  1. just keep your trials bike as you would, but bosh some gears on, what do you know, a jump bike I wouldnt change anything on my bike to go dirtjumping, well ok, if I wanted to do jumping as much as trials I would smack a smaller stem and maybe some narrower bars on, but thats it.
  2. I would like to come, not sure if you can handle me though
  3. I didnt know he was the drummer in navinder (or whatever) He likes to get in other bands doesnt he, tenatious d and did I see him in the Queens Of The Stoneage too? I like him, hes got a funny mouth.
  4. well, actually, bb hight is measured from the floor, its just that us trials rider never really have a bb under axle level, so we just measure it from the axle. If you put 24" wheels on a 26" frame, the bb WILL be closer to the floor, unless you put big 2.7" ballon tyres on. I wouldnt really worry about it though, the only time it would matter if you were to put 24" wheels on a bike with an already really low bb (normal xc type bikes).
  5. cant wait!! I hope its as good as last year and worth going to instead of the uci thing in scotland. whoop
  6. martyn just wanted to try a rear disk, didnt like it so he said.
  7. ha ha, probably more than that, but I did reccomend the control too, so I aint allll one sided but I like the justice so much, I gotta preach it to the world. Oh and aim@me, I wasnt telling you to get a justice, you seem set on the gu and thats fine just some people dont like lots of bb rise (I hate it, have you guessed? ) and its always good for the topic starter to know all the options.
  8. ohhhh man I wish I was going to fort bill, but czech is calling. I want a copy, when your back from fort bill and if you have any spare, I'll buy one for sure
  9. king hell beastly!! I LOVE akkers riding, its zee best!!! Though ashton is awesome too!!!!! And porters 180 up to the rail I cant even do that on walls!!! Ho's sidehops, HUGE!!! I may have to get myself a copy, its a shame I aint going to fort bill though
  10. I want.......... to be able to keep places tidy a car a tig welder a shed a biiiiig pile of metal scraps a museum a girlfriend a world champions trophy the worlds most powerful magnet not to have my mental illness and to be able to have a normal jon like normal people.
  11. uggg, dont get me started on bb rise I have had a hifi, it was the worst frame I have ever owned!!! not reccomended. I have ridden a gu, it rates highly as one of the worst bikes I have ridden. I havnt ridden an adamant, but seriously, high bb AND the shortest chainstays around!! cant be good can it? The pitbulls are nice, unless your talking about the 06 virsion, which is horrid!! now then, the control.....NICE!! 2nd best bike I have had, was good for most things, didnt feel like a pogo stick on the rear wheel, though I still feel the chainstays are too short. Another option is an ashton justice, its the best bike I have ever had, suits me perfectly, nice reach, wheelbase is good for taps, hooks, sidehops without being limiting for other bmxy type stuff. The steep headangle make it lovley on the front wheel, pivots are a dream and ups to front wheel are nice. It might not be for everyone though.
  12. on hopes, its called floating as when the steel gets hot, its able to expand on the rivets. All the ones I have used acted just like a normal rotor, no wobbling at all, but they doo click when cooling down, like a car does, its pretty cool
  13. thats the type I use and theres no movment, was it a hope one you used?
  14. thats the virsion 4 that I modded, worked pretty well, but was dam sharp!!

  16. trend follower However....I LOVE it, looks so clean and neat. nice one boyos
  17. narr, ou dont need a syringe, just take the resevoir cap off the lever, fill up, undo the bleed nipple on the caliper and squeeze the lever, while holding the lever in, do up the bleed nipple and then let go of the lever again...keep doing that untill its bled.
  18. arrrrrrrrr cool vid, its always fun when the mjcycles gang is in town, but more fun when a tartybikes riders joins in I'll try and come out next time, they looked like good rides and I am sure you guys can teach me a few things
  19. pretty dandy!! I wish I could ride with that control, I tend to fall through sections at comps
  20. I am thinking it was more like a 51" hook (no offence joe)
  21. I am using a hope floating rotor and its ace!! You can get them in any size, mine is 180mm, they are lighter than a standard rotor and harder to bend because of the fatter alloy part. Before that I had the vision 4 a2z disk, but I modified it by cutting bits out to make it look like a cutting disk (leeson style) The roter was fine, no complaints, I even took a chunk the size of my fist out of a wall with it on a buggered gap, only scratched the rotor!! but anyway, hope floating rotor gets my vote....UNLESS you have a mono trials?? then it wont fit as the pads are too deep and hit the rivots on the disk. The brake goes wank if you cut the pads to fit too
  22. just wondering if was once mine that all, my old pure has been around. Was the headset a loose fit? and is there a big chunk out of the drive side cs yolk from chain suck?

    Section7

    I really liked section 7, good interviews, good comp coverage and in depth product stuff (pashley etc) I didnt really use the forum, but I loved reading up on comps and stuff.
