  2. cheesr guys think i will go ahead with this disk
  3. hey, has anyone used this brake as i was browsing and saw it was pretty cheap for a disk brake and not on a mint budget , reviews or opions please. cheers
  4. cheers guys, i think ill get an xc 'cos i may be putting a disk on my tibo
  5. yo to all, as i am building up my planet-x tibo frame i am wondering if the hope mono rear hub i any good or is i tworth trying the hope xc.............. past experience and thoughts are highly wanted.... cheers
  6. turning into a vote zip ties are mint for everyday usage everywhere
  7. only for temporary until i get it helicoiled
  8. jubillee clips are amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! knackered up my brake mount on one side (one half of it) so went to the DIY store and got a 60p alternative to helicoiling so cheap and amazingly strong, ive heard of people using them to hold frames together so i thought they would do the job nicely...... lewis
  9. yo to all, What is considered the right height/strength to switch to stock? wanting to build my tibo frame which is sitting in my garage unused , im getting quite bored with my zoona and love how 26"ers ride, i am around 5 foot 8", not a weakling either; too small for stock???? thoughts and views will be greaty apreciated
  10. if you have that sort of budget, id go for the onza t-pro. At £400 its a bargain for an amazing starter bike. You can have this bike for ages, when you first start it will be great and easy to learn on, when you become a better rider you can upgrade the parts and will still be a suited for bike for your level........... mines lasted forever and its fine.
  11. if you've got the money go for the zona. its an amazing bike and if you're a lanky lad then it will feel mint for you and you'll be able to ride it like a beast................. ive had mine for a good couple of months and i still fall in love with it everytime i get on it in the morning.
  12. yo to all, right, crack is firstly, although i bought my ribos second hand they were in mint condition............ after about a month of pretty solid riding they began to show a bit of wear and tear, the side 'ankle protection' had become ripped and come off due to some unkown reason, ahem , so i came up with a bodge after multiple ankle cuts and gashes, so i got some old footy shin pads with the ankle bit and cut it off, the simply put this on underneath your socks and the put on the ribos, there you have your home made improved ribos. Job done go and admire your handywork and let others dwell in your amazing creativity hope this helped ...........also can you get replacement rachet bits?
  13. no need for them or even a rear cassette hub front freewheels are just as good and the tensiles are a hell of cheaper for more engagement points and the koxx freewheel is fifty quid for 108!! so forget about profiles and go front freewheel, they might not be as strong but you could buy 3 koxx freewheels for a profile....................
  14. hahahahahaha............. loving the little laugh at the end when he got up
  15. go for it if its £200 for the whole bike
  16. mine went to bike heaven but got re-incarnated with a bit of help from Dr.welder lewis
  17. hey all, as i have a planet x tibo frame sitting in my garage being unused i decided to start building it up with the spare parts from a scott YZ1. As i currently ride a mod i dont know anything about what mech to use for my project. Will any mech do or will i have to get a special one????? any help is much appreciated cheers lewis
  18. got mine yesterday, was amazing stright from the box
  19. hey all, was looking around on the various sites and saw the tensile bubblegum pads. Wondered if they were any good as my koxx bloxx are running a bit low on material. Opinions or recomendations are welcome Cheers lewis
  20. hey all, it all started when my headset/forks were making a creaking noise, cleaned other things then started on the freewheel took off the turny bit and out fell all the bearings and parts can anyone help me???? should i just get a new one??? cheers lewis
  21. make sure your not using the split link as thats usually the problem as they let the chain down being the weak link in the chain cheers lewis
