  1. yeah, like the other guy said, check with your local network but you should be fine i take my bike on the trains all the time. you can usualy put them in the bit where the carrages join. but a word of advice stay with your bike even if it means standing, its not worth letting someone walk off the train with your pride and joy.
  2. Q: Can you actually ride that? A: No... =| i used to get that alot when i rode unicyle trials.
  3. gotta be my frame t-rex, its gone through bowt half the local riders arround here, now i have it its 5th hand and its still going strong only thing is 2 maggy threads are striped, one was my fault and one was like it when i got it
  4. i ride street, but im sorted now, i went for a zoo stem 110mm 10* rise, with some 1.5" riser bars, rides pretty sweet, thanks for all the help.
  5. thanks guys, and aaron im 6'3" lol.
  6. what stem would be best for a 26"? is a onza t-rex with echo control forks on it, 04 frame i think. what geo stem would be best? to run with old style zoo bars?
  7. same, starting to settle now though
  8. i will have a look on the search im a mo sorry, it was meant to say trials opps.
  9. i was wondering what pads are better for trials? im either gonna be running a hayes mx2 or a avid jucy 7 on the front, with a 180mm rotor, i want a nice grabby brake that locks on good, kind on or off sort of thing lol. if anyone could tell me what would be better, organic or siniterd pads, i would greatly apreciate it.
  10. im seriously concidering the v2's but im waiting for some good reviews to pop up, they hava not been around for too long so would like to see good feed back on then before i buy.
  11. i would greatly apreciate some links aswell guys
  12. thanks for that guys, keep the suggestions coming, gunna go check out the saints now.
  13. As it says im looking for some new brakes for the DH bike but don't know what to get, im thinking hope but don't know wich hope ones to get. they mush have 203 front and rear, or 180 rear not too fussed. if anyone could help me with some suggestions i would be very grateful. price isn't that important as i have a decent amount to spend but the cheaper the better obvs. thanks
  14. the 5p trick works, i do it every time i need to take ma cranks off my trials and DH rig, just dnt count on using the 5p agen lol, and also it will feel a big tight at first as you are bening the 5p but one its sat in place it will bring the cranks off nicley!

    Manuals?

    bmx'ers like to play nose manuals lol
  16. i knew that, just wanted to see if any one would spot the deliberate mistake....honest
  17. first of all what bb is it? if its an some thing like an echo, you will need the echo bb tool. if its just a normal bb the you will nee one of these then the driveside cup screws in with a "normal thread" (lefty loosey, righty tighty all that shiz) and the non drive side has a reverse thread, so you twis it the way you would normaly tighten something, then do what ever you need to do while its out, clean the threads in the frame, and on the bb if you putting the old one back in, put a little grease on the threads and srew it back in, make sure you put the right cut in the right side. make sure you don't cross thread it either, the cups should go practicaly all the way in thiw your hand preitly easily, then give them a good tighten with the tool, the they wont screw in by hand chances are your either cross threading it or trying to put the wrong cup in the wrong side. hope this helps.
  18. take the hub annd rim to you LBS and they will measure it for you if ther a half decent shop.
  19. could you make the rims black and the hubs red if possible, if you can even see em, as i have changed my wheel set since that pic was taken. picture of bike here!!!
  20. as it says would some one be willing to change the colour of my bike for me? if so ill put a pic up. a few colours il like to try are candy pink and white, but when you see the pic it has a silver bit on the swingarm, i would like ot keep that silver. thanks.
