  1. I knew I would persuade you to get the Leeson! You know it makes sense! Clem will be super jealous when he sees you have a standard seat tube and seat :P Grow up.
  2. Found out myself guys. In Flames - Reroute To Remain
  3. Hey, anyone found out the song in the brakeless guy's vid (3rd one down)??
  4. Really enjoyed that, nice and chilled, makes me want to go and ride :( Good stuff!
  5. Someone I ride with has been running cut-in-half biro springs in his XC for about a year now, with no problems. It's absolutely stupidly loud though! Not sure if it would work in a bulb due to the smaller teeth inside the hub. Be careful if you do try it!
  6. Looking very good guys, if it reaches production I'm sure everyone will know a lot of effort has gone into designing and testing, unlike many other companies out there! Keep up the amazing work, things keep on getting better!
  7. Those Arospeed wheels go like that because they have no sort of laquer on them. They are an extremely high quality wheel, so they are nice and polished simply due to the way they are made, unlike many other makes. A mate of mine just keeps them clean and applies wheel wax to them when he washes the car (more often this time of year) and they have been fine for ages. Bit of an arse cleaning wheels all the time, I hate doing mine (multi spoke wheels are a nightmare!) but worth it when they look as good as the Arospeeds.
  8. My Megane Coupe 16v Few specs: - Full stainless custom exhaust system, straight through - Custom made intake with K&N filter - Lowered 40mm on uprated springs/dampers - BK Racing 16" alloys - M3 Mirrors, Megane Evo spoiler, customised front bumper & grills, colour coded everything (now with tints on all rear windows) - Pioneer MP3 headunit, Infinity Components front and rear, Infinity 10" sub Not many more plans for it, I'll probably keep it for another year or so, then I plan on getting a Celica GT4.
  9. Loving the new site, very easy to navigate and nice understated stlying. Once the online ordering is sorted, it will be a superb site :)
  10. Good review I thought, doesn't seem super-biased like some sponsered rider's reviews on here :blink:" Glad you are enjoying the bike!
  11. Unlucky mate - hopefully you will be able to sort something with PX. Chris might have to keep an eye on his now (Y)
  12. Absolutely love mine. I think the shape is perfect. I find flat bars uncomfortable due to a dodgy wrist (broken a few years back) - with the Zoo's you get the control a flat bar offers, with the comfort of risers. Best of both worlds.
  13. Stupid yanks? If he didn't speak in the vid you wouldn't even know he was American... Comments like that cause so much shit between this forum and American ones. There's no need! Poor guy.
  14. Thoroughly enjoyed that vid, havn't seen one like it in a long time :D You can tell they have been riding for such a long time, they are both so smooth and controlled, even on tiny thin walls and rails. Muchos bike control. Great vid (Y)
  15. When I had my ET, the best combo I found was an Intense Fro DH 2.35 on the rear, with a Halo Choir Boy Lite on the front. I would only run an Intense or an IRC Kujo (you can get 24x2.35 - 3.0 is stupid) on the rear. The Choir Boy compound is very hard, not really suited to the rear of a trials bike. Adam built my 24's with a pair of Rhyno Lite XL's, and they held up to a good few months pounding.
  16. When will people see it's just riding bloody bikes...

  18. Wire brushing does not make it look "poo" at all. Have a look at my bike in the Bike pics section. Anyone who has ridden with me recently would agree. The Wet/Dry paper smooths over any scratches left by the wire wheel anyway.
  19. What you will need: Nitromors paint stripper - 500ml can should be plenty for a frame/fork A Power drill, and a Wire drill attachment Wet & Dry paper (240, 400 and 600 grade) AutoSol metal polish You can get pretty much all of that in B&Q, for not too much £££. Firstly, make sure you start early in the day. It does take a long time, but it is well worth it. You do not want to still be doing it as it gets dark, or inside, because you wont be able to see f*** all. 1. Do what it says on the Nitromors tin. Frames, especially Zebdi's, have very thick paint, so this part will take some time. You want to coat the whole frame, one bit at a time, not missing a thing. Once the frame is coated, leave it for about 30 minutes. Once the paint has bubbled, get the drill and blast all of the old paint off. Clean it all off with some water and dry it. There are bound to be loads of little bits of paint left, so keep repeating these steps until the paint stripper wont get any more off (trust be, there are always some bits!). 2. Once you have got to the stage where the stripper (ooer) won't remove any more, its time to attack the little bits with the drill. Its easy work. Once the frame has all been stripped, it should look a mucky aluminium colour. Wash it all down, and get ready for the worst part. 3. Starting with the 240 grade, wet the paper and rub the whole frame down. Its easier to do it one bit at a time, starting at the headtube, then toptube etc. You really have to make a good job of this, or it will look very patchy. The 240 grade will smooth the surface only slightly. Then its time for the 400 paper. Repeat above. Finally, the 240 paper. Spend ages on this, as it will smooth all the little grooves you made in the frame with the drill. I cant stress enough how very important this part is! 4. Last bit. It still wont look very shiny, but oh my god, you will be amazed at what the wonderful Autosol can do! Put some on a clean, soft cloth, apply to your frame, and voila - you should be able to see your face in it. If you have spent as long as you should have (ALL DAY!) then the finish will be superb. Thats about it. You dont need much of the Autosol, and whenever it gets marked with fingerprints etc, just use some to polish it up. You can see the affects of the above in the Bike pics post. It's a dodgy picture but you get the idea!
