  1. adjustable spanner, adjusted to a little wider that the rotor's thickness and then you bend the rotor gently against the direction that it's untrue...
  2. lol you beast... get a solid disc...
  3. echo urban on the front TT undrilled on the rear. the cranks are middleburn RS7s
  4. shimano, the avid calipers have really shitty pins in them, i can bend mine back and forth makes them sit at funny angles...
  5. get isis, square taper is a waste of time...
  6. upgrade your vee, join the vees are better band wagon and enjoy the lightest best performance brake EVAR...
  7. you don't need a 200 rotor on the front, a 185 is plenty for a mod. infact i think it works out that a 200mm rotor on a stock has the same leverage as a 160mm on a mod. i used f+r bb7s for a year on a 26" it was ace, silent and powerful braking. maybe 180 f+r to be on the safe side? but 200 is overkill... get decent brake levers and make sure you cut the cable exterior nice and square so that it sits flush inside the levers and calipers, this is what creates alot of the spongey flexy feeling. once you've cut the cables to roughly the right length, run your angle grinder upside down and push the cable end onto the disc and it will wear it flat
  8. whats the chooon in the nike video of bmxing?
  9. try it on professional. it's a totally different game... a freind and I annihilated that game over christmas it's no longer fun to play have you tried any of the fallout series? they're epic games...

    Films!?

    watch a serbian film, don't research it, just be aware that it is sinister, if you read up on it it's crap.
  11. with regards to improving the rear wheel, replace the rear hub with a fixed, threaded one and then get a a very good value trials specific freewheel some new spokes to fit your old rim and new hub. maybe first some better brake pads these are very good and cheaper that others. interestingly that set up is cheaper and technically outperforms the pro2 that everyone suggests. I have a pro2 i love it long time, there excellent hubs, and worthwhile buying if your sure that you want to ride trials for a while and are serious about it. i think you'll want to use an 18t (count the teeth on your front sprocket cause i'm not sure what the crank comes with. is it's 22 you'll run 22:18 which has a 1:1.222 ratio, very similar to the popular 18:15 which has a 1.2 ratio. mini essay over; i wish i studied trials at uni...

    Free Video Game...

    it would appear so
  13. I know there's boti but it's worth a bit more exposure for free shit, so excuse the thread, today only: click here winner
  14. have you dismantled the tensioner? or just removed it from the bike?
  15. As the tittle suggests, can you rent DH bikes for an afternoon and flag them down a local course? i wanna give the sport a crack before i even begin humoring the idea of buying one, so where does, if they do? in yorkshire ideally? cheers tf
  16. set up your camera so it doesn't crop your head out of the frame... it isn't hard to stand on all the stuff your guna be riding while someone checks that you aren't being cropped out. it's annoying just like the music...
  17. give natural selection a chance?
  18. they exist i'd like to see more in-frame tensioners on 26" that don't leave anything hanging my your chain stays, we land there! we don't wanna land on a £50 tentioner. it just hurts inside...
  19. ask before you order see if it all fits, if it doesn't then get the grinder out? if you have to pull the stays appart to fit it in you need to grind it, if it just slots in your fine, even if it's close, if you don't like it, run the cams on the outside?
  20. just humor me so i know if i'm a freak or this is riding norms, my right hand grip and glove always seem to wear drasticly faster that my left hand grip. is this me being retarded and unlucky? if you do the survey make sure you pick the right brake lever that your hand uses. similar question with shoes does everyone else find their rear foot shoe wears faster than their forward foot? cheers guyths!

    Xr 26

    if it's on slidey drop outs there's no mounts for a tentioner and sometimes slidey dropouts are only designed for one gear ratio anyway. why not try 18-14? i've been using it for 2 months and it's not impeded my riding, just takes a bit of getting used too, all you'd need to do is remove the split link and join the same amount of chain as before
  22. you falling up the pallet several times? only put it in if you make it or it makes people cringe...
  23. a whole minute of fails in a video less than a minute and a half long... why?
