  1. I would go silver forks, silver frame, white stem, black bars, white maggys, white grips, silver hubs, white rims, black spokes,black rimtape. black cranks, tensile 96 white freewheel, silver pedals and white tyres. If you get this combination then I think i will jizz my pants lol
  2. I no what you mean the youngest person i ride with is 16 and the oldest is 28 lol in a normal situation we wouldnt all socialise together but we all get on and have a good laff.
  3. You could get a grinder and grind the rim the opporsite way to normal and it will smooth it off.
  4. I wear just normal shorts and a normal top + fingerless gloves and my helmet. Dont wear a shirt I always rip mine under the armpit. Or I sometimes go topless when i get realy hot.
  5. I had these pads on for a couple of weeks they are very very good on smoth rim, dont need any tar they work perfect dont slipp at all. Only downer i fount was that the pad material is very soft plus the plastic standard backings means that it makes your brake leaver feel spongey, if you dont find this a problem then get them, but if your like me and like a good solid feeling brake then i wouldn't recomend them.
  6. I depends what you want the white tyres for, I used my white tyres to make my bike look different, plus it looked amazing with white tyres. My current frame doesnt pull if off aswell, so gone back to the boring black ones. but i think one white one will just look shite.
  7. HaHa lol weirdly my dad told me that one and he did it to some woman at this party lol just to prove it works, it was well funny I oftern use the old trip and the little spill of the drink, then appologise and ask if they want a drink. Works most of the time
  8. Yeah Heatsink Yellows or TNN Greens not the Rockman ones there poo
  9. Well it all depends on the colour or your rim, mine is quite dark so tar is less noticeable then a grind would be. But fair comment I dunno what type of tar it is, got it off a mate was super good when i got it, but now like a month later it isn't as good.
  10. Go double V mate if both your bkaes have broke I would go with Neon 4-Bolt to V-Brake Adaptors Avid SD7 Calipers Heatsink Yellow V pads Avid SD7 Lever Shimano XT Brake
  11. Glad you got it back, My mate got his BMX stolen by this chav yesterday. We were outside Tesco and and he asked for a go on my trials bike, I said no mate am off to get the train, then he asked my mate for ago on his BMX he kept saying no and the chav wouldnt give up so he let him have a go. he then bombed off on his bike i tried caching him but he had a BMX and i had a trials bike, i was just to slow + I didnt no the area also so that also didnt help. So my mate is now bikeless and gutted.
  12. I no how to grind a rim lol am not stupid just dont want to, i think it makes the wheels look shit, only grind them in the winter.
  13. I didn't go this year as i was on holiday but in my oppinion the location was poo. should make it more in the midlands next time, then its in the middle of everywhere.
  14. I was 16 and had a SHITTY Onza T bird was by far the worst bike ive every used just broke all the time.
  15. Alrite mate saw a T- Pro frame on ebay have a look mate you will probe get it cheaper then your budget.
  16. Or you could take the leavr blade of and try and grab the piston with some long skinny pliers try not to damage the piston though.
  17. £250 i think is to much i would put it up for £210 and take £200 when they try and bargin you down.
  18. Left the tar in the shed for an hour as its like a oven in there lol made the tar a nice softness again and it went on my rim perfect. thanks for all your help
  19. Are rite ok, thanks for your advice mate
  20. I had the rockman greens on they were perfect didnt need no tar, but because they only have standard backings so the brake felt spondgey. So went back to the TNN greens as they have the CNC backings and the brake doesnt feel spondgey anymore, but the pads are a harder compound and not stickey so i feel safer with abit of tar on.
