  1. i'd suggest the new echo 07 rims in black a few of my mates run them + they seem strong as hell (i think i'm getting some of them, or some fluro pink ones next)
  2. the amount of rise you've given us choices on isn't big enough (you'd be better going up in 10s). theres pro's + cons to high and low bbs (this is more of a stock issue high bb mods are just awesome , low bb just doesn't feel right) high bb: good: more clearance feels stable on the back wheel makes front wheel moves easier (the bb rise pushes your weight forward more etc) bad: b*****d to manual and bunnyhop can feel awkward (due to raised centre of gravity) AliC won't love you as much i never feel i can get any power behind a high bb (i find it wierd to explain, but you can't get "behind" the bike when gapping, maybe thats just me) Low bb: good: good for manuals+bunnyhops AliC is likely to love you more feels more stable when your not on back wheel (like for rolling moves etc) Bad: less clearance all i can think of really, these are just my opinions/views i may be wrong/plainly retarded + have the wrong idea 'cause i ride a mod low bb ***
  3. seriously doubt it's your frame shaun, i'm prety much same height/size as you and i feel stretched out on your control. could have just puled it riding? or build your back muscles up abit
  4. i like the idea of a disk, wouldn't mind one (but theres something about the current adaptors i don't like) any chance of monty bringing out a long mod ? theres something really pimp about them to (imagine an all black bike minus the rotors in silver ) out of interest how long do frames last with disk mount stress?
  5. after readin the tensile headset thread i got the idea that your killing headsets like there no tomorow. i've only had two headsets in my trials life so far (only 'cause i had to buy a new one for a diferent frame). do it also what moves would kill headsets, hooks and taps?
  6. playstation 1 ***!!!!! tbo for the money it costs for one of the spangly new consoles i'd rather get a ck hub video games get boring really fast (my neighbours had got a 360 the day it came out + after a month they didn't go on it anymore, they spent all thier time on WoW (H))

    Boink

    could be you've not lubed up said spoke+it untightening itself, going boing in the process? my old wheel did that (being a n00b i didn't grease them) whenever i put any stress though it it made lots of fun noises lube ***
  8. can't you claim from the post office?
  9. could you get a hope for the same price? and is it just me or do none of you tensile as "that good" compared to every other company looks cool, just something about tensile i don't like
  10. i run front+rear V!Z rims and a V!Z stem the rims are strong (i don't do big drops so i've never really had a chance, or need to really test them) they hold grinds well to i've got the highrise mod stem + it just looks awesome plenty stiff to
  11. all the bits i've bought have been for practicality/strength (except maybe my rims, but the way i ride i don't need uber strong rims) i also can't think of any parts that don't look good+perform well.
  12. yeah, my mate runs a tryall rim* in his zona no problems. there good rims to *(it's exactly the same as a tryall rim, same erd+width, just different colour/branding and V!Z isn't french )
  13. hiyall, if anyone on here know padarik on here's mobile number could you add me ogrerules@hotmail.com or pm me it also if any of the retford lads are about today i'm in retford

    Swearing

    (all spakred off from an arguament with my religious mate earlier) i don't get how swearing is offensive or deemed bad. i mean how many of you are bothered by people swearing at/around you? maybe i'm just arrogant and to unfazed by things (also could probably have phrased all of this better)
  15. ogre

    My Base Ta26

    why do i imagine aliC violating himself over this i really like bases
  16. high bbs are just aweful fer bunnyhops+such. go buy a control or ashton
  17. talk to poopipe he'll sort you out
  18. ogre

    Maintanance

    i've got cams in there. but i don't get hwo the f**king bearings have died so fast (rear hub had since nov, front since late december/early jan).
  19. mummy might, but then we might have scared-for-life child
  20. ogre

    Maintanance

    few things: my rear wheel doesn't stay in place it's a zoo hub so the axle fits the frame (unlike with onza hubs+shit) i don't get why/how it should be slipping though 'cause i get the bolts tight enough (alan key with a spanner looped over it for leverage, the alan key is now twisted from tightening ) anything i can do to stop this? how'd you maintain sealed bearings+are deng hub bearings normally quite shit(my new hub's bearings have already gone gribly after 2 months)?+where can i get replacements for them?
  21. It'ss fairly limited i'd say, theres fewer frames(zoot, ciguena, 24uk or iolos) + rims(V!Z, spank, dh ones) available compared to mods or stocks.
