  1. KMC are good chains, I havent snapped one, vey good! Bottom bracket, Havent heard out of them, should, be pretty good as it Echo. Freewheel, Id have got for a Tensile! Well thats my opinion!
  2. Some people have too much money.......I'm just jealous! What kind of grind would you call the Light? Dead?
  3. Save up and get a ProII matey, Before I had a ProII I had a Mono. Its was okay! Skipped on every ride though. Sometime it was a bit too notciable. The bearing are good. Never changed them in about a year. The freehub body will soon get eaten though, as the cogs dig in. I've been running my ProII for a good 6 month now, NEVER skipped. solid engaments. Bolts are a bit soft though! (50p for hardend ones. Defo get them) I'm taking my apart and cleaning it tonight. So ill see how its doing inside! All hopes are pretty easy to look after, as you dont need tools to get into them, like Kings do (I think) All in all! SAVE UP! they are worth the extra money!
  4. I'll give sell you mine. Got pics,(£7) MSN me tonight. I'd say don't use a half link, (I can send you some of them too,) I did, and I think I done something to the internals of my hub, I'll find out later too. I'll let you no! Just that something happened and it was harder like I had a 17 tooth cog on (I run 18)
  5. MINT! Should have a massive ride some time soon! with Rob! I need to get riding! Ages since I had a good ride!
  6. _ Whats the wall like / \ or /\? Looks like its just goes to a point! It it was a point, would it not be harder?
  7. I wouldn got above 40 myself. I have a ong adamant and that has about 25-30mm seams very good for me, but is all a matter of oponion.
  8. What stem you running now? I'd say a Pazzaz stem. 120mm and 17o rise. Or something longer Echo do a 130mm by 15o rise. anything longer? Try-all!
  9. Pics look great! Got a bit bored and done this, Its now my Desktop
  10. I like riding in the hot! But best is when there s nice breese to cool you down! But yeah just ride you fannys!
  11. Iv always had a bike, but If had a RC Nitro car, Fishing ( :$ ), RC planes. But I've always had a bike. Not I have a trials bike, I'd never get rid of it. Just because i love it.
  12. Bottom Bracket. Id go for a SKF - 300 (£43.00). I have one and had no trouble. There not too pricey. Bit cheaper than that Truvativ Gigapipe DH. (£35) Cranks Middle burns. They might me a tad expensive, but they are worth it. Life time warrenty and that (£155) Front disk. Avid with out a doubt. Easy to fit, cheap, piece opf piss to maintain. All you'll need is a cable and a lever (£63.00) Plus lever £11 for a Avid SD7 Lever Rear wheel. Just for messin about. Hope XC/Mono, or an Onza Ronnie rim, with spokes. Qoute from tarty is £103. posted But if you want a better hub Hope ProII £130 for the hub, but there really good hubs. £155 posted with Ronnie rims and Sapim Race spokes Cheapest = £367 Most Expensive = £427 You could get away with cheaper cranks, for example Tensiles. or echo. Rim you could get a Alex rim, there only £20, But have a look at www.tartybikes.co.uk, all them prices above are off there. Hope I helped!

    Msn!

    well do something about it. reset ur comp. leave it for a hours or 2. Ur not guna die cause it dont work!
  14. Come to workington and ride!
  15. Right, I was trying to make my bike run tensioner less by putting a half link in, thing is the chain had a bit too much sag in it. So I put my old tensioner back on. all is well! Was out riding and after about 1 hour of riding it all suddenly goes stiff on me. Not that much a cant ride, but a little bit stiffer. like the chain is too tight, But the chain is fine. I pedal and it feel like I have a harder gear ratio. Kind of odd. What could the problem be? Inside the hub? I'll be putting my Rohloff back on with KHE chain and see if that sorts it out. Can anyone help me out? Thanks for your time!
  16. wheel?? If its a newly built wheel the spokes will "crack and click" as they bed in.
  17. If u want to keep ur seals, use the proper stuff, I rather like it. I had water and it f**ked the brake up after about 6 month, WD40 will rot the reals quicker or am I thinkin of GT85?
  18. LookS very very nice! how much did that set you back, If you dont mind me asking? AND whats the deal with its tail too. Wouldn't like to tuck and that go up my arset. or is thats whats its for!
  19. I had about 5 or 6 weeks off due to the fact that i had no brake, well i did, It was in school for my tech project. Been riding all this week and last, Improved so so much. Bar height sidehops (almost) so chuffed! RAIL gaps too! AND done a drop thats been bugging me for years! I hate not being able to ride though! New vid soon!
  20. 1, The car, 2, The rear tyre 3, The forks 4, Valve cap thing 5, The silver thing on the lappost 6, The rear wheel on the car 7, Front brake hose 8, Thats all i can see
  21. I want candy! 8/10 really good film! but not as good as black night, or Borat! there my favs!
  22. Avid is better than a magura front disk in my experience! AND if u had bothered to look at my newest post, you would have seen i run a £50 tensioner! and there was nothing wrong with my old mech. just bent it.
  23. COmment the other one FOOLS! ha ha ha Thanks for the comment though! Rides so nice!
