    Just Justin

    riding from this weekend
  2. nice video there little man love the song one of my favourites at the moment
  3. the best pipe lagging would probably be armoflex(its black and resnably thick) although your bike would go from pimped to piky lol the shin and knee pads are the best thing i have ever bought,now there are a few people that will moan and call me a wimp but i used to hit my knees to the point you did and i cannot afford the time off work so it all seemed like a good idea just look like you have fake legs when you wear shorts
  4. lmao im sure what he ment was knee pads,i wear a set of oneil moto x knee (clicky)(not the ones i have but very similar) and shin pads when i ride,definatly stops the knees getting knocked and the shins gettin hit,there are better pairs out there jsut depends what you want to pay but if ur looking for a set of small knee pads i would recomend these clicky
  5. a road is a road though doesnt matter whether you know it or not,dont forget you wont always know the roads you drive on and its a learning curve driving so the more experience you egt driving where you dont know the more aware youll b of signs?

    Ipl

    randomly flicking threw the tv channels on sataday i came accross the ipl on setanta now i originally thought cricket was a boring sport untill i watched a game this 20-20 is quite interesting a lot better than listening to sir david telling people about whale mating calls or whatever eles is on discovery
  7. the coke can or for arguements sake a can in general(i profer red bull as it gives you wings and helps you hop) and a spotta blue locktite on the thread it will last a fair amount of time when it wears loose again pop another bita can in it
  8. i can tap up just over bar hieght and can also just about bunny hop that but not every time,i ride 26" and since re-learning the bunny hop and swaying to a more street style i found riding a lot more fun as for learning to get up higher id definatly recomend pallets easier to adjust that a wall really want to get a 24" from the way every one talks it seems there so much more fun to ride. as said above i profer taps if there is a bit mroe control needed but bunnyhops are the way forward i think
  9. have you tried contacting magura? do they do a seal kit or something along those lines?
  10. nice vid there chris that last side hop was huuuuge was hping to see jons eeerr "pumping" a couple of extremly well filmed clips there have to get out and ride again
  11. i ride left footed but sidehop to the right does that make me a wierdo? i have recently been trying to gap a little using my right foot,i end up either on my ar$$ or just barely hoping but with practice i might get there
  12. now that was a nice little video "bare" riding lol
  13. wow! wasnt expecting any of that nice vid! my good news:that vid made me want to ride my bad news cant the tryin to settle the winkles down
  14. there is enough footage on you tube and here to learn from,you got to have a posative mental attitude to,my step son is in the same position he is just starting and i been able to hop about for years and it is so difficult to explain,the best thing you can do is practice practice practice and then once your done doing that practice some more. id recomend varying it though try front hops too,track stands,bunny hops and hoping on both wheels up kurbs that way you wont get bored of just trying back hops
  15. i tend to sway more on the side of a small jubelee clip stronger and therefore a bit safer than a cable tie
  16. sadly i cant remove any more links i did look at that first,and i doubt it is the cog as i changed it 3 times and prior to putting a rear mech on it still skipped
  17. i tried to mod the tensioner i had on there to tension upwards but the frame got in the way and it was still really slack,like i said above ive gone for a old mech i had laying around seems to be allright for now bit noisey though
  18. i use tar with a medium grind and koxx browns i think they are, although i did use standard pads on a sharp grind and the brake worked amasingly. i did use the old koxx blocks on a dead grind and they seemed to work ok but i would definatly recomend putting a nice sharp grind on the rim and go from there
  19. i dont think its an issue of them fitting more an issue of getting them i was told a while back that they were disontinued,what size is the stem?
  20. 22(front) 17/16(rear) my old chain must have stretched far to much couldnt have been far of snapping but its anoying the way it just happened but i have strapped on an acera mech,with the intension of getting something a bit more perminant later on so ill bare that in mind cheers
  21. how about poping the lever piston out and giving it a good cleen and a relube,once youve popped it out if the seal looks ruined then look at getting a new one
  22. hit the nail on the head there managed to get an old one at the back of my garage,it isnt overly great its bloody noisy,would a kings 74 be any good cheers all
  23. there we go ignore the brass bit,thats comeing off,i though it was the chain tensioner i put that on there to guide the chain
  24. i have a sprung one single wheeled rather like this how do i get it to tension the other way
