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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 )

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.

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
