to many lol but its all good all part of getting better and progressing

im not sure but ill et u know soon cos i just ordered some cnc backing and a new set of plazies lol

plazies with a light grind on rear allways i just been out riding natural down the seafront near me and dropped into a rockpool soaking my rear rim and the pads still held and gave the reasuring squeek that everyone loves

other problem with vees or cable operated brakes which no one has yet said about cables always stretch so u will be adjusting leaver pull all the time and what happens when that trusty stel cable that u depend on soo much snaps when u need it most i have snapped front cables before and the end results not good lol i would go hydro all the time its harder to pop a hydro than it is to snap a cable and most hydro brakes will run for years without bleeding unlike vees where u will be replacing cables more than changing ur socks

THE LOCAL SPOT as u can see some small stuff and some real nice down gaps

na there not lol summit like 6lb new lol built like tanks

24 holes in the top tobe and a large amount removed from the head tube unused tabs and cable mounts grinded off rear of the chainstay yoke drilled out top of frame where the onza porkypine logo was grided out

whats with all the grief the lad just wants to know where he can get some tar and yeh the topic may have been up on previos threads but so what there was a time when no one knew where to get tar from so stop with all the shitty replys and help the lad out you can get tar from most trade diy stores if u ask for bitumin or roofing tar or if you live near the coast most local authorities use it on piers and man made sea defenses to protect bolts and fixings

any guys up for it i know the lads i rode yarm with last week are up for t just wondering if theres anyone else in the north east up for it as long as the weather stays half decent it will be a good day theres riding for all levals and abilitys

na lol kinda got bored and went at it with a hilti drill lol im in the market for a sub 4lb frame now just waiting on the new onzalimey 1.6 being released it comes in at around 3.7lb

saved around 350 -400 grames bought half a pound

25 had 2 years riding from 04-06 then stopped cos of work and old people stuff lol starting again now totally enjoying it and am well impressed with all the youger riders now all got mad skills

forks are only temp getting some dob mag forks and the forks are ugly as out but there reliable and strong as

been running the frame like that for 4 month dong 7-10 ft gaps 8- 12ft drops front touches hook ups 40"+ side ups and not a mark or any sign of weakening of the frame

i would have to say maggie due to the fact of reliable performance and u know it will hold (if set up properly) as for pads its all down to what u want from them performance or to last as its very hard to get both i pesonly will go performance every time i would be happier knowing my brake is gonna hold when i need it to rather than worry abought it slipping

the spec is t-rex frame drilled, fsa stem , onza carbon bars , tensile uci cranks , 17/14 gearing onza front wheel magura louise front disc hs33 rear eco rear rim and gu freehub onza samart guy forks trialtech pedals
