The Duck

speedy... Anyway, yeah sounds about right, not too sure about top tube length... Never even thought about it! But i think Higher BB makes gaps to front wheel easier? You need to get your body weight up, and forwards. And with a higher bb, your already in that position (sort of)... Best i can do lol Max

Long = Good side hopping etc. Short = Good chucking around (taps etc) BB rise = I find it doesn't make that much difference on mods because there all pretty similar anyway... Chainstay length= [Long] good for side hopping [short] Good for taps etc. Correct me if I'm wrong...

The Czar looks nice (nut case for running a BB5 on the back) but you'd be surprised how nice black and white looks!? I'll have a Czar sometime in the next month, mostly black components, otherwise silver... Looks really nice. I find people get sick of brightly coloured components very quickly. Tarty Dave's Czar is really nice, kept it simple, but put fluro rims on it. Anyway I'll stop rambling about Czars now...

Halfords foam.

Yeah, 1030 would be ok, its still not that long... When you start playing around the 1040-1045 mark, its been taken a bit too far. Unless its an old python long...

Mostly true but...^^ The new compound echo pads seem really really good, same sort of feel as zoos except slightly harder so, have a much better wear rate.

Would agree with whoever said it, there are some mental ones in reading... wheeler did one to front, and if he cocked up he would have fallen about 30ft... By the council offices/police station... Will try and find a pic... Ok, its a very very bad diagram, but if your there, you'll know what i mean. Its on the other side of those railings. Where is that one?

Right, I hardly ever ride natural, i have been on a short (1030) 07 python most recently, and i just want to know what sort of Geo on a stock would make for the smoothest changeover, or weather it doesn't really make much odds... Spent quite a lot of time on my mates short Pure 07, which felt nice, but i don't know if i'd be suited to a higher BB? The only stock I've been on with a high BB was a +55 A2 which i didn't really like much... I'm thinking to go for a new Czar... Good choice? Please help. Sorry if this comes across as a stupid topic, i just really haven't got a clue.

Yes and no, you see dan wearing my t-shirt because he wanted one to match his bike. haha.

Rwiley (blue) and Ghetto_Rider (green) me behind my 4mp cannon...

rwiley.

Looks nice, can't comment on how it rides... never been on one! Would look better with hifi forks... which i happen to be selling lol Nah, looks really nice though.

Wooo Sex... Looks really really nice Ryan... How are you planning on extending the bars? Heard about people doing it, haven't got a clue how its done... Super cool though.

Contact onza, they'll sort it for you for next to nothing. Just say blah blah half price replacement policy blah blah...

Looks sweet. Cranks are too short though!!

Jeeeeeeeeeeeeesus that proto koxx!

Ok, thanks very much for the help. Does anyone know how much (%) it'll cost me? roughly? And is there any way i can say 'No, I don't want it, please return to sender' ?? Thanks very very much.

The package is from a shop, but it is not marked as such. The item is not in its original box, and it doesn't contain a receipt. This is exactly what the tracking crap says: Date Time Location Tracking Event 06-08-2007 14:40 International Hub En route to delivery depot 06-08-2007 05:18 International Hub RELEASED WITH CHARGES 02-08-2007 21:17 International Hub AWAITING CUSTOMS CHARGING 02-08-2007 21:17 International Hub AWAITING CUSTOMS CHARGES

I've had a package from New Zealand sent over, and I looked at its 'status' and it said ...stoped at customs... customs charges added.... The box that says its a gift is ticked. I didn't realize that you could still be charged customs charges (i.e. VAT...) on a gift!! Its going to be about £250 and i haven't got £250!! What is the best argument i can come up with? Please help. Max

Me and some more of us from Abingdon are coming up to Bristol on Saturday for a spot of riding Anyone else up for it?

You can't get spares for the Try-All freewheels as far as i know. But in my experience you don't need 'em. I ran one for about 6 months and it didn't skip once, sold it on, and six months later its still working perfectly. Get one.

Your frame is boodeeful. Riding was pretty good, reminded me of me. Hated the music, sorry. Overall pretty good though.

Really really like these pictures... Particularly this one: I really do need to get my head around photoshop (if thats what you used??!) Anyway, fantazzo (as in fantastic or something...). xx
