  1. It was no ones fault really. Well you could say it was his because he only lubed it once since he had it. Oh well he has a well nice white industrys one now i think thats what he said it was anyway. Cheers BIG L
  2. Yeh im well surprised he didnt snap the lever. He is well lucky everytime he bails or something he never ever gets hurt or brakes his bike. The only things he has ever broken on his bike are them handle bars, and his old freewheel locked but that wasn't his fault. Cheers BIG L
  3. 100% mod. 1)on a mod bike you have more control over the bike which makes you look better. 2)you dont need massive wheels to get up something. 3)on a mod you are alot sharper. 4)everyone knows it's easier to bail in tricky situations on a mod. 5)if you go over the handle bars on a mod most people can put their feet down withou hitting their privates but 26" most people can't. Well there you go 5 perfectly good reasons why a mod is better Cheers BIG L!
  4. Hey mate welcome to the forum . We all will help on any questions if we can. Also how did you do your ankle in? that must p*** you off because you used to ride and you will want to ride again! Anyway hope you enjoy yourself. Cheers BIG L
  5. Yes you are right they are the same thickness. They are 2.5" wide. If i had the choice to get one alex rim or another type of rim i would get a different one as alex rims are crap!
  6. I think it's ok. But i have noticed when your just out and about, try and balance along things e.g rails and try jumping up big stuff, I know it might sound wierd but it actually improved my biking as i had better balance and a better bunny hopping technique. Give it a go it may work it may not! Cheers BIG L
  7. I know i have already replied once before. But today i dropped this six foot drop and my back brake stuck, i landed on my front wheel but amazingly i balanced on it then hopped off the front wheel to my bac and did a few pedal kick! I don't know how i did it, will not try it and it scared the living day light out of me! Cheers BIG L
  8. I was bunny hoping up this 3ft wall with my mates and landing on my back wheel and pedal kicking out of it. I said right last go then i'm going in, I hopped up the wall did one hop and randomly just let go of the brake, the wheel slipped back and i fell forward and smacked my nose on the handlebars :$ . It well hurt i felt well embarrased. Cheers BIG L
  9. No it is not heavier than the t bird. I ridea t pro they are pretty light and easy to manouver!!
  10. Personly thats a nice bike. Although if i had the money to upgrade it i would buy some ZOO forks they are quality, a echo stem and echo handlebars very light and strong. And in the end i would get a new frame maybe an echo one. Hope ive helped! Cheers BIG L
  11. There is a point and there isn't. The point is getting your bike sprayed to look good because every bike does when it's been sprayed. And there isn't a point beacause you will probaly scratch it all up again! Cheers BIG L
  12. I know this may sound stupid to many (no offence beginners) but when i learnt to get up a 2ft wall with out using my pedals or bashplate or without bunny hopping. We call it getting up something clean you may call it different!
  13. What started it off for me is when me and my mates used to go bmxing allot. We kept on seeing these guys on funny bikes without a seat hopping off, up and over stuff. One day we went with them and found out they was called trials bikes and they were ultra light . We saw them hopping off stuff so we decided to wheelie off big stuff and we got to about 6ft! We asked one of them why did he start trials and he said to do bigger drops than on his old bmx. So what we thought is if he used to do what we did, we could maybe do what he did on his trials bike. Then we all got trials bikes, i got an onza t-vee, one of my mates got a saracen mad 2 zero , another got a 2002 t pro and the other one got a hardcore bike (never heard of it). At first it was so hard to do anything and the guy who ridded trials before told us if we learnt to trackstand we would learn lots quickly. Then we mostly picked up the rest of the stuff from watching others and videos and now we are pretty good (almost as good as him now). And thats how i got into the amazing sport and will stick with it! Cheers BIG L
  14. Yeh but he has done a 7ft drop with them but they didn't snap. How weird is that and anyway lucky he wasn't doing a big drop because that could of seriously hurt him!
  15. I don't know what they was he said they were old monty ones but it didn't convince me!
  16. A rather snazy bike my freind. Your rear rim is very stylish and goes very well with your hub . Keep the good work up and please don't scratch it as it is such a good bike. Cheers BIG L
  17. Me and my mate steve was riding from my house to his house. We was picking up speed and he went to bunny hop a speed bump and his handle bars snapped. At first i thought he was trying to do it one footed. But as it turned out when he pulled up the left side snapped off and he atoumaticly brand his right foot up to try and balance. This didn't work and he slid about 6 feet along the ground but amazingly he wasn't hurt all he did was snap his bars. Not even his magura hose snapped! Sorry about the size of the pictures! Cheers BIG L
  18. Personly i think it is pants. For one it is well to light and two the stem is like a tree stump the stem is huge and i don't like the ride att all. Cheers BIGL
