  4. I would stick with the creepy crawler's there emmence tyres, they last for ages and have real good grip. Matt
  5. I'm near farnham man.Perhaps we can hook up for a ride sometime i'm 14 so it wil be good to ride with someone who is around my age. What bike you ride? I ride an 03 t-pro with eno freewheel and many other upgrades. Cheers Matt

  7. Welcome to the forum mate. nejoy your stay. Loving your bike man. Matt
  8. Looks nice mate. But you won't get very far with out a back brake lol. Matt
  9. Couldn't agree more Mark. I wanted red rim tape for my rear drilled rim bought 1 small roll of insulation tape and I thought it did the job better than rim tape. The cost of the tape is 35p at my hardware shop and is very worth it. Obviously if you need it for two rims you will need 2 rolls. It will cost you no more than a quid to do this. Hope this helped. Matt.
  10. Hi I am going to go up london for a ride on this Saturday coming. Meet at shell/across the road from shell at 11. Hope to see you guys there. Matt p.s If you a full member (been validated) can u pos thtis in rides/locations.
  11. If you read the description you will see that it says for booster also i'm using 30 mm bolts with out a booster at the moment and there fine just needed new 1's as mine are starting to round off. Bought some now topic can be closed thanks for your help. Matt.
  12. There for 4 bolt booster with the spacers.
  13. Hey guys just wondering whether these bolt would be sufficient length and the right size for my rear magura with out a booster. Bolts Cheers Matt.
  14. There are a few ways I have done this before, 1. Get a flat blade screwdriver just smaller than the size of the allen key head on the bolt. Place it in the bolt and smack is a few times hard with a hammer. You will now have groves in your bolt but you can get it in and out. 2. Glue an allen key to the bolt with super glue, leave it over night to dry and screw it out. Works everytime. OR you could spray your frame with your choice of colour following the step by step guide i gave you. then mask up the frame around the bash and spray the bash a different colour. Cheers Matt.
  15. Yes and no mate because lacquer makes the paint stronger I found so it did not chip off as easy. Hope this also help. Matt
  16. Hello this is how I sprayed my frame, Step 1 Take your bike apart so your frame is bare (remove bottom bracket, headset cups etc) Step 2 Sand down frame until the lacquer has been removed. No need to go to bare metal. To make this even easier I recommend using a electric sander. A black and decker mouse is good for this. Step 3 Paint your frame with primer. For darker colours like black use red primer. For lighter colours like yellow use grey primer. Leave each coat of primer for 15 to 20 minutes between each coat. I recommend about 3 coats of primer. Step 4 Leave primer to fully harden for 24 hours. Step 5 Now with very fine sand paper gently roughen up the primer surface this will help the paint to stick better. Step 6 Now you are ready to spray the colour onto your frame. Step 7 Spray the colour onto your frame until no primer can be seen this is your first coat. Leave for 15 to 20 minutes. I again recommend 3 coats of colour. Step 8 Leave colour to fully harden for 24 hours. Step 9 Your are now ready to spray your lacquer. Step 10 Spray your lacquer straight onto your paint surface. Leave each coat for 15 to 20 minutes. I again recommend 3 coats of lacquer. Step 11 LEave lacquer to fully harden for 24 hours. Step 12 After 3 days of spraying your frame is now ready to build. Step 13 Build up your bike and go ride. I hope this helps you man. I also recommend you cover over any threads on your frame. For example your magura mount thread and your bottom bracket threads. A good way to do this is mask them up. Cheers Matt
  17. I hate maggie levers. Fell off earlier today and my lever punctured my leg 2 inches into my leg and through the muscle. Needed 3 stiches and can not ride for a week. Matt
  18. Oh ok I shant worry then. Cheers guys. Matt
  19. Yeah man good thinking, but eno's are a bitch to get off. to hit it I reckon i would hove to hit the edge of a wall on a side hop but I sidehop the opposite way so that doesn't matter. Does anyone know the best way to get an eno off. Thanks for your help. Matt.
  20. Hi, the other day my bottom bracket came through the post with my zona bash plate for my bike which i am building up. The length of the bottom bracket is 127.5mm which is the only bottom bracket that I can get to fit as 122.5 was to small. So I fitted it all on tightened my cranks to my bottom bracket put on my bash plate and my freewheel is not covered the by that bash. I'm running a 18t eno trials freewheel on onza musleman cranks. My cranks bolts are done up as tight as possible by my dad so that is not the issue. The freewheel sticks out about 5mm. So what I want to know is will this be ok? Will it cause any damage to my eno? Thanks for any help in advance. Cheers Matt.
  21. Hi I have had this headset for over 2 years now. It's been back and forth from my bmx's and trial's bikes. The headset cost me £15 from my local bike shop and since I bought it I have never regretted it. It's still as smooth as the day I bought it. Picture Good Points 1. Very smooth 2. Long lasting 3. Needs very little maintenance 4. Very cheap Bad Points I have not come across any yet. The Headset includes 1. Complete headset including bearings, headset cups, fork races 2. Also comes with top cap and bolt with star fangled nut. 3. Has free fsa full speed ahead sticker 4. Comes with step by step guide instructions to fit your headset. The headset can be bought in 1 1/8 and 1.5 sizing for non threaded forks. Overall this headset is amazing very durable and very smooth. for £15 you can not go wrong. I give this headset 10 out of 10 and recommend it to any bike rider. Hope this helps some of you when choosing your headset. Thanks Matt
