They are phatpads. Designed by alic over years of testing different compounds, mike asked ali for the compound so he could get some for personal use but then started to sell them.

Maxxis, slow reeze if you ride natty often and want ultimate grip and not as bothered about wear. Super tacky if you ride street more and want bit more life but still great grip.

Not necessarily true, i have a tryall rear wheel with 2 spokes that have pulled through. Also allows you to get alot more tension in the wheel which is great due to the power in disc especially 203 ones the flex can feel horrible. Its not such a probelem with 20inch but is more so with 26.

QUOTE (joe b @ Aug 12 2008, 04:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Im pretty sure i've had it since April '05, haha ... How long did you have yours for? Mines not done that, though - mines cracked around the driver on the drive side of the hub shell. As long as they don't ask for the whole wheel, or ask me how i did it or what BMX i have then i should be alright... Any more experiences? Cheers, Joe. You won't have it replaced for free unless you can prove it was a defect. If you bought it new and you know where from they will take down the shops details to confirm it and then they will sell you the part at trade price. If you bought it 2nd hand you will have to pay full price. If you can fix it yourself just get the part from them and then do it yourself and save postage sending it to them and may be layber costs.

Would you say your addicted? im guessing your answer will be no and if i asked you if you could just stop smoking it at the click of your fingers im guessing your answer would be yeah. But i bet you couldn't. Weed isn't actually addictive either its all in your head. More and more companies are bringing in drugs test and they will just sack you. How are you going to build a career for your sell, im guessing in your head you think yeah ill just quit in a few years and get a job and lead a good life ect but it might not be the case what if you can't quit. All it takes is to be sacked once and your buggered, everytime your asked about your previous jobs your going to have to explain how you was sacked and, they won't employ you. You could try saying you never worked there so didnt get saked but then you have no reference and have to lie about a period of time an explain you did nothing. People find it hard to hold down relationships because there paranoid and gfs not likeing them smoking it but there addicted. you only have to watch jeremy kyle to see people who are addicted to weed with a family and weed is splitting the family apart and they could loose there child because of it. Non of these things might happen your life might be great but theres a chance in won't be all because of weed. People put a steriotype on people and its easy to fall into that steriotype and not come of it. Alot of my mates from back in school smoked it and still do now, they spend like 100quid on a bag they all brickies now because thats the only thing for them to do as they didnt do well at school as they where to bothered about smoking weed and not giving a dam. SOme have dropped out of college as there not arsed and prefer to go round with mates and get a bag. You proberly won't listen to anyone and think your right but it sounds like your not just a teenager that like a spliff now and then when some one has some. Sounds like your addicted to be honest if you smoke it every night and relie on it.

I run 170s and there fine for me. Im assumeing you thinking of bringing cranks out, if so im sure tarty could help you out alot as they will know which is more popular. Theres so many gear ratios used now a days that i wouldnt say theres a more popular lenght as different people are using different lenghts for there ratio. I supose 175 would be a safe better as most people think longer the more power so go for the longer cranks.

Drill the odd hole and stuff is really pointless it will make bugger all difference, just buy lighter parts then you will. You would only start drilling holes once you have got the lightest useable spec already. Personally id would stay well aware of the bars. Every other side knobble on tyres is a good one as you can save about 100grams all together.

said id work now.

Put the spring on then the plate, then push the clip on and swizzle it around with a screw driver or something. Thats all you have to do

And its a few min off there. fair enuff didnt think of that, Gravel int to bad and we just use our foot to brush the big gravel away. No ones ever slipped on just before a move on run up so its not to bad.

Havnt had a proper look at the site but first thing that struck me was once it loaded up i got what i thought was a shite photo for a companies website. It was the one of onza dual being rode down some pallets and someone else aswell to the left. I then went back on the site once id found out the picture changes every time and got one of wayne and it looked a hell of a lot better and more of a professonal look. What id say is only use proper good quality photos even if you only have 3 or so for the moment its better than lots of rubbish ones. Theres alot of riders on here that are big into photography and more than likely some of them will know your team riders so get them to go and have some pics taken, im sure the photographer won't mind aslong as theres a reference to him and watermark.

I doubt koxx are made in the same factory as echo. Koxx will choose there factory very carefully and will go for the best due to the fact they arn't standard tubed frames but hydroformed alot also they won't want the factories to put there frames into the catologe and be open to copying. They will prberly even use more than one factory for different frames.

I think that instructors are set targets of how many drivers to pass and fail.
-
Thats exactly whats wrong with it that your taught just to pass. Im learning at the moment and managed to get a instructor my mate used. And first thing he said was your my last student before i quit im not arsed about robbing you of money just doing this as your thingies mate. Im not going to teach you how to pass but how to drive. sadly he had to stop because of a job he got and i was gutted as he was a proper mint instructor. He was even going to teach me stuff like useing palm of hand to steer as alot of people do after they passed. My new instructor you can just tell that they hold back on things to get your money and just teach you to get through the test. I think the biggest problem these days though isnt the test not being hard enough but drivers attitude.
-
Buy a 74kings so you can get good wheel alignment and tension. Or try a new chain as chain obviously stretch over time.
-
Didn't he have a ti frame is that the charge one, and if it was to retail it would of been some crazy price i believe like over a grand or something. Sorry cant help, are you just wanting pics though or you wanting to build something.
-
I think it looks kool. Would love to know how weakened it is now compared to the standard frame.

Have actually tryed no password at all and press enter usually thats the default one or was for me.

basher replied to Has anyone seen my shoe?'s topic in Chit Chat
Youve split up once and shes even gone and got someone else, if she did take you back you really think it would last? seems not. And youll feel just as heart broken then as you do now so just let go. -
Theres always someone whos says this. You dont through shits around up walls do you. It will do f**k all difference having a shit as the bike is no lighter. In a comp a lighter bike will help from tireing because your throughing a lighter bike around. How on earth will having a shit do that. Just thought id say.
