  1. thanks for the replies will try an 18 and see. cheers
  2. right currently 22t front on a stock, set up for natural what size rear are you guys using as a general size as im ditching gears and going single speed? any replies apreciated cheers.
  3. i recently went to my first rear vee ever, i love it, mines the cheapy onza type with cheapy pads, light grind on rim and its sweet, not as wooden feeling as my hs was and seems to give me less arm pump too for sum reason, wierd.
  4. i got a 2010 sherco 290 but hankering after a beta evo idealy a 4 banger
  5. well got the bike runing standard onza v rear brake on smooth rim, a litle woble about and it slips like a bazzer lol, i gave the rim a light grind so presume any old pads will do with a grind? seems a lot doferent to the hs;s ive had but a lot smoother not so on/off as the magura, will see how the grind is when i get to ride it next. cheers for the advice guys apreciate it.
  6. ah ok i get you dude ive never had a hs let go on me ever, i rode a mates bike with hss on smooth rim and kerbang nearly broke my back lol.
  7. what do you mean by hold dude? i used linear cables on my bmx's etc there realy good and solid if you bash about. cheers
  8. basicaly every bike ive ever had ive run either HS33 or disc brakes, got ofered a frame with vee rear brake on, are these any good for a slightly podgy midle aged bloke? :$ whats the best way to run them? any recomendations on pads? is a grind a no no on them etc? any advice apreciated, cheers
  9. ive always ran halflinks with no issues, latest is a blingy tank and its sweet, only time i snaped a chain was a kmc cool type. a friend of mines pretty good on trials and runs a tank chain for a year, no issues. maybe its bad luck with them?
  10. what your a massive twat too? lol
  11. lol i used to be a tattooist before i started embalming hence all the tats ha. oh and the guitar is a tanglewood dude, ive a dean on the other rack
  12. everyones diff. as with all my piercings and tats i think i do them for the pain side of it in a wierd way. its easy to say ear tunels look shit etc and everyone has them but who cares. i personaly find the skinny jeans/empty lense glases look that you see everywhere is rediculaaaaaarse this song is what im talking bout ha we are all diferent and thats what makes the world, if we were all the same it would be a boring place. and yes a badly stretched ear will look like a sloppy bott fresh from a barrymoore pool party . ha
  13. there was no wear on anything inside etc, awesome, cheers for the advice guys apreciated.
  14. ive had mine at near 50mm and it almost shrinks to nothing if left but i stretched it properly slowly. nearly everyone i no rushes and causes scar tissue hence it doesnt go back fully and your left with "the bum hole" affect we all do stuff we regret in life but its part of life so i dont let it get me down. if your gona stretch then do it properly or as with anything in life it can go wrong. we are all diferent and our bodies react diff to stuff.
  15. well striped the hub and its like new inside no dirt, grime and more importantly NO hair lol didnt clean or lube anything stuck it back together as it came out, fited the wheel back in and hey presto i have the king sound back. not as "clicky" as a mates king but hes is a lot newer. ive just posted a vid clip in the first post on this thread (excuse my messy front room lol) does it sound ok to you guys now?????? thanks oh and on my youtube is me and my mates falling off trials motorbikes lots if your into that thing lol
  16. ok il strip it down and have a looky whats going on in there as its silent as a silent thing on national silent day in silentville.
  17. i aint got a hub tool and dont fancy bashing a few hundred quid hub lol. not sure i can be arsed to strip it down to be fair as it runs sweet as it always has its just gone quiet is all. it wasnt doing it before if it had then id of got tartys to service it while they built the wheel for me doh!
  18. does that apply to me as i dont ride any hairy places haha how random dude. its next on the list to do. cheers
  19. the downtube armour is the leftover top parts off my motorbike trials fork armour 15 quid a set i trim off the tops and get to protect 2 bikes for that price ha. bashed it a fair bit and it hasnt broke off or anything yet.
  20. ive not touched it for a year. my last king hub was 3 years use and didnt touch it once, never skiped once in all the time lol. maybe il get it serviced.
  21. i never buy stuff with colour in mind to match rest of bike i just buy the bits seperate lol its a gamble how they will look on haha.
  22. looks lush, can i be rude and ask what sort of money a new build like this would set you back?
  23. hi nothing changed except the nackered spokes and diff rim were removed and new rim and spokes fitted and built properly by tartys. it deffo much quieter as a few lads i rode with fri eve comented how quiet it was. hardly any noise at all im not fussy bout the noise of it just wanted to check its not a sign of anything bad to come lol. when i first got the hub it was well loud the more i rode the quieter it got.
