  1. Looks absolutely stunning mate, but perhaps a few small graphics would finish it off even better. Like it in matte though, dont shine it up! Sidehop looks very tidy too, keep up the good work!
  2. Not as far as I'm aware. I think the general idea is for tees (possibly hoodies and stuff later on I would imagine) and DVDs etc. to promote a more freestyle approach to trials. Basically it's just Chris Akrigg (and possibly ET) doing what he/they do best! I would assume that there may or may not be a team, depending on who's spotted and how they want to run it, but as far as I know there woun't be much hardware (frames, forks etc) being produced
  3. Chances are you won't be looking on the curtis website if you're going second hand then <_<
  4. Congratulations, you are officially in the biggest crack on TF (and after some pics of backwheeling, that's impressive) (Y)
  5. Lol, nice plan. Get a cool custom headbadge made, make it even more sexual!
  6. If you get one just remember to install it into a clean and dry steerer. Have heard from several people that if you don't they sometimes don't get such a good grip. Just to let you know (Y)
  7. £200-£300, you've said (roughly) DOUBLE that Nice try... (Y)
  8. I guess you mean lacing it up radially (all spokes going straight outwards, not crossing at all) If so, yes, this will be weaker than a standard 3-cross build (if done to similar quality) However, if you are a fairly smooth rider, having a radial front wheel shouldn't make much difference to you. Remember that if you are running a disc on that wheel you WILL NOT want to run radial, as there is a much greater twisting force so you would be better off with 3-cross etc
  9. Looks beautiful mate, other than the headset protector halfway down the headtube... (Y) Nice work Luke
  10. If it's any help I ride 24", '05 Maguras on smooth Tioga DH rims and would be more than happy to help test or whatever if you still need riders.
  11. Looks good mate, weather cleared up a nice lot since yesterday. Hopefully get in tomorrow for a session, just hoping the weather stays dry for it :- Luke
  12. I'm guessing that you mean this: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=7833 Looking at the picture they give however it doesn't seem like they give you the quick release part with it, but I think you can fit one from another set so that shouldn't be a problem :sick:
  13. Good job Jonny, looking very tidy and well thought out. Can't wait for TM2!
  14. Funny that, was just thinking the same thing... (Y)
  15. Not had any personal experiences with the GU though, but from what I've heard they are strong and ride really nicely. Then of course they look exceedingly nice for a 26" (which I'm not a huge fan of at the minute, prabably just a phase...) (Y)
  16. Ok, well it seems quite clear to me that you should use the theme from Benny Hill and include lots of slapstick! (Y) Let us see it when it's done
  17. May have posted it a few places before but not hugely obsessively. Very well run and stuff, with some good vids and things to check out. Done it for top brands such as Nike, L'Oreal, MTV, BBC and others. Oh, and Ashton, the 'leader' kind of guy has also featured in 'Elle Girl' magazine! (Y) Withing 5 minutes of findin that out we had walked from school to shop (1/2 mile), got it, back up to school, and got 100 photocopies of the cheesiest picture dotted all round the school! (Y)
  18. For a nice streety feel, 24:16, ratio of 1.5 if you want it that way! (Y)
  19. Ashton 24" frames are no longer made and very hard to get hold of now, although there is a guy selling a full build, check out the For Sale/Wanted section for more info. Leeson and Curtis are the way to go now, and although more expensive (£400 and £500+ respectively) they offer completely customised builds to your spec If you can afford it, go for a Leeson in my opinion :(
  20. Hey, Building up an et24" at the minute, and just got myself a set of Tiogas, from CRC so £25 each. Haven't had a chance to ride them yet as still need to sort out the last few parts, but look absolutely stunning and from what I've heard should stand up to a fair bit of abuse! Only thing is they are supposed to be disc only, and I'll be running maggies, so may end up grinding them if the braking is too shit. Depends on how quickly the braking surface wears I guess. Only in 32h though which I can see will annoy some people...
  21. Try the search, this has been asked hundreds of times so it will no doubt be easy enough to find Basically though: Nitromorse Steel wool Emery paper Some other stuff... <_<" Pics?
