    enjoy it, i do... :D

  2. These 24UK's are slowly growing on me. I like this, not sure about your tyre choice though :P

    Lets see what other companys have to offer in the way of cheap (ish) 24's.

    the tyres cost me feck all.. i think they cost me 30€ which is aboooot 21 pounds, and they seem to work preety well, the Kenda stick E coumpuond is quite soft, so the grip is good :)

  3. here's my new toy..... :D

    RearWheel: Chris king classic HD axle and fun bolts on DV rim (unground), Kenda navegal 2.5 Stick-E compound

    Front brake: avid BB7 160mm (soooln to be 203 when the adaptor arrives) with XTR lever/cable

    the rear brake works suprisingly well considering the pad/rim setup! :rolleyes:

    Looks and rides like a beast B)

  4. got mine built up yesterday evening, got a blue/gold thing going on :- caled do you have problems with your tyre rubbing on the booster ? :huh: i'm running a DV fim with a kenda nevegal 2.5 and i had to modify the booster so it wouldn't rub! :S:( oh and it rides niiiiiiiice :wub:

  5. How much does it weigh?

    feck knows... :P i'll have a butchers on their site..

    EDIT: according to their site..."1275±70g" dunno what that little symbol means though...:unsure:

  6. i heard that leeson are going to get 24" chrome odyssey hazzardlite rims in, is this true? i've also heard that he doesn't ship overseas! can anyone clear this up for me? aaaaaaand does anyone know the price? :P

    ooh another thing.. does this.. lok alright for the rear?, the spec sounds descent.. "Downhill version has 2 ply construction, wire bead and STICK-E Compound for better grip" :)

    well i bought it, and it looks alright, nice tread pattern and a good volume, sidewalls aren't as thick as i was expecting :( but thicker than the DMR diggers, when i get my bike built up ill give it a thrashing :P(Y)

    oh and the price is very reasonable aswell..(well at lest over here :P ) it retails at 25 euros, which is roughly the same as the DMRs

  8. I reccomend sdg i beam seat and post! they are really good! the seat weighs 120g! and doesnt have weak rails to bend.

    LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!! he knooows what he's talking aboot, i've got the I-fly C, bloody light nice and compact, but still comfy, or if you want mega light (like 120 for a seat... :S ) then the I-fly, less material and a slimmer body, both excellent seats!, is it for a 24UK by any chance... :turned:

  9. I spoke to chris other weekend at nationals, yes it will be a ti frame, but i dont reckon it will be out to sell soon. He's just riding a Megamo radicl frame ATM stickered up with mongoose. You may of seen it in the lastest EARTHED 3 DVD. I reckon waynio would be able to give you more info soon.

    theee most ghetto old school bike i've seen B) the shit he did on that thing was amazing, people relly need to see this guy riding in the flesh! :o he made me get my enthusiasm back for trials :)(Y)
