  1. for the strongest hold rear brake: a grind with a hs33 on suitable pad Hope disc front brake
  2. the first time i went on a proper ride i broke the freehub, snapped the cog, a spacer, lockring and the hub axle. but i was basically noob then though! would like to see the vid
  3. random fact i didnt know. the hubs we get on the wheels we get are made by them. dont look that good to me. my rear skewer is a quando one. thought they were cheapo!
  4. quando? its from halfords then? if ur using a brake with such power on a cheap hub then ur likely to rip the disc away from the hub. i reccomend getting a better hub and getting it built into the wheel
  5. my bike weighs 12kgs and its an t-rex. so being what looks like to me a steel frame thats pretty light!
  6. i think my bike is the best. nobody would agree but i dont care. i like to ride it. btw its a t-rex with some upgrades. some bits are from carrera fury. some are really good bits. but essentially its 12kg which isnt that bad!
  7. tell him to shut up and get better u dont need a good bike to be a good rider
  8. im lucky enough to have sweaty hands...lubes them up good. just means i have soft compound grips cos the sweat soaks in so grips dont last any longer than about 20 hours of riding i have painful feet cos im still not back riding enough. probably cos i sprained my ankle!!
  9. add stug45@beeb.net to msn im in this area. might be a bit busy this week and weekend though
  10. i did try and get validated by posting a lot but ran out of time and got bored. just built my 2nd wheel though! it works too. the other wheel was for a customer at halfords. havent seen them come back so im guessing it works!
  11. what u get then? my t-rex has had abuse. and im a fatty
  12. faceplant from a wall gap and you hit the wall ur gapping to with ur face. then thinking about the pain it could have been if ur face hit the edge of the wall..
  13. power kites....so mountain boards and buggys. plus my car is good fun sometimes. i love empty roads
  14. got to find some bitz then!"!!!!
  15. im at uni and i admit ive dossed around but gcses is the last chance u get. fail them and u cant go anywhere. but they are easy.....so im sure if u spend some time revising them u'll do fine...
  16. Bike: 98% This means you're: Pro bike the bit about how good i am. not bad is too good for me. im not that good, havent ridden for ages cos of sprained ankle (like 9 weeks)
  17. im trying to clash as much as i can but i have failed apart from my hubs.....black silver, tiny bit of red stickers (not even anodised red) next mod: brake booster-dunno what colour yet though. someone make a purple anodised one please!!
  18. i think i probably should. just dont always get the time.....plus crap uni internet here
  19. prob a late post. im from redditch. theres not many here but in bromsgrove theres loads..... brum on saturday you'll find loads. and im at cov uni so im here riding in the week...
  20. but look to the left: Group: Pre Members Joined: 08/04/2005 thats 3 years.... why am i pre members still?
  21. looks like ill get one. but i smack the heels of my fat trainers on the frame but the booster wont get in the way for me
  22. i work in halfords where u get the cheapest crap ever made.... had so many forks drop out of the stanchions. with problems like that i dont know why halfords havent been sued for selling so much shite
  23. so would it "hold" better with a booster on a t-rex (as they have way too much tubing there.....!)
  24. the biggest ive done is years ago: link but havent done any bigger than about 3/4ft as i dont have any bottle yet lol there should be a biggest side hop/gap really as thats where trials skill is involved
