1 ARM PUMP!!!! 2 punctures 3 mod bikes 4 chavs 5 rain 6 dogs 7 peanuts 8 technology I dont understand 9 crappy jobs 10 the thought of an independant life (dont ask)

I was riding to a ride (natch) today and as I was pedaling my bb went bang! my cranks were wobbling all over the place, hitting my frame and my maggies. I took my bb out only to see this: I have never seen that happen before :o I have only ridden this bb 5 or 6 times, after 5 years of using isis bbs, this is the first one I have had go on me. errm, theres no real point to this post, I just thought people might like to see it.

I will go if the 15 rider ammount hasnt been filled, I just feel younger (less expirienced) riders would get more out of it than me.

I have the ti bash (machined down further by iolo). I love mine, its light, LOADS of ground clearence and is very hard wearing. its also the most trouble free drivechain I have ever had, I never had any chain line issues, I just boshed it on and it worked. I have had it over a year and have never snapped a chain while using it, also the teeth show no sign of wear and the bash its self is in good condition. BUT if I didnt ride natural all the time where light weight and ground clearence really counts, I would use the normal bash, just to be safe.

mine get washed when my mum finnaly gets hold of them and does it, I couldnt care in the slightest if they never got washed, I would still wear them. Same with any clothes.

nope, I dont have any planes :)

shame his back brake burst for his 2nd lap, although I couldnt tell by his riding :rolleyes: anyone got any pics or vids of the comp?

KENDA

and me :lol:

lol, are you forgetting he fell in a river 3 times? :lol: his car is an Uno, and yes, the mirror did scrape against the wall :) :-

I aint gonna mention where its filmed cos its highly illegal to ride there :lol: but thats our place we ride before a comp as its all slippery and mossy, all our other places are just rocks.

I am glad you guys like it (Y) Hopfully as I get used to premire and uploading vids, I will get better at them. I want to do more vids of street, natural, messing about regually

I FINALLY have worked out how to make vids (well, thats a lie, my brother did) I filmed and edited this vid, its my first time ever editing, so go easy. The rider is Iolo (aran cook) on a mess about ride at a local spot, enjoy. here it is I hope the link on eengoedidee works, I aint the most skilled when it comes to computers

I came 10th (Y)

I used the new red pads at the euros, I am VERY impressed with them. I was using koxx reds before, they had good grip but as I got tired they would slip, not so with the heatsinks, they kept working and working. This is the best I have ever got my brake working. I only used them for the comp, on a harsh grind. they wore about a mill, I can imagian they wouldnt last very long. I havnt used the in the wet yet, so I cant comment on that. I would probably want these pads for comp only, and use slightly harder (well, longer lasting) pads of every day use. I also have the v brake virsions, I have put them on my bmx chrome rim, they are twice as good as the spanish flys I had on before.

you can come for a ride with me tom, rochdale is 10mins away from me (Y)

I am an sm, took me two weeks to notice I think, so it cant be that big a thing in life (Y)

tioga factory dh rim.....................problem solved

concratulations, I hope it lasts. is a young marrige though (N) blimey I dont wanna get married for years and years and years. still, as long as your happy :angry:

I thought the sections were VERY though, but that might just be cos its my first time in masters. I rode REALLY badly (as usual) I dropped 69 dabs and came 5th I think. Akkers is still on the ball, he dropped 25 which is very impressive, shame I never saw him ride the whole day. Slinger and Savage were on fire, I didnt think some of these sections were possible, let alone get scores as low as theirs aat the end of the day (12 th savage and 18 to slinger?) Iolo had a stormer of a ride to take the win in expert, good on you >_< lets hope I ride better at the next one.

get your self a tioga factory dh rim, they are double eyletted, welded join, 35mm wide and weight just under 600g. I have one with 25mm holes, its mint! only £25 as well

its not 521s, its 221 ones, cos they were cheap :( 2 521s would end up being 54mm wide, it would also be pretty heavy

its the origional one, no one bought it so I might as well use it.
