Yeah, Heatsinks sound like a good shout, they were mint on my HS33! And as much as id like a 'pimp carbon booster' I can't justify £25 on one

Having just brought an Onza Zoot and having a few rides, I now realise the rear brake is wank. What would be the cheapest/ best way to make it reliable? Im assuming the initial changes that are needed are new pads (Which ones?) and a booster. Would this be enough to reduce the amount of time I spend on my arse?

The story: I was a dick, didn't open the tripod legs properly, camera fell over and landed on the lens. The End. Funnily enough, it wasn't a happy ending. The lens now wont retract and the rear screen doesn't appear to be working. This is the camera. How much would you recon it would be to fix? Or does it look like i'll be buying my mate a new camera...

Just got my bike back after a weeks riding in Scotland, the riding was amazing! ...Though I could probably live without the uphills. In the end I went for the original bar/ stem setup as the DMR/ Scott stuff felt wayyyy to twitchy in the air for me. And with it being a pretty short frame anyway, the long stem seems alright. I think that is all the building/ changes im going to do for a while so here's some parting shots

Thanks for all the help, the money has been sent so I should hopefully have a brand spanking new (ish) Zoot on my way in the not-too-distant future!

Also, how long does it take until his PayPal account can be used so I can send him the money?

He's just made a PayPal account so that's taken away a lot of the hassle/ worry, he also comes across as a sound guy so I don't think Bank transfer would have been to much of a worry. He's taking a load of pictures for me later so that should hopefully mean he has the actual bike It's from the site 'Preloved', which doesn't appear to have a feedback thing. I guess when he emails me the pictures I can Google the email address and see if anything comes up (Facebook, Company, Twitter, Pornhub etc...) Whoooo new bike time!

Im going to give him a ring at some point to help suss out whether or not he sounds genuine, but what questions can I ask? I already know the bikes in mint condition so cant really talk about that particularly...

I asked to pay via PayPal and got this reply - 'thats great! i dont have a paypal account im afraid but i do realise your worries about this kind of thing. i prefer a bank transaction personally , cuts out the middle men as it were im happy to mail loads of pics to you sometime tommorrow but i can assure you it is 100% mint! i hope my lack of paypal is not a huge problem mate , if it is i can make an account i suppose altho i would prefer not to. Anyway its a deal matey , £325 inc postage. ' Now im assuming to safest way would be for him to make a PayPal account, but would that make me come across as a bit of an arse if I got him to make one? And if he is willing to set one up, how long does it take(Really cant remember how long it took me) before I tell him it only takes 5 mins when in actual fact it takes days...

It's looking as if I have found the bike I want, though to prevent being scammed again, I want to be a bit more thorough on the information I gather. The bike is going to have to be posted so all contact will have to be over the phone/ email so what sort of questions/ information should I be asking before I be sending him the monies?

I'm pretty sure my cousin and his mate did this if you want me to find anything out...? Edit: He definitely did it

Yes... Once I get another bike!

It's a spare one of my mates so im going to see what its like and go from there

Boom. New forks, stem and bars!

It's designed for 100mm, either way I've just brought them so I shall see on Thursday how it looks/ feels EDIT: I may also get a shorter stem/ wider bars... its a good job im selling my trials bike.

Apparently animals have been let out of London Zoo? Someones just posted a pic on FB of a tiger in a street...

Ok, so maybe the upgrades aren't completely done The forks feel just that little bit too short so i'm looking to get some longer ones. Iv been offered some Rock Shox Revelations for a very good price and im sorely tempted! As they are adjustable between 100-130mm it gives me a certain amount of travel range, but what kind of travel would potentially kill the frame?

Because it won't remain August all year...?

I just poured some in until I thought it would be enough. I used the Revolver guide and its worked perfectly!Now to get selling this thing...

Ok, for cheapness, availability and the fact its a free insertion weekend on eBay i'm going to bleed it with water. How much anti freeze will I need to put in the sink along with the water to make it freeze proof?

I'm getting really pissed off with the amount trials is costing me and therefore looking to sell up. Last time I went out, a friend kicked off the crossover pipe so the brake needs to be bled before sale, so my question: Will bleeding the brake with water (And therefore saving money)reduce the appeal/ potential sale price of it? Or will bleeding with oil be more 'attractive' new riders and therefore have a bigger potential market and be worth the cost of the oil? Cheers Chris

That could be a slight hindrance to the plan Mine has started finding servers now though But in the mean time im about to play if you wanna join session...

Mine doesn't seem able to do that either, I have to go into games which are in my history or join a game someone else is

I assume this is because I have always played consoles and never PC, but I hate playing using a keyboard. Pad ***!
