  1. And what you can't tell from the pic is the rock actually sloped under so if the rider didn't make it above the lip then they weren't going up it!
  2. Pic of said rock above, not easy in the slightest!
  3. Will do, dying to get out to be honest and the missus said the other day that I should go Shefvegas for a ride sometime, hmmmm ok love!!
  4. Loving it, think I'm deffo down for at least 3 of the 5 british cup and hopefully a few Tyke rounds. Still can't get over the pics from Shipley Glen, that sidehop from the banking onto the steep rock was unbelievable! (If anyone has a look on the site it's the pics from shipley glen from the 8th row down, MASSIVE sidehop which only a few people managed from a steep banking on long grass, very hard!)
  5. I'd say battering someone to the point where they're left with brain damage sounds like attempted murder to me and I reckon they should be charged with it!
  6. I did buy a set of Viz ones to swap them for but where the holes have been machined out they bent in slightly (if you understand what I mean) just about where I'd need the cam to sit so I was concerned it'd split there. Might give them a going over first though with a file like you said before I spend anymore sorting it out, as I said above I'm using a Kool chain, would I be better going for a z610 when they're back in stock as I can always chuck this one on my mod??
  7. Brand new Kool ordered from yourself I think matey not too long ago! May have to look at the H cams then and grind them down.
  8. I'm having a few problems with the back end of my because, as I've decided to squeeze a der kaiser in the dropouts (not an easy job) I really need to be able to get the wheel lined up perfect but I can't get my cams to work well enough. I currently have monty toothed cams fitted but the biggest adjustment is just slightly too small and the only bigger toothed cams are Try Alls which have been replaced now so I'm stuck with either buying some smooth cams and grinding some teeth in or going for some chain tugs. I've had some of the gusset ones when they came with an old frame but I never used them as I didn't like the look but the trialtechs look pretty well designed, has anyone used them and can recommend? Or does anyone know of any snail cams with adjustment over 20mm that are worth buying? (Going on tartybikes modded Echo TR 135mm hub)
  9. You've been here over 2 years, maybe try posting more than once every 12 months and you'll be validated in no time!
  10. So if I wanted you to make a frame to take the 16" wheels off my sons bike you could do it?
  11. I thought you'd got orange cause I was your hero?!
  12. Had a few new bits so updated the pics, and when the rear wheel is in straight she rides like a dream!
  13. I agree, I like my because simple as it is a very simple frame and I find the geo great. However theres a few niggles like tyre clearance so if when it dies I could get a replacement made with the same geo but better tyre clearance and a tensioning system like the new echos i'd gladly pay £300+ (the because is only £226).
  14. Cum on you slag!!! Will have to get out down shefvegas when shes built up, you get that wheel???
  15. Has it got 4 bolt mounts on the rear or just V mounts cause it sounds like your explaining the evo brake mount for V frames
  16. How do you manage to pogo stick it about so much, it absolutely knackers me out though that could be an age thing! Can't wait to get back up to the glen again, good stuff guys!
  17. I'd put it down to the cams, are they smooth or notched??

    Age!

    I'm there, feels really odd competing against lads 10 years younger than you!
  19. Yeah your right, there's no way they've been scratched off, Jake just used a stanley knife blade to cut the green sections from around the Zoo! logo.
  20. I always find Lucozade Sport does me well for re-energising
  21. The problem you'll be having with turning right is cause your right foot is more to the back of the bike than your left it makes it easier to push the back end round when endoing or bunnyhopping. Turning to the side of your forward foot means you'll be using your body more so the way you need to balance yourself is completely different, just purely a practice thing really if you want to get it nailed.

    I'd be the same if it wasn't for the severe lack of hair up top, wet shave makes me look like a bald 12 year old!
