  1. I never had any problems with my KHE tyre. I wear tracksuit bottoms. Oh and I have a shoelace belt on my jeans. Exactly When you consider that that would be 37g off the front tyre, could be a lot more off the rear, maybe 100g-150, which to the weight conscious rider, is a lot of rotational weight to lose! Also, if weight isn't important, why are manufacturers constantly trying to release lighter parts?
  2. Thanks Ad, I should have mentioned that really. I would have thought that's right.
  3. I love short chainstays, usually have them between 350 and 355, and I love how easily the bike just sits on the back wheel. I'd say go for the Zhi!
  4. Been trying to catch a mouse in the least harmful way possible, but have now resorted to using a trap :(
  5. For the record, 1085mm wheelbase +45mm bottom bracket rise 375mm chainstays 72 degree's head angle http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Marino-24-trials-fra...A1%7C240%3A1318
  6. Except Macs have had two button mice for the last 4 years.
  7. Yo. After reading the T-UK thread, saw this dude had got a Hoesel bike, and put Ti bolts on it, including on his CK. So I went on the site where he said he got them, and low and behold, there they are. They're in the bottom left corner, you're looking for "Unified National Coarse (UNC) Ti Non-Taper Head US Bolts". From my research online I've found the following out: Chris King BMX hubs use 3/8-16 x 1" which are $5.90 each Profile hubs use 3/8-16 x 1.5" which are $6.50 each Shipping is $5 flat rate, no matter how much you order, and they can also anodize for only $2 per order, no matter how many bolts you buy, so if you wanna get pimp gold or purple or green bolts then they'll do that for you. The site is http://torontocycles.com/Selling/Titanium_Bolts.html hope this has helped some people out. The weight savings wont be massive (probably about 8-10g per bolt) but it adds a little pimp factor to your bike. If you want ti bolts for everywhere else, i'd suggest you use http://www.tibolts.co.uk, and for non critical areas such as lever clamps, or headset bolts, check out http://www.tastynuts.com, both UK based sites, which are very reasonably priced Hope this has been of some help to some people These WILL NOT fit HD Chris Kings, they use a different bolt size! They're for CK BMX hubs only! Jon

    Awesome awesome riding, for once a girl that can actually ride PROPERLY! I hate the way girls who ride like any average guy, get massive props just because they're a girl. Equal rights for women, if they ride like shit they should be told, but Janine rides really f**king well, wish her the best of luck on the competition circuit!

    After 30 seconds I decided I'm gonna download it instead of watching it on Vimeo, what a machine!!
  11. In the box iPod shuffle Apple Earphones with Remote iPod shuffle USB cable (1.8 in/45 mm) Quick Start guide Say what? http://www.apple.com/ipodshuffle/specs.html I know a lot of you think Apple are rip off merchants, but do you REALLY think they'd sell an iPod without the cable to even connect it to your computer?! How much f**king stick would they get for that?
  12. Or just plug it into your computer...
  13. Where the HELL did they get a mould of my cock from :|
  14. I saw that done a few years back, apparently it works amazingly but is a bit of a bitch to get set up right which is why hardly anyone does it any more
  15. Sounds perfect, I'll take one. 72º HA I assume? Just whack some pics up anyway Joe, you know you wanna
  16. Well while you're splashing the cash I wanna learn to drive and get a VW Transporter van
  17. Yeah I'm already running about 15mm so I'm gonna try a few more maybe put it up to 20mm . I need to get your right mobile number off you, I've got two Eskimo's in my phone and not sure which is the right one
  18. Haha I've witnessed the skipping, not good!! Yeah that's cool, no rush, but why you buying a 206 or is it a Saxo this time?
  19. All the folding BMX tyres I've seen need really high pressures (90psi+) to perform at their best, in fact KHE issue a warning on their site about the side walls possibly ripping if you run less pressure than that. Although it's a good idea I don't think there is a way that they could make a tyre with side walls strong enough to put up with such low pressures, and if they did then the walls would be so thick that it would weighing the same amount as a normal tyre anyway. It's a good idea though, and something I've thought about many times before, but as has been mentioned, there really isn't much of a marketplace for them. I guess you could probably produce a kevlar beaded 20" front tyre, but I dunno how well it would sell really, ideally it would have to have a MTB style knobble pattern, which wouldn't sell very well in the BMX marketplace. Sucks that they can get the Conti tyres down to 478g and the lightest 20" trials tyre is 515g.
  20. Hahaha nice one Heath Rob I could get you a nice brand new black Pro 2 for £120 through work if you're interested, and I'd be happy to build it for you too, or show you how to do it
  21. That front tyre could do with replacing looks nice though mate Really want my bike rebuilt so I can come out
  22. Nice riding, nice choice of song, Cunninlynguists are so good. A Piece Of Strange is one of my favourite hip-hop albums of all time.
  23. How much :$ Although I have just bought a new frame... we'll see...
  24. A standard corporate identity would be logo/business card/letterhead/compliment slip, that's just how it is, Craig just happens to have done 3 in quick succession by the looks of things.
