  1. That stem would give you 9mm less reach with 5mm less spacers=not ideal if you like front wheel moves. Anyways 15mm of stem stackers isn´t too bad especially if you don´t like cutting steerer down
  2. Hm for you that stem actually might work really well, with no stackers and bars tilted slightly more backwards the bars should be in the same height, just few mm more forward(according to this little helper http://alex.phred.org/stemchart/Default.aspx )
  3. I agree, 150x 32(because that´s what it apparently is) is pretty damn high for +45bb frame, especially for shorter riders. But what can you do other than buy a different brand? What kind of geo would you like? Just out of curiosity
  4. Envy, sooo many great rocks in england and even more street spots
  5. I believe Adam or Mark explained that before like this-Both mod and stock riders tend to ride 150mm stems these days, so there is no reason for try all to make a different one as it would make it less cost effective.
  6. No, you are doing it wrong. You better go to sleep.
  7. So did I, first try actually Look, I´m trying to help him like I´m always when someone asks serious question and I know the answer. If I don´t know the answer, I don´t reply, simple as that. Now I´m not saying you aren´t doing the same, just in some cases better advice can be given, that´s all. In this case, your advice wasn´t "wrong" just incomplete I would say. What´s the point of using rotor that fails like that when there are at least 2original replacements that could do the job better(mono trial or trial zone) and for cheaper as well???
  8. You really lack sense of humor then I feel bad for you.
  9. You would be gueassing very wrong. Also what makes you think your opinion doesn´t mean shit to him or anyone else??? You keep replying, so can everyone else, at least he isn´t vulgar like you are. He is right in what he states, big preload doesn´t mean higher sidehops, it´s all about the speed you can get out of it, for some people(mostly tall guys but there are exceptions of course) big preloads do more harm than good. Case in point http://vimeo.com/13686822 6:47 Lengyel isn´t preloading too much either. Yes and it´s fun, feel free to join us
  10. Do us all a favour and learn to read. Also, feel free to show me a thread with my wank advices, I´m looking forward to that. Good luck.
  11. Yes he is incredibly powerful for his age, sidehoping 9 to the bad side on mod is something you don´ t see very often
  12. It is hope mono trial brake with monty written on the reservoir cap, so he could use mono trial rotor? I never said they didn´t come with the rotors posted in the first post, but it´s pretty obvious they aren´t very good isn´t it? I´ve never seen rotor crack like that before in one place, this cracked in 6 ffs! So yes, original mono trial rotor could be used as it was designed to be used with this exact brake and has enough surface for pads.
  13. It´s a mono trial brake, so mono trial rotor is original http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/disc_brake_rotors/hope_mono_trial/c76p24.html.
  14. What makes you think my last post was directed at you Ben?
  15. Some people here need to read the whole conversation obviously...It might help.
  16. How can you see the progression when koxx days aren´t there anymore Tour de scay isn´t too bad, but it just isn´t what it used to be.
  17. Nice riding,shame about the weather though.
  18. Always loved atomz, always will.
  19. I´m not bitter, I just expect more from him
