  3. might have the afternoon off work n come join u fred. If your frame turns up eh
  4. helloooooo one and all. Im proposing a big fat blast around Margate on saturday in preparation for all us uber cool dudes who are going to koxx days (well actually we need the practice :$ ). But instead of the usual, benchs and walls on the main seafront. i say we ride the undercliffs that run between margate harbour and palm bay. theres bloody loads of stuff that i bet half u lot havent ridden its paradise too cos there is no one around, theres rocks, walls, ups, gaps, sections, street stuff, dumped cars - everthing u could want.!! come and you wont be dissapointed, better than the same old same old Meet at Margate harbour @ 11 o clock. PM me if you want my number in case your late or whatever. or see map below, were meeting where it says 'the parade' , basically you come out of margate station ride to the sea front, turn right and follow the beach line until you hit the harbour. easy peasy. approx 3min ride from station. http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi?cli...&multimap.y=180
  5. Si, f**kin love u man!! I was supposed to there with u but had to pull out, had a DJ gig booked dont let it get to u matey, remember he's a 14yr old pubeless virgin with little conception of what you were trying to portray to the public, the NON_TRIALS RIDING PUBLIC. your rad man, you rocked at NASS 2yrs ago Go GO GAYBAR!! And to captain prozac i would say the following: A) The idea was to promote A CAR, not to show off, it was to make people associate the car with an extreme sport. I garuntee 98% of the audiance would struggle with a decent wheelie and to them, belive me it is mighty impressive. AND why not come on a ride with all of us? Sagar,Barlow,Meek,Towes,Harvey,pratt,johnson,tomkins etc. anyone who does or has ridden for MAD so that we can make you eat your words and Si can make u eat his foot....................then throw you in the river
  6. my first king did this and theres a very simple fix which was shown to me by the top mechanic at evolution imports/brompley bike co who are the UK importor for king stuff. basically you need to overtighten the cone on the non drive side a touch so that when it is all back together the bearings bind slightly then once ridden, the bearings become free spinning and the cone doesn't come loose. no need for loctite or such. this is taken from the king website, i draw your attention to item 4 : Rear hub adjustment The following instructions assume that the drive shell is facing to the right: 1. Insert 5 mm hex wrenches into both ends of the axle assembly. 2. Hold left hand stationary and turn right hand counterclockwise 1/4 turn until the assembly is loose. 3. Hold hex wrenches stationary and adjust bearing preload with the adjusting cone. You may use the hub cone adjusting tool if necessary. 4. Advance adjusting cone until it contacts bearing. The rear hub takes a slightly higher amount of preload than “no play”, since some settling may occur while riding.5. Once preload is set, tighten axle assembly together to 100 inch-pounds. 6. Check adjustment by clamping wheel into frame with quick-release. Ride for 5-10 minutes, check for play or binding, and readjust as necessary. Double 9 check adjustment after the first 5-10 miles of riding. hope this helps. Tommo.
  7. Myself, Fred Grillet, Scott wilson and p p p p p p pistol pete are heading over on Friday 31st on the 8:00am ferry. Ive packed my lead foot so i reckon i can hit buthiers at 12:00 see u all there. well be the rubbish drunk ones trying to keep up with all the lucky bastards who have been riding there for a week
  8. smelly stuff? toothbrush? towels? WHAT IS THIS NONSENCE!!!!!!!!!!! i say: alcahol cigarettes and er................. well thats it Cant wait for this, gonna be supercalifradgilistiexpialldotious my fine fat friends.
  9. Just voted on all 7 computers in my office and sent a mass email to everyone in my address book asking them to do the same Come on were gonna do this! However, Kent county council are snidy little shits and like things like lamposts fingers crossed
  10. if your friend had no prob's, i dont see why you should. Try overtightening the headset until its slightly stiff then ride, it will loosen off so it spins freely but it doesn't rock. If this doesn't help i would suggest either: a) try a headlock in it as apposed to a star fangled nut, b)let a shop have a look at it (not halfords!) , or c) clamping up your stem to steerer bolts more and even threadlocking them if they get loose. Does your Zoo have a CNC'd headtube? if so, theres no way its flared. hope this helps Tommo.
  11. i think you shud maybe try BMX as your obviously not too good at this trials lark In all seriousness, that level of riding is truly stunning, the technical ability required to ride most of those lines is immense. Much rather see that than 12ft drops and 60"sidehops everytime. Tip Top Tommo.
  12. oooooooooooooooooooooh. are you boys flash eh?! good shots, must be a mint camera! Like the riding. nice nice nice. R U coming to ramsgate on saturday AND- in the shot in dover, the bakers in the background says the "the four cocks" !!!!! brilliant!
  13. butter my arse and call me a biscuit......................... tiptop
  14. Helloooo one and all, I am going to Koxx days. I am leaving Friday morning and returning Sunday evening from/to dover. I am Driving a nice new reliable fast estate car with Sat Nav. I am getting the ferry. I am camping. I AM GOING ALONE RUBBISH!!!!!! Some one from kent (or anywhere else for that matter) must wanna come with me surely? dont tell me you'd rather ride the minky streets of folkstone as apposed to the trials haven that is buthiers?! I really really really dont wanna go all the way on my own, so if you wanna come, just pay for the camping online (and the comp if u wanna do it) give me £20 toward the ferry (less if more come with ) and ill cover the petrol by putting it through the company. See? how good is that, you get driven there and back and get to ride buthiers for 3days for less than £50. bargain. There must be someone from kent going? or will i be the only southerner in attendance?! Come on............. do it, do it! reply, PM, MSN or email me Tommo PS- sorry to make an entire topic of this but frankly, im desperate.
  15. ooh smashing. as long as the b*****d weather holds out ill be there (again!) , i shud be staying for more than an hour this time though See u all there people. PS- got a new video camera so i make sure you wear your mental hats. Tom@MrSuave.
  16. AH dan, your alive!! a trials park in deal would be awesome. heres mine: Tom Newbold Broadstairs, Kent 07738148079 best of luck my man. if you need anything. give me a shout!
  17. I Run 22:19 and have done for 6yrs, i find its spot on. I run a middleburn upfront and a chris king cog rear. there avaliable in 19T here: Bromley Bike Co. Im running 170mm RS7's too. its all personal preferance at the end of the day but you should take your crank length into account. shorter cranks=bigger rear cog maybe. hope this helps.

