  1. just got my brakes back on my bike, fresh bleed etc, and when ever i hold the brake in for a while the hole tpa turns so the notched arnt in the grrove on the lever, if you know what i meen ? and the tpa keeps changing on its own, i will set it how i want and then 10-15 mins later of riding it will set its self so the lever pulls right in :( whats up with it ? has it been over tightened and broke ? or am i just being stupid and missing something that blatently ovious ?

  2. just saying, im looking to buy a new custom frame next year and have been looking for options and want one thats aluminium, so if build quality is good i would be more than happy to be a customer at £300+, definately get back with some more info on build quality and a company name ;) will probably be in contact with you shortly or next year some time :P

  5. As I previously said earlier, I enjoyed this. The up to 90 on the bank and the 270 over the steps particularly stood out. I look forward to seeing you ride with brakes

    Also, make sure you get into Swindon to ride. Hit up James Rawlings, Adam Storey, Kurt, etc. You can find them on facebook, through my facebook if you want to add me. Group rides are good fun and also good for your riding (Y)

    thanks :) will definately have to meat up for a ride, although i was only around you guys for 5-10 mins was a good atmosphere :) will ad you on facebook shortly :D

  8. if you do street, with spins, manual, etc. i would go for high rise stem with short length, like a 25 degree, 90mm-100mm, if you do more trials, with less spins, more hops, hooks, etc. then go for a quit high rise (25 degrees) stem but just like 120-140, something like that :) i ride a 25 degree 70mm on a 24, i like to have it short and flicky to make spins easier (more bmxy) :) its all down to personal preference though :) hope this helps :D

  9. if i was you i would just look for a second hand inspired or something :) i got the ashton effect about a year ago as a complete bike and i have had to change so many parts, front brake hardly worked, gearing was all wrong, skipped when i rode in a straight line, not even pedaling hard. now i have got all of this sorted out, its know a realy nice bike to ride :) i do more bmxy street to trials so the geometry is near enough perfect for me, bit long with standard forks but with inspired forks on its perfect :P but i have spent alot of money to get it right, i would eathier go for a new zoot, or a second hand inspired/marino or something along those lines. hope this helps
