Mate I've no idea. I dont want anything thats the norm/common/chavy. thinking also I'd go for some kind of wrap around a wrist type thing so it can be disguised with watches and jewellery if needs be. I'm an average guy with no real commitment to a style, lean to a street/skate direction mostly. are there any sites you could suggest I look at maybe for inspiration? Thanks for getting back to me

the demo was barry deeks doing a pivot/roll over/drop in off the bashring on a wall if that helps? Thanks for all the interest guys Just found out that it was the march 2001 edition! thanks

Thanks monkey. I dont know right now, tom is looking later for me. In the mean time I've a feeling that ashton was on the front, though that was pretty standard back then! there were only 6 rounds of hop idol plus the final, sure something will be on the front if you wouldn't mind nosing over them. We were in ramsgate, barry deeks was on some proto raw killerv looking ish type frame. That issue and the final would be much appreciated! It was the very first year they did it, might have even been 1999???? anyone remember? Thanks

xbox---- steamingpack !

brakeless. I just don't get it......how ????????????? Awesome vid mate, simply because I saw you nearly destroy yourself on that wall ride to manual I felt pretty chuffed for you when you nailed it. And for smile factor, liked the up to ring grind bit that I think you went back out of fakie? you sir are a wizard.............

thanks mate, will pm him now! or not.....can't find him on autofind in the email, what is his screen name? Thanks

hi if your still doing this I've been thinking about a tat as a reminder type thing. Been pretty ill the last 2 years, 3 operations, maybe 5 ambulances and 10 or more stays in hospital. Was thinking of something to remind me that as bad as it ever gets, and it has been pretty bad at times, I can pull mysef through, light at the end of the tunnel type thing. I've been searching for some zen like quote about power from within and something about living for the now etc but seen so many I'm quote blind! thinking it will go on my chest or forearm, somewhere I can read it when I need to. Also thinking about kids names and birthdays as they have really pulled me through it at times, have no tattoos currently, looking for something understated and stylish instead of huge and in your face. Girls names are Olivia Niamh 16/10/2006 and Faryl Dulcie Jayne 27/11/2008 thanks dude

Hi Guys Was wondering if anyone has a pile of issues with the first hop idol series in? I was in the round at ramsgate with tom newbold, dan peppin and stefan marshall with barry deeks. Was telling my daughter about it the other day then realised I have no idea where the copy I kept is The year was either 2000 or 2001. Be grateful if anyone can help, lost another dj magazine I was printed in as well......very cross.... thanks Kevin

This. I've toyed with them in the past but felt it changed the feel of the lever to much for my liking.

thanks for looking. Putting v's on my twenty four and wondering if it's worth getting speed dial levers or some fr5's or similar. I've only used sd levers for a long time and like them but not sure i actually use the sd as i run the pivot at the top of the adjustment, where it would be on normal levers? Anyone used both recently and can offer an opinion. Will be running a bb7 and probably an avid rival on the back. Thanks

the 24? Search it on tarty. Think they still stock the frame kit?

I'd say 5 at best. My year started off on the right foot after a very bad year before. In 2010 i started getting ill in february and from then until august ended up in hospital 6 or 7 times, twice on blue lights. It resulted in me needing 9 hrs of major abdominal surgery and a two week stay in hospital which was hard as my girls were 2 and 4. 8 weeks later another 4 hours surgery and 5 more days in hospital (which totalled more than a month for the year). After both ops i was blue lighted back to a and in serious pain. But it finished well as i had a 2 week rehab course through the firefighters charity and it made me stop and look at my life. I worked flat out all the time, it made me realise i needed to make time for myself, which is a big part of why i'm riding again. Started this year feeling fitter than ever. Built myself an old levelboss with respectable spec and was enjoying that and a new found enjoyment in the gym. Got back on station and started to drive the pumps at work to shouts as i qualified shortly before my operations. But then i tore the ligaments in my ankle and was off for two months after only 10 weeks back. That meant no riding for nearly three months as i didn't want to damage my ankle again. The next couple of months i started getting pains behind a scar on my hip which left my leg seriously weak. I woke up after a night shift to find a big lump on my hip so went to a and e to get it checked. I got out 5 weeks later at the end of september. Not being home with the kids that long was heartbreaking. I'm still off my bike and work at the moment due back next month. In all this time i've found an armchair passion for cycling which i stopped years ago. Last year i trawled forums to build the koxx, this year i've spec'd an ashton effect quite well. Might do a start to finish of my bikes in bike pics when its finished. It's been a torturous period for my family and i. I have my own family, home, amazing friends and a job i love but illness has stopped me making the most of it, but at the same time shown me how loved i am by my amazing wife, who's not once complained about having to take on the extras i cant do, and my beautiful little girls who continue to thrive as children at a difficult time. Without them this year would have been a 1, if i can stay healthy next year will be a 10 More rehab planned for feb so hopefully riding in april again. Just read all this back, sorry, gone a bit deep! Please excuse poor grammar, i'm typing on a touch screen tablet ( that my watch bought me whilst in hospital so i could skype my kids ) and it's a bit fiddly!

am i a bad person? I got half way through the matt gilman and closed it to watch this again.......

As above, maybe the pads are becoming harder with the cold and are less pliable so wont bite into the surface so acting like a dead grind?

sorry mark. Was using my phone and didn't realise i was quoting you. Was merely a suggestion of a good deal on what i think is an ideal helmet and not a counter to your suggestion

i just bought a specialized vice from cyclestore.co.UK for half price at 39.99. Ordered Friday afternoon and it arrived next morning. I picked it as it's an all mountain helmet with extended coverage on the rear which i really wanted in case i was to loop out and catapult my head into the ground. Looks pretty good style wise and decent in the silver grey option

quite like the way you filmed that, was worried it was going to be all scene shots and then you started riding. Sorry to hear about your health. I've been so ill i've managed to ride maybe ten times since feb 10!

got a pin and the surrounds if you need replacement? will chuck in post gratis if you pm your address

stolen from where? location?

Wide base splined. Easier to change as it's a lockring not a cog in a vice between timber, no threads to damage. Only benefit i can see is that screw on will mean a lighter hub and therefore rear end?
