  1. I've been once, loads to ride liked it a lot, But i couldn't go much as its a fair few hours away in the car and i can't drive and won't be able to for a good few years That would be my only reason for not going much and maybe wanting to go to the dales and stuff to ride natty
  2. Its cool man, not fussed Going to wait for the rain to stop and go out in the afternoon
  3. Weather is crap so got no lift there now, probably going to ride Leicester instead
  4. Guessing we will park up at Higger Tor, not sure though as Kyle's driving, usually park up there and move somewhere else after a while
  5. Getting there 11-12ish probably, Anyone is welcome to come along
  6. Its only 10mins drive from roaches, its called Higger Tor and Carl Walk in the Derbyshire Dales i think When i go i usually have to ride from the local train station to get there, so i notice some of the signs on the way
  7. Haha nah its fine, I'm pretty sure its to do with the vibrations, more vibrations mean more bite a booster will stop a large amount of vibrations which means less bite and a little more hold, but urbans are stiff enough anyway to give you all the hold you need. I THINK thats how it works, or something along those lines

    Tar

    Don't use it
  9. Its probably making the brake worse, mine improved when i took the booster off my forks but the only reason i had it on was because they really flexy
  10. Take the booster off the front brake, its really not needed with those forks
  11. Thats what i have been told, either one of those should be suited
  12. What size cranks do you have? I've found 18:14 too easy as well, rolling moves are harder with it I'm going to put my SL on some 170mm cranks instead or 175mm to try and stiffen it up a little, so it saves me having to get a new 13t cog and it will keep my chainstays at 360mm too which is perfect for my frame
  13. Getting better man! ride soon!
  14. Cheers man! Was planning on getting some more clips when i get my frame back from tarty, so i probably will if my warranty claim goes through!
  15. Didn't think this was worth its own thread, filmed it at Hathersage a few months ago, was having a bad day so the riding is very average. The last two clips are at Barrow Farm the day my Echo decided to crack so i rode my mod
  16. Just because these things happen 'all the time' doesn't mean they aren't serious. You need to stop making arguments over nothing, this isn't the first thing on the forum that you have sparked up. I'm only 14 and i can even see that. On topic, hope Chris will be okay, sounds a nasty crash, lets just hope it wont put him off riding
  17. Josh is getting loads better now! Need to meet up for a ride soon Flipp, haven't been out in a while
  18. That wont work at all Get a new bolt, or have your mount tapped of its threaded, i wouldn't trust that one bit Bike overall looks good, should have got the forks done too and as said not keen on the graphics.

    Jack Carthy

    He has no boundaries, he will be world champ one day! Stupidly good! Liked the song too
  20. I have some 170s on my mod, will swap the freewheels over and run them, Cheers guys
  21. I'm running 18:14 with 175mm cranks on my Echo trial, and the gearing just seems a little easy, it just makes rolling moves harder and generally makes the bike feel slightly strange. Does anyone have any recommendations on what i should do to stiffen it up a little? or is the correct setup and I'm just being stupid? 18:15 maybe? Or would some shorter cranks make a difference? Cheers
  22. Sweet music, cant go wrong with Ed Solo Good riding, but i think you would benefit from a higher rise stem, that (echo?) one looks stupidly small.
