  1. f**k sake, I quit. I honestly sat here laughing through the whole of that video, purely because i couldn't believe half of it. Sexiest sidehop style i've ever seen. Bike control to the max. Absolute monster. True insperation.
  2. If you want anymore riders, I'd be willing to travel up there, seeing as it's for charity.
  3. Jubilee clip is the word your after I'm using one at the moment, works a beaut.
  4. Spray forks and front rim black. Frame colours mint and i like the stickers
  5. Derbys good, you just gotta' know where your going. Same for Nottingham. Birminghams mint.
  6. Did they just do it while you waited or did you have leave it there ?
  7. Hellfrauds won't do Hellicoiling. Even if i buy the kit, i havn't a clue how to Hellicoil lol.
  8. Hey, Just wondering, stripped the thread in my brake mounts, just wondering what kind of place would do such a job ? My sisters boyfriends a area manager fro Kwikfit, and i could get it done free there (if they do it im not sure) and he's not answering his phone to ask him, any idea if Kwikfit would have a hellicoiling system ? If not any reccomendations for the type of place i should try ? Thanks.
  9. 07 Zoo forks Magura version - Mine went through sevral top riders before me getting them, lasted me a good 8 months easy, took constant front wheel moves, there dead now but wouldn't hesitate to purchase more. 04 Zoo bars - Nothing even comes close. 04 Magura's - These things are a god send, if i couldn't get hold of these anymore, I don't think i'd be riding trials, because the new shape one's just don't work or crack in a few days worth of riding. Alex DX32 and Ronnie rims - These truly are the ultimate rims for brakeing performece, i havn't found a pad yet that doesn't work on a grind on these rims. Old Style Zoo pads - For a smooth rim, nothing comes close. Phat pads in cnc - The day i wen't to these pads for a grind, everything became so much easier to do with no worys of brake slipping. Hope pro II - Had to be my favourite out of the freehubs I used, never had any problem with mine in 12 months. 4 Year old ACS claws freewheel - Things a god send, slight modification when i brought it, havnt touched it since. Things still on my bike now going strong. Echo External BB's - These things really are bomb proof, I'm sure mines about 6th hand and the thing still feels super stiff, why these ever stopped being produced is beyond me. Shimano Sora rear mech - I swear down, this thing has never given me shit, i've landed on rails on it, twated it on walls and the thing is just bomb proof, couldn't ask for more perfect chain tension either. Thinks thats it for now.
  10. Need a date please ? If it's Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th i've got that off anyways.
  11. Couldn't of put it better myself.
  12. Gonna' make myself one of them tomorrow... How does it work ? Just bolt a jockey wheel to the end hole of the spanner, Put it on your axle and tighten your wheel....I can't understand how its tensioning the chain though ? Do you push down on the spanner till the chains the tension you want and them tighten the bolt up against the frame in your dropout ?
  13. I've had king hubs, I've had pro 2's, I've had tensile freewheels etc, and my ridings no better with one of them, than my 36EP ACS.
  14. Ohhh deffinatly i agree, but that slight modification has made mine last 4 years without touching it, just out of curiosity, why would you want more engagements that 36 ? In my opinion thats plenty...
  15. More relaible than an ACS ? Whats wrong with ACS ? Back in the day it's all we ever ran, for 2-3 years, I've still got mine now, love it.
  16. Hey looking at going into an apprenticeship in Engineering, just a basic course like, just wondering, are they all 4 day work and 1 day college, and pay the basic £80 pay a week or does it vary ? Just a little insight from someone who's done one/doing one please.
  17. They could do that like how they do it on Tony Hawks. For example, when holding a manual or grinding a rail, they have that little bar, with the line that moves side to side if your going to loose balance, so on the trials side of thing, you get on the rear wheel, and you tap x, fast or slow, depending on how many hops you wanna' do at what speed, then have the little bar for balance and the stall before you take off for the sidehop that you control with the left analog stick, hold square for the pre-load, go as low as you wish, then repeatedly tap square to determine how high you wanna go and as your going up up, hold R1 for example, to go into tuck position (the heigh you can go on will depend on the riders stats, once again like on tony hawks), then when landing, the little bar comes up again, for you to keep your balance on top of the wall, for if your going to stay on or on/off. Would be damn hard controls and take alot of getting used to and would be hard as for the game designers, but if they pulled it off, would be shit hot.
