  1. Am i wrong to like it? Lol i irde mod, and my bike is currently polished naked frame, i was wanting a sunburst kind of orange from day 1 before i knew who the hell danny macaskill was lol, being in the sport more than 24 hours i now know all about him, dont worry, but i was thinking blacking all wheels and hubs, i arent going to gwt looked at as being a wannabe am i? As its mod and not street style stock size-ish

    You all got me paranoid now lol

  2. here you go, have you got a better camera? i couldn't go round spokes because of pixelation etc, so theres plants growing out of your rims 30,000 feet up unfortunately, while since i mucked about on there, good to get my head around again, better pic better results mate.

    i am actually crying laughing here!

  3. What Ive always noticed when people are trying to learn to keep the bike on the rear wheel, is that they dont bend their arms. Keep your elbows bent and pull the bars up towards your chest, bend your knees and keep your hips over the rear axle; you shouldnt be expending any real effort to keep the bike up on end, that lets you concentrate on your sideways balance and movement to compensate :)

    ive also been doing that from time to time, like pulling too much on bars so hanging back and arms straight, not good, links in with what others have said by trying to keep arms separate of body to maintain balance and still create the hop, thanks :-)

    Hahaha! Was there? Jesus, the camera crew should of panned back abit more to appreciate that, that must of been what it was :P

  5. Ive got magura yellows on atm, with hs 33 about to bleed with water/ cutting fluid see if that can improve hold, mines on a really old grind that i bought it with, so i might have to renew that but the hold has improved purely by putting the yellows on i dont know if theres a softer one but i like them,

  6. Cheers man i'll go and try that when it stops Raining :(

    I have awall about 2 foot thats perfect to get the wheel on then you can get settled then start hopping more easily, without the pedal problem and without all the problems rocking can cause, get more learning time really, picnic benches or outdoor seatings all good for it too

  7. Is this as simple as its the wrong chain? I was out on my XC just started a trail and boom, the chain went, luckily i could get to a road and coasted to the onsite bike shop, and bought an sram 9 speed chain, i fitted and got on with the trail, but the small set was unusable over anything slightly rough.

    Im useless with setting gears, im just learning all the setting up now as ive never had a bike with more than one front crank before,

  8. Ive started a thread nearlly identical in the beginners section called rear wheel hopping, give that a look, some good lads coming in with some useful little tips, i was so close it was the tiny details i was missing, hope it helps
