I ride what ever, depends where the southwest lot are heading! natural and street. got a 26" really starting to like more rolly moves but, yeah i do what ever and have fun!

damn.

sounds like you need a different adapter. is it definitely a 165mm front adapter your using? these forks may have a +20 adapter mount in which case you need a different adapter again.

ignore unnecessary comments? I never said you said you were going to drill your frame, i'm just telling you not to, as some others mentioned it. haha, i don't have a problem with anyone? especially when i've only met them over the internet, that's pretty pathetic.you seem to be the one with the problem. As i previously said, do not take anything that people say over the internet seriously, most of the time tone of voice does not come across well in writing? that is an incredible price, you actually going to go for it? considering you can only just see the rainbow titanium colour on the heads of the bolts? No, silly like my head bobbing action.

When asking a question on a forum expect controversial, differing opinions and answers. don't take people on the internet to seriously... if your going to save weight i vote for saving as much as possible, like 2 or 3 kg by buying new parts and it might actually make a difference, but rawing frames and drilling holes, is silly.

No, as it wasn't funny, i cannot tell whether you're joking. I'm glad you know how it works, most seem not to. Dan, is definitely just pro. it's probably just the placebo effect where you believe it makes a difference, in which case you (meaning the person who started the topic) should convince yourself that skittles are performance enhancing drugs and can make you ride with a kg heavier bike.

he's not talking about extremes here his bikes going to weigh around 10 kg i reckon. he's going to make a saving of 500g tops. That will make no difference. and until your up to a suitable level of riding there's no need to start changing parts. it's not like he's riding an Old Czar or something that weighs 12kg. if you're going to start cutting 20grams off your tyres or saving 100 g on new cranks or buying a pair of carbon bars, fisrt buy some pixie boots and lycra, and maybe wear a pair of shorts over the lycra trousers at a push (excess weight n'all) or go on a diet. but if you want to go for it, get carbon bars, lightest forks, echo SL cranks (maybe Zhi drilled one), onza pro diamond rims back and front, take up dual mag. monty pro race tyres front and rear. You ask a question on a forum to get feedback from a range of people, a discussion is need to come to a better conclusion other wise you'd always have a bias/one sided answer?

then spend time fixing your brake instead of drilling holes in your frame? 500-700 grams will 100% make no difference to your riding, and i know it. cutting nobbles off your tyres will not help you hop higher, saving 500 grams off the front will not make you gap further. Until you're almost at the top of your game weight will make no difference what so ever

Stop wasting your time and ride! it will make next to know difference to that bike what so ever.

There's definately natural talent in the sense that damon is strong. einstien is clever, Usain bolt was born with the ability to run fast. saying someone was born to ride trials or has true natural talent at trials, is wrong in my opinion, maybe somebody is naturally good at balance or timing, learning, strength. etc. if most of the riders on the forum were brought into and possibly even slightly pushed into the sport at a younger age then rode 8 years there would be a fair few at carthy's level. If you're stature etc. is very bad for sport, making you not very good at sport, of course you're not going to be a world class rider. I think most have the ability to be world class but they're not determined enough, not willing to work hard enough, haven't got the passion and most of all don't believe it is possible. It's all in the mind.

It's a good thing mike!, i wish my brakes would make some noise! lets you know they're working, generally quieter rim brakes don't hold nor bite that great.

yes. it's really quite simple when you get going. the most important bit is The rest is pretty self exlpanatory once you get going.

the idea of a subscription is to get more money. so why not just use more ads to get more money. You won't lose a load of people that don't want to pay and you won't have a few people being egotistical about how much dollah they've payed. there's no reason you can't use extra money from extra ads to do the same thing you were going to do with subscriptions/donation.

that's like saying Match of the Day doesn't cover the lowest leagues of football. my point is why, can the Olympics claim it's for "everyone" when they clearly disregard all the Paralympians by making them outcasts of the Olympics, why does the biggest sporting event in the world (which biggest selling point is "bringing everyone together"), cut out the paralympics from the main event. The answer to this I'm guessing is that the olympics was created by the greeks with their "perfect human body and mind" set up and they want to keep it traditional. which is a load of rubbish. Paralympians put in the same effort and commitment as Olympians why don't they get the same recognition.

This makes me angry. those English chaps, put a lot of time and effort into there design I'd say "shit stain" is far from the mark. someone spent a lot of time on that "shit stain" and it really isn't fair to disregard such people, purely because on a personal level you prefer the Rio logo. you don't even know who designed our logo or whether they even like frapaccino. I like the Rio logo though, the 3 people are cool I like the Blue one most he seems nice. I think far to much money was/is put into the whole Olympics. they definitely should have let a few kids design the logo and used the existing stadiums. I also think the paralympics should be broadcast nationally as well, I also think the Paralympics should be a part of the Olympics, it's not fair. I don't like it.

could you just add more adverts/spaces? tribalzine have loads! or can you incorporate Google ad-words? I have no idea about the ins and outs, but I read a "how to be a millionaire on the internet" book and the majority was Google ad words haha

when I got a limey as a semi replacement from rocknroll bikes. they told me to "put a bit of rubber on it" the only thing you can do is spend some dollah and buy a onza rear hub, which should bring the chain into the right spot. or a shorter BB this is a problem on all the limeys this is the same reason I sent mine back. you need a pretty specific set-up for it to work.

TGS was made up by Ali C. It doesn't really matter what they call it, if you enjoy it, do it.

i won't explode if you carry on riding it until you get a new one.

if you want to get bigger and better faster obviously the latter, if you want to be more controlled yet take longer to get as big, the first. I've always pushed my abilities whether I'd have the move dialled or not, as i enjoy the feeling of accomplishment haha. but if you want to progress fast the simple answer is ride more.

I find my normal monty eagle claw grippier than my try all lite tyre! but I mainly ride street!
