you are riding a kona stem now, what length is your stem, and what degree of rise does it have. what onza stem are you talking about here as there are many many different lengths and rise ones. Dan

i can actully wheel swop so i thorght i would tell you how i do it. 1. find a wall approx 20" good size to start on. 2. roll up to the wall and pop a small wheely (sp) so that your front wheel is now on the wall. 3. pull and hold front brake, if you are left footed make sure your left foot is forward. 4. hop the back wheel around to the right so that you are quite close to the wall but no that close that you are going to hit it. 5. bend your arms to roughtly about 100 degrees and lean as much as you can over the front wheel. 6. make sure you are still only holding the front brake, use the flex of your forks to get the hop. 7. on the magic count of 1,2,3 preload as in point 5. but also bend you knees. 8. in one swift motion jump as high as you can and use your arms to throw the bike in an up woods motion (sp). 9. whilst in the air make sure you pull your rear brake so wheel you land on the wall you dont flip your bike. 10. land on the wall, then hop of the wall and roll away. remember practice makes perfect, this will not come to you over night it takes a while to put it all together so get out there and practice it, and if you need any more held just shout. Dan

my zip spent a few Bob on it if you want a spec just ask!! rides sooo nice and have had many good coments about my rear brake i.e tall rob, steve-o,ad101, andy chai and matt staples. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/974474/ http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/974475/

if you are running an isis bottom bracket, these cranks are quite strong and look good to as they are avaliable in many different colours. http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=183 if you are running a square taper bottom bracket these will do you as they are stong as well but isis is the way to go if you have the extra money for a bottom bracket http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=156 if you want an isis bottom bracket and isis cranks for £100 this set up should do you. bottom bracket - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2027 isis 170mm cranks - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=156 dan

no body really cares. PLEASE PLEASE stop posting so many pointless topics its very very anoying and it will not get you validated and quicker, or at all, post a topic that is use full and people what to read and want to actully know about then you may get some decent replies. dan

yes they do improve your braking as they make it so you get equal brake pad distrobution (pads move at the same time hitting the rim at the same time) they are a lot of hassel to fit as they are an odd shape and the nipples are really big compaired to the size of the inner bit of the hose, i ve had mine for about 3 months now and it is still going strong. although they improve braking the improvement isnt that noticable. if all you want to do is improve your brakes get a good solid booster, some good pads and a nice grind with a wee bit of tar. Dan

in his profile it says he has ddg hubs so im guessing he has a ddg REAR (not rare lol) hub, yes best off taking it to you locla bikeshop and get it looked at properly. dan

supercycles dont sell the crossovers any more they only sell the lever to slave piece not the cross over bit he is after. dan

for that price you can go wrong and with a maggie as well, bit of a double bubble. dan

not to sure what a rare hub is please enlighten me Dan

yes they are very good ive had mine since febuary and i give mine a fair bit of abuse and my zip just keeps taking it over and over agin with no signs of weekness, for the price they are there fab but the only downer about it is the graphics a bit bland but who cares it rides immense. dan

yes they are very good frames but it all depends on wether or not ur friend has abused the frame or not wether or not it is cracked or dented but over all there are very strong frames. Dan

London ride was yesterday was well good, there was a camera dude over from america doing a bit of filming, staples was trying some sicko 180 up to 180 revert to some imense gap, was really stupid, tall rob was there and my lot from essex,i tapped 38" and was hooking some really big walls got a puncture in the end was a goog ride over all could of done with a few more people. hope to see you southend boys on the next london ride. Dan

OUCH!!! Glad i fianlly got my helmet, but it did take getting hit by a car to persuade me to get one , any chance of some pics of your fingers!! Dan

Q. how long is a t-pro, hmm how long is a piece of string? A. Twice as long, as from the middle to the end pointless topic, use the search or just use the internet to find out, its not hard. Dan

for the extra £30-35 for a rim and about £10 for a set of spokes it is well worth it in the long run as the wheel will be much stronger, thus lasting longer. Dan

with my echo lites my zona zip measures at 1047. Dan

This guy is a pure knob he cant even write in english, i just read his other topic and i forght that was funny untill i sore that he had made the same topic again, some one please close and remove this LOSER!!!!!! Dan

Hello i have recently finished doing me onza T-mag spec 2 up, i bought the bike back in october last year new for £650 and have spent a fair bit doing it up. Spec: zona zip silver frame £189 echo silver headset £55 echo lite forks £70 koxx try-all bars £9 new of ebay koxx try-all stem £35 hebo grips £6 magura louise fr front disk (standard) magura hs33 rear rim brake (standard) monty hose splitter £9 rb design rear lever with water bleed £65 rb design 4 bolt booster £25 green zoo pads £18 koxx bottom bracket £57 tensile cranks (standard) eno 72ep frrewheel £90 zona bash £15 onza hognesium pedals (standard) onza t-mag spec 2 wheel set (standard) maxxis creepy crawly tyres (standard) gusset chain tugs £6 smooth rear rim with lots of tar. Here are a few pictures of my bike so tell me what you think. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/?op=list&amp...touserid=102625 Dan

go on to www.wiggle.com, scroll down and click on bottom brackets, then Truvativ Giga Pipe Team DH Bottom Bracket 06, and that one is £34.99 and that one should do you. Dan

i got a zip with a koxx isis bb (127.5 x 68m) works a treat apart from the threat on the bb was not the same as the thread on the frame so i had to have the frame rethreaded as it was too fine. shoudent cost much more then £5-10, mine was £10 for a rethread, bb fitted and headset fitted, works really well and is really smooth but cost a few bob ( £55 posted ) Dan

yes nice work there mate looks proper minted, really shinny , wont stay like that for long give it a couple of weeks or so and i will go really dull due to the moisture in the air oxidizing the frame , try and get it re-lackered if you can then it wont oxidize. Dan

yes i had one of the spec 2 ones and it was fab to learn on, quite good value for money and never really had any problems with it, now have a zona zip as it is bit longer and i need a long bike as i am very lanky. But over all the tmag is a very good frame but week as well as i have heard that they snap easy, and that your better off getting a t-pro as they are stronger and cheaper. Dan

mine went with in just under 4 months and all the gave me was a tmag frame for half price so ive stuck it on ebay, but it wont sell Dan

i know some one who broke a tooth of the eno a bout 6 months ago and it is still in full working order. Dan
