto cad? If so I can send you a picture I have just done calculating the positions of the holes relative to the axles. Matt

I think you would have great difficulty making this as the +20 is close to the limit. Having said that if you brought the mountinng holes for the disc part down a bit radially it would give you more chance. Matt

It's not an intelligent thing to say but niether is ripping people off and expecting to get away with it. Thats what you gamble on when you rip someone off. I would expect a kicking if I ripped someone off. Call the pigs then, I'm sure he'll be pleased with that. Matt

Same thing happened to my birds lever, the design is utter wank. Matt

Loctite actually make a product for fixing this very problem, but not on a bike but in pumps, slow running compressors, screw conveyors etc.. It's a really thick bearing fit goo. Matt

Don't think it should be shut. Matt

Ta very much Matt

These tires any good? Matt

Nice one Simpson. Matt

This last point is very important if you want a really good finnish. If you spray them in the cold you won't get good atomisation. If it is humid, the paint will get a fine spiders web patern in it. If you don't have enough ventilation you will die. A good tip is to run the can under warm water for about 15 secs (warm not hot) then shake it, the can will go cold again, run it under the tap again for 15 secs, then shake it. Reapeat until when you shake it the can remains warm. This will help the paint atomise better and go on go on smoother. Also one thing many people don't do is clear the nozzle now and again as your spraying. To do this turn the can upside down and spray away from the bike for a couple of seconds, now turn the can the right way round and spray away from the bike for 2 secs, continue spraying. Matt
