Yeah yeah, I know - but I was singing the merits of a cheaper one so long as it's got sealed bearings, as I've not once had an issue with them.

Very good, yes. But to be honest - (and I'm not too sure how much ProII fronts are) I'd save some cash and just get the Onza/other basic SEALED BEARING hub. I've had one for... pretty much 3 years now, and it's still going strong, and spins for ages. Having said that - ff you can get a ProII for cheap, do it for the bling factor

You call that a crack?! Haha. We call those tiny little hairline cracks a crack. That's a f**king chasm

I don't know anywhere, but - out of interest - why? I find the current tyres on the market to be much better performing.

I tried cotton tape for a bit. Quite nice, but ended up too skinny and I kept getting badly timed hand-cramps If you can get it on the right thickness for your preference, there's no reason why not. Just another option to the foam/rubber argument.

It's bad manners to go to someone else's house and say things they can't hear or understand. What makes you think the forums are any different? As far as videos go, it was kinda cack, I'm afraid.

That was my point. I was asking if everyone else was the same - and I realise now I should've put "anyone" rather than "everyone".

Does this question depress everyone else? I'm not really proud of anything I've done. Making my guitar is the closest I've got.

Are you that dude in Shepshed with the loud car? Edti: Forgot to mention what you wanted to hear, very nice colour

Hope Mono if you can afford one, BB7 if not. BB7's turn out just as good, but take a long time to bed in enough to be as good, in my experience.

I ride almost every day, and have Try-All tyres. I run them quite squidgy, and they're just about bald after 8-10 weeks. The less you ride, and harder you run them, the longer they'll last. They are absolutely brilliant, performance-wise though. SO grippy, and I folded my rim the other day without getting a pinch. Wear quicker than other tyres, but if you can afford them, totally worth it for the performance gain. If you can't warrant the cash, Nothing much wrong with Maxxis. Still pretty grippy, and just a bit less pinch protction.

:| And there was me thinking it was simply about having fun riding a bike! I'ma have to have a rethink of my passtime.

Even better - slot an adjustable spanner over it. Also easier as you get more leverage

See you at 11!

It was raining earlier, but has now stopped. Still very overcast though. It's brightening up - but I dunno, might not be worth the petrol money for you.

P'raps not, but eBullies are about as cool as it's possible to become.

Gettin a new one from Halfords in the morning. If that one turns up, it's pretty f**ked anyway.

Bring Me the Horizon - Sleep with One Eye Open, but the Tek-One remix. I don't know why I know that - I don't even like them

...The up to front on that snowwy block was played at LEAST four times.

...So long as it's sideways Hehe.

Don't listen to Revolver, he ain't nothin' but a hippocite Says TGS riding is shit, but at the same time switched from a streety riding bike to a TGS specific one.

In the least insulting way possible, the best thing about that video was the music behind it. It really was quite wonderful, and I'm sure I've heard it before. What is it? N.B. That was meant as a compliment to the music, not an insult to the riding. That was pretty decent too, but there's an awfull lot of repeated clips in there.

Haha. I just read the rest of the thread. It's quite obvious I didn't before I posted It's not impossible to go towards your good foot. Most people find it harder, so it's deffinately worth at least trying the "normal" way, but if it doesn't feel right - just stick it out.

Going away from your leading foot tends to make it easier for most people as it allows more room for your arse to sink, thus bringing the bike up higher when tucking. It's by NO means the "right" way, though. I used to, and just switched one day for no reason. It just suddenly made more sense to go the other way. A great, if over-used example is Tunnicliffe. He's left foot forward, and sidehops to the left, and doesn't seem to struggle too much for height :Pa

Boumsong - because I don't like riding with lots of people, ride a 24, or have the petrol money Bigman - Lancaster Road in Leicester is not free, but £3.20 for the day.
