  1. It's not too bad when it punctures, just tends to be really funny on either end. Getting/ giving scratches and taking out spokes when playing foot down is also an annoying one. I don't think i've ever experienced any thing real bad though like snapped bars for example. But if it was my bike that had its bars snapped, i wouldn't be mad as that has broken from being used over time.
  2. Damn looks like i'll be the only one on a mod. My stock still is not working and i want to get another one anyhow. Be there 11.05 [edit] whoops, another mistake made. 'not' being the correct word used.
  3. To add a bit more confidence mine creak and are no more than 5 months old. They are also blue But bare is mind some parts are made to flex so they don't snap. I doubt this is true with zoo! bars but least you know not to worry.
  4. Depending on how far the seam has ripped it is still ride-able. I was unsure on this but tartybikes assured me it was fine and built the wheel up. I think your best bet would be to loosen up all the spokes and true the wheel from the start. It should be fine then. But what Maxxis26 did was cool. 3 quid, can't go wrong there really.
  5. There is a Bristol ride on the same day i believe. Not sure which one to attend. See what happens closer the time. Any more info on this event? Is it a open event thing, i hope so Young Teen Runts [edit] whoops, spelling
  6. Just a top-up on what they said, Read the Rules Use a helmet Ride your bike
  7. I would of thought you could get £400 for it. I'm not to entirely sure but i think that this more than reasonable. What you could do is post a topic for a clean swap or price up what you paid for the components currently on it then half that.
  8. I think the reason why he is still going is because he has his own private park and stuck at tech and never really got to badly injured. I'm guessing all of this by the way. How old is he then?

    Halo 3

    I really really don't think they can make it any better. Halo 2 was perfect apart from the modders and cheaters that played. So Halo 3 can't be any better so i guess it will be worse. Im talking multi-player if you hadn't of guessed. [edit] I guess you all know about Halo-Wars already. Strategic Halo. Not first person. I don't even know anything about it though due to the fact that it didn't interest me so i didn't want to find out. The original C&C is the winner.

    Bmx Questions

    Man that was soo lame. I couldn't figure out what the problem was but i sorted it now. Thanks
  11. You should watch Tobias Wicke in action. But Rob Ridge is British so therefore still rocks.
  12. I will proberly come. Yesterday was fun even though hardly anyone showed.
  13. I ride mod. Mods aren't too great anymore. Lack of real manuals. Lack of street stuff. Lack of tyre pressure. Lack of speed. Lack of confidence. Lack of bunnyhop. I can bunny hop and manual real well, i've been told but it still sucks doing it on a mod. It's actually too hard. I am seriously going to stock and staying there. But as everyone says it's your choice. Choose wisely.

    Bmx Questions

    This bike should last. I recommended it to another guy not long ago. I think he might have even bought it. I would be suprised if you could get a better bike for this price. LINK
  15. That is cool. I see where your coming from. I was rather intrigued by if he meant on quarters or not.

    Bmx Questions

    Depending on what spec you want it. Do you want it light, strong, will you run pegs, will you use it often and do you plan on staying with it. If the answer is yes then it will be wise to make and investment in your new steed. You say £250, that should get you a well specced second hand bike off ebay. If you were to buy it new then it wouldn't be as light or have fancy parts.
  17. I do ride all the time though I've been brakeless a long time. Only now and then i run a brake for abubaca's and fufs. You make it sound like i have been riding with you before? Have i Poopipe: blown off a mini ramp?! Man that is crazy.
  18. Here we have the new bmx. Few months old now. All brand new parts Lighter, shorter, weaker than my old 6.2lb Macneil Ruben frame. Quick Spec: S&M l.a.f Fit S2 forks Macneil L5's Ruben Stem KHE Hiddenburgs Eastern on Hazard 48h 14mm Odyssey with BSD axle on Hazard Light 48h 14mm 36t Standard IND M5 7075 Sprocket Macneil OG duct taped several times Enjoy [attachmentid=8501] [attachmentid=8502]

    Echo Lite

    Looking a bit strange, too much chrome? The blue bars are going just waiting on my new Echo ones. Don't look right with that red lever. Quick spec: Echo Lite Viz Forks Macneil on Black Box FW Profile on DX32 RW Echo bb & cranks Standard IND heat treated chain Front vee with v-fly pads Rear 'trial' magura with coust cnc pads. Yes you heard that right 'trial' magura! No bash guard. A v-monster tyre inside the duct the tape. No more dents. Enjoy. [attachmentid=8499] [attachmentid=8500]
  20. Arh man that is nice. The seat is cool, not to sure about having it on a bmx though. The pedals, S&M or Gusset? 36 on the rear for me didn't last very long, be carefull. ooo Revenge tyre??? the kevlar sidewall one, how is it?
  21. Sunshine and showers, so whos going then? Ill be there 50mins late. [edit] currently pure blue skys at the moment
  22. OBM i hope your running 48h wheels. I take it you snap spokes because of pegless grinds thats why you the hub guard. Why didn't you go for a g-sport one? I never run mine anymore and no problems there although i havent riden any concrete ledges in a while. But the back hub guard stays on no matter what now.
  23. I've just commited to riding bmx today. Ah well. Will be there tommoro though.

    Xbox 360's

    So the question is now, what are you going to buy? I know if i had that sort of money right now then i would buy a new stock bike. Also Final Fantasy 12.

    Stolen Seat!

    I don't quite trust his bike lock. Maybe because the crime rate is low there the reporter had never heard of such an outrage of a bike seat being stolen so i guess he doesn't need a huge lock.
