    Which V?

    Unfortunatly as far as i am aware they are not selling them seperatly, i nabbed a 2 pairs off ebay from a guy that had upgraded his t-pro and i have to say that they are bloody good vee adapters, loads of adjustment and nice and slim-line compared to the heatsinks. It is what i am running, but atm Ali C has them due to problems with his brake Jonny, did u try my brake when i rode Nottingham, it was working SUPER well that day!! Adam
  2. BAAAAAA Ali u gay!! Does this mean i get my adapters back?? Adam
  3. Got mine through on monday morning and i have to say it is SOOOOOO nice, machining is gorgeous! proper high quality stuff Adam
  4. This is what i did and my brake is no insane, go and get a plastic tub of some kind, an ice cream tube etc would be perfect, fill it with some wet ish mud, then add more water, mix it abit so that you get a browny coloured water (ie the water has small bits of the mud in it) then pour just the muddy water onto the rotor, make sure there are no large bits of stone or mud on the rotor as this could wreck the pads. then ride around using you brake, after a few times of adding the muddy water it should be ALOT better Adam
  5. Bruno is an utter beast!! and i am SOOOOO tired! Adam
  6. Saw that on OTN earlier and i LOVE the whole look of the bike, has given me ideas for spraying my bike over easter holidays Adam
  7. It is a 26inch too, i have had a go on one and it did not feel to bad...... Adam
  8. Yeh, i think that sounds about right for the server fail Prawny, if you look there are alot of people who seemed to join around that time I think i was only on the forum for about 6months before that, so i am not realy sure when it first got made...... I remember the days of trialskings.co.uk forums, woooop and Section7.co.uk Adam
  9. Personaly i would keep the 2ply rear tyre, as that is the tyre that will get the heaviest abuse, but there is no nead to have a thick innertube in it, i am 19st ish and run a 2ply maxxis with a cheapo hallfrauds innertube and "very" rarely get pinchs. Ditch the front dual ply and get something a little lighter, i am not realy sure what decent light front tyres there are for 24, i have heard that holy rollers are good if you ride lots of street, and then run it with a std tube. By doing this it will be a reasonable amount lighter Adam
  10. Looking good dude, would love to still have an ashton, but as a second bike, not the main beast, just a fun bike Adam
  11. Here is my spring steel tensioner, it clamps between the hub and frame meaning that it can easliy have the tension adjusted (just by pushing it down and tightening quick release/bolt) it can be hit when missing a sidehop for example and not be damaged. Some like this have been made with a nylon slider instead of the jockey wheel, but i chose the wheel as i hoped it would give quieter running. I got the spring steel from one of those flexible wood saws Pic: Adam
  12. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT When is shipley? NOT HAPPY......... Adam
  13. WOOOOOO Can't wait, just need to sort some forks........ Adam
  14. Oh dear, Is Ali starting to show a soft side towards this tiny wheeled bikes? hmmmmm........ Looks ok i supose, much prefered that other proto that Ceaser? was riding not long ago. Adam
  15. I will have to see what i am doing, i am in the same situation as prawn, but at the moment i am not 100% sure when i go back to uni, so i will have let you know when i know more.... Adam PS: I will be riding plymouth before that though, during the holidays i should be up a couple of times
  16. Holy Huge Pictures Batman!! Awsome pics there though dude Adam
  17. Get it from Pijn Ash, i mean you could even go and get i in person, it is only in Southampton Adam

    I totaly agree with you, there are alot of these "new" riders who like you say, have t-pros and t-birds who just don't give a sh*t abou the places thy ride and just generaly show no respect, it realy does my head in, i was riding with some of these riders a while back and was trying a tap and hit my bash, not liking this i decided to leave it, the kids then went on about how the wall was not mine sh why should i give a fook, to which i replied with abit of a mega lecture. It does realy do my head in, fortunatly when i am at home (cornwall) riding rocks there is nothing like this to worry me Adam
  19. Haha, but i know of atleast 6-7 pairs of the new 07 echo forks that have cracked at the disc mount, and not al were owned by hefty people........ Adam
  20. Until they crack at the disc mount........ well, mine did Adam
  21. Cool piccies there Ben, sort of look like Porthcawl, but sort of not Adam
  22. That was awsome, Beta Techno bike by the loks of it, i used to have the 97 version of it, real nice bike i found, and awsome fun Adam
  23. A certain well known trials shop now do coloured aluminium bolts, but i am not sure whether they would be suitable for use on a front disc, personaly i would not use them, but i am about twice the weight of most the people on this forum...... Adam
  24. Gunna do my best to come, even ordered new pads for my front brake today Adam
