IOLO

this sounds great,, unfortunatly i cant make it because my flight back to the UK is on the 9th of dec..(Y) but people get those forms in,, and i agree with wayne brimham rocks is THE BEST venue in the UK.. dont miss it !! iolo

pash forks are 1.2mm thick i think.. and i would put a small gusset to strengthen , more to help spread the stress. i have a pair of forks with a front drive side disk mount,, worked fine, but they are manky forks,, good if u side hop to non drive.. go for it..

i snapped some of these at the steer tube joint 2 weeks ago,, REALLY dont use them !!! even if they are new and in a box, and some1 paid me £1 I WOULDNT USE THEM,, i was doing a street hook from pedaling, i did it a few times,, all going well, then the last attempt as i landed in hook on the wall, they came off the steer tube, this caused them to swing upward and the front wheel smacked me in the face!! then as i proceeded to fall forwards, i cut my hand oped on the fork crown, then the stem,bars and steer tube came out of the frame, the steer tube wedged against the wall, and i fell onto it, it stabbed me in the throat!!!! i ended up on the floor with my throat swelling up and it was difficult to breathe,!! i absolutley shit it, and drank some water to cool it,, and after 5 mins, my breathing came back properly and i was ok,, when people say onza Die guy !! instead of light guy,, they mean it.. apparently if it had hit 1" further up my throat, i the swelling would have blocked it, and i would hav had to cut open my throat in order to breath through the hole.. BAD FORKS !!! :) iolo

that why your rear wheel is below the roofrack and roof edge ? or did you mean u went straight up to 2 wheels.. either way nice 1,, its a good pic also !! what frame in ben savage on !! ??? looks high BB ,well it has a mod stem, and nice pics overall, looked like an ace comp !!

yes its 400mm, and what to use,, !!??? AVID ! disk,, but it sounds like youve got a avid V or a hayes disk,, so put the hayes on , if it works ok! iolo

nearly all UCI bash rings, are made for threaded cranks, like people use for front freewheel. or fixed cogs, like tensile,echo,monty,try-all, ect... just thought i would add that , cos i like mods with bash rings,, well i dont LIKE mods, but you know what i mean,,! iolo

y? im sure if the strengths of the two materials and of course the required amounts were considered, it would be ok.. i still say, it may look funky and interesting, but there is NOTHING wrong with two tubes welded to each other. (head tube) but i do like the way the maggy mount is kinda counter sunk,,

yes he is a well mannered young man ,, haha all riders seem to be going for it, and that course looked REALLY fun !! nice 1 !

im dam sure the bb shell is 73mm or what ever the big 1 is ! and i would go for about 118mm axle, or just be safe and get a BB that will fit every bike youl have,,128mm axle

there are a few other things that i rekon help your rear wheel balance apart from balancing in it. ll try back hopping forwards whilst pedalling without leaving the floor. just little wheelies then stop,, u get me.. hope that helps iolo

ye i do kinda of absolutley love this frame now. haha and yes you are correct about my underwhear !! how scary lol

all look good,, shame i had to miss it.. well done evry 1

OOHHHHH YES! will be good,, havin such a laff here, i went horse riding yesterday cos it was a little girls bday and she wanted me 2,!! hahah but i think my horse was stuck in low ratio or something !! and as for the heat over here! well it aint that bad. u can ride top off without gettin too over heated, so its good, and if you ride morning or afternoon its fine! tom u havnt got any more cheapo fork lying around have you ?? lol.. (although my relationship with the last pair did and on a bad note !) haha ans yess aliC i will be snowboarding lol, cant wait,,!!! funny thing is, even when it snows then apparently it will still be fine to ride in the lower areas,, but the there will be powder up the hill to board on !! iolo oviedo is up this end..its pretty good for riding i rekon too, torrelavega is near there and thats great to ride i rekon, its made of concrete and there a really big outdoor sk8park!! and you will be not far off san-vicente beach,, wich is where i surf at the moment! good trials and climbing rock at the beach too. how long will you be there ?> iolo

no i didnt have pures,, i had light guys!! and they have snapped, and it nearly killed me!! NO JOKE ! but i have recovered,, the forks i have now, are koxx protos,, they are VERY heavy and VERY strong ! and 15mm longer than my others.. Ben my heatsink booster is brilliant.. i love it,, urs ok,, ? what colour is it !? and yess i am sorry wayne, i am basically not doin much work and riding everyday in the sun, i do so little work i only get paid in food and a bed, and the use of a big mercedes van to get around.! :) ohh and i dont know how long im here for,, but im gonna get my snowboard out here hopefully and use that.. then mayB home in time for xmas! so no alex i will not be going to wales round 3 !! :turned: iolo

yo evry 1 i am currently living in northern spain, cos i have a job here ! these photos are just the 2 area closest to the house, i will do another load of the nice street here too at some point. the logs are at the bottom of my road, and the rocks are about 10 mins away. there are some WAY better rock area but they are about 30 mins away ! i have gone alot for scenary shots,, :turned: but they are nice,, fun gap sidehop to rear wheel another gap tap kinda tappy hooky move to rear wheel big hill climb my bike a BIG! rock up (sequence) sequenced gap my shiney new heatsink booster !!! FWWORRR! nice scenary!!!! (drop) nice pile of logs hope you like..... iolo.

looks damm good !!! great photos,, annoying cos it could have been a great opportunity for me to ride with peepl i really dont see enuf..! fatmike,davetrials ( good to see youve got a new bike sorted !)ect..and many many MORE,,, some excellent riding going on there

yep sorry ALI but i can kinda see there point.. brant really isnt wanting to go near trials.. so i dont rekon its worth trying get get him where he doesnt want to be. also after peoples past experiences is it gona sell? and brant Hates me ! i dont hate him...... :S but what can you do !! but i can see why a 24" frame ALOT cheaper is needed in the market ! and i know a certain some1 who DOES want to fill it !! AND WILL ! iolo

:) oww, only dissadvantage of me being in spain,, im gonna get mine last !! :angry: haha, im already jelous, haha i really cant wait to replace my stretched, welded, rusty, and now cracked maggy one.. woo. nice 1 steve,, ITS A MASTERPIECE! :( iolo.

these pads are brill, good hold, work REALLY well with a grind,, but work fine without a grind as well, (especialy seen as its always nice a dry here in spain, :) ) they seem to last pretty well too. go get em !!

due to the thread being thicker than the area in the dropout, it would be pretty hard to design a nice simple good 360 dropout. but there aint any so forget it. lol

or was that one of those discuise kits glued onto your glasses !? come on wayne give us results..!!! how did you do.. did ali c do ok ?? cheers iolo

well done everyone !!!! yea is wayne a champ ??? what about nick g ?? oww im so annoyed i couldnt go !
