  1. Ah well, great to know that some other people out there ride brakeless mods too :D

    I have thought about it... But didn't take the brakes off and rose without touching them at all during a trick, not even to slow down. Its great fun, i leaned back too much and fell hard a few times, but got up and tryed till i got it. Brakeless is fun!

  2. If you don't know what a falling dream is, it is when you are lying in bed tired, and you weirdly fall part asleep... Then you have a little dream that you are falling, and just before you hit the ground, you jump and wake up.

    They're scary! Discuss if you have had one, and if you have, what were you falling off?

  3. made me LOL.

    but back on thread ;)

    i enjoyed that...

    i liked it more then your previous vids as it showed more improvement and bigger stuff (Y)

    good job

    can't wait to see what you rumble up in the full vid (Y)

    matt

    I will make the full vid pretty good, and about 3-4 mins long. May be longer than expected, I lost all love for making videos so i take about 2 clips a day if your lucky lol.

    wheres the full vid man, your really improving fast now il see you in 4 weeks

    I havnt got enough clips, ill be videoing loaaads tommorow since everybody wants to see the full thing lol.

    Thanks everybody

    And yeah, see you in 4 weeks Rab :)

    very good! :)

    Cheers dude! Means alot coming from some people as good at riding as all you guys.

  4. cool, whens the full vid out? how comes your not allowed your bike?

    Checked my tube for punctures last night for an hour rather than doing homework. I never do homework when asked so my mum was angry :P

    Im planning on getting more clips tommorow, and the full vid possibly done before a fortnight, and i will be making a Danny Mcbean Memorial ride video aswell, so that wont be too long after this full one :)

  5. Nice, what's with the classical? :giggle:

    I put it all in slow-mo and this is the only music i have time to put on my computer (windows 7 sample music Lol) except for linkin park, which didnt go with the riding... the full vid will have some decent rock.

    And yeah, it would be gay music for some good editing and fast,hard riding. But this should be tiny to the real video.

    Cheers mate!

  6. I'M BACK BABY! B)

    Just a preview guys, got way more clips to share, for my next full vid after the one this is previewing i wont do a preview as its a waste of time really, but i couldnt wait much longer and had nothing else to do since im not allowed my bike (N)

    Comment please. Also, i felt this video needed slow music, so the full video will have proper good rock music (Y)

    Enjoy...

  7. You talk so much shit.....

    Personally I would go with a Because instead of the lite, seriously under rated frames.

    Yeah the because is nice, i was just saying that get a echo/ any deng product and he wont be dissapointed ;)

    And as someone else said, the speedrace is a nice frame aswell!

    Well they cant be that bad if Sam Oliver rides one ....... unless he just chooses to ride a "horrible" bike <_<

    Ashes.

    Yeah, personally i like rockmans althought ive never ridden one, its just what ive been told. I'd hate to recomend a frame, have him buy it and hate it. £419 wasted.

  8. ah cool, i was just screwing the locknuts in ( while holding the other one with another spanner, so thats not right?? i have always done that though)in so it was ok but then goes again, so i need to get the cones at the right place which is the bit before the locknut?? then tighten the locknuts really hard u say? i thought that the locknut pushes the cones in to stop the wobble.

    cheers for the help and sorry for the really noob question.

    as far as I know, the locknut keeps them tight in place. Yeah the bit on the inside of the locknut is the cones, and hold them whilst tightening the locknut.

  9. sweet, that might be the problem will try it tomorrow, cheers

    EDIT

    is the lock nut inside the silver nut on the hubs?, hear the one that i have

    http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=103&category_id=62

    i have been tightening the silver nuts so it doesn't wobble.

    Yeah, the locknut is the silver thing. You may be tightening it without holding the cone still with a 15mm spanner? If you arent holding and keeping the cone in place it will just move again, and the locknut has to be like the wheel bolt, extreme tight. This may not be the problem, but its sounds like what i had, which was fixed by doing this :)

  10. hi there,

    my hub keeps going wobbly, its a cheap onza open bearing one, it was wobbely then i took it to the LBS and it came out nice and smooth without no wobble, the day after it started wobbling ( was doing basic stuff) so i tightened up the cones.its ok for a short while then starts going wobbly so i tightened the cones up again ( done this 3 times when it got wobbely) but it still wobbles badly, what should i do?, just keep tightening it up when it does wobble? its pack full of grease.

    so any ideas on what to do? exept get a new hub which im getting soon. the chain was nice and tight but i dont think it was that tight to break the bearings.

    cheers

    oh and sometimes it only wobbles in certain parts of the wheel, always in the same place and other parts of the wheel its nice and sturdy.

    Had this problem before also... on the outside of the cones (away from the hub) there is a little locknut. It should need a 17mm spanner, tighten your cones to your liking, then tighten the locknut VERY tight. When tightening the locknut, hold the cone with another spanner so it doesnt move while you tighten the locknut. Do this to both cones. If it doesn't work, i would suggest buying a sealed bearing hub, as you seem to have alot of problems with your wheel wobbling etc. and sealed bearings are amazing compared to cones in my (and possibly most others?) opinion.

    EDIT: Did you ever check if your axle had snapped?

    Hope I helped mate.

  11. 1:04 was insane, good on him for doing it.

    Thanks for posting this, really enjoyed it!

    that is SICK ! awsome stuff :) i LOL'ED when that rider went from wall to that box thing and slipped to his ass .. skills :giggle:

    Okay this is weird: I scrolled down whilst the video was on, and read this comment, went back to the video and it was on the exact clip (it had just started) where this happens :o

    Wont clog your thread, just was weird and felt like saying it! :lol:

  12. Yeah it is pretty heavy but I think it will be nice. I just love the idea of having it in my garage soon! Thanks very much!

    Ok time for an update!

    So he has finished welding the gussets on the top and down tube:

    100_2016.jpg

    And he has welded the Brake mounts. They look original and long, so If I ever have to use helicoil there will be loads of room for it!

    100_2017.jpg

    Next imporant thing is now done. I am speaking of the triple seat tube. I asked him to do it at the last moment so it doesn't precharge the welding on these tubes too much. I think it looks very well done, and it is just the way I wanted it to look.

    100_2018.jpg

    Now the BB area is being finished. There is a small gusset between both chainstays near the BB so it will help stiffen the rear triangle near the Bb area (that is already rigideified by the triple seat tubes). But then we have some connectors between both sides of the rear triangle. There are just two gussets missing.

    100_2019.jpg

    100_2020.jpg

    So next thing is welding gussets in the BB area, painting, and then shipping. I paid for the frame this morning and it went smooth with XOOM.com

    My bank just contacted me to know if it was normal to have money being sent to Peru lolzzzzzz.

    Thanks for your attention!

    Is there something up with the 4-bolt mounts?

    And it looks nice :)

  13. As per title really. Got urbans for sale on there for a decent price, just wondering if they are legit to order from?

    max

    Yeah, a few mates and my uncle got stuff off there and it came. They dont seem terrible. Use the search bar to see if there is any bad reviews about the site?

    Kieran.

  14. Huh...

    What the hell, that's totally not worth seeing. f**king rip... I read in Empire how he had an hour's worth of footage that got cut from the film, it was meant to go on the front to explain more of the background of Jake Sulley and things. I later heard it was going to be rereleased with that extra bit... obviously not.

    Yeah this Avatar thing is really retarded. I mean 8 minutes? Couldnt that just be like deleted scenes in a special edition of the dvd, Avatar was a great film, but im not going to see it for 8 minutes.

    The 8 mins will be spread out the whole film, you will barely remember/notice what bits were there and what weren't, right?
