That is some mental shiznit u found there dude.
And i am pretty sure, like tart said that they do not use brakes, just the cranks to stop the wheel, but if u have watched Evolve the guy at the beginning with the unicycle had a mag on that, with the lever under the seat and the blade modified so that it would sit in his hand comfortably when he was holding the unicycle :blink:

Koxx Yellows, i am currently running them, and love them, i am using a medium grind i would say, and they are awsome, loads of hold and power, very good, and have heardly worn, since i got them before chrimbo :turned:

Those dates are looking good Matt, i agree with ticcy, get hold of terry, he is a sound guy, and work with him on dates, as it would be good to get plenty more riders turning up :angry:

Type 4 fits the first production BT raven 4's.
And the axis one looks like it fits the second BT 4 and 5's, and also the echo urban.

Front:
Panaracer fire XC pro, 2.1, kevlar bead. light and grippy in both wet and dry, good for natural and street.
Try all stiky, 2.0, very grippy, light great for natural could wear down quite quick on street, but still an awsome front tyre, large volume also.
Rear:
Maxxis minion 2.5 ST awsome tyre, very grippy on either street or natural, will wear down quite fast on street though. has very good pinch protection.
Try all stiky 2.5, another awsome rear tyre, awsome grip on either street or natural, once again will wear quite quickly. Good pinch protection.
This tyre seems more "bouncy" than the minion at low preaures, which is nice, :bunny:

One for me please, even though I don't think it will be hard to spot me, I will be the biggest one there, I would say any how, and 13stone to much for trials, try 18, :lol:

My BT finaly as I want it, only thing left is a King, but that won't be untill the summer when I can afford it.
The Avid mechaincal disc is by far the best disc I have ever owned, much much better than my old hope mono mini, :blink:
-
Some recent pics of my BT after my wheel came back from hope, Now with the addition of Echo pure forks, which make the front end a little higher but it still rides like a beast, :turned:
Hope u like.

A frame to be added to the above list in the sub £300 bit, is the new BT raven, very short 382mm chainstays (shorter than a koxx) very long 1090mm wheelbase, it is more designed towards the "proper" uci style of riding, it has a 5mm rise BB, also availiable in black, white or silver and it rides amazing, better imo than any other frame, be it more or less money, except maybe an echo 1080m pure, but I haven't ridden one so can't compare.
-
My new BT raven, nothing has changed, except that I have a hope mono mini ont front now.
-
Mr tartridge, when are we going to see this grinding vid of yours?
When I grind my rims I use a grinding disk, not a cuttin, and I never seem to get a very rough grind, as I want one very veyr rough, as long as it won't eat my koxx pads.

The latest pics of my beast of a monty, I have removed the ceramic and added a drilled and ground d521 on the rear, and have also got a drilled f519 on the front, they look real nice I think :-
The Rear drilled rim:
The Front drilled:
Exeter V Man U

Right, i have just, for the first time ever in my life watched some of a match of football, this is when i realised, even more how shit these REALY high paid players are, Man U have just played 2 games against club that, in alot of peoples opinions they should have walked over, and did they, OH NO, exeter have faught them all the way, after the draw of the first game, and now where they only just beat them by 2 nil, (the last goal in final 5mins). This is a bunch of 18-25 year old "professional" football players (Man U) verses a bunch of 25-35 year olds, who play football as a secondary to there actual jobs.
SO, geting to my actual point:
Do all these High paid football players deserve what they get paid, when they struggle to beat a "saturday club"?
In my opinion, they do not deserve it at all, they should earn money by actualy working for it, and not kicking a shitty little leather ball around.
Sorry for the rant
