I had my hi fi for a month, I absolutly loved it for the first couple of weeks, but after that I began to have my doubts. When I first got it I was blown away with how easy it was on the back wheel. It also made sidehops easier, however my other things were worse off, gaps, taps and so on where just crap. I thought it was because it was a new bike so it didnt bother me, but when after a month I was still shit I decided to sack it off. People also say high bbs are great for natural, I found it the complete opposite, I couldnt ride it to save my life! I would just fall off for the most stupid things. My balence isnt great, but with the extra unstability of the hi bb, I just couldnt keep the bike under control. I also got super harsh on drops because I couldnt get my weight far back enough over the bike to make them smooth. my 2p

I had goodrige hose too, hated it.

thats not the only thing that got left in your van wayne, there is somthing under the seat. not really mine though. I thought it was an ace comp, all my skin is pealing off my back from the sunburn :P I loved the skip sections, hours of fun they were, shame I dropped so many 5s on the day though :P Also thanks to mr manning for putting up with us sleaping there and putting up with my putting stickers al over his front room :">

ha ha, Iolo wants to be a courier, he is a bit weird though :P"

quality pics, blackpool is sooooooooo good to ride, really fun random stuff everywhere. Cant wait to see what ben does :P

not their falt mike, unfortunatly slinger didnt fill out the entry right.

yep, iolo, wad and myself will no doubt just sleep somwhere random, would be cool if we met up and camped in the same place

whats the paypal addy to send entry fees to again? I really need to know quickly.

as title but 32 hole, I could do with having an answer before 10am tomorrow as I need to go to the shop and build it, but knowing what length spokes to use would be handy. cheers me deers

you'll do reet enough tom, as long as you have fun, thats what its all about. at the mo, my bike is sitting in many pieces, I trashed my front wheel last night, snapped my maggie lever and my tyre keeps popping off the rim. I have gotten another front rim, but I need different length spokes (mavic 321 on am classic disk hub anyone?) so I am off to the shop tomorrow to build it up. I am gonna put my spare maggie on now and put a different tyre on int the morning. sorted.

the rims are powder coated, get some paint stripper on't jobband it will be all nice and silver. then listen to some of these people who have a clue about painting as I dont.

the rims that I made I removed the inner walls then got them welded together, but as was said the heat softened the metal defeting the purpose of having it done in the first place. If it was just tacked, then I recken it would be ok.

I'll leave the front freewheel to someone who knows more about it than me. Tyres..............when riding natural, grip is EVERYTHING so the larger the tyre the more grip. Also it can be run at lower psi and gives a softer ride for your wrists

hacksaw, angle grinder, file............in that order :sleeping:

is it Iolos? if so I had the frame before him and I flaired the cups, I didnt notice till I took the forks out and the headset came out with them :shifty:" all in all, it didnt make any difference apart from being easier to put together :lol: it also has a level bb hight if it isnt his, then dont read the above. I happily used a 118mm bb in my pure, no clearence issues at all

sorry, my bad...just I remember Tim saying somthing about a high jump, I presumed he meant using a ramp. I am even more impressed now :shifty:

it was a high jump like the moto trials guys have to do indoors I think. Nice one for Tim Stedman getting joint 2nd(Y)

quality :) :) massive jump though, should have had your steel bars on :) body armour anyone? :-

I have sent my entry off, I am gonna pay by paypal, I wanna confirm your addy.....greeny_dude@hotmail.com cos I cant check the form (Y)

both are cool (Y)"

hope this isnt a repeat, but its rather fun BING IT ON!

I dont think there was any need to say that on their forum, I happen to enjoy road riding. road riding isnt as technical, but its good fun going fast under your own power. I dont go as far as to shave my legs though, and I hate lycra!

dont worry waye, a monsoon couldnt keep me away :'(
