  1. Cheltenham has a few things kicking about. There is a mini ramp 40mins down the road from the main park. Pittville used to be wood. The council started to removed ramps from as far back as the summer. Now there all gone. Its just metal now. Oh by the way Pitville is the park luke is riding in the vid. There is also a concrete street compless just built in Gloucester.

    Sneek Peak

    Only because it's ready to ride.
  3. Sounds to me like the kool chain is to small for your mtb sprocket. I think that is the trouble your having. Like you said your not having any trouble with the shimano chain as it's long enough to wrap around the sprocket. It seems that your not running single speed? Remmeber that chains are different lengths and widths. Still i'm a little confused to why BOTH kool chains wouldn't run properly.
  4. That vid is pretty sweet. Your airs were quite good. And a lookback as well, so very almost. It went a bit lame though after 51 seconds. I don't recon you needed any more than the footage you had. Maybe so more lines and runs. Like put that lookback back to back with a 5 tap then into a tail to footjam. Good job. Do ride trials as well then? Epic bowl looks sweet!
  5. Helicoil set. Cheap to buy. Or just ring up a few local car mechanics/ engineers or whatever and they can tell you or not if they have a helicoiling set and a m5 sized helicoil (which is rather small for them). Or bike shop.
  6. Are you guys sure he's not refering to avatar
  7. Link I still haven't got round to doing mine.
  8. There are quite a few pros and cons for these new frames after researching them that is. I rather like the idea. No tensioner Side hop to the right still Use of your old mod hub Something a little different to ride, geometry wise
  9. I agree in a way but some parts are just weak and others strong. Weight sometimes isn't an issue. e.g fly estampida frame- over 6 pounds. not very strong. Also some frames can't handle pegs too well either. S&M l.a.f i wouldn't call it strong and neither a Fit S3 mike aitken frame. S&M pitchforks lights. The new ones. Real bad dropouts. Suck tremendously. Old Fly Pantera forks. Slightly lighter but alot stronger. Does depend on who's riding what parts. With pegs or without. "if you can get light, strong parts, why not?" I totally agree there though
  10. Don't make it look too nice. Otherwise it will be a new target for those theives down the road. Just a word of advice.
  11. Shouldn't you be building up your new steed, right now!? Show us the pics when your done.
  12. One of the real reasons for a lower bike is for chopping that extra little bit of weight off. Bmxers are just as bad as trials riders nowa-days for using lighter bikes. That may sound silly well it is!
  13. Since when have Halfords been profesionals with bikes?
  14. The bikes will never be the same though! Little gear or big gear? 24" might just wander off into it's own territory though.
  15. Same as what i said. But i'm going from what he said so i don't think he wants to true it out as he is not confident in doing that, i guess? [edit] grammer problems
  16. So your de-spoking your wheel to take the rim off so you can send the hub and spoke to somewhere to be built? Am i reading your post correctly?
  17. Last longer you mean? He is right though, then it will bed it nicely. Or you could just loosen all the spokes off slightly and evenly all the way round. Then just switch them one by one onto your new rim. Tighten evenly all the way round again when there on your new rim.
  18. Revolver with an ACS claw is very popular as well. I'll proberly use my Eno on mine when i get it. I've not heard much about the Deng fixed and freehubs, apart from that the freehubs slip and the bearings aren't so good.
  19. what go brakeless? drop gap to manual
  20. Van's riding still kicks. I like the Flow team riders. Doesn't make me feel like i can't ride a bike. Where was Robbie M's nose bonks!
  21. Who filmed that? Luke peeters shreds! I was there that day but couldn't even bunny hop due to bruised ribs or something that hurt too much.
  22. Same here. My Macneil Ruben from 2000 ruled. My new S&M L.A.F wasn't very good atall. Although i had to add 2 links to my chain to move the wheel back and it feels alot better.
  23. Enough of my brake setup please. But anything on the Ceramic and Plaz rim front? DX32 mod and stock sizes. Cheers
  24. Magura and a dead rim won't be very nice. Dead rim as in one that won't go back into shape. U brakes tend to work using the right setup. I just put one on recently.
