  1. Looking good mate. ..itll come eventually , its just a very commited move .really got to throw your weight forward hard . Keep it updated with your progression
  2. Not sure about the tensiles , the race line Cnc are the same as 05 maggies so any lever will do
  3. You talking about the tensiles or race line Cnc ?
  4. Ill give that one a try tar dude
  5. I've tried with couple 10kg's under each heal which helps but still feels bit wobbly . Would love to get it sorted without using anything .... My mate said try it like your taking a shit in the woods but nearly fell backwards trying it that way This is the only thing stopping my trials improving I reckon ... Hopefully it's not my hamstrings playing up or ill be carrying bits of wood to the gym permanently
  6. Looking for some help with squats , my problem being I can't keep my bloody heals down . I've got to 140kg easy but that's literally on my tip toes and feels like I'm gonna fall over at any point . The minute I start to go down they lift off the floor . Trying to get this technique sorted so I can see what my max could be and work on it . I know I have tight hamstrings , have all my life maybe it's that that's stopping me ? Any tips ? I'm pretty tall guy too 6'3 and over 18stone ... Can bench 185kg and dead lift 310kg . But none of that really counts for riding ... I'd say the squats are most important but if I can't keep me heals down I'm screwed and likely to have an accident if I try to push it on my toes
  7. Are they the new 2013 forks ? How do they compare to previous forks you've owned ? Looks nice though , especially the front end
  8. Too late bought the new Cnc race lines instead Although if they live up to the hype amongst you lot I may have to pick some up eventually
  9. Anyone know when they are out if not already ?
  10. Was strange , didn't even rim out , was convinced I hit some glass before the gap but once I got the tube out there was a typical pinch .... I've put a very heavy duty tube in now to help out
  11. All my stuff comes from tartys
  12. I had a tryall sticky lite with a normal tube and never ever punctured it , just recently got a baron and punctured it last weekend on a round edge wall ?? Strange ...
  13. I had the zoo , tryall are fine , the conti baron did not fit even with a stretched chain . Had to cut all the nobbles about 2mm . With a new chain you got no chance with a 2.5 conti ... The new gu frame I got has loads of room for big 2.5's . Just be careful . Not sure about any maxxis tyres though
  14. Just wanted people's opinions on the freewheel and the rear screw on sprocket . Is titanium more likely to crack ? The freewheels centre is titanium and the whole of the rear sprocket too . Anyone own either and broke them /problems ? Cheers
  15. Just got hold of this today along with couple other bits . Had my first ride tonight and it feels great . Not too sure what to do with the green headset , pedals and brake clamps yet . Might go black or might keep them ....opinions ? Cheers
  16. Those big chains are 3/16th and there huge . I ran the kmc k910 version . And previously the gusset tank chain 3/16th version. They are practically unbreakable and don't stretch either . I have a brand new one I bought to fit on my zoo but it doesn't fit as the tightness pulls the rim too far towards the frame so the tire rubs on the chain stay yoke . An extra link makes it too long . If your running horizontal dropouts like many frames nowadays then you'll need to check it they fit if you decide you want that peace of mind .... Oh and they weigh a ton I use the 510hx and so far so good . Kmc 710 before was good too . Never snapped but stretched a good half inch over 4 months use . You might have just landed funny on it and damaged a link for your chain to break so quick . I check mine before every ride just to make sure . Choice is yours dude
  17. Cheers Andy , was saying to jmcd that carbon bars are great . Very stiff with no flex at all . People shouldn't doubt them . Can see them lasting very well . Defo sort a ride soon though . Wouldn't mind trying your in door spot soon too
  18. Yeah I will be slowly getting rid of the green bits for black and silver , and the next rim will be smooth too . The tnn adm pads I run front and rear work amazing on either surface .
  19. I had the same problem . My zoo piranha came with echo press fit bb and echo alloy bolts . First time I took them out to replace the bearings they refused to go back in and started to strip the ends of the alloy bolts . The threads in the bb are fine . The bolts just seem a little soft material wise . My fix was a lot of pressure on the bolts. You really need to push hard and straight while gently turning . They will eventually grip the good thread just past the stripped bit and go on easy after that . Have to do this every time I need to put them back in but it works . Hopefully yours will be the same
  20. Slightly updated spec from last time , feeling really nice to ride , and those carbon bars I received today are the most stiff bars I've felt . Really can see carbon bars catching on more and more
  21. Ok, so I've decided to bite the bullet and try some carbon bars ... It's either the tryall or trialtech carbons . Would there be any difference strength wise between the two ? The trialtech are slightly lighter but the tryalls look nicer . Can't decide . Anyone had both and compared or broke any ? Cheers
  22. Been running tr's for about 6 months now and although they ain't the nicest feeling bars compared to try alls ,trialtechs etc , I can't fault there strength . I'm heavy than most people at 117 kilos and they been taking some big gaps to front recently . In fact my echo urban forks snapped in 2 before the bars have
  23. Trialtech !! Very stiff strong mo fo's
  24. Yellows matey .... Excellent pads , or tnn adm . They are my new favourite . Stop you on a dime , and that's coming from me being over 18 stone
  25. Cool was thinking about the surfaces being a little slippery so ill give it a shot and post back
