  1. dirty dirty traveller!! nice one on getting those riders though, I am sure Stan will be using LOADS on his XC machine!!
  2. what happened to slinger? He's our best hopes at the moment!!
  3. I'll give you three reasons (only two are true) 1) I am lacking in the money department 2) couldn't be bothered 3) dabzillar said my head would explode if I went too far east. Are you there?
  4. cables dont stretch like that. it will be the red dial working its way undone, a small blob of blue tack under the dial fixes it.
  5. onza adaptors are cheaper I still think a vee feels nicer
  6. I also find shimano arms to work better than ultimates. They are also thinner, meaning you can put your adaptors in closer and have more booster choice. I have heatsink adaptors, I have joined the three holes into one slot, that way I can fine tune where the brakes are. I also found that a booster is VITAL, without one you get lots of bite, but not much hold, with one the hold is just incredible! but bite is scarificed a tad. Pads also make a big difference, I have tried sooo many pads. What I have found is that just because some work well in a magura doesnt mean they will work well in a vee. I swear by harder compound pads (like my joypads at 90A (koxx browns are mid 80A compound)). If you dont like how your pads are high in the adjustment slot, you can just wind on some speed dial adjustment in avid levers, makes the same effect as the pads being lower.
  7. cant remember when I joined, it was before the crash though, kept the same name throghout
  8. I wanted to go today, but Iolo worked on his car instead ( ) and I don't know the way. Will deffo go down after work during the week though, should be on my new bike too.
  9. iolo has it in his magura, been in since June, been fine so far, even after we topped it up with some 2 stroke oil when he hit his caliper and loosened the 8mm nut
  10. diesel is fine water is fine most "pros" use water get a vee.
  11. If I don't go bmxing then I'll go up.
  12. deffo! I maaay be interested in training for the olympics 2012 heh heh, got 4 years to train RAAARRR
  13. some look cool, not as convinced by other parts (cranks, stem, etc) look forward to seeing them in the flesh though.
  14. Did Dh for a year or so, had an orange patriot but it got stolen , I entered one comp, came 10th after falling off, was 5 seconds off the fastest time of the day even with the crash
  15. cool pics Ads, my legs are sore lol, that tracks ace! Cant wait till I get my bike!
  16. not heard of any leaking problems for a while now! I think there was a tiny amount of swarf in the origional Echo bodies (tiny amount!) that just upset the seals a tad. I beleive they are now cleaned more before assembly and it seems to have solved the issues.
