  1. ok i'm sorry but i fail to see the resemblance there never mind, just paid a deposit on an ek9 civic type R last week so the polo won't be mine for much longer
  2. haha yea just a bit. . . . . . . it's on height adjustable coilovers, not sure how low exactly but quite low yeah.
  3. yeah Friday night sounds like a plan, any time from 6.30 on will be fine for me just give me a text tommorow and let me know what time!
  4. here's my polo, the wheels are Borbet T's in 8x14" ET15 with a phat 3" dish. the dishes are diamond cut and laquared finish so look nice and shiney when polished up although had to have the arches pulled out by almost an inch for the wheels to sit right as they poke out quite a bit!
  5. mmmm VERY nice Darren, looks good all built up oh and those wheels look reaaaly good, look like they were built by a pro when do you finish this nightshift thing so you can get ouit riding when most people do!!!

    Gear Ratio's

    i run 22-19 on my toxsin and it is beasting, it is lighter than some use but i think it really encourages you to put more effort in with gaps etc. to be honest though it's what I feel comfortable with, as other have said, get an old cassette and experiment with a few ratios then see which one feels best for you
  10. yeah i'de love to get a now 06 magura in black but no point when my rear magura works perfectly and i have the old front one as a spare!
  11. gutted! costs twice as much as a standard king nothreadset and it weighs more bike looks not bad though
  12. yeah the zoo! bars feel soo much more comfortable and generally loads better thanks for the comments though guys!
  13. snowys are beasting, medium-ish grind at the moment and they hold real good. plenty of noise from them to
  14. well heres a few up to date pics of my bike recently bought new zoo! bars, bontrager race lite stem, hope mono trial 180mm front brake, king iso on echo 06' front wheel. loves it

    Ben Travis

    yet another good vid ben, your riding and style just gets better and better . and the George Michael bits were well done too, made me laugh
  16. zoo bars for sure, just got a set of the new ones on my bike, very nice bars
  17. awesome riding, just awesome
  18. just prise the pads apart with a flatblade screwdriver, saves you taking the pads off. then until you put the brake on the bike put some cardboard between the pads to save it happening again. but. . . . to take the pads out, remove the circlip from the retaining pin, push the pin out, pull the pads out. refitting is obviously the reverse of that
  19. i work as a bike mechanic so i do like to keep my bike nice and clean and maintained, although i'm not obsessed and will ride my bike if it's dirty, as long as it's mechanically sound usually like it to look nice too, also running bens gold bars at the moment which stick out like a sore thumb
  20. nice vid Darren with some pretty big moves, can't believe how good you're getting, i better get out and practice and the weather, damn its crap at the moment! oh well suns starting to shine outside, here's hoping
  21. nice! i ride a toxsin 1 myself and they're very nice to ride

    Towler Video

    looks funny seing you on a big bike Towler!! riding was good though, very smooth
  23. lol, would be very undriveable if it was lower than it is! only got 2 and a bit inches of ground clearance under the subframe/wishbone joints at the moment but just had the arches pulled out about an inch recently so no rubbage with me + 3 passengers
  24. heres an update of how my polo looks
