Nice lil video there, liking the giant, and that little spot with the wall and the post in th middle of it up top ....... Listen i'm going to be working away in Donny for up to a month, maybe longer, and i'm going to be bringing my bike up with me, once i'm up there and know where abouts the hotel is that i'll be staying in, i don't suppose you guys would mind if i gave you a shout and came for a peddle? i don't know of any of the spots, and would love tour guides, but more importantly some company while riding, pm me back and let me know, cheers guys

Whooop whoop lads, looking lik we might be able to hold little comps of our own soon I have also said to some of you that i'm considering starting Moto Trials next year some time havent i?

Awesome, those BB guides are ancient haha, i'll go see what i can get hold of now, oddly enough the current BB in it right now is an 68 x 118 and it was running fine with plenty of clearance, only noticable thing was the non side drive shell was in too far by like 5mm

Afternoon gorgeous people Need a quick answer here, i've searched all topics and forums on here and there's like no answer at all, i need a new square taper bb for my Ashton Justice MK2, snapped my axle doing a drop gap in London heehee, so need to know BB shell size and best axle length for the beaut to run my burns and a 20t chainring. Many thanks my loves, Craig F x

Hey Danny Me, Joe, Vince and Sam are coming in the afternoon, either me or Joe will text you when we're there to see where everyone is, should be a good ride Hope the car's as nice as it sounds dude, see you soon ....

Haaha let Ashton battle commence, Seriously though, the Justice MK2s popping up lately are lovely, makes me happy to own one knowing that theres still a few really nice ones out there, i was considering white rims, but it will make it lose it's stealth affect lol, would look good though with my gunsmoke hope stuff, looking to get gunsmoke hope headset, gunsmoke pro2 front hub, and i have already aquired a gunsmoke hope head doctor to match my stem and rear pro2, im hoping i can find a way to get hold of a gunsmoke front hope monotrial, they made them and put them on monty kamels, branded with monty logos, anyone know how i could get one??? my mate has them on his kamel and i look at it all the time drooling and making mmmmmmm sounds ahhhahahah!

Still love it considering i hate red

BUMP! just want more people to look haha

Aww, your's will be fine as soon as you have sorted it im sure mate, im sorry for my pointless comment before on your pics, alanczik you're ashton looks nice dude, almost as nice as mine .............

+1 haha, i wan't to see if its up to scratch against mine and paige's

Riiiiicky, finaly on the forum ay!! Good to have you riding again buddy, that Echo you got is nice dude, here! a validation vote just for you, well i think it's a validation vote lol, i clicked the green + button on your post because i cannot see submit validation vote anywhere, your post is well presented so just as Joe O' Connor said, don't see why you won't be validated in no time Erm as for the HiFi geo, i'm pretty sure i saw something on here about that, but im sure one of the lovely members on here will help you out. Ride soon, once i get my mount sorted, should be done tommorow evening.

It's an Ashton 20" , that's it's let down lol

Cheers for the comment on my Ashton fella Just havin a little nosey at yours, yet another clean sweet Ashton, im not keen on the red ones though lol, hence me deciding to eliminate all traces of red from mine, but yours is a gorgeous looking bike, nice work p.s mine used to be a red frame, but ssshhh! it's a secret between you and me haha

Cheers dude, Ashton itself as a whole bike i bought for £300 off a friend, then i put my white Trialtech bars on, then bought the Hope stem for £60, new rear tyre, white rim tapes, paint for seat, and echo axle washers for front, come to near the £400 mark so far Thanks fella! They came on the bike and are in almost pristine condition, had someone telling me that Fatty's ruin the geo of every single bike they go on, my opinion to that is "BOLLOCKS" they're well suited to the Ashton and as far as im aware the current Ashton forks they sell are based on the Fatty R's, so can't be that bad lol Does it?? You got any photos? .......... Erm i had a longer echo stem on it when i bought it, hated the feel, i wanted it to feel slightly streety, so i got a shorter stem, and also it's sooo nice and matches my rear hope pro2 bike rides mint, remains flicky, but also sits on the back wheel so comfortably

R.I.P dude, did'nt know you but i always feel sadness and hurt to hear about a loss of another trials rider, my thoughts are with your family and close friends, ride amongst the stars dude x

No worries fella, i have yellow plazzmatics on my rear Magura, with a fresh light grind, think it worked better before i did another grind to be fair! Still has a really good bite and hold luckily but i do want either some Rockman Blue material in cnc backings, or Phatpads in Phatbackings for the rear, personaly i think the Plazzies are for smooth rims hence the better feel on the dead grind previous to my fresh grind. Anyone feel free to correct me about any of my information i have given if im wrong though

Yay thanks Mark, how was Tartydays? i feel like i really missed out, therewill be one nexy year right?

I run dual Maggies, i swear by it although i might be going for a front Hope Mono Trial titanium / carbon soon, but believe me, it will be purely for swish factor lol, even conisidering ditching the idea of going front disc all together, important things to consider when going front Magura is the type of feel you want, and another important thing is the type of pads you run aswell, im running red Kool Stops on a smooth echo urban rim, no tar, and it's amazing, nice and silent apart from at night when theres moisture in the air when it cools down, this however does'nt affect the performance of the rim brake, only thing that makes it poorer is dust on the rim, simply wipe that off though Then waiting in the wings for when the kool stops die (if they ever do lol) , is a beautifull pair of Rock Green pads in plastic backings, tested them, and they're a tad more bitey than the Kool Stops, due to them being softer and a bit more tacky feeling, but none the less, that modulation remains, i'm guessing if you want really sharp and bitey then it's going to be a ground rim and pads to match, suggestive to a light / med grind with Rock Blues or similar, in either plastic or cnc backings, if your'e not such a dab hand with setting up Magura rim brakes i suggest plastic backings, flex in the backing allows movement of the pad material if they're not quite square to the rim, whereas cnc's have to be dead square to the rim. And as for pro's etc using them, i had a leisurely ride with some pals accompanied by Kris Leeson himself in Bedford Sunday, he runs dual maggies and smooth rims on his 24" Fluid, and when he had a go on my mates 24" Fluid with Hope Mono Trial up front, he asked the question " how do you ride with this? " lmao .... then he had a go on my Ashton and said " this mans front brake is how a front brake is meant to feel " so there you go fellas, Maggies rule, if set up right ( with the right combination of rim surface, and pads ) , mine bites like a disc but not as harsh, and has modulation of a hydraulic disc, and i will never worry about hitting a rotor

Don't worry guys, me and my mate Vince went and rescued young Sam haha
