    Gu Pads

    Yes. With a grind don't bother, i have rode twice with mine and the are nearly worn out. I changed to a rim that has a dead grind now and they are staying a bit longer. Lock and hold well though.
  2. Most weird recent dream would have to be......... On the back of a bus we the girlfriend, naked. I then began sucking the breasts and one of her nipple tips came off. I am still as confused as i was when i woke up
  3. I went for about 3 weeks without, I had many similar effects and was a far more relaxed person. However when I got round to having one it wasnt really very good. I havnt had a good pull for about 4 months actually. I have the good reason of my girlfriend being a bit overly sex obsessed (not that im complaining) but its still sad really that I can't pleasure me properly anymore.
  4. With a V-brake I think you may get away with it, just. There would be no chance with a maggie though. Its probably goin to be a god idea top get a wider rim though because a woodstock has super a super wide back end. I'm not definatl;y sure it would work but I think it may.
  5. andy is correct. Surprisingly. To ask someone else's opinion on how it rides could prove fatal, andy has a gu, I think it feels like shit but he loves it. How something rides is purley down to you. However the other zoo! Pythons that have been kicking around for a good few years seem to be strong, light weight and well made so I doubt they would change it to be shit heavy and weak.
  6. Haha, Ryan Smith has helped it down a bit further aswell you know. Its actually worse than that now.

    My Bikes

    The brain is great, If I get on another bike with a normal float on after being out on that they feel like jelly, and feel quite unresponsive under heavey pedaling. Theres only a delay if you go off smooth ground streight into a load of bumps, down gravel tracks and through woodlands there is allways a bit of movement in it but its solid on the roads etc.
  8. I probably spend more time with my girlfriend than anything, I ride at most 10 hours a week. Hardly at college either 17 hours a week there. I am quite a slacker really.
  9. Right I am going to buy myself a helicoil for my four bolt mount and I am just making sure i am not gunna get the wrong size, would I be correct in thinking I will need an M4 thread?

    I think your on we the right idea, the whole lever body goes up and down to shift gear but I thought that roadies went side to side because of the drop handlebars.

    That would be daddys car.
  12. That looks really good, I like the matching hub/rim colour thing you got. I know its not rare but it looks good.

    My Bikes

    [attachmentid=6825][attachmentid=6824] Quick spec for both: Onza t-rex, Hope xc's, tensile urban legends, bb7 front, old school sharkbite pedals, onza carbon risers, carbon booster, onza stem, hog rims, I realise it doesnt need that armadillo, but its very plain without it. Specialized Epic s-works, Hope xc's, XT groupset, them spazzy leavers that go up and down to change gear, mavic rims, it now has dmr v12 pedals, ea70 stem, easton carbon bars, specialized 'brain' float, bomber marathon forks. Thats all I can remember for the minute, I may edit later with a proper spec for both. EDIT: forget to mention that the pics are shit quality. There off my phone, can't find the real camera.
  14. Usually jeans, mainly because I dont own a pair of trackie bottoms and partly because I worship jeans! I do like to ride in shorts but I dont have many and i allways end using em on the xc bike so they are just thrown streight back into the wash. My shoes vary,I have four pairs of shoes I ride in: 2 Pairs of duffs, one pair is used more than the other 1 Pair of oold vans, they used to be used all the time but are a bit too crusty from all the xc abuse they get 1 Pair of Hugo Boss trainer type things, the grip they off is amazing the bottom of then is very thin and is just horizontal groves all the way accross but its rare I wear these as they look a bit daft.

    Revenge Tactics

    beating members of his family is good way, depending on there sort of availability but I think all the best suggestions have been done now.
  16. To me 'chav' clothing is any sort of designer make that isnt hundreds of pounds fo a t-shirt, say £30-£40 for a t-shirt wich is perfectly fine paying but what makes it chavvy to me is there being a huge label on it and I mean massive like all the way accross the chest or something. All designer clothing I have has the tiniest little lable hidden away somewhere inconspicuos and rarley can even be seen. To me designer clothes are for the design not the designer.
  17. With 17k for a car i would probably not get one, BUT if I was a rich bitch with money to throw around i would have one for the sake of it, I would have a lot of old rare cars that in truth are pieces of shit. because i am highly skint i shant be buying anything for a while.

    Fears

    I am petrified of wasps/bees/any other flying stingy b*****d of the airways. They just I dunno, just shit really arnt they? spiders arn't too clever, i can hold one etc its just i really dont like them. Also things touching my wrists or 'adams apple' proper freaks me out, I mean a spazem type fit and everything its fecking 'orrible.
  19. HAHA Random bloke as we pushed past him: You should be riding them up there Me: There not called pushbikes for nothing you know.
  20. On the little storys theme, at my local bikeshop all the bmxs on display have a tendancy to blow their back tubes at random intervals throughout the summer. I don't have a clue why its done this, so this is possibly my most pointless post ever.,
  21. That. Mine comes up as a memory stick usb thingy.

    Backend Flex

    How could I tell, I thought that the skewer is the axel, dunno though, I'll just ride it balls to it.

    Backend Flex

    Sorry to rob your topic but, I have a Hope XC and my back wheel usually does this, the wheel is true but under heavey pedaling or hard turning the wheel rubs on my frame. My skewer is tight so i dunno whats going on.
  24. My frame is just bare metal, I polish it we a bit of brasso every now and then because the colour goes a bit dull, apart from that aslong as its alu then should be fine.
