Riding 18-14 on 175mm cranks I think on my ashton, thinking about changing it to 18-13 for a bit more speed but I like 14t for grabby rocks and really slow wheelies. I think it depends on what your ridng if its palettes, streety stuff 13t is good but for natural riding 14t is nice.

Yeh it would, you just need to know how to take the sprocket off. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/media/guides/maintenance_freewheel_and_sprocket_removal/m1.html

Don't phases already have them?

They are a protection incase you smash the sprocket or freewheel and also protect your frame, you can use them to balance on but thats cheating (in uci anyway)

Ashton.

Ha it took me a while for that to register in my brain http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/4527857/ brakeless is even worse for bashers

+1 Proberly most of the people on here and pros ride quite a bit of mountain biking and its also an exercise that you can have great fun at the same time as getting fit so you don't get bored.

Hi welcome to the site, halfords sell clarks standard magura pad.

I voted once a month but I ride a bit of dj on mine so it gets pretty filthy I only really wash it with muc off if its been raining and I've been riding on the beach then the sand clogs up the sprockets abit.

The evo 2 adaptors only work with the magura boosters if you have a standard v brake mount spacing its about 80mm.

5. don't use the quick release thingy just use another bolt like the normal one, also try and get your hands on a another brake booster to double it up a single one is abit flexy

Had my Ashton like this for a few days as I was grinding my bashring, can't really wear baggy jeans with it though and trouser clips don't look good with skate shoes, kind of liked it though because even though the freewheel or sprocket can take a bit of a beating it makes you try not to bash your bike around as much so your smoother on pedal ups first time and other moves.

Zak the failed sheep dog, he has arthritis in his legs but he still manages to run up and down the glens near my house. He is on medicine though so he is getting better. He is a rubbish trail dog because he just stops to piss or put his stick down. his record is 13 voles in one walk

Cool I didn't know they was a riding scene in Morecambe, I used to live in Arnside, I think I remember there being loads of nice rocks down near some steps buts that a vague memory.

You don't need a new chain your current one is fine, as the zoot has horizontal dropouts you'll need to tension the chain properly when you get a new rear sprocket, only a rear sprocket is need, maybe look at a 13t it will be alot easier to pedal your journey and you can still ride trials although maybe not for power moves more flowy bmx moves but it is do-able.

I had to grind mine down quite abit as they bend in to the freewheel, kind of annoying really but it had to been done, I don't see why they don't come with cut outs.

I thought you could only get a free t shirt if you were buying one thing over £100 not lots of smaller priced things.

His arse bone proberly that looked mental.

I don't think thats a bail thats just getting owned by the ground, I think a bail is when you are riding something then you know your not going to make it and jump off and maybe hurt yourself, this thread just be called the Epic Fail thread or something.

Whats a bail then?

Not as good as the ones above but I never really get any clips of bails. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjQdVKL18xs

I used to have a really weird dream, i used to have the same dream over and over when i was younger about one of my friends dying of diarrhea on my old Lego box in a storage room in my old house, proberly the worst dream I ever had.

I only ever use it to talk to people who don't have msn or people I haven't seen in ages, what does annoy me about it is the random status updates and pictures people upload, like girls putting this is me looking fat when they are obviously not and status updates like I just ate some chocolate I just start deleting friends who annoy me in this way

Looks really nice, not too keen on the green stem how do you like them onza brakes did you get them off rock n roll bikes?
