  1. I just wear my shorts and teeshirt with my gloves and helmet It gets to like -10 here in france and you only get cold when you stop riding......... only problem is snow and ice
  2. GREAT VID!!!! Awesome riding etc etc Anybody got a link to roadtrip 05? seem to have lost it EDIT: Whoops! Search function works wonders
  3. schwalb heavy duty tube! best thing ever! was realy expensive like 12€ but well worth it
  4. ok i will look into it tomorrow!
  5. Well i never thought that taking bits away from a frame would do it any good Yeah thats the split link? i mean because the chain will be a little too long at first and will need to be shortened with a chain tool?
  6. Cool cheers mate! looks like i will be forking out for one of those then!!! Bloody expensive thing so you used your normall chain tool? on the site it says that a bigger one is needed? oh well if my mtb one doesnt work i can always nick dads motorbike one
  7. Never used a new chain on this frame so wouldnt know and spacemunkee what are you saying? that the shadow will be plenty strong enough? why would the khe be better? would i still need a half link? EDIT: just realised!!! £25 for the shadow conspiricy!!!! and i need to get a special tool too!!! WTF???
  8. the tensioners are all the way to the end and the brakes barely line with the rim and the chain is still slack! i have my snail cams on the little rectangular bit that you use to turn them because its longer and the chain is still uber slack! yeah the chain is probably stretched after a years use but im sure that even a new kmc wont give me the right length to be able to tension it right! are the khe chains like shorter for the same amount of links or something? or arent there any good half link chains? i have seen shadow conpiricy and another called reluctant! will any of these be strong enough? because halflinks will give me much better adjustability?
  9. its for a mod! so i have the choice of cams and tugs (i have both) and the chain is too long, so i take a link out and its too short! too long = too far for the brakes and for tugs and cams, too short = axel right in the dropouts and the chain wont go together So i need to sort that problem out and the chain is 1 year old so its probably a pretty good idea to change it IDEAS GUYS!!!
  10. will this work? because with the kmc its either too long or too short thats why i was looking at half link chains?????
  11. Guys im looking to order tonight not rushing your great help and info or anything
  12. Hey guys Demo next sunday so i am looking to replace my year old kmc beforehand! The chain tension is absolute CRUMBS! so i would either have to get another kmc with a halflink or a halflink chain or a chain that has shorter links? Its for a koxx levelboss long mod Cheers for the help guys
  13. Not 100% sure where it is but I would guess France because the main rider is julien dupont, a french rider
  14. It doesnt take that long to post to france and the postage was payed in full, must have been seeing as they didnt ask for more.
  15. ParcelfArce!!!! I bought a frame off my cousin it was sent through parcelforce and i recieved it 2 MONTHS later!!! What is up with that?????
  16. Dude im not trying to make you out to be stupid, but have you got any spacers in the setup? because if you are then that would be your problem.

  19. That annoys me too!!! I told him to get all of me and all of the object from the floor! GIT oh well i will show him this post when he comes back so he can see what hes gotta do next time Cheers for the feedback dudes
  20. No dude i understand! i was just picking the best of then bunch! its just i don't get much of a chance to get vids or pics of me very often so i took the chance, and it shows that he didn't really understand what i wanted when i say all of the move and all of me but oh well i will get him to work on it in the summer but thankyou for the constructive criticism Glad you liked some You got me the knee bits just kept getting in the way, and at the time when i bought them i wasnt a trials rider so the knee/shin combo seemed the best option Started trials and it seemed a waste to buy new ones **EDIT** Oh heres one i forgot! this gap sketched me out so many times! i think i took about 10-15 run-ups before i went for it sorry about the quality but this was taken on the guys phone
  21. Oh yeah sorry about the quality of some, but they were taken on the guys phone
