    Sick Bail !

    Feel quite sorry for him really, tries hard and bites the dust hardcore . He looks pretty knocked out at the end there :\.

    Ot Pi

    I think that is correct. His dad wanted him to practice his motorcycle trials easier or something so he made him an improvised bike i think? He is pretty damn good especially how heavy and old those bike are .
  3. A dampening on the outside of a bashring would be really decent, as you dont damage anything, so then police have no reason at all to move you on .
  4. This. Would like to try this but cant afford it properly .
  5. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/bb_spares/reset_bottom_bracket_cup/c103p11321.html Theyre out of stock atm but says they are on order. They are pretty cheap though considering the BB is like £100.
  6. No lol i read it properly with the intention of helping....Look at my post, i evidently didnt help after reading it
  7. Fking gay to troll to be honest, i actually read it properly to try and actually help :\. Pretty annoying really.
  8. Think the fronts are heatsink yellows with normal plastic backings, and the rear are coutsinks. Do you mean the axle bolts were too thick to even go into the dropout o.O? And how come you couldnt run 18/15? Could you not just take out a link if its too long or put one in if its too short? Or are the dropouts just retardedly designed?
  9. Those were just your quick training clips . Would like to see a vid you make over a few days, getting the best of your riding, should be insane . That last gap was biigg.
  10. Me gusta mucho . Nice gap up to front off that brick thing . Seemed like you pulled a move out of that fail at the end there if you landed back on the pedals that woulda been sweet.
  11. But he says he cant fit a bashring onto his cranks, so he must not have been running a bashring before, so i guess he will have the same chainline? I see what u mean by shunting the whole bb over a bit, but its not really that thick so you probably wont notice the diff? I didnt but ive only ridden once since taking it out o.O.
  12. i had it, you just put it between the frame and the cup of the BB. It works alright but the bb cup kept coming loose for me, so had to tighten it all the time. I didnt notice any difference in my chain line, as the freewheel is on the splines, and my cranks went just as far on with or without the bashring there o.O. I didnt like it as it kept coming loose though.
  13. I actually read the whole thing and it makes no sense to be honest. What are you trying to teach? How to bunnyhop your bike....? Whats with the fancy equipment, and farenheight is a measure of temperature so... :\
  14. you already made a topic and i already left a hefty reply to it :\.
  15. I had this, try going into powersave options and there may be something stopping it there, try a different powersave option, or if not it may be the USB ports not allowing it to sleep (as it was with mine). Cant remember how i fixed it, but you need to go into some sort of options, maybe power management? then on every USB port, right click and manually select "allow computer to sleep".
  16. Get a red headset . Looks nice still though, i would try and tuck in the derailure (sp?) a bit too .
  17. As you dont know what it is, you probably dont understand what other people are saying, about flex and such. Ill try my best to explain; When you run a rim brake, such as Magura HS33's or a Vee, when you squeeze the brake the pads push against the rim. Just as the pads push against the rim, the rim pushes on the pads (in effect) in the opposite direction (Newtons 2nd(?) law), and and as the pads are attatched to the frame on the mounts, an outwards force acts on the brake mounts. When this happens, many frames will flex outwards, which means some of the force you are applying through the brake is being used to bend the frame outwards, as opposed to pushing (and holding) the pads onto the rim, so you loose some braking power. A brake booster is a piece of metal which goes accross both mounts on the frame, so when you pull the brake leaver, the booster stops the frame flexing outwards, as they are very stiff in the plane the force is acting, so alot more of the force you are applying goes into actually braking, so you get a better feel and a better brake. If you jump off your bike, stand behind your bike preferably, and look at your brake setup, squeeze the brake really hard, and you will see the pads touch the rim (hopefully ). Look to see the frame bends outwards when you do this. If it does, then you need a booster. You may have a 'built in' booster on your frame (it will look like a big guesset accross the seatstays area). A booster wont definitely give you a "better feeling" brake, as it may not actually do that much if your frame doesnt flex that much. Hope this helped, although its pretty long.
  18. Wow thats really nice. Is it just a because simple 24 or? Not heard of because TGS o.O.
  19. yeh i just thought the vat increased a bit later sometime. Of course they have to pass on the increased VAT, like every other shop/business will.
  20. You have to be a validated member and post in the classified section to sell/buy anything. Try again once ur validated.
  21. Exclusively shite design because no other company thinks this actually looks any good . Not a fan of the strange headtubing on the frames either, although its cool that they are introducing a kids bike.
  22. Whats happened to the pricing on the website? How come all the prices have changed to like £17.88 and stuff? Is that because of the VAT increase, where literally the added VAT has been added to the original price giving a strange amount ?
  23. Wow that kortz looks really nice like that. Dont really like the slate to be honest :\ blue + graphics are a bit gay...
  24. u say slightly longer than 150mm, the 221 kamel is 175x30, and i think the rise is 14mm but ill check on tarty, and when u say no more than 10mm higher than the echo, arent the echo TR like +25 already which is pretty high? If you ride mod then these are good, but maybe a bit longer than what your looking for?
  25. i think black would look best, but looks decent at the moment, not seen many raw ones around.
