    Money

    yep, he had it....I dont have it very much, but enough to cause problems, most people who I ride with dont even know I have it, they just think I am a bit random

    Money

    I get most of my money through benifits, I was diagnosed with asburgus syndrome when I was 16, its very hard for me to get or keep jobs. I do however work part time at my local bike shop too, but I dont get payed for it yet cos it would clash with my benefits. But working in the shop means I get parts trade price.....my sponsors also help me to get cheap bits and free frames, forks and other stuff.

    Chemicals

    I got through a whole magura lever blade in 20 mins one of the old chunky ones too just dont make the mistake of mixing it in an alloy takeaway tray thank god I was doing it outside
  4. I'll have to agree with people, you have definatley improved Wish I could learn that fast
  5. not a great start for me either, bored out of my mind and ebay has messed me up, where's their new years good sprit?
  6. narr, 2006 is a good year, I always see years that end with an even number as good years. 2001 did crap 2002 was tyketrial 20" champ 2003 did crap 2004 won loads of comps including every round of the british champs 2005 did crap 2006.....................
  7. I agree with both of you, its hard to say one person really.... I will say Steve at heatsink, who else has put so much time and effort into such simple things as a booster and pads, top guy
  8. I would be interested in somthing like this, deffo for comps as I have a comp only wheel and it would be ace not to have to worry aboutgriding before a comp (or even grind wearing down in a comp) If it worked then I would have a slighltly less harsh one for everyday use. always nice to have an option though, nice one

    Echo Bb's

    my bb (or was it the tool?) came with a little round plate for taking the cranks off.
  13. that would be stealing now wouldnt it Anyway, as nice as it is, I just aint a fan of that style of tensioner and as I have said earlier I am getting a Rolhoff
  14. if your getting thorns, then 1stly get a decent tyre and secondly put liquid latex in your innertube, it instantly fixes thorn type punctures. But seeing though I have NEVER got a puncture from a thorn, I dont bother as the latex cant handle big holes like you get in snake bites
  15. most definatley the limey, no question!! better made, better geo, better looks brittish company!!
  16. no, dot isnt like water or de icer. Dot WILL swell your seals, might not be quick, but it will I can garentee it.
  17. he sent it me over msn, I could smell it a mile off
  18. glad to see you have gotten a stock, you wont regret it
  19. one last thing....are you american? if not, its tyre not tyer its just one of those things that hits a nerve
  20. if your riding deepish snow then your best bet is a mud specific tyre, one with long widly spaced knobbles. If your riding ice then you want a studded tyre, nokian make these but you can also make them yourself by screwing screws through your tyre. not really worth doing if we only really get a few days of snow a year, but if you ride wooden objects a ot, then I recken studded tyres would be ace, but really crap on rocks and metal.
  21. the main thing is it makes the brake feel 100% better, as for lubing the pistons....I have never had a problem, my maggie has had water in for 4 years, nothing has gone wrong with it once.
  22. course we do silly what else are we gonna put in them?....the proper fluid? lol, that would be stooopid
