  1. I saw correction hops
  2. Coolest rider ever.
  3. Such a beast. Do love him on stock too though
  4. TNN's Spades are snap happy. Mine went in 12 weeks, as did Seddon's. They go right at the base of the steerer too which is scary as f**k!
  5. My Speedrace Fans when it was stripped. Loved this bike so much
  6. Same happened to mine, utter crap
  7. Haha, you could not be more wrong. The stress that Andrei puts through his bikes/parts is unreal - he breaks ALOT of parts
  8. Whatever, Andrei's been beasting a set since last summer and hasn't broken his. I'd be pretty comfortable in getting a set
  9. 5th http://www.uci.ch/templates/BUILTIN-NOFRAMES/Template3/layout.asp?MenuId=MTUxNzM&LangId=1
  10. I've always found Avid brakes to be really tempremental.
  11. You need to find out the lower angle on the bearing cartridge. They are normally either 36deg or 45deg - you need a race which matches this angle and not all headsets are the same. Many Cane Creeks are 36, while FSA (TH Industries bearings) tend to be 45deg. The angles are normally printed on the outside of the bearing. Get that info, and then any 1 1/8th crownrace with the matching angle will be fine
  12. Shot blasting uses metal filings and grit, this is super aggressive and leaves a really pitted finish on alloy. Bead blasting is the same process, but using little beads (similar to those you find in a BB gun) which doesn't leave such severe pitting I got my frame done at Blast n Bake in Bridgwater, its just down the road from work so was pretty convenient
  13. Mate, seriously don't get it shot blasted - it pits alloy badly. See if the place you're getting it done at do bead blasting, that's what mine was done with
  14. They wear out pretty fast
  15. Thought about getting it blasted? Soda blasting is the least aggressive and won't pitt the alloy at all, and a local place shouldn't charge you more that £20 for a frame and fork
  16. Exactly, whats the point of an obsticle which is simply not rideable and you have to dab it?
  17. You've never seen that before?!
  18. Think there were about 1080ish WB, 73 HA, the BB rise was supposed to be around +20, but most came in at around +10
