  1. Different bar and stem, spray the rims if you're really that bothered and get some different grips when those are worn out, it'll ride a lot nicer with the lower front.
  2. Give myself and Josh a call when you're sorted mate, taking every opportunity i can to get out on the intense atm
  3. Why would you ever grease a sealed bearing headset? It will likely cause more harm then good, collecting dirt in the headset and causing premature wear. Your certainly shouldn't ever grease a steerer tube before installing a headset.
  4. Done the normal thing such as removed all the burs on the cassette body with a file?
  5. Got to say i really do love the look of the new frames, do the have a current UK distributor?
  6. Looks pretty nice, get some decent pics up swift sharpish.

    My Two4 Video

    Some pretty cool riding, like the line at the end Helmet without a peak, sunglasses and a 24" without a seat.... only in america.
  8. So not a Kortz and most likely not a slate.... short control it is then.
  9. Croco brown pads are relatively hard and i have found them to wear down a grind, but still seem to work well on a dead grind anyway. A shit bleed won't make any difference unless its causing the pistons not to retract properly and leaving the pads dragging on the rim.
  10. Mwahahahaha sorry Joe ride in bridgy soon mate?
  11. Myself and Joe Seddon have been chatting about going over to Spain or Belgium (apparently has a fair few trials parks?) this coming summer, keep us updated Tom/Luke, maybe be meet up somewhere.
  12. You do tend to talk out of your arse a lot, have you ever used a deore vee set up? Tend to be one of the best. Clue up or shut up. Personally i would swap but you'll need to buy some maggy/vee adaptors, so the extra cost could be an issue. My vee is great on my 24" and was pretty damn good on the 26", with the salsa carbon booster on it the hold was ridiculous. However my current magura set up is the best brake I've ever used. If the vee ends up costing you more then stick with your maggy as you've just got it, try some different pads if you want, see how it works, someone will always swap or you can buy a vee at a later date if you want to try it.
  13. The same way you get titanium holes i guess...
  14. C'mon dave stay off the port and get with it, Marks had like 5 mods since he's started riding again!
  15. Aye urbans are a wise choice, could balance of weight strength and price
  16. Should be interesting, congrats on the new sponsor thought Ben.
  17. When i used one it was great, no issues performance wise. However, being lightweight it didn't take a lot to get it out of shape.
  18. I have a 50mile each way journey to the main buildings, an hour if i get to leave early and miss traffic but normally 1.5 hours, the worst has been 4.5 hours, got to love the M5 south from Bristol.
  19. A highly educated and well thought out answer. As has been said i don't think there is any way of determining which discipline is more likely to lead to an injury having ridden both and stacked it pretty hard doing both, i'd say DH.
  20. Sweet vid, nice set up. love the tune, mainly because its in the greatest film made this year....
  21. Not really. Who wants to see pics of my bike? but i wont ahve pics for 6 months because i wont have it til then......
  22. I'm 24 and started just around my 21st. Still ride XC and used to ride a bit of DJ and DH, but trials has taken over as such. Socially i find it a lot more relaxed than other disciplines but just as much fun. Can't see myself stopping any time soon.
  23. quite enjoyed that, nice chilled tune, good edit and some cool lil moves from Jack
