  1. Not got any pictures, but if you would explain how your doing them then that might help?
  2. Spose if you want tank stylee forks you could get onza fall guys (onza slapped a mega warranty on them that they will replace em for free should you kill em, there that confident that they won't die) although there a fair bit heavier than normal forks i'd say it was worth keeping your front teeth
  3. thats awesome although the rear hub ruins it a bit!
  4. ogre

    Taps

    All you can really do is practise, try to tuck and bend more when you jump, or go on trashzen for tips etc!
  5. You need to get a spoke key/wrench (there about 4 quid) then you want to tighten the spokes on the opposite side from where the wheel is moving to, (i.e. if your rim moves to the left at one point you need to tighten the spokes on the right hand side that are near it so it pulls it over) and don't over tighten them, just do realy small turns and keep cheking it over although learning to do it really well takes ages (i'm still prety crap at re trueing my rims) if you find it to hard your local bike shop will probably re true and tension it for about a tenner.
  6. I might just be joining you (if all goes to plan i'll have a new frame :: ) will try to bring a few mates if i do come woop woop
  7. Would you be able to do the etching as a standard thing? *considers crude things to have etched onto hubs etc*
  8. I'll give him 50p for it! esp compared to the price of this reefer] hehe they don't go for much i'm afraid
  9. Ride saturdays you big gay! lol you out today? (i am, need my rear wheel re doing )
  10. Find a steepish hill that you can just fakie (without an endo) get used to it that way, then start endoing and have a look on trashzen there prety good for tips etc.
  11. That chain tensioner looks awesome! along with the rest of the bike! i realy like the look of that plus it;s not long and low woop!
  12. Just do them by hand, don;t over do them (like i did) 'casue they overtighten by themselves and lock up. try to get a sealed hub asap! (even something like the bog standard onza sealed one!)
  13. I find the best way to put tar on is put however mch you want/like on then find a hill and go down it so your pads are on the rim but obviously not locking your wheel, and the friction etc melts the tar and puts a thin layer all over the rim which works a beast
  14. Just a suggestion, but you could weld disk tabs to some forks i don't know how well it would hold but it's worht a try.
  15. Would drilling snail cam bolt holes void the warrenty on a zona zip? (tbo, they should drill them in the first place) does the zona have a warrenty?
  16. Do you get two for £25 or is it just the one? i wasn't sure when i looked on tartys :$
  17. What is there beyond "let's go big" videos? strings of people doing tiny pedal hops up and down a street? but seriously what is there to do with trials now? and going big is very impressive to also that video was awesome!
  18. I think the nintendo one will win, i hope so anyway! it's so much better for multiplayer and onyone who is genuinly serious about gaming won't be using a ps2/3 Xbox etc they'll have a speced out pc. and for me consoles like ps2 etc have been for messing around with mates, not obsessive gaming lol. so nintendo 4tehwin111
  19. Will be riding lincoln comming saturday (the 11th?) for most of the afternoon, anyone comming down?
  20. There is an advantage to a longer frame, the longer (i think it's) wheelbase (gap from rear axle to bottom bracket) gives you extra leverage hence a higher hop. also the frame is quite light, pleasse bear in mind that getting a zoo python or simmilar frame won't turn you into craig lee scott it just helps alot of the videos you see will have riders that are prety decent regardless of thier frame and general spec, although the length does help
  21. I did it on my saracen get-around bike, for a laugh, i don't know if it's contaminated it though, not to fussed lol. prety fun going down hills smoke comes out of the calliper hehe it pWN35
  22. *changes boxers* WOW thats awesome, can you get that/those tenioner(s) seperatley? if so where?
