they are good, but not worth the extra cost. I found them to be quite wide, making setting up harder........the bearings get rougher which can make the brake pull one side more than the other..........they don't have any play which can actually reduce power...........all the bits (springs etc) are seperate items making them easy to loose. I say stick with SD7 arms or use new shimano lx or xt arms (non linkage ones)

I have only seen a couple of episodes.....do we know what the black cloud thing is yet?

welcome on board team mate! This is great news, they did well picking you up!

... for trials. But Koxx Days is about so much more. There's nowhere at Lee Mill for decent camping (with facilities), flatland BMX, Unicycling, Dirt Jumps, Street BMX/Scooters... We are definitely up for running a similar event in the UK but finding a venue is something we haven't been able to do yet, and I guess that would be the first stage... Any suggestions welcome! Edit: Bloody Ali signing in on the work PCs

sections were haaaard yesterday, hoping I will ride better today though. Its cool to see so many UK riders there, world domination here we come

Vees actually have more power but require more maintenance and have less bite, but the sheer holding power is amazing!

I hate noisy people when your trying to sleep! People who piss directly into the water in a toilet, its really loud and splashes everywhere! Bad drivers Grumpy people on phones People who think they are right when they are wrong People who don't pick up after their dogs....DON"T OWN ONE IF YOU CAN"T CLEAN AFTER IT! People who follow fashion despite looking retarded People ignoring you People pestering you

I am interested, will update when I find out if there are any comps on that week.

I recken a low mod stem would be best, either a trialtech forged, try-all NUC or Monty 219 if on a budget. I think the Hifi stems will all be too low and make the bike ride worse.

I love dips, I am a right dipper!

my code is: 18-16 with 170mm cranks 18-15 with 175mm cranks (what I run) The first option is good for ground clearence and is a slightly lighter gear, the 2nd option is good for more power but at the loss of clearence.

Thats a light but sharp grind. I think I'll use maybe one or two rims in a year, depends if I bash them really, but I get them through sponsorship, so thats one less thing for me to worry about.

quite

a carpark

interesting pads of course

I grind around every 2 weeks

I would like company, but I am sleeping in my car, so unless you payed for petrol and found us a hotel, it aint happening!

a little bird told me about some pads in the pipeworks that will interest you

I am on about 15 psi on the rear and around 17-19psi on the front

lol, I am pretty sure its still illegal! Looks like I am going on my own now, catching an over night ferry from hull.

Maxxis were the tyre of choice, but now continental are bringing out some REALLY good tyres that walk all over maxxis! if you want to save weight, get the rubber queen. If you want the ultimate grip and puncture protection, wait for the rain king or De Krauser, they are stupidly good!

But then I have a 5 hour drive:( anyway, it looks like iolo won't come now, so I'll be on my own, that means I could get an earlier ferry going and a later ferry returning, but I would be on my own which is a bummer:(

aaaarrrgggghhhhh getting stressed now! The only ferry I can find thats any good is an over night one from hull, however it gets in to Zeebrugge at 9.30 on saturday morning, you have to sign in for the comp before 11! thats cutting it close. Also I will have to be back in Zeebrugge at around 5.30 on the sunday after the comp, again cutting it close! And now the bloody P+O website won't seem to take my booking!!!!!!!!!!

might have other plans, but if I can make it, I will!
