  1. Michael Coustellier?! I'm getting Andrei to get me some when the international comp season starts. Apart from that i don't think anywhere else sells them.
  2. Aye they're the exact dropouts they used on the Phase bikes and the old Saracen frames.
  3. That was pretty damn good, some fairly sizeable riding! How old are you?
  4. Was chatting to Joe Seddon about this on Dartmoor on Sunday and he reckons he uses the font brake a little, just a scrub if anything... Should i tell him he's cheating
  5. If it works it doesn't need to be loud surely? Is it new?
  6. Used to ride DH for years before trials, got rid of the DH as i found i wasn't riding it as much, trials i found was more sociable and accessible. It's odd at first but becomes easy pretty quickly.
  7. Really enjoyed that, nice chilled vibe, as summer should be
  8. So the lads been too tight to put a reserve on it or start it at a higher price and now its gone for less than he wanted he's crying? really he needs to suck it up, ship it out to you and get on with it. Start a dispute, it's all you can do. Be ready to get a refund and walk away with nothing more. Can i ask what you bought and how much for?
  9. My latest bike: pec : Frame : Onza Limey 3 Headset : Tensile Ace Stem : Viz! Forged Bar : Monty Ti Fork : Echo Urbans Front Brake : BB7/Avid SL mag/ Shimano 180mm Rear Brake : HS33 04 stripped+polished with Fresh Products lever blade/Koxx brownsTNN cnc backings, Echo mounts Cranks : Middleburn Bash : Cloud 9 Pedal : Wellgo MG-1 Magnesium Front Rim : Alex DX32 20mm holes Front Hub : WTB laserdisc lite (American Classic copy) Rear Rim : Viz! Square hole Rear Hub : CK Classic HD Front Tire : 1.95 Maxxis high roller Rear Tire : 2.5 Kenda Nevegal Folding Bottom Bracket : Try-All with Echo SL bolts Chain : KMC 710
  10. I make mid ride adjustments all the time, dependant on pad wear or how tired/cramped up my hands are. Having a TPA is really useful.
  11. Put some tape ove the end obviously other wise in a few days you'll be back to square one. Do you not find the tyre pops off at all? P.s. Well done for a well explained and formed questions/topic. You have no idea how much easier it is to sort things and help people when good descriptions and pictures are given; no matter how simple an issue. .
  12. Think that would be an amazing idea, surely we have the venues, we certainly have the people; would be amazing.
  13. Now thats a come back Monster stuff in there, impressed.
  14. I cant wait to seem more sidehops, fade to balck and on-offs... should be so original.
  15. I'm glad it wasn't just me then.
  16. Why shouldn't he change the bolts to some lighter, pimp but equally as functional Ti bolts? Some people like to tinker, I do that's for sure. I know if I could get them made for a standard HD axle but in allen bolt head then I would.
  17. I like that Not the front end set up i would have done for, namely a longer stem, but that's just personal preference. I know that the quads brakes get pretty good reviews for DH duties, what's it like for trials?
  18. Adrenaline, ripped nerves etc. When i crushed my foot i felt pretty much no pain for 5-10 minutes, managed to take my shoes and sock off, lie down and put my foot up, after that time it started to hurt, Rich Pearson told me to squeeze his hand, using my weak hand i had him trying to let go after 15 seconds injuries are weird.
  19. I could feel the wheel flex when i ran dual disk on my stock but have never really noticed it on a mod, surely if the wheel is built well and you aren't huge then it should be fine. Has to be a reason why a lot of comp riders run dual disks?
  20. Ah makes sense now, BMX rear hub, axle inserts sorted like it! Wish the standard HD axles were like that.
  21. Been following these as they've gone up, damn good it is too. Cheers for posting them all together
  22. Looks ok, prefer the green original Slates and your Sky, not a fan of that gold. You thinking it should be heavier?
  23. Its nice to see that some people fail to have grasped the concept of irony
  24. So you've tapped the rear axle? Thought Fun Bolts/ CK axles were a funny imperial size thread.
