+1 for Basingstoke. Should be there for 10/ 11 @train station.

I am tempted for the Basingstoke trip. Any good spots/ many riders

Hi there I'm getting back into riding after a 4 year break. And. Just looking for any riders around the aldershot area to ride with and improve my riding

Anyone fancy a ride London Waterloo and surrounding areas on Sunday 14th April around 11am at the shell center / London eye

conti mountain king race sport or maybe one of there super sonic tires at under 500gr for the front, rubber queen on the rear. currently the set up im runnin for street and natural, i must say i feel they offer more feeling than the stickys or a baron/kaiser as the thinr sidewalls give u more feedback ,also give a little more spring as the rebound a little faster but u do need to be smooth as they dont offer much punture protection also works out at a pair of tires for under 1.3 kilo the weight of rear sticky

my limey stock quick spec limey frame king headset urban forks tryall cranks and freewhel tarty bash with extra long slots dmr vault pedals ti axels ti bb rubber queen rear mountain king race sport front viz single skin on echo tr disc hub holes filed out echo urban rear with 64 extra 10mm holes drilled trialtech bars weight on a butchers scales 9.86kg

Im right foot for football kickboxing etc but im lefty in trials skateboards and snowboard strange on my bike i spin left but a board i spin right

My spelling and grammer may be crap but my riding more than makes up for it i was simply asking is it worth the extra 95 to save 70 grams

Kinda what i was thinkin plus runnin a 116 hub would be lighter than a 135 and probly abit stronger too now to decide between getting the pure in 116 or the sl in 116 as the only diffrence is 70 grams

Yes but u get whats called mod stock which a few companys are starting to build more of im just wondering if aside from the abvious if it would.be stiffer than a 135

Right im back afer a new frame again do i go pure or sl also any benifits from going 116mm over 135 is 116 stiffer/ ligher etc

Thats good to hear just means riding with a stupidly hard tyre when i normally run 20-25 lol

That it what im curretly doing lolleving it at 70 till i get my new frame then building a seccond stock lol 1 for me and 1 for the wife only thing is i got all the good parts and she got the spares.lol

Done that one lol used tyre soap just incase it was griping somwhere bu no joy

After recently getting a rubberqueen 2.4 i noticed that once fitted that the tire was not true its beaded correctly all around but as soon as u spin the wheel u can see a wobble to the tyre in 2 places and i know.its not my wheel the only way i have managed to get it to spin true is puttung 70psi in it theen soon as u let it down the tread wobble is back has anyone else had simular problems

The military is great if ur a selfish person, my wife is currently seving as a medic and she is currently on tour in afgan and i have to say being the one left behind is torture for all the family. Evan though the army does eveything they can to make it easyer it still does not help a great deal and causes alot of stress especially when u dont hear from them becouse something has happened to someone and there all on lockdown

Has anyone ridden them scince the changes arw they still snap happy or should i get the urbans and not worry abought the weight

Im up in the nort east for abit so.im fancying a leeds ride if anyone is up for it (mike winton) get ur ass out for a sesh the more the merryer normal places apply and meet just outside the station on the white ledges say around 12 ish

As long as u get the correct steeretube diameter and lengh u should be set thats the most important and depending on ur syle of riding i would run no more than a 180mm fork assuming its a full sus if u only xc /a all mountain probly 140-160 mm would be more thwn sufficant

Gonna try runnun a 05 maggy lever to.see if there is a mechanical advantage depending on piston ratios would a smaller master increase or lower the pressure at the slaves and vice verser for.a larger master

As i stated at the start of this topic i am just experimenting with diffrent fluids to.see how the brake feel changes and i thought i could share my findings with people aand yes anti freeze is.great and maintains the same feel as water becouse of the low viscosity and yes cooking oil is thicker than blood and causes a slower lever ferl but im looking for somthing where i can have a fast and responsive lever feel with no squish that u get with most hydro brakes my next one is to go braided hose to see how much diffrence thwt makes

Yes its minrel and as far as going down hills its fine aslong as u brake sections ie on off on offf on off etc not like we pick up much speed anyway lol been using it everyday scince the bleed also been over my local woods wich is quite front brake intensive ( they hold diffrent motorcycle trial events there) rode a few of the sections and yet to have any problems i may see if re bleeding it with cooking oil will give the same feel as water but have better lubrication and heat dissipation dunno but its worh a bash lol

Lmao i still have this on vhs i remember buying it when it first came out back in 98 lmao cant belive i actually learned to ride from this lol im gonna have to dig it out and watch it again
