  1. Hey guys just posting up to say what a cracker of a ride I had in bristol with you lot yesterday. Was nice to meet some new riders and have a really good day out! will hopefully catch up with you guys in the near future.
  2. tarty bikes are the sh*t!!!! simple as one of the best companies i have ever dealt with, the stuff is always on time and always unbeaten on price and quality! thoroughly recomend to anyone.
  3. hey guys i have rounded 2 threads on the crank. Has anyone rethreaded a crank? do you just thread to the depth of the bashgaurd or go all the way through? 6mm thread over the original 5mm. whats the best method to insure strength! cheers guys!
  4. its possible matey i always re tap the thread to with abigger diameter to ensure the bolt with hold in! for e.g. normal brake bolts are 5mm diameter i would re tap it with a 6 or even a 7mm diameter to get rid of the old lose thread leaving you with a strong fresh thread.
  5. its all about ur imagination and balance with them both im sure you can do anyting. When you start looking at things as a challenge and not as scary you will progress. I used to not try things as they were scary or dangerous, but you have to see them as challenges just waiting to be conquered.
  6. i mangled a race face bottome bracket a few years back matey they said it was covered for life! but not on certain parts of it so in the end i baught a shimano budget one and have used them ever since they are like battle tanks! i would recomend them to anyone.
  7. hey everyone i just bought a rear try all rear tyre as the hot s weren't working as good with the wider rims as they were with the thinner ones and by god these news ones are awesome. Very thick sidewalls and wicked grip i would definately reccomend buying them and especially from tarty bikes god i love buying from them, the stuff is always next day and always when they say it will be! i have ordered quite a lot with them the past 6 months and not one thing has been less than perfect! i would like to thank them all!
  8. you gotta love the useless waste of space! i had a bike and motorbike stolen from my shed a few years back i saw it a few weeks later stripped down to metal and i knew the guy was a drug dealer so i didnt bother going any closer! as usual the police dont want the paper work,so they are left to run the world!
  9. dude i had the same probelm a few years back when i snapped my first frame. I welded it and 3 days later it went again! i would definately reccomend just getting a new frame dude!
  10. im loving the black gu mate, but the only thing i would say to you is think of how it will look in 6 months time after a smashing! silver frames hide the scratches as best they can.
  11. I have had the same problems mate and to be totally honest i would just scrap the magura's on the front full stop. I would reccomend a hundred times round a good v brake. Nothing will match a xtr front v brake! get some nice plazmatic pads for them off tarty baikes and your onto a winner! as for the front magura my crm plazmatic pads worked ok! but nothing compared to my v brake which is only a little avid with cool pads, so im sorry dude but i wouldnt carry on with magura's especially seeing how easy it is to set up v brakes.
  12. For his age, size and build he is very good im sure we will be watching his talent grow through the years!
  13. im currently riding a Gu Typhoon 26" mate. Main components are chris king, hope, mitchellin, magura, fatty forks etc etc.
