  1. I'm too shit to hop on walls yet, but I couldn't agree more with this
  2. Thanks man someone else just sent me those, but the ones I already have in are different, the ends are more squared off, I bought some that looked the same but they were too thick, it's hard to tell from a picture, so just hoping someone else uses the same brake and knows ...Also another question for people, I didn't notice this before, but the previous owner of the brake has snapped an allen key end in one of the bolts, how the hell am I going to get that out?
  3. Well I'm doing a bit of a service on my brake tomorrow and some of the bolts are bust.. But not too sure what bolts I need.. I've had a look on Tarty but can't find matching ones.. Its the bolts that hold the disc to the hub I want to replace and the brake is a Hope Mono 6 Ti.. If anyone can help find the right ones I'd appreciate it I actually bought some but they were too thick
  4. I know it doesn't, I mean I have a front brake lined up ready to go on, a Hope Mono 6-Ti, so I think that would look pretty good on it. I originally thought £200 was a bit steep, shows what I know
  5. Thank you both, could you give me a rough estimate to what its worth without the front brake? I already have one lined up but don't want to pay over the odds...
  6. I'm looking to buy it, as I already have a brake to go on the front, but not sure what year it is and I've been asked to make an offer on it by the owner. Can someone shed some light on it for me please? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160774989291
  7. Pretty good for that time frame, especially the little tail whip, that isn't easy (for fat people like me anyway ) Looking forward to more videos from you.
  8. I had a feel it might, but didn't know if their was anything I could attach to the frame. Looks like I'm going to need a new wheels and hub etc too then, maybe just leave it for now lol!
  9. Well I'm wanting to add a rear brake to my jump bike, but I've no idea if it's do-able or not, I've never had one on it yet so not sure. It's 26" wheel, not 24" if that makes any difference. Also, if I can put a normal rim brake on, which would people suggest? (decent enough but won't break the bank) Thanks in advance for any help.
  10. Well, due to my current financial situation taking a bit of a steep downturn, I'm considering selling my 2008 Commencal Absolut. And I was just wondering what people thought it might be worth. Quick spec of the thing I know but not great with makes... 2008 Commencal Absolut frame. Skyrite seat. Kona grips. Hope front disc (not entirely sure of the specific spec but can provide close up pictures for anyone who might know) 210mm disc. Forks originally off a Phase 1.3 trials bike. DMR V8 pedals. (paint job on front wheel isn't too great, the wheel was dropped before it was completely dry, but it will only get chipped and dirty anyway ) Sorry I can't give more information on it but heres a picture. Anyone know of just a rough estimate of what it would be worth to sell? Thanks.
  11. Excellent video, really like the guys style on the green bike.
  12. Good video, enjoy watching flatland from time to time. Love that last bike too, all black with white tyres... Schweeet!
  13. Just from my own experience and research, their not that cheap. But then again I only checked a couple of items so maybe it was just an the off chance. I always use PayPal.
  14. Yeah I used to love how my 1.3 rode. And I believe they are basically the same. In geo terms...
  15. Just wondering if anyone is using/has used this brake? And if so what do they think of it? http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/BSAVELIXR/avid-elixir-r-disc-brake
  16. My bike has changed a bit since the last picture so thought I'd post an update.
  17. OK thanks for that, I will take a look now. Do they accept PayPal? I always seem to find CRC (presuming thats chain reactions?) to be fairly expensive compared to like Tarty, or eBay shops and stuff, but I will take a gander anyway and see what I can come up with Also, liking that bike in your picture (Phase 1.2?) I had a 1.3, and really loved it.
  18. Sorry but I agree with this. And just a random question, but did you paint the front wheel whilst the brake and everything was on? The disc looks kinda pink to me
  19. Not bad riding for a disabled person.
  20. Definitely, I didn't notice any flex in mine (I'm a total novice like) but still didn't seem to flex with the little things I can do. I had them for about a year or so.
  21. When I had my Zoo! the bars on it felt amazing. I'm not sure what they we're exactly, all I know is they were made by Zoo! Brilliant bars, and didn't snap lol.
  22. Ahh, just because even though you said it wasn't meant to be harsh, it did sound it a bit like And thanks Also one more question to anyone who knows. Upon closer inspection of the rim today, I have noticed their is a grind going each way, so it has obviously had 2 in it's life. Does it matter which way I do this grind at all? Because the others go in opposite directions
  23. I didn't see it when I made this one, besides does it really matter if I wanted to make my own? Ahhh thanks a lot man, I shall take a look. eBay is pretty much my only form of buying stuff, or places that take PayPal anyway. Thanks for the help
