  1. I will be there matt, and u WILL be seeing me at the indoor one in septembre :ermm:
  2. Nick has taken the bumper off because he now has a full carbon flip front, drilling holes in the front of it would mean that it would not be a flip front any more, so it is easier just to leave it off, I know what u mean about it lookig god awful, when i first saw it i was not a fan, but now i have seen some better pics it is deffiantly growing on me.
  3. oh my god prawn, i am loving it, without the front bumper looks well hardcore :P HAHA, that bule engine didn't last long at all did it prawn, hehe was it 3 hours i think, when i towed u back to your place with my car. The engine in it now is loverly, me and the crustation fitted it back last year and has been going REALY well, can't wait for summer when we can fit the UBER 1380 engine, i realy will shit my pants when i ride with u in it then :ermm:
  4. Just reading this and thought to my self, your plan is to run a polished rim, ie: no grind, and by the sunds of that reply u think that your brake will work good in the wet, and in mine, and alot of other peoples views, any pad on a polished rim turns shit with any sight of moisture. If u want red pads, try the new Koxx red bloxx, i have the yellows, (slightly softer) and love them :ermm:
  5. Hmm, the fastest mini 1000 with a 1275 engine, well, thats is very debateable, prawns mini, having been in it, goes like SH*T off a shovel, he scared me sh*tles in it, and that was before he had lightened it and fitted all his new stuff, so all i can say is that i would like to see your mini beat his. Oh, i own a standard ford escort 1.4lt with a dodgy 3rd gear and it has to be the dirtyest car i have ever seen, well, that is what u get when u live on a farm and your college car park is a muddy field. :P but it does what i want and is much more practical than a mini, so pahh, tis only a car. PS: awaiting summer for some more work on prawns mini :-" :D :P :ermm:

    Drill My Rim

    I don't know how every one else drills there holes, but that is the way i have found to be best, when i drilled my DX32 rims on my 26inch the quality of holes was awsome, the holes required no cleaning what so ever on the visable bit of the rim, and the edges nice and smooth (N)

    Drill My Rim

    Drilling from the Inside out is the best way, i know it means de-building the wheel but u get a MUCH tidier hole, this is because it is where the hole saw is starting its cut, and not ripping through as it finnishes. This works well with stock rims because the rim fits around my pillar drill well, but i have never drilled a mod rim, so i would not know how well it would. a little pic that demonstrates what i mean:
  8. Supercycles, type 4, £7, exactly the same as the old style BT4 one (N)
  9. HAHAHAHA i do not care if it will piss rings around my escort, at least my car is PRACTICAL, and i don't get wet :P :huh: and who cares, Our ZX9 would kick that little beastys arse :P" :P :P
  10. Does the job i supose dude, (N) not quite as nice as my ZX9 (N) (N)
  11. May i ask how exactly your shoes are in that condition, i have had mine since the end of july last year, and brought new atomlab aircorp pedals at the same time, and the soles of my shoes are no where near as bad as that, and other than the soles where both sides have only 2 holes through the rubber, on the left being slightly worse due to that being my lead foot, they are in perfect condition, no signs of wear any where else. These shoes have been worn ALOT too, riding aleast 3-4 times a week dueing the summer, and atleast twice a week during the winter.
  12. Ah, man i remember watching that at your house, it truley is an awsome vid, showing some proper diversification. :( :( Deffinatly worth the download :-
  13. 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 Adam
  14. 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:
  15. 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:
  16. When u come down, make sure u give me a shout, i know where the place is at perranporth, and loads of other natural spots not far fromt there :P
  17. SHIT me, gunna have to fix me bike quick ish and head over there, never knew there was riding like that at ST agnes. :- Give me a PM when u are down next and i wil come and meet up with you :lol:
  18. If that is the case, i shall enter Expert as i am fatter than both of u, :) :( na, only jokin, steve will come first, on his loverly new bike :P (hopefully) I once again will be entering Intermediate :P
  19. 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:

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:
