  1. Floyd, nice choice. Awesome riding too
  2. Awesome! looks like a really nice place to ride and you ride it with ease. Bet it was an awesome holiday.
  3. Some awesome pictures there Tis great to watch you guys ride.
  4. Really corse sand paper and a lot of the ye old elbow grease. Used to do that before the angle grinder Idea came about.
  5. I remember a little while ago some peeps talking about the fly. well here's why it looks like it does and why deep down the look doesn't matter when it can do what it does! fact! fookin awesome bit of kit!
  6. i haven't been to lucky. last week i went out and face planted a rock. then yesterday one of my pedals tattooed my shin bad times.
  7. Yeah +1 for music. My guitars/musical intruments and my laptop. And my bike
  8. Arh yeah i remember doing the double tyre bit back before these thicker side wall tyres started to come about. was a little heavy though.... but we were manly men with big manly men muscles back then so we didn't care about 500g here or there lol
  9. Out of interest does anyone else put talc on their inner tubes and inside of their tyres before putting them on the rim and pumping them up? I find it stops me getting so many pinches and help stop the inner tube from sticking to the walls of the tyre. Kind of a dry powder lube.
  10. I was thinking of getting some new pads anyway. i'll get some on order when i get paid the end of the month.
  11. Cool, thank you for the help. I sorted out the break in the end. i took the pad's out, cleaned and lubed the pistons, got them moving propper and then lined the calliper up. turns out my rotor is a little bent (from hitting some rocks a few weeks back) so it still rubs a little, kind of a tic tic tic sound as it spins. it's better than it was though. As for the snail cam thing's i turned them over and it looks ok. i was pretty shore that they would be alright the other way up but just wanted so reassurance i guess. Oh my side hopping. i can't quite work out what side feels more normal for me at the mo. i seem to want to go to the left but as you say i do catch my pedal was i kick up some times. i'm going out on sunday morning so i'll give some side hops to the right and see how i get on. thanks again, shawn.
  12. Well i've sorted out my brake and i have turned those snail cam looking thing's around so they don't stick out below the line of the chain stays. Will put a fresh grind on my rim and see how it is tomorrow.
  13. Super, thank you. i'll give that a go in a bit.
  14. Hi i have a couple of Q's here. Firstly i've just been in the garden trying to side hop and just thought is this small snail cam looking thingy the wrong way up? (see pic) Because i have been bashing it when i don't quite make the side hop. (my left foot is my forward foot and i seem to want to side hop, well learn to side hop, to the left) So my thinking was could i just turn them up the other way thus stopping it from sticking below the line of the frame? they'd do the same job right? And my second question involves my front disc; The pad's aren't new and as far as i can tell the rotor is true but one pad doesn't move as freely as it should. Hopefully you can see in the pic that it looks like one piston is farther over than t'other. What's the best thing or thing's to try and fix this wee problem? Any help would me most awesome thank you, Shawn.
  15. Ball's!!!!! only just picked up on this thread! god dam it!
  16. Yeah there are some cool people riding in poole and b'mouth. the HTC would be good to go along to. i've been thinking of popping along next year just for the experience really. i'm still not very good but really enjoy riding so yeah get your asses out sunny jim!
  17. I am quite busey with work and the band so I only really get to ride on sunday mornings. I love trials though and always will. I think if my music kicks off all I'll do is gig, record and ride!
  18. I know what you mean about the jazz necks. When I had my jazz made I changed the neck and had p bass style geo. Also I perf a toppyer sound.
  19. Kids......... A few of my other basses this one i put together from spare bits i had around the house 5 string Cort Fretless SX 5 string Aria Electro acoustic And a fretless 6 string Tis funny how people go 'Eeeew' when they see a parker. BUT! Once you find out what they can do the way it looks is less of an issue.
