Been meaning to go for ages, Hopefully I'll be able to get. Might need help gerrin there though!

You've obviously put a lot of hard work into this, and to help get it up and running maybe the idea of people volunteering to help set up/steward/clean up after?
(Its hardly going to be festival filthy, but some people just like to drop stuff.
)If possible maybe just turning up earlier/staying after a generally giving a hand?
Just an idea.

Sweet ride mate, Im loving the raw look
If you wanted a higher front end you could try getting the higher rise onza stem? I had same problem with well short steerer on mine.
-
Damn, that looks really nice with all the gold bits on! Glad to see its still going strong after 4+ years. Is that still the original powdercoat? Looks incredibly tidy still if it is.
There were actually 3 24's built, not sure if they are still with there original owners now or got passed on, but I am considering making a few more possibly, just need to get another job out the way first.
Thanks man, yep i've looked after her well
been thinking of getting it redone. But not had time or money at uni. If you do make some more, and to anyone wandering, rides like a dream. i just got some in the post myself today and i cant fault them either, they seem a little better on the front also, but the cables are much shorter so less friction and all that.
but well happy with them, i would def recomend them
Glad you pleased with pads mate, can't fault them for that price!
-
looks awesome
are those inspired pads your running on the back there?? and if so, what are they like? any good??
I also want to know this.
There actually off eBay, Bought 4 sets for 12quid
If you run smooth(clean!) rims you can't fault them. My front pair have never slipped. Rears close to spot on, think its my cable thats letting that down though! 
Hope that helps!

Were you too ashamed to put up photo's with the shit old tyres?
Haha Yes, very much so. The DDG stem is bad enough, but the apollo tyres would have killed my street cred. lol
-
Couple of extra pics up...
Got a new stem, just need to save for some oversized bars.
(and yes i need to take out the trash!
) -
Thanks for replies and comments
Yeah i's a one off frame that I luckily managed to grab off him.
Although, I've heard through the grapevine that due to 24"s getting popular he was thinking of making a few more?
Don't hold me to that
Glad no one mentioned the DDG stem!

I wondered if it could have been that as well,
But it seems I've got the opposite problem. It skips when peddaling, not while kicking?
Still baffling me...first dryish day in ages so I'm going go give it a ride see if I can suss anything out?

I struggled with sidehops, wasn't a fan. But be careful if you keep putting your foot down, cos it gets you into a bad habit? When you actually do go for it and your heads screaming stick your foot down you'll end up with your bash on your toes. It happens!
I found practice doing them smooth, start on two wheels, exagerate a preload, hop to back then exaggerate preload again/drop your front wheel slightly n go for it. preloading like a nutter helps you find how much room you have before your tyres up your arse
plus it should help when you go bigger?
