HAHA Adam I had a planet x zebdi with a 60mm stem and riser bars :angry:" my "bmx" bike :angry: and no I dont bump, need to learn on the beast, is it hard to start doing and whats the worst that could happen in doing so?
Cheers
James :)
ah right, has been quite a change then, worst thing trying to front tap, um, eating the wall i would say :) :angry: but once u have it, it is SOO much easier.
Adam
PS: i am still in the earlier stages of front tappin myself.

Um, i had no problems James, was back wheeling almost as high as on the BT in the first ride, i run a very low bar setup, 5mm of spacers, then a 5 deg rise 120mm stem, with onze riser bars lent right forward, seems fine to me, just give it time, u will get used to it.

HAHA yeh, i drilled that rim, it is f**kin massove, but when built to a wheel, it doesn't "feel" that heavy, it is strange, be glad to see it once he has it in his custom frame.

oh look.. http://www.bikedock.com/posit/images/products/0000003338.jpg
Like i said earlier, it is just a cheat code frame, and the mod a Dijnn
Adam

Glad u guys like the vid, i am very happy how it turned out, my best vid yet in my opinion.
Adam
-
Well from what i gathered, and from what it looks like in the pics, it is a standard koxx Cheat code frame for the 26inch, and what looks like a djnn mod frame, with different colour schemes and a new name.

Hey guys, after a gay afternoon, but i finaly got the video uploaded, it is on engodildo as trials shack is down, music is abit different to what is normaly used in vids, as i think punk rock style stuff gets used way to much. so here u go:
Any feedback welcome
Music was "another place to fall" and "suddenly i see" by KT tunstall.

having ridden bigmans i can safely say i prefer it to any other front brake ive used! and i really do mean that
while ill admit that its no more powerful than a well setup on form avid disc, and has a little less modulation than a 180 mono mini. there was something about the way it engaged with the rotor that jsut felt VERY positive.
it had masses of power, and i woudlnt expect it to ever let you down on a front wheel gap, yet at the same time, it was very controlable, with a nice forgiving lever feel, without being sloppy.
unlike the avid, it didnt suffer from fade going downhill at all, and performed flawlessly directly after a downhill stint, just as it did from cold.
all in all i was VERY impressed with it, and ill be buying one as soon as i can afford it!
top brake, they seem to have got it right with this one
Well prawn has sumed it up very well, i have the 180mm version, and love it, even after about 4-5 hours of riding it is awsome, and i am sure it isn't fully bedded in yet. I would deffiantly recomend it.
Adam
-
Ah, awsome dude, will get the vid up soon, it is made now, just need to upload it (Y)
Adam
-
AH, thanks guys, i was sligtly pissed off with it to say the least, oh well, we will see what happens.
Oh, and Nicholas_sam, i would phone, but due to it being easter sunday, and a bank holiday tomorow, i was just curious to see what other people have experiecned with this problem.

Well today, i fell back and my bike landed arcwardly, and snapped the flange off on the non-drive side, only 1 spokes worth, i want to know if any body else has done this, and whether they have had it covered on warrenty.
Thanks

I agree with Aust on this, there is no need to run anything but a standard tube, especialy if u have a decent tyre, i run a maxxis high roller, about 20psi with a standard tube, i am 18stone and have not has a puncher since last summer (also touchs a huge lump of wood), but doing what Mike said is also a very good idea.
Adam

I saw that snapped one on OTN. That's gotta be gutting after spending a katrillion dollars on one...
That one snapped becauxe of where the internal cable routing hole was, the new vincos do not have this hole. :sleeping:
Adam

Hmm, that is VERY smart, loving the forks, with the rear mounts, would that happen to be Sharns old frame?
Adam

The hi-fi looks extremely nice, does anybody have a clue what stem size will be needed? if it will have to be a mod stem? (i know bigman said this up there but im a bit confused as to what he said!)
Cheers
Tom
Read abit further up, i have already answered this question :lol:
Adam
Hmm, Front Rim Had A Make Over.

as at the moment i can not ride, due to being abit on the big side an snapping my CK axle, i got abit bored today, and got the drill out and to my front rim, again, this resulted in my DX32 having onza style countersunk sidewalls, i realy like it, what u guys think:
Hope u like.
