Stanners

The riding and filming is emence! Nice thing to wake up to on a sunday morning!

trap it in a vice and grab the wheel and turn it off. Chain whip and stand/stamp/(maybe rubber mallet it abit to loosen it) on it (be careful mind). WD40 it like crazy. Grind it off.

Cheers thats the post ive been waiting for......

Bump

Cheers but ive got a spare rim.......its weather to get a new one or not!

Yeah cheers tar boy.....(i needed you the other day, No tar!)......26"!

So my hub cracked and is coming back from hope soon....but i wanted to get a new rim yet i can't find a cheapish black rear rim.....ideally i wanted an echo urban but i can't find anywhere which stock these in england and tarty say they have been discontinued. Damn. The option is to get either a pink, yellow or gold colour try-all and leave it as that (clashing colours with a blue frame)....spray it black and try and make a good job of it (laughable) or build it up on the old rim? Ive heard its not a good idea but still, is it possible...?? Oh its a 36h hub as well...(and yes i shoud've asked hope to replace the shell with a 32 but its too late) Cheers Rob

You not learn anything from jurrasic park

How does it feel to bunny hop with a high BB?? Looks gooood.

If you don;t have the money just buy a cheepy online or yeah go for an Onza....(i started on an Onza the first t-rex from a bmx background)......you'll find as you get better parts will start to break and thats when you get nice tasty strong parts.....i think its always benifical to start on a crap bike cause it makes you a better rider in the long run and you'll deffo feel the difference when you start upgrading parts.....welcome to trials http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?product_id=11225&category_id=10 - frigin ell cheep!...think about getting a HS33 on the back though....less maintenace/more pad choice/personal preferance i suppose

Well when i was riding back to the car at speed it was worse when i leand into a corner.......also it only happens when theres weight on it so bearing are top suspect at the moment.......if its bearings yeah ill come to hope factory cause ill probanly go to lbs and they'll be like urrrrr no sorry mate only have them online........you know how to fit them? i know you can get proper tools but you can wack em in with a peice of wood i think.

Right im going to explain this as well as i can, the hub is a Hope pro 2 trials... A funny noise has been coming from the drivechain area for a while like a crunching of a bearing noise....first off i heard v8's can make bearing noises so i left it as that.....but now when i coast along, not pedalling, a griding noise appears nearly every reveloution and i can see it shaking the chain.....ive taken the freehub out and it looks perfect, plus it dosn't sound like a freehub going from my experiance.....anyone had a similer problem?? Snapped Axel? Bearings?? Im gonna take it apart later but before i do id rather hear some opinions, Cheers Rob

Nice...can i ask how long the seat tube is and how tall you are?... i want to build something similer but having a hard time deciding how long i need my seat tube to be, and get a good frame size, so to do jump and xc....... cheers Rob

Beast ..Met you guys up there other day..im the guy on the blue BT..killer tatoos lol......nice vid Rob You Stole my library gap lol! arrrr

Whats the tune from 30 secs in and the one after? If you could be so kind? Edit: Cheers

Cheers guys......better put the sus forks back on the rigid then ....Handsome Dog Rockhound wooop wooop lol. Rob

What bike should i take to Lee Mill? Ideally id like to take the downhill bike (or shall i take the hardtail?) Can you tell me what the DH tracks are like, length? Any Jumps berms etc?? Oh and what is it like for trials? Pleeeassseeee Cheers, Rob Boooooooooof - lol

MOOORRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

After that video with the song Dead Prez Hip Hop as the tune in it....("Its bigger than hip ..hop ..hip ....hop ...hip")...street vid, possilbly 24" bike?? I dunno...... . Cheers Rob

Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaasssssssseeeeeeeee tell us

1. Chain tensioners, 74 kings 2. What chain are you guys running?-KMC 3. Coust pads in heatsink backings 4. Trialtech or neon isis bottom bracket? - Neither get a downhill one Matt Vandart - Who is that lass in your advatar!!!!!!!!

I'm a fan of industrial packages such as ProEngineer (My favourite package - as used by Caterpillar, the Volkswagen Audi group, parts of Toyota, Santa Cruz Bikes, John Deere and SRAM), Solidworks (You can see this in action on Orange County Choppers), Catia, Microstation, Rhino3D, CADKey and Inventor (Made by the same company as AutoCAD but good for 3D) and am pretty sure AutoCAD is the work of the devil unless all you do are 2D drawings, in which case you're missing out on a lot of the benefits of CAD in the first place. If you get used to any parametric 3D package you can pick up others pretty quickly too - it's a pretty useful skill to have as well.

Go on then, if a certain someone is goin.

Im doing a similar thing at the mo Id say start looking at other companies and look at their design/geo's as a bases and think of the advantages disadvantages of each part of the geo. BMX's now have higher bb's cause its easier to spin or chainstays are short so its easier to manual bunnyhop. You dont reeaallly have to draw it 3D but it is very useful to look at your final design without paying a fortune for a proto. Im just drawing the design in 2D autoCAD to get to grip of how its going to look and how im going to knock it up. Have a look at Rhino 3D if you dont have any access to AutoCAD which is good, if you have the time to get good on it http://www.rhino3d.com/. (I think theres a free download on it still?) It is very helpful to know the mechanical side of things to know how the frame would be built in the end so you dont have some silly un-makable frame. Most people on here will be able to rattle off the universal sizes on frames like a 1.1/8 inch headtube and 135mm spacing of the dropouts on a standard mountain bike, but there are lots of geometrical decisions which have to be made so the frame is good to ride like lengths of the top and bottom tube and length from centre of the bb to the centre of the head-tube. You have to know what material to use to start with to know what thickness tubing to use...steel is smaller as it can take more pain....and the advantages of the properties of the materials like aluminum fatigues more easily than steel which is more forgiving and ti dents easily (i thk)......... Basically if you want to do this properly or want to make a career out of it do engineering prod design at college then go to uni and do materials science/mechanical engineering/prod design/sport engineering(or whatever its called..... Or if you want to do it as a hobby - us this forum - use google - use wikipedia - ask people for help and opinions - i think if your brainy enough you should be able to knock out a half decent frame with just knowing the basics of what to do. Hope this helps - probably didn't - Good luck Rob

Awsome riding - (who are those girls at the end ) Rob