    He was THE original DHer. A total legend and a lovely guy. he died in a motorcross accident i belive. He rode for specialized and absolutely f**kin rocked. I still have my copy of 'DIRT' , anyone still have and remember it? with JMC, Rob Warner, Dave Cullinan and co?? still dig it out now again and reminisce. They didnt even have Vbrakes back then ,,,,,,, ha ha
  19. AH yes the quality,........... i do appologise, this is due to filming it with a still camera that has a video function that is utter pish. you will be happy to know that i have just ordered a new digital video camera off ebay and all future vids will be shot with that And you have contradicted yourself there young sir, you said there amusing but pointless. if they amused you, then well....er...... thats the point!
  20. comment duly noted. note to self : NO STUPID MEASUREMENTS ON VIDEOS I thankyou.
  21. howdy, This is a wee video of 3 MrSuave riders, Jack Barnes, Tom Newbold and Fred Grillet. Nothing too astonding for now (except jacks insane dropgap to bench), were saving that for the main vid. The editing isn't fantasic, the quality is frankly poor but heh, im sure you can get the general idea of what were doing. Please remember when viewing to keep your tongue in cheek at all times Enjoy, and please do leave comments. Tom@Mrsuave MrSuave teaser 002

    New Tattoos

    here we go....... It means 'imperfect' , well thats the final meaning. The word is 'senza' and is italian for 'without' , the symbol is an alchamist symbol for 'wax' . so we have 'without wax'. When sculptures were made if they had any imperfections they would fill them with wax so therefore, without wax=imperfect. Tattoooooooo....
  23. Why thankyou! I do belive that is the nicest comment weve had yet, and your completely right,. all i do is ride a bit, have a fag, ride maybe eat something and we always make sure we have at least 2pints during the course of each ride. Were not even remotley serious. and yes, the pures are doing well for themselves toodaloo. MrSuave
