Hi, I'm 'didlers' as spacemonkey put it earlier. The collapse fitted my ti-bash perfectly, it was jumping off of my 14 tooth sprocket at the back. I think this is because the the spacers beside my sprocket were too big and didn't let the chain sit properly on the teeth. If you're running a 15t sprocket down back then you should be fine. Anyways I have decided to give my collapse to spacemonkey and I'm sticking with a PHat kool, I hear what DW said about them but I hardly knock the chain anyways and have found them fine, despite one snapping on me a few weeks ago and destroying my knee, but was my fault.

Dude I knew Red Bull gave you wings but that's just taking the piss. And if your chain snaps you just change it to a drop gap to front wheel.

Was an OK ride and didn't rain. Knee was a bit gay in the morning but by the time we reached the pyramids it was kool, those painkillers must have kicked in. My new front brake works like a beast too, thats always good. And harry, you forgot to tell us the funny car park story, unless I missed it.

Hey I had a similar problem with mine, I just got some mole grips and tightened it up just over finger tight. Be careful not to go crazy and over tighten it. However, mines fairly new so it could just be the age of yours.

Hey when I started riding with you guys you called it red patch, I didn't get it and I still dont, I say blame the guys who live in ryde

Cover your rear fletch smo's on the prowl. I am coming now sod the knee, I took 4 extra strength painkillers when I done it so I'll just do the same again. Just hopped up the same kerb and it hurt a bit less, so looking good. Come down Neil I wanna see the Echo. Phil, smo, tank, chris I'll see you at the Red patch at around 9:50 - 10:00.

I'll give you a fanny. Seriously it hurt to hop up a kerb, let alone pedalling around Pompy, we'll see how it feels on Sunday, if i rest up and take a shite load of painkillers I might make it.

OK I dont think I'm gunna make it on Sunday. (Y) I've just got my bike sorted everythings working fine, hopped up a kerb and collapsed in pain. In short my knee is still raped! (Y) However I may come as a camera man, if I can be arsed to spend the money just to sit on my arse, I hate being injured. Also I'm just about to put some pics in my gallery of the new paint job, take a look.

I have only ever had one helmet and it is a 661 Dirt lid, I love it, get one.

Thatts right harry pain killers are the way forward. I think Phils got a chain I can steal but cheers anyway. See everyone there.

Yeah Neil wanna see how the old stead looks, I've just re-sprayed my rex aswell. By the way I'm having trouble with my collapse chain so if anyones got any Kool chains kicking about I'd appreciate it, I have money. See you all Sunday. Oh and Adam's gunna make it as well, which will give someone some good bail footage. We'll have to make him do a no-handed superman on his front wheel again.

Fletch your gay I hate you your gay! Only kidding, kool vid, In fact I might have to start trying those 180 gaps, everyone seems to be doing them now. Didn't like the spirally words but hey with riding like that who cares.

Shut your face Phil! Only kidding (Y) , I reckon I'll make it , I can almost walk properly now so I can probably ride, haven't checked though, but that's half the fun Oh and phil I'd appreciate it if you left my mum alone for a while.

You might find the 2006 Pitbull a bit short. If it's the same WB as your Levelboss then it will feel way shorter because of the higher BB. I'd definitely say ride a few peoples bikes first, just to get a feel of what you want.

I thought WD40 and GT85 literally RAPED the seals in maguras. I could well be wrong though.

This isn't a positive reply, but it's not negative either, just to tell harry..... Dont turn up late again, lol. You are banned from drinking on Saturday night.

Cheap braided hosing = crap mine and 3 friends all leaked/popped in the first few weeks. e.g. Unex (macdonalds straws) Decent braided hosing = The mutts nutts. e.g. goodridge or hope. But to be fair it's just not needed unless you twist your bars over 270 degrees on a regular basis, or run short hoses. Stick with the plastic stuff, it works fine.

Looks good, the only thing that I can think of that will get you further is to use your body more. Really crouch back and drop the front on pre-load, and then just throw yourself forwards with the bike. It looks likes your pretty much there though, just be patient and time will let you go bigger. Dont be affraid to put some beans into it either!

My tensioner f**ked just as I got to southampton on the Bank holiday ride. Ran it just as a tight chain, no mech or tensioner, and it was fine. Until I started riding it at home, kicked for a sidehop = chain snap knee capping the stem and being out of action foe 2-3 weeks. My 2 pence is it'snot worth it, and you dont save any noticable weight anyways.

:) WTF! that gap to front looks mahooooosive. Just think if he had stuck to his T-Rex he'd be even better, not that I'm bias because I ride a T-Rex or anything. kool pics anywho

Onza and saracen are idiots, they laquer over their stickers so that you cant get them off. This means that their name is always on show, which is a shame because most of their newer parts are brilliant but you just dont want that ugly onza writting in your face. (I'm not having a go at them I ride a T-rex with onza stem, pedals and rims).

The Surley has the jockey guides which help keep the chain on the cog. The one they're offering doesn't look like it does. But it cant be worse than a surley, The spring in mine died after a week, as did two of my friends that also bought them.

Stretching the springs and running no grease will work for a short time, but then will RAPE your hub. Saying that though my old hope blew up in Southampton a few months ago, so I just popped into Asda bought a mini stapler and hey presto new springs. (Didn't last much longer so I bought a King). your best bet will be to send it to hope and they'll do their best to sort it, in my experience they're quite good on customer care. oh by the way Charlie...... I know your impressed :huh:"

Of course I realise, I'm not retarded, and don't even think about responding to that. I think it's just my work comp being a gay and not letting me open the full image or something.

he said and i quote " get your schlong out and casualy say , you know you want it " hehe riders are tank , sam , george, smo and quigley? ←
