Thanks I think i will go for a BBB 70mm x 35 until i can afford a hope stem And Isitafox i would but i can't stand welded stems, don't ask me why

Hi, Got my self an inspired skye but i am unsure what size stem to get? I plan to be riding a streety style of riding rather like sean watson with a mix of bmxey stuff. I have been told a Hope 70mm x 25mm is a good choice but i cannot afford a hope stem due to being on a very tight budget :/ What would you guys recommended out of either a 70mm x 35 or a 90mm x 35?

Meant to be sent as a pm as Bing asked about a swap, Sorry guys

I have loads of plastic backings brand new never used I planned to make and sell pads but its never going to happen - £30 posted for the lot

I will be working for Martin Bakers making ejection seats and other safety systems Can't wait to start just finished school today with one exam to go!

Thanks for all the help! For anyone else in my position going from secondary school to an apprenticeship instead of college or anyone that is interested I sent them an email they said that as long as you have a GCSE at a C or above in English, science and maths your BTEC equivalents will qualify

Thanks this is sooo good to know! Your reassurance has been very much appreciated

Yeah we had to do quite a few tests when we were there, hands on as well as academic which i did pass So you think i they will accept 4 A* to C and one Merit BTEC (Equivalent to a B )? Thats what i thought but GCSE do seem to be looked upon more highly than BTEC's so i started to have doubts

The apprenticeship is in engineering but i will be in quality control so it will be a good mix between Computers and Hands on work. The ones i currently have are - PE, Sports Studies and the one i am hoping to use which is ICT.

Thats a relief and yeah i said what subjects i took as it was one of the questions in an interview i had to partake in Anybody else's opinion on this matter would be very much appreciated!

It is on the agreement that i get my grades and i have just reached the panicking stage so i am becoming more and more paranoid by the second

Hi, I recently went for an apprenticeship and I got a letter back from them saying i have obtained one of the apprenticeships they were offering. I currently have 4 GCSE's at the moment (A* to C) but i also have many BTEC grades. So my question is will they accept a BTEC as one of the 5 required GCSE's? Thanks Adam

Non its just a matter of new seals which don't cost a lot at all but if I were you I would replacement the bore seal while you are at it aswell

Hi, I'm looking into getting some shin guards but i am unsure on how to measure my leg? So my question is what part of my leg should i be measuring to get the correct measurements? Thanks Adam

Measure it with a vernier to get the exact size if you don't have one im sure if you take it to a store that sells bolts ect or an engineering place they would measure it for you

Looks Proper nice how much are these frames?

Thanks for the tips i will look at the video aswell I may aswell use the alloy one as you say it works well Thanks Adam

Thanks I will defiantly try this before I get rid of the booster was it carbon or alloy as I have both to try 05 slaves on a sl body with 05 internals 05 slaves on a sl body with 05 internals Ok I will try again, and any tips?

Thanks alot guys i will try the brake without a booster and i will ask ali to re-grind my rim when he gets a chance as admittedly mine wasn't the best Is investing in a 4 finger lever worth it? how spongey does it make the brake feel? Thanks Adam

Maybe i will give it another grind this one is only a week old though !

It wont hold when im on the back wheel The clamps themselves are fine

Hi, Recently switched to Magura due to the echo 24 frames not having as disc mount but it keeps on slipping?
