  1. I ripped t after about a month doing a wallride and just patched it up and tis fine. It doesn't ahve the grip of the front tyre but I wasn't sure if the Street would fit in the back with the wheel slammed, but I ave a feeing it will now. I have a normal tube in itright now as my mate had the tiggy tubes and they just poped contantly and for no reason. I'm quite happyt o buy more ofen rom you guys, such good service and very helpful when I rang up with have I fitted the headset right as its loose.
  2. These ones are 23inches wide, its actualy fine, they still feel too wide but there staying put. I've had the Blade for a while now, I wanted something Profile and 7075 but I need to change it to a 26T as I want my back end slammed.
  3. From what I hear, no, they dent easily but I haven't heard of many going tits up so al should be good.
  4. Was it you I spoke to on the phone. God were the bearings an arse to put in and my bleeding cable snapped, I orered another from form you guys.
  5. Does anyone know who they use to send the realy big items, is it Parcel Force or another Courrier.
  6. Armageaddon I think that was the one where they flew into the meteor and blew it up. I got a ful body goosebump thing when the Body Guard song hit the best bits.
  7. Working brakes are a must, last time it failed I ended up withb my back embeded in a wall.
  8. It could ahve been a Proper blue rim on that guys biek you saw. Anyone noticed how BMX is turing into trials ow frame little seats wide bars silver frames and funky coloured parts
  9. Im going to be in Lonsdon but I'm not riding until 1-2pm so I might see people down there. 10.30 is too early for me now.
  10. Attempted a spoke mod, not for the first time but i went wrong this time so I have been forced to run without a brake, oh well time for a freecoster to be trendy again. Nah kidding I'll sort it soon freecoasters are not for me,too much hassle.
  11. Nose manual king with bars like that.
  12. Cheers you've given me an idea and seeing as I'm so bored and the weathers wank, I'm going to cover my bike in this werid foil sticky tape stuff I have.
  13. Cut the seat tube down and take tat front brake ting off. Keep it yellow looks good.
  14. From a distance the bike looks all nice but underneat the thing is a mess, I dont have much eft chainstay left and the downtubes not too mice now it had a run in with a railing and lost and so did my bum hole and leg.
  15. You have to set enough slack ofr the hub to disengage and that means you loss engagement when it comes to pedalling again. Freecoasters don't have a place in trials, you'll die using one.
  16. I did a bit of painting and it went fine this time. I'm trying to decide if I want to buy something for the bike, choices are pedals as mine are a bit past there sell by date, ti axle nuts as I just can or some new tyres. I might aslo pantmy frame gloss black depends if I want to spend £50 on the primer and paint and can be bothered to take my bike apart again.
  17. Also if you were sending to anywher ein Essex there was a Royal Mail lorry fire a week or so back and it could have been in that truck. Was on the news.
  18. I'll have another look but I'm 95% sure its in London. No clue where that wal is in Lonodn but I know where theres a curved walride by Liverpool Street Station. Somoene told me theresamassive curved wallride towards Battersea area and theres so great riding all along the river bank on the side mi5/6 is going towards battersea, havent been there for ages. Theres a short bank to wallride in round clapham junction, mate showed me it years ago. Bit in the vid is defo 100% London, I remeber those marble ledges with benches on them. I staked it big time on the ledges, so waxed up. There is a massive 20step plus stairset there with a rail, f**king crazy if anyone does it.
  19. We live a shit world, the guy was partaking in smethinghe realy enjoyed doing, maybe lived for it and its the thing that killed him. I often wonder about God sometimes. I doubt the helmet would have helped, like Mark said th helmet wouldn't have stopped internal injuries or stopped the guy breaking his neck. I will put a black ribbon on my bike in respect as nothing ever seems fair in th cruel world.
  20. I have nothing against riding its jsut the noobs all want to do it and they havent a cue how to ride so why do it, it makes riding crap. Its for those that need a challenge. My mate is a perfect example, Edwins kool brakeless, he cant do jack on a bike. Hw wants a coaster now, god god god. He doesnt even ride that much now, 5 weeks I've tried to get him to ride always I'm injured bikes broen. Your bikes not broken you dont ride it. Sorry rant over. In voices at 24:40 is in London. Thats for Mark. The place is amazinging, marble ledges, benches everywhere just security can be tight.
  21. Voices http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=-12...=joe+cox+voices
  22. 8inchs and 25inches wide but mine are 23inches wide.
  23. Odyssey Gedda 2 grips, I wanted thick grips to soft the impact on the front. I messed the bars up already with a nice over the bars stack, it was gong to happen sooner or later. Bars feel really nice, pulled a few moves and they felt like I'd had them for months.
  24. I wnet with a friend to cyclone and I saw the Bob Screbo bars and I fell hook line and sinker for them.
  25. Its impossible to implement such ideas without the proper cycling framework or infrastructure inplace. If London was more like Holland or Belgium then it would be feasible. First there needs to be a proper cycle path network. Drivers need to be re educated about how to use the road with such cycle networks inplace. The laws need to be changed. Then when its safe for people to cycle I gree there sould be a proper test like for driving a car but it shuldn't cost an arm and a leg but cyclists shouldnt be taxed for usingt he road as their not the ones destroying the world, they may be some other way but thats a different story. Cyclists should have to get their bike serviced every 6 months and prove it but ti should be free to start with and then if cycling takes over then it should cost, and lets face it the car will always win and be the dominate force on our roads. Theres so many things wrong with those ideas and so much more that needs to be put inplace beforeit can even be implemented successsfully.
