  2. i love your style and fluidity, a proper pleasure to watch
  3. they are definitely snap happy, avoid them if you enjoy chewing
  4. Hey guys, I am currently staying in oxford for the summer on weekdays are there any local riders who would be up for a bounce? Got my bike with me so can ride anytime after 4. Pm me or post in here. Cheers ash
  5. still looks suspiciously like brake pad material
  6. well that is utter bollocks, of course you can fall off because of bad brakes. and it can be dangerous. it depends how hard you push yourself. hopping on the back wheel is most certainly easier WITH brakes. thats just wrong. not trying to cause an argument, but i felt that had to be said
  7. I totally agree, if i were to run an 04 maggie again I would totally go for a fresh products lever, they were great.
  8. If you are very careful you can do what i did, which was gently tap the gear hanger around with a hammer so it wraps around the bolt, that way the tensioner sits right up near the frame, then you may be able to remove a pair of links. also, less likely to hit it. mines been like this since about 06/07 and havent had to replace the hanger yet. one annoying things is that you will have to completely remove the bolt to remove the rear wheel. like this:
  9. I started trials after being crap at dirt jumping at age 12, i'm now 22, so a decade on I can say I have learnt a lot over the years and made many great friends. Progress wise, I was at my highest riding ability at 16, but college got in the way then, I am now at uni, and again I rarely get to ride, and there are also very few riders that come out to play. which sucks. when I was around 14-16 there was a solid group of riders that would be out virtually daily, so I feel that having other riders around you will progress you much quicker than riding alone. Most of what I do now a days is technical, awkward lines, refining the skills I already have. One thing I do regret was never getting onto the competition scene properly, but I guess there is still time, hopefully after uni is over I will able to afford to travel to them, and have weekends back so time to actually train. Good luck in your trials endeavour. It is never too late to start, just try to make so big rides this year and meet some locals, you will progress much quicker Cheers, ash

    Tyres

    look at moto diggers and the like. if you are really lucky find a 24" high roller. but there is a good reason for the holy rollers being so popular...
  11. ive always had 3 cross on both sides of every wheel i use, disc or magura. i have been on several other bikes with other patterns and there really isnt a vast difference. the only one to avoid IMO is radial both sides if you like to be on your front wheel alot.
  12. haha funniest thing shoe related ive seen for a while. second funniest was a guy who had bought some shoes from halfords, went home, tried them on and couldnt work out how the ratchet worked so called us up to ask how to take his shoes off after struggling for an hour
  13. if the hub is a pro2t then get it! looks like a great deal set your limit for about 170 IMO
  14. i think they look the shit! lets see if damon makes them last!

  17. hey must be the easiest rider to sponsor ever. want a new frame ryan? nah this one still works, fancy a single speed kit so you dont have to worry about your gears? nah, occasionally i might want to ride somewhere. want to save some weight? nah i like sus forks and heavy rims. but yeah great riding, hes still got it
