    did the old ones have built in booster plate bits? looks like a 07 mate
  4. i have coust pads and have found them to work best on smooth than a grind, the noise is abit much though but i find them better than my mate tnn pad he has on his grind even though its oki
  5. look pretty good like mid air shots that are clear sweet yea
  6. if your chains going round when your not pedaling you have front free wheel (ffw) free hub has a rachet mechanisam like a rachet you'd put a socket on and un do a nut with, where you can tighten the stroke back and tighten again, or loosen, this is the same as pedal kicking, allows you to kick forward then back stoke from the gap the ratchet allows it to go back with your feet, a ffw is the same but its on your cranks, when using a rear free hub which you dont have, you need a front fixed sprocket, look on tartybikes, look at a free hub 135mm width axle or 116 neither matter, by the way if you are riding a mod your rear axle spacing will be 116mm anyway yerr when you look at a fixed hub it will be the hub shell level from flange to flange, a freehub needs room for the mechanisam thats why when you look at a pro2 or chris king hub the side which the sprocket is there is a rise on the side of the sprocket in between the flanges for your spokes, a freehub you can spin and hold the sprocket and it'll click, a fixed hub wont it because the sprocket is fixed to the hub and is designed not to move
  7. that was pretty good mate, pretty good
  8. you seem better on a stock than a mod, but keep you mod at hand as you'll find it easier to ride after riding a stock for while
  9. yea once you learn that you can use it for hooks and up to fronts
  10. ace for 2 months sam soo much improvement better come out some time buddy
  11. yup and if i used a gayer chain or half link or two i could of gotton it with 1065 soo the brakes were still on the rim that is mind
  12. i tend to feel smoother on a bike with dual disc, even my mates say i look smoother, i dont like rear disc though, it just feels wrong to me and i dont think they work very good on the rear when you gap you can feel the bite, its more "torquey" if you let the wheel spin and pull the break in the air it throws you differantly, were as a magura just makes a noise and you dont feel it as mush because of the forse being on the rim and not at the hub. rear maggie is lighter and cheaper depending which disc it'd be againts
  13. nothing, mine was 1050 and it want even right back of the chain stays, had some almighty steel alp forks though. god i miss that bike

    Shoes

    am always wearing vans slip on's dont know why though because i dont really know anyone else who wears them or says there good
  15. looked beast ride even though it was wet boyys, do you actually like that short frame jonny, i found mine well just eww the back pain, then agin you've only rode it like twice aint you lol top notch on the snail cam like
  16. oyeh no doubt about it but would people be that much happyier if he said to you hes going to be 2 weeks sending out your parts imean yeh at least you know when about to expect it but most the time its just pads ordered and they can just be put through your door unlike a parcel, just saying if you order its a bonus if it comes within the week you order it which it should and as Guantanamo said it does say on the site 1-2 days delivery which has no purpose of being there. ino that if i order something from HSB it wont come soon as but if you want a part just get it off tartybikes simple, good things come to those who wait though
  17. i'd say the rims are stong for the weight of them, my mate always shouts I WILL NOT BEND every time he does a drop gap with his rear sl rim on his stock, int dented yet or flat spotted and its like 3 months old, pend on how smooth you think you are and your weight but at the end of the day you just got too try stuff out
  18. god it still comes i wanted some pads when i was getting a new frame i just used some other pads till the heatsinks came, big deal takes two odd weeks maybe more longest i've had to wait is more than 3 weeks but am happy with them, its like if you were going to buy a car and it was on a waiting list, you know your getting it you just gotta wait till its made. ino what your saying though its not really that hard to pack up a thew sets of pads a day and send them out
  19. the pig goes moo, the dog goes quack, the gaz says hmmm
  20. kwl as but you all watchin out for swine flu or sumet?
