  1. Me too! i was 25 a few weeks ago and had a few years off with injury, back riding again now and gettin better than ever before and also enjoying it a lot more. Old ***! ha
  2. The Ns is a really nice bike and flows through trails really well, not tried hopping on one though and their fairly weighty, but STRONG! There are that many brands and kinds of bikes/frames out there now that gone are the days of dropping the seat on whatever you had in the garage and doing whatever you fancy on it that day.
  3. Deffo on this Adam! Let me know if i can be of any assistance in anything.
  4. From past experience Iv found king races to be quite a loose fit on some forks. Try perhaps shimming it with a coke can?
  5. Iv found 18:13 spot on too Prior to that i ran 22:14
  6. Hay man Just gave my man a ring that i use and he says yeh no problem doing them, £53 plus vat and postage though Think Im gonna wear 2 belts from now on if you know what i mean! I know that was a little random but just incase you wanted to know a ball park price, think thats about the going rate. Perhaps look for a local sand blaster or engineering service, the will strip them for you i would guess. Saves a lot of mess Or, gasket remover apparently http://www.choppersurplus.com/global/articles/howtoremovepowdercoating.html Hope this helps
  7. Id go with that also, just run a chaser through it a couple of times nice and slow with plenty of cutting fluid on, or if you can get hold of an actual bottom bracket tap (ones used to cut them from scratch) then try that. You might get another .05 - .08 out of it, still be a squeeze with the sound of it though. Good luck mate Always a bugger when things like this happen
  8. Ditto mate! What pads do you run?
  9. Hay man. Might be a twisted frame, or might just be that one drop out is slightly deeper than the other. Its tricky to measure either. There could be just more paint in the top of the drop out perhaps? Have you tried putting the wheel in the opposite way around? that could eliminate a bent axel or show that its just one of the drop outs? Hope this helps.
  10. Hay.

    Noticed your from sunny Surrey mate, are there many decent spots to ride? My misses lives down there you see an ill take the bike next time i go if there is.

    Cheers

  17. Id go for the Hs33 front and it doesn't really matter what pads you run, its like sticking a stick in the front wheel I got converted from a disk a few weeks ago, epic!
  18. Blow torch them till there red hot< the the whole thing glowing hot. Get em on some 180 grit and put your rotor in the dish washer always a winner for me.

  20. Every custom frame is tailored to the rider and i use only the best materials in my frames, this does not include cro-mo. My frames are also made to a 0.2mm tolerance on tube alignment, with all the threads / bearing interfaces being faced and reamed before shipping. Price wise, skys the limit. I will be more than happy to quote you on your specific needs Cheers
  21. My Name is Peter Wright, I hale from Nottingham, and i make exceedingly good bikes! Thanks Isitafox, ride this week and you can have a play! Oh and another thing, im sorry if the site is really buggy/not working, still doing some work on it. Thanks for looking though It not be long till its all singing and all dancing.
  22. I produce custom frames, 100% british from the highest quality material around. Rather light too. Drop me a line at info@wip-bikes.com for more info.
  23. Custom options are available:) If someone wants a custom model, i like to see how they ride so i can offer the best advise and produce the best frame for their riding style and what they want from the bike. Thanks for that court. We'll get together and get yours rolling, and certainly ride soon. Prices start from £349 but as the sky is the limit on what i can produce, it makes it hard to price. It wont be 100 miles away from the base price though:) I can draw up a few options if you wish. Drop me a line at info@wip-bikes.com for more info Thanks again guys! There all tig welded inhouse. The Superlight will be a mix of 853/953 and T-45. Can give you a price and weight on it if you wish. Drop me a line at info@wip-bikes.com and ill see what i can come up with.
