curved and straight bladed forks are the same rake (wheelbase is the same) so it just comes down to looks.

I don't remember that being posted! wassgoinon? Glad you finally got a frame though,that should be a good ride I want to hear your voice again soon.

technique!

deffo get a sprung one, they are simply better. The Mr Control and 4-Jeri tensioners are actually pretty good! One piece of advice I always give is check how tight your chain is when its the shortest it will go. If it only pushes a cm or so below the rear cog, then you can generally use a single wheeled tensioner with great success. If the chain is really slack, I would recommend a double wheeled tensioner like a Rohloff or Tensile as it improves the chain wrap around the rear cog and reduces chances of the chain skipping.

low bb is good for: taps gaps (well, holding on to them when landing) roll downs bunnyhops manuals 2 wheel balance High bb is good for: hooks back wheel control possibly sidehops Personally I think +6 makes a bike feel like a pogo stick, it makes it hard to hold onto moves when you land, loops out too easily in gaps. However, a low bb +1-2 is harder on the back wheel and can feel a bit slugish. I think you would get on really well with a +3 - 4 high bb

trialtech cranks are a good bet

Nearly, still lacking in grammar though.

Please don't use txt talk, also you need to use a spell checker or something!

I remember no cat?

narr, I am normal, everyone else is weird! I'll tell you what...you could even stay in a nice full bed next door if my house is too messy

that place Akrigg rides is Shipley Glen, its 25mins from my house, so we could go there if you wanted

you more than welcome to stay at mine one weekend! We can hit the Trials park, manchester, and if the weather nice we can go to Blackstone edge (best natural in the uk!....shut it Partz!!).

not so good in a wet muddy comp/natural ride though

dependant on the weahter, I can go too

I bruised my ribs when I fell 10ft at Bike 05. Took around 2 weeks for me to ride again and another 2 for the pain to go totally

haha, that's so Jack Meek!

the plan is to get some grippy paint/tape on them and place more objects around them. As they are now, they are a bit wasted (I wasn't there when they were set in). Cheers for the input guys, I'll forward it all to Tony

Been a while since I have been there, so a Leeds ride would be cool. I do agree though, there is a lot of tgs stuff in Leeds.

you sure you want me too? TGS isn't really my thing Plus I can't get that fish eye out of my head. To be fair, the riding was decent, but the fish eye lense really ruined it for me!

a bit I really couldn't be bothered to read the first post! If people take the time to make their posts easy to read, I'll take the time to read it...you scratch my back, I'll scratch yours

Pardon??

wow, you managed to capture some footage of the lesser spotted Iolo cook! Looks like a cool ride and I am glad to see will has the correct wheel size now

thats really cool! I can see him going far.

lol, it turns out I did know Maybe next year. Well done again scott!!

well done scott!! must I must ask...where do you hear about such comps? I feel I am missing out on loads!!
