I could pedal hop quite confidently (as in do around 10-20 clumsy ones at a time), could hop onto curbs and other objects smaller than a foot high and i could gap about 3-4 foot (about a pallet length).

I was riding there today. It was fun, great place to ride. They were also laying down a new gravel driveway to the car park today, had workmen with diggers and all sorts piling stones onto the floor.

I take it your effectively going to be filing an item not received or significantly not as described strike against the seller? I'd file a strike against him in the dispute console. It soon gets things moving, as does promises of negative feedback. What payment method did you use and what have you done so far through ebay?

If someone said that to me i'd go nuts at them. Especially if theres a letterbox in the same place. It will probably sound ignorant but who gets to decide what you can wear? I mean, covering your entire face? How can that be allowed yet a cross on a necklace isn't. I may not like how other people dress but i don't tell them they can't dress like it. Its a joke, who is it offending? Its not like getting rid of the cross on a necklace is going to offend someone.... and if it does, i feel sorry for them for being so f**king stupid.

Not that i can find.

Close, i take a train from syston to leicester, leicester to derby, derby to whatstandwell. The train i catch is in notts 25 minutes before it gets to me. Thats only and extra 30 minutes or so on top of my journey from notts to whatstandwell. I don't see how he's closer to whatstandwell, yet its going to take an extra hour an a half on top of my humungous journey. And edd, you've been to bracken a fair bit havn't you..... there isn't going to be a problem with us turning up on a weekday is there. Theres going to be about 5-6 of us.

Tis a 20 minute train journey from leicester, then 15 minute wait at the station then 22 minute train from there. Should take about an hour or so. I don't see how its so long from newark as its far closer than leicester.

If you try it be crareful of the other person who tries to do the same, only a little bit lower. Last minutes you put a £1000 bid on a £100 item because you reallyh want it, someone else uses the same idea only putting down £800. Your £100 item has now been sold to you for £800

But that not what you said. You said they were relying on their name to sell stuff and that it was a shitty approach. Koxx do the yabaa stuff too, the bows the cheap copies of the levelbosses at entry level prices. Koxx have recently brought out the following: 20" XTP long & short versions Karbon Wasp Koxx Coustellier KSAS Derangboy (i thought this was dangerboy ) The vinco Excessboy Kirl The hydroxx frames The "kamel" The crazy, hippy, flowered coloured thing (don't know what frame that ended up being, dual top tube one) Yabaa bow Cheaper Levelboss bikes Dengs brought out: Updates on existing frame he's been doing for a while; Pitbull, python, Control, adamant A1, GU, Lite, Team and echo pure. Recently released the A3 Done the mod-stock things on the pitbull, control and adamant lines. Koxx have definately done more with regards to R&D on frames, maybe this is their main concern with the amount of parts already available. Theres also the 108.9 click freewheel, the new ranges of bars (rage ones look very very good), fluro and mirror Rims, Peddles, Ti Bolts , Helmets, Headset, Gloves. Theres a lot of stuff there thats been overlooked, and enough stuff to prove that they've hardly "done a monty". How many clothes ranges and helmets has deng done? New frames? Lets face it, he's got a lot of products, but their all the same thing with just slight cosmetic changes.

My desk, built it myself out of wardobe parts. Got the real neccessities around it, graphics tablet, scissors in the pen holder, sambuca and an xbox contorller plugged into one of the usb ports for playing my n64 roms.
-
If people did avoid deng stuff i reckon about 80% of the forum wouldn't be riding the frames they have now Totally agree with what jake says, and i would have said it myself if he hadn't beaten me to it .....
-
I didn't mean to go on about it, think of it more as a word of warning should you think of doing something potentially face shattering whilst running it. Get the beast built though and give us some more pics, then you'll get more comments i'm sure
-
You got the title wrong, its blatantly a grey mumba Looks good, not sure the blue rims look right with the grey frame but i'm sure they'll look just great when the frame is black.
-
You not reckon all the zoo's with green parts are the plain ones and this ones the one that stands out?... I do! Looks ace mate, i'm down with the whole lack of colour theme myself (besides a blue rear hub and skewers :$ ), they definately do look better. Nice parts too, hope your ankle heals up quick so you can go and play on it.
-
Ha ha, thats the exact one i had. Snap happy doesn't even come close. Must have a breaking load of about 3kg .
-
Ha ha, thats way too much blue for my liking (i have blue bits on my bike too, good colour to choose), maybe it'll look alright when its done, but i have a very strong feeling that its over the top. And i thought it was common knowledge that those chains snap faster than matchsticks. Mine lasted all of 2 days before it had snapped like 4 times and most of the rings in between the links had got cracks in them. Definately get a KMC, if it can't hold a beginner doing a couple of half foot pedal hops its not going to take the forces put on it by someone who's competant enough to get sponsored.

Ha ha, boumsong... you know i'm usually straight to the point, and i feel i have to be extremely blunt with this...... that was f**king wank mate. I think everyones covered most of the stuff i would say, the lack of music, missing torso, random edits and the fact it was sooooooooooooo long! Come bracken with us, i'll film you doing some stuff and give you the clips on a disc so you can use them. It'll be a hundred times better. Wheres your hair gone Your not the same at all now

Take the bike to the shop, hope they have enough time to sort it quickly and not have it join a que of repairs that need doing to other bikes, then pay them for the service and take it home again. Or spend 2 minutes fixing it at home or next time your on a ride? I wonder which is the easiest

Ha ha, i have that heater!

yep this wednesday. i hope its not closed, anyone fancy pm'ing me the number so i can give them a ring?

See hwo the half the spokes are attached to one side of the hub and the other half to the other side. Well you need to slightly tighten the spokes around the buckled section of rim that are attached to the opposite side of the hub to the buckle. Basically if you want to move the wheel to the right, tighten the spokes attached to the right side of the hub and vica versa. Its always best to loosen the nearby spokes attached to the opposite side to where you want to pull the rim to by the same amount as you tightened up the other ones so as to keep the wheels up and down trueness.

Cheers guys... guess i should have searched a bit better hey adam :$ Should be heading up on wednesday all being well. If you fancy it come along should be a laugh. Try and get the day off work john.... you know you want to

Thats not good enough, you need MOP MAN!!!!

How exactly does everyone get to bracken by train? As far as i can tell its a train to derby then one to somewhere else, but i'm not 100% Anybody know?
-
Restart it, sounds like its gayed up. If what people were telling you was important they can always tell you again. Restart and you'll be fixed in a few minutes.
