  1. The other stec isnt anything like yours!! first of all, his brake pads are worth 2 times the mount of yours. His rear rim is worth more than your cranks, and his front rim is worth more then your crank set :) ;) Sorry to sound thingby (cant think of that word) whoops! Any ways, i think he could get about £150 for the whole build.
  2. Its fairly hard to explain why I use 2 on the back :) ;) :) I can still apply the exact same amount of pressure with 1, but I feel more safe with 2 :D
  3. swap it over!! For some reason, when you take everything out of a capri till its only the bare minimum, it feels alot nicer!! (roll cage, bucket seats... nitros button, aliminuim dash.)
  4. No worries, I understand. I should have explained my problem more.
  5. It isnt a lock problem any more, it used to be with my really old Batch B's, but it locks, just my finger gets tired. Yeah im still using the hog rim. I know how to bleed a brake. my old brake was bled with water and was the best brake I had ever had!! absolutly rapid, then it got nicked :) I made this post to see how many people are like me (using 2 fingers) Oh yeah, and just for the record, iv always used 2 fingers, ALLWAYS!, with disks on my jump bike, my bmx, my freeride bike. I just lernt to hold on very well with 2 fingers. (try doing a 9 foot drop and landing wonky on the backwheel but without your hands falling off whislt travveling at about 20MPH) I just hold.... lol Sorry
  6. Iv been riding for 10 month now, its hard to say what standard of riding im at... i can backwheel 36", sidehop 32", gap 7 foot static, gap 8/9 foot rolling, and loads more stuff. I ride mod (onza T-pro 05) I have a 05 magura, bled with maggy blood (havnt had time to change to water) with heatsink konigs and the roughest grind every!!! I was riding today with only one finger, but i just couldnt release the brake and it got really tired after about 1 hour!!!! so i just went back to using 2. BTW, iv had loads of diffrent brake setups, with my old 04 maggy. (tar, rough grinds, heatsink batch B's) My brake doesnt slip, i just cannot release it.
  7. I have the new heatsinks, absolutly amazing pads!!! grip to fook, and dont slip. One has wore down at a real bad angle due to have been round on the end when received, but the other is still perfect.
  8. HEHE, this sort of made me chuckle.... Thoughts came into my head, abit like this:
  9. OHHHH yes, i went through this stage... as all the carlisle riders will know :)" (Y)" Every ride, i was riding good, but my bike fooked, but I still rode it. It doesnt stop me, i learnt to ride with the crapest (blackpads) brakes that were jubilee clipped onto my frame (Y) :- It worked, and it worked a treat!! Then i passed that stage, and i hardly even use my bash guard now... as i used to alllll the time till i snapped it.
  10. I personnally use 2 on the back and only one on the front. people say that i need to only use one on the back and it will make me a much better rider... If I do use 2 my brake slips (even with the roughest grind i can get and heatsink konigs) and I feel scared. What do you think?
  11. god damn they actually look soooo nice!!! I think its just like that place (where im on aboput) but the grass is crap and long, so its hard to hop on :)
  12. Not bad, not bad at all. You should maybe bend your arms a little bit though, it will make you feel alot better on the back wheel!! A little bit like me in this photo:
  13. We were just looking at a jaguar in british racing green and my mate said it would look cool on my bike... and I have a can on spray paint of it aswell (Y) Really good pics there mate, im liking the one where your on that stream. BUT.... I have a better place for rocks with a better stream section, actual about 20 times better!! :- :P :P (not telling any one though, strickly for carlisle roders (Y)"
  14. I might come along. Depends when it is though.... Me and a few mates will probs get the train there.
  15. unlucky for all you's they your relations..... Its my girlfriend by the way
  16. sugar flavoured peices of sugar covered in suger and a sugar coating with extra peices of sugar on top.......... Now for the pizza, erm probably just margareta from pizza base.. they mint!
  17. Nah mate, your just a f**king willy! why the f**k do you contridict somone elses work, when they havnt got anything else do do?? Oh and yes, i am bored, and my bike is fooked at the moment, i dont have anything else to do!! Oh and another thing..... Cheers siders77 for saying my work is cool :huh: (Y)
  18. I like saw, its a really good film, you just dont know what happens next (well, what they have to do) My mam guessed most of the film though :huh: (Y)
  19. Hey Steve, iv now been testing these pads for a few days now, they are absolutly amazing!! they grip all the time, and all my mates have been saying they are awsome compaired to their koxx bloxx and zoo! pads. The wear rate isnt too bad, but they have wore about 2mm in the time i have been using them. I have been running them on a really rough grind, and they grip amazingly. Will definatly been perchasing some when they are released and when these ones run out!
  20. Thought I would have a little 15 mins attempt :turned: EDIT: I done this one last night
  21. :turned: you've ruined it!!! :D Nah, not a bad attempt, you fooked up doing the van conversion though, you can still see the rear windows inside the car :S
  22. i go mental when my mates are late, one mate said he was going to be 2 mins, then 2 hours later, hes only setting off. it really annoys me!! even when im meeting someone at 6 at town, and they are 2 mins late, i ring them! "meeting at six, means six!!! not 6:05! :turned:
  23. not bad pics, one of the last gaps that dave done wasnt too bad, it is quite big, did he land it?
