  1. That's so nice! Such a nice spec aswell, almost the same as i would have it.
  2. Beast! Something about watching videos from different countrys makes them so much more enjoyable..
  3. Getting good mate. Garden is coming along nicely aswell, can see you progressing loads in that!
  4. When/if there is hot weather then a lot of us would bleed maguras with water to give it a nice responsive and snappy lever feel. The only reason people bleed their brakes with water is because of the wintrr weather and below 0 tempetures. Putting vodka, anti freeze ect means it won't freeze up in tge middle of a ride or overnight. There is also a new product called Phat Phluid which is basically a water/anti freeze mix with an added lubricant that protects your seals. Hope this helps. If you look it doesn't say he is from england. Give him a chance. I think jaja is the same as haha.
  5. Everyone is assuming that it was actually Dan himself growing the drugs, how ever if you read the topic then he states that he put up one of his warehouse for rent and wae bought by people.supposidly 'florists'. ( not defending him ) However,he's messed numerous people around and generally doesn't give a toss!
  6. Wicked! Defo' think that a tutorial will be awesome!
  7. Ordering my bottle tomorrow!
  8. Common problem with sealed bearings after having them. Its due to the grease inside the bearings itself wearing away leaving you with a bearing feeling horrible and rough. If you go to your local bike shop ( preferably not halfords, clueless ) they usually have some new ones. If you want to keep the ones you have, all I did was put prolink ( I'm sure any other lubricant will be fine, tf2, wd40 ect ) and soak it! Hope this helps.
  9. Disk brakes look very similar to the new Onza Elite? That 26 its god dam aweful!
  10. Wicked video! Love his bike also, looks sweet as.
  11. Onza now do one, disk only though. EDIT: Here's the link. http://www.rocknrollbikes.com/trials/hubs/onza-zoot-pro-front-sealed-disc-hub.html
  12. I wont tell you something about brakes, but what I will tell you, is use the search function bar dude! There are so many topics on this.
  13. If you have this coloured in, please post a big download file so i can have it as my desktop. Amazing work mate.

    V Brakes

    I'd go for the Heatsink V pads. Will be alot stiffer! Not sure if you could get a 19" wheel with a disk mount for 50, as disk hubs are usually more money. You need a disk tab on a frame. If you dont have one, then you obviously cant run a disk brake. If you end up with Heatsink yellow V brake pads, grind the rim to a sharp medium surface for best performance. I have lubed my front V brake cable, aswell as having a linear outer. Go for it.
  15. From the Onza website: "Building on its reputation as the finest value entry level trials bike ever, the Rip gets a fantastic makeover for 2010. Brand new competition style frame with carefully thought out geometry for the novice rider, new riser bars and an ALLOY handlebar stem. Stunning new graphics on a dazzling white frame and now a choice of finishing colors, either red or blue. Basically, what your saying is that you want Onza to make a adapter which allows a 19" wheel into a entry level bike, right? You honestly think that they're going to go to all the effort to make an adapter for the amount of people that buy 20" rear trials bikes and say "why dont these fit 20" wheels? They are for novice beginers! People who are new to the trials scene and want to learn basics and get the things of things.
  16. You get no warrenty on freewheels direct for DENG due to it being a 'wear n tear' part. Same goes for brake clamps and a few other parts aswell.

    V Brakes

    Please, re-type that will fullstops. Alomost died.. An attempt to answer your questions Don't buy standard black pads, they're crap. Instead a set of Inspired pads. There very soft compound makes them awesome on smooth + ground rims. Defo' get a rear booster, it'll stiffen your brake and lever feel alot! Wouldnt upgrade to a Magura unless you have proper 4 bolt frame. Personally them adapters are a absolute b**ch to set up. Theres nothing wrong with a decent rear V set up, i.e: Deore arms, Tnn Lgv pads, grind and Shimano xtr lever. With the 19" rear wheel, advantages of that would be due to the thickness of it, it can make life alot easier staying on the back wheel, gapping ( dont 'rim' out ) Hope this helps..
  18. My mate had one of these. Me, and him both hated it. It's alot of effort to keep on the backwheel, but seemed to do quite nice spinney stuff.
  19. Don't really understand that. I persnally is going to download vegas just because people have said that there are a lot more 'smaller' effects. For example, on windows if you wanted to do zoom in effect thrn it zooms in quite quickly and makes the picture fairly.grainy. Also on effect ' fade out' (or in ) fades real quick where as on vegas you can choose the speeds of the zoom,fade,slow moton.
  20. Thanks mate. The whole camera was moving backwards on a homemade tracking dolly! Google it and try make yourself one. Give a really sweet look.
  21. Hey guys, Finally got to ride today at Milton Keynes bus station with it all being under cover and all. Got a bit of footage and thought i may aswell use it. Sorry for poor quality, ill be updating my PC very soon so my camera will reach its full potential. Also got a chance to test out my 2011 Hs33. First impressions are very good! Comment and advice would be nice, Sam.
