  1. i have Heatsink blues on a smooth rim, they make a great noise, but today mine slipped massivley and i ended up on my arse, so i reccomend the heatsink pads, but with a grind
  2. Dude!!! tighten them up, before they get anyworse, if not they will end up like mine, and mine spin about half way round before they engage!, if it gets really bad apperntly you can use a coke can, cut it up and it you get it to the correct size wrap it on ur BB arm or inside your arm not too sure, but i dont belive this will work. hope this helped Al
  3. haha, id go for red, i wish more parts came in differant colours, although sometimes it can look tacky/ or like pick n mix!
  4. whats better about them compared to the Onza ones?
  5. i have some at the moment, but im an idiot and didnt tighten the bolts, so they are nearly un-rideable, but i cope, when i pedal with my left foot the pedal goes round by itself before engaging half way!, but i kick with my right so it doesnt affect me too bad. do u guys think Tensiles are better, because im buying cranks soon, so i need help in deciding! Al
  6. Im buying brand new i think, becuase ive had bad experiances with 2nd hand frames so far!
  7. what are everyone's thoughts on the Aorta, becuase at the moment its a strong contender
  8. sorry i meant Echo HiFi, but i have questions about the BB rise, how will it affect new riders, becuase i have only just learnt how to sidehop, and hopefully ill be able to front-tap soon!
  9. Hey guys, i need your help on choosing the right parts: For the frame i am undecided on these so tell me which is best for an beginner/intermediate taking into consideration im riding an ashton justice at the moment and i am 5" 10: Echo Team Keanny Beleay pro model Zoo! pittbull Aorta 26 another thing i dunno which i should get: Middleburns Tensiles Echo CNC arms also: Onza 30" handlebars or Echo handlebars also echo rims or onza hog? thanks Al any other suggestions are welcome, i just wanna see you personal preferances!
  10. Anyone up for riding leeds tomorrow in the day. Al
  11. im going with this guy, i own the tyre aswell, i have it on the rear (2.5) and a panracer xc on the front, cant go wrong with panracer's ive had 3 and they have never let me down, just don have them on the back, too small, only 2.1. Al
  12. hmm thats long, at the moment i ride a Ashton Justice, im 5" 10 so what u reakon guys? too long? Al btw thanks judge!
  13. hey guys, im considering getting a Koxx Coustellier 26" frame and wheels to go with it, i was wondering if you could help me out with: the wheelbase Where to buy it from how much thanks Al
  14. Hey guys, ive noticed that the Echo and Zoo sites are back up, and i dont notice any changes or updated news since then went down, does anyone know the reason they went down in the first place. Al
  15. Its all about HS11 Levers!! Only joking, 04 all the way, i feel that you persoanlly get more pull in it.
  16. id get one! but if i were you i would buy its brand new as i have had a lot of problem with 2nd hand frames, ive been through a mission that cracked at the forks, zebdi that snapped at the BB and a t-rex with buggared taper ub the rear brakes. i think that my next frame will be a Raven 1065 in pink hopefully or black, im saving up at the moment (really need a job) Al (sorry this really doesnt help) if you want persuading watch some of felix's vids.
  17. Hi, recently i have been having a lot of problems with my rear wheel, no matter how tight it is it moves and rubs with the brakes, im running a Mavic Ex721. i was wondering if you guys had any ideas. Thanks Al
  18. im 5 foot 10. recently i bought a t-rex, but found it too long so i swapped it for an Ashton Justice and thats great for my height, though i may go long on my next frame. Al
  19. boon what time u gonna get there, we should plan a time and meet. Al
  20. ok anyone fancy riding on sat the 4th? come on guys!
  21. i have found that CCL computors (www.cclcomputers.com) are very good for custom PC's. i got mine for about 650, but i paid a little extra cos im a gamer aswell, but i reakon you could get a decent PC from CCL for 450-500, just be wary of the VAT becuase that is not always shown. If you want to buy Software with your PC then that will cost you around 50 - 150 depending on weather its Home or Professional you want, if you are buying software with it then you would go for Silver Assembley and that is £41.13 (inc VAT) but if you have a windows disc at home then just go for Bronze Assembley which is £29.38. The only thing about CCL that i found is that it takes them a while to get the PC to you, i ordered mine and didnt get it till 2 months later, also be wary of postage costs. Al
