  1. A rear disk will die doing sidehops no more than a rear mech would... so whats the problem? :shifty:
  2. I'm running one with a brisa carbon booster at the moment. I just dont have a seat in it... simple.
  3. Wow! i could barely go on the back wheel! haha. If it held you in those conditions i think it could well be a worth while investment. Cheers for all the reply's guys (N) and expect me to be asking to have a lil ride at the warehouse if your there (Y)
  4. What do you guys with rear disks find the bite and hold to be like compared to a magura? I'm currently running koxx browns on a grind, and it works very well, but i would like it to keep working well in all conditions. If a disk could give me just as good bite and hold as my current set-up, i would be extremely happy. (Y) Terry said something about another day at the warehouse, so if anyone is there with a rear disk, expect me to be asking to try it :(
  5. thats how rocks should be ridden! (Y) Always enjoy your videos, keep it up :(
  6. I noticed that, and then the pic is of a 26ghz?? (Y)
  7. Saracen M-A-D!! or just choose the way people used to choose... "that one looks pretty... i'll buy it" :)
  8. I just ride locally really, because i dont like it when you go a distance to ride, get there, and find you can't see :)
  9. At the hampshire comp today, i noticed more people seem to be using a dual disk set-up. I have just got a hope mono trial on the front, and i would now really like to try one on the rear. It would be going on a toxsin frame. What are you oppinions? will it just snap? or will it last 6 months then snap? worth a try? Cheers, Alex.
  10. I'm so glad i only needed to go on the rear wheel twice... Motorbike grips on both sides... bald tires... bike that i have never ridden before... All made for an excelent comp i rekon :)
  11. What about if you look at the geometric diagrams?? looks can be decieving...
  12. I have my form sat next to me still :blink: It'l be another one of them send the form off and phone to confirm i can ride thingy's again... B) Oh gay, just thought i would get it all together to post on my way to college, and i have no stamps :lol: no money to buy stamps either :- :P
  13. I saw it the other night, thought it was pretty good, i havent seen the first one, but i dont think you really need to. It basically tells you what happened in the first one at the end of this one. It does keep you thinking, trying to piece it all together, but at the end it all makes sense... I'll deffinatly be going to see saw 3, i assume by the end that they will be making a third. (Y)
  14. masks? rubber solution? dont get too technical... i just did GCSE photography a couple of years ago, and discovered the wonders of playing in the darkroom...
  15. What if i get clever with the enlarger, and i print, for example, 6 shots on one piece of paper. Is that aloud?
  16. Might be time again to dust of ye ol' enlarger and bring out the real camera ;) I'm up for that. Are these photo's going to be trials related? or just photo's? ohhh.... the ideas are flying around my head already :P
  17. But if you are raising the bars aswell as the bb, the reach will stay the same? ;)
  18. Good riding, boring video though ;)
  19. I have built my last few wheels myself, I have found that spending a few £ on spokes and a little time building gives me enough extra cash in my wallet not to worry when it buckles B) I'm not the best at building wheels, my builds hold upto most of the abuse that i put them through though, and i'm getting better with each wheel i build, so hopefully, as my riding progresses, so will my wheels (Y)
  20. I wont ask why B) cheers for that (Y)
  21. Can anybody help me? I need to no what caliper i'll be needing to run a 180 rotor on the '05 saracen forks? and will it be the same for echo control forks? Cheers, Alex.
  22. Where can you get DX cogs from? :ermm:
  23. I have a tap and die set you could borrow rich B)
  24. I could try some for you. I dont no what you mean by "good" riders, but i will be having to get a new rim in the next couple of weeks, so if i have got some good pads to use, then i'll hold back on grinding it :lol: I will be running an onza rim (26" if that makes a difference)
  25. your getting a new frame, good, well done... you have got monty brake spray, why waste the money?? your friend is getting a new bike, good, well done to him too :lol:
