Right so what you saying is he is rididng the mod 26'' frame with a stock chris king in there...likely story!
yup , he is indeed, theres even some pics of floating about somewhere, ill have a look for them for you.
-
Neil is using a chris king stock hub
He is indeed, although he has had to massacre his frame a bit to get it to fit.

Zona Zip.
Looks the same as the Zoo, but they have shorter chainstays, meaning it'll be more 'flickable' and easier on the backwheel.
personally when riding my zona, i always prefered the feel of zoo's on the back wheel, they just sit there when you get the front end up.
i felt the zona was just to flicky and twitchy for me, although it did bunnyhop like a bitch because of the short stays.
but at the end of the day its all personal preference just have a go on both of the frames and see which you like best before buying one.

i used the red rock pads on a real light grind thats not even sharp and there still dust!
think im gonna put my fat pads on and see if they work any better!!
-
well, the rock pads perform quite well, the worked like beasts in the wet in brum yesterday.
the only thing is the wear rate is shit, only have half my pads left, and a lot of dust.
go for the blue rock pads!
-
im running rock reds rite now on my leeson, using a nice sharp light grind on my rim and the pads seem to be working great.
not much squeak or bite but a shed load of hold!
gonna run them in for a few hours at brum today so ill post back later if the performance changes at all during the day, they've still gotta bed in properly.

Can I get a character reference off someone who's met me?
read all of this thread, and personnaly i dont have a problem with anybody's sexuallity/oreintation
i know joe fairly well and can vouch for the fact that he is not that camp, about the campest thing about joe is his shoes, that usually have a tone of pink on them somewhere.
and as for joe being able to take people out, personnaly i would not like to fight him, anyway he prefers to punch walls(and in turn bust his hands) in times of fights instead express his rage in a violent manner. which is a good thing or you would not be standing after a punch from joe!
-
i may be tempted to come, wednesday is my only day off!!
ill see if i can drag ian (flipkickbs) with me or any of the rest of the worcs crew!
where's meeting place gonna be then? or anyone got a number?
-
Count me in!, should be along with ian and tom.
havent been on a good ride in time

ive read almost all the post in this thread and it seems the cadets are really fun and you'll make some real good friends.
thing is ive signed up for the real deal in the navy becoming a aeronautical engineer, and i start on januray 28th, and was wondering if life in the real thing will be as good as it is in the cadets, if it is what you lot say it is like.

Lovely, very good job indeed
Just a quickie - how do those wheels seem? Friend used to run the 26" Atomlabs and they weighed a ton, these feel OK?
i was actually quite surprised how light my wheels are, not heavy at all, i also used to run them on a old jump bike and they were strong so i thought may aswell give them a try on my rig. so far there nice but the back wheel flex's as its only built 2 cross for now as my spokes were to short.
Nice, shame about your tyre and rim choice though. Why not go for a pair of rhyno light rims?
i like the rims but i have to admit, ill be changing the rear tyre to a swampthing because the sidewalls are so thin its like puncture paradise.

The Birthday boy doesnt wish himself happy birthday..

he's got a point beau!
and happy birthday

haha, well its official, im gay enough to join
seriously though, i passed with flying colours and i didnt even have to drop and cough, although i had to stand there in just my boxers and be examined for marks and scars ect.
although the person who had a medical for the marines had to so maybe its just the marines.
the ear beep test was a b*****d, it was so quite, i thought it would be louder
-
Best bet would be to speak to fatmike about this.
he's just done his first year doing photography and he's got it dialled, pretty sure he got a A
i wish i took photography, best of luck to you.

whats drop and cough?
what anzo said,
and that if your balls drop when you cough your supposed to be all healthy but if they dont then i can only think what they'll do to me
Do You Like Rockpads?

im using the red ones at the moment.
there on a sharp light grind and work really well have bite and a lot of hold.
only thing is one of my pads was set up on the piss and after about a weeks use with it theres no pad left, but the other is fines as its dead straight to the rim and has a lot of riding left in it!
not sure on the blue ones though.
