  1. what are you saying???? but why??? so unpatriotic! what's wrong with the british trials scene?? i like your scene. if i'l visit someday i'l bring my bike and ride with you mates (Y) ... i can learn a lot from you all. yes.
  2. what about landing on things or hiting something with the rotor? can it happen? thanks... :lol:
  3. i dont know why a british company like planet-x dont make a union-jack style paint finish insted that evil-kenivel american flag... but this finish is also nice.. mm... any way , i like the planet X grafhics , it's so different and cool!!! and this frame is so nice to ride..
  4. i need to know if its good for trials use... have a nice day. :huh:
  5. on my hony-moon to spain i visited at gibraltar-a british colony as you know. i'v got me that little uk flag. after not so long time its plastic stick broke and i didnt know what to do with it. i used to put it next to my mini cooper scaled models (im a great mini fan and owner as you can see in my avatar). now i think its new place is much nicer... i glued it to my trimed mini echo seat. every-one asks me that they want to get the same but i tell them that its home made :huh: !!!
  6. can i fit a shimano hose to hs 33 magura rim brake? can i use a shimano mineral oil? can i use shimano olives thanks...
  7. i dont use it most of the time. i noticed that i can climb very high objects like picnic tables with out bunny hop... thats nice. i think it shows that this frame is made for comps and less street :ermm:
  8. thanks mate, its so strange how so little part or change in position can make us ride better or worse. :o
  9. i found it helpfull. what do think? just started rails... :unsure:
  10. ok, the story goes like this: first you'v got to know i'm 5'6 short but nice guy :unsure: after my zebdi died, i'v got me a nice echo es4r with 0 rise bb and felt way better with it. now i have an alibongo with +20 m"m bb rise, and longer top tube. i find it harder to pull on bunny hops and do gaps but is nice on the rear. my question is: 1.do i need to put the stem higher? remember the bb is now higher then the echo. 2.do i need shorter stem? now its 75 m"m 3.is there any good in this longer frame? my new ride:
  11. can i cut my seat tube and still have my frame under warranty? i'm a bike mechanic and can carry out the job by my self. its too high for a mini seat and i dont need a seat post. p.s the frame is nice and it feels great on back hops.
  12. been riding with tubeless on my rear for one year now, and its great!!! no flats at all!! :turned:
  13. if you cant tell what your forks are made of, take a magnet and check it: the magnet will bond to the steel. the magnet will not bond to the alu.
  14. i can do up to 1.80 meter. how far can you go?
  15. any way i wanted to say: thanks this forum and everyone who helped. :(
  16. thank you guys!! you are so helpfull!! :huh:
  17. as you can see, i'v orderd me a nice echo mini seat, 2 weeks ago, and didnt get it. the order was made by me in 31.1.05 from bike-dock for Grand Total of 11.91. bike dock say they have sent it allready and maybe they can give me a tracking number. its not the first time i'v orderd from bike dock. the monty tire i'v orderd came in my loacal post office after one week!! what can i do?????? :huh:
  18. i use an outland pedals for 4.5 years and its the best of the best. it has seald bearings and replaceable pins. also , very light. :)
  19. seems that you'v broke the axel's lock ring. its no problem. i'm not from the uk , but i think you can get service on tartybikes with no problem :wink2: good luck.
  20. you will ned a special kings tool to do it right :">
  21. dont even try it!!! as a bike mechnic i have to tell you this: shimano's hubs s!@ck! if you live in the uk you have so many bettrr options, and go with seald bearing hubs! i use a king hub and its the best hub i ever used (been using all shimanos, even xtr's). :P
  22. we have max' ten trials riders in israel... :D that's a shame.... :P
