  1. same, kinda-cept mine doesnt ride trials always looked up to my older brother, never quite been so close to my other brother and sister. we always talk about things, trust each other, have a laugh. he has supported me all the way through everything ive done, helped me whenever he could, missed him to hell when he went to uni- he is also a complete fanny sometimes and and is very opinionative-which strangely i find is a good thing as he doesnt give me any bullshit, just says what he thinks then again, i owe my parents a great deal, they have helped me along the way as much as possible(without spoiling me), and i know im uber lucky to have the freedom of having a farm compared to a majority of people i know who live in poky little houses my friends dont really influence me in a huge way, and ive never found a girl thats made an impact on my life as such, well at least not a hugely positive one
  2. argos cycles are supposed to be pretty shithot
  3. i had them front and rear on my kona stinky, they were fine, the engagement is sloppy but if its only for a hack bike, who cares? solid little hubs for the price
  4. lee, try reading the book? if you want a hope in hell of actually getting a grade it may be pretty useful alternatively get some geek in your class to lend you their copy, edit it a bit and pass it off as your own-how do you think i got through geography
  5. being younger and smaller, id suggest basing the geo around a monty something like a 221 i think you would struggle on a barge bike like a python considering your height and more than likely lack of strength to yank the b*****d up
  6. 'worst...... .....thread..... ....ever' hes wicked
  7. if you go back to square taper you can get threadless bbs may be worth a try alternatively, get the bb shell bored out and have a steel insert pressed in with threads

    Bongo

    yeah i thought he had a dog?
  9. not entirely true, seeing as im having to turn down customers now but i agree, it is a little packed, thats my fault, i do need something much simpler and eye catching-well more professional really
  10. i sent a bulb off to them, they didnt charge me for repair even though they claimed it wasnt broken, yet it had all new internals ah well, im not grumbling
  11. iolo, please change those stickers, they ruin what potentially is one of the nicest looking frames out did that guy who does the onza/onza designs do them for you? are you going to make forks too?
  12. remember the wheel size will affect the gear ratio
  13. i run 32:16, feels real nice im more of a streety rider though, and thats on my 24 if you run ss spacers on a cassette hub, you can play with different ratios by using sprockets off a cassette, and finally find the 1 you like singlespeed rocks i think, infact i dont run gears on any of my bikes now not even my xc bike
  14. noooooo bad idea presumably its only started rubbing this much sicne you got the urbans? if so, maybe get the mounts faced? othrwise a rebleed wouldnt go a miss cos if its not retracting the pads properly, then there is something wrong with the bleed or the seals/pistons
  15. its not a chrome finish, its just polished alloy if its not covered by warranty then i guess a reweld may be a good idea, just as a stand in until the frame is replaced. drilling holes at the end of the cracks is a good idea too, prevents it spreading fraid its more than likely save up for a new frame time though
  16. doubt it, even really cool rare items dont go for much, i got a starbike hydro v brake for just over a tenner and its near mint things like that just dont seem to hold thier value
  17. ace vid, real good riding too, well done
  18. sexual pity they didnt give you a rear brake i f**king love montys
  19. its weird how the uber cheapo forks seem to last ages, some of you may remember scott pitcher, beast of a rider, he always ran el cheapo forks and they lasted him aggggges, some of the hooks he tried were mahooosive too ive snapped several forks, again findign the cheaper ones to last longer. im currently running some fattys and love them but they are a tad short, so im going to try some pures/short sus again
  20. i want one to match my rear ultimate v looks fanf**kingtastic
  21. get some 80-100mm bomber airs pump them uber hard, going rigid will feel crap cos the bb will be so low my mate ran long px rigids on and it felt mong hopefully see that bitch in ipshit on sunday dude
  22. lol thats where i saw it mbuk has its uses sometimes
  23. just piss all over it? the smell would put me off anyway in all seriousness, just whack it in a well locked shed, and throwing a cover over it is a good idea, then it wont catch a cold i tend to hide my bikes in different places around my farm, even i forget where ive put them
  24. im guessing the new triple compound tyres will have something to do with this.....st and sr are so similar i guess that they want to replace it with something more unique
