    My Koxx

    very nice, but it looks like a levelboss, i very nearly bought one before i got my echo control. oh and where in devon are you from?
  2. only thing i have done is went on a mates bike pedald off and my jeans got stuck in his FFW and snapped his rear axle, but i did pay for a new axle and bearing kit because i felt bad. its not trials related by one of my mates jumped my jump bike landed and rode straight into a tree and buckled my wheel but we just laughed it off.
  3. off topic but nice one robin while your at it you can do my fork and front of my frame. thanks liam
  4. well in my town of about 25,000 people there is 4 trials riders in total so i think the number of trials riders world wide is very little.
  5. in my shed going start locking it to my jump bike and to a ladder though as there is at least £1300 of bikes in there and i'm a broke student, so i'm not going to risk leaving anything unlocked, it is covered by the insurance though.
  6. i think the cameras and fones and stuff can sometimes be under the house insureance if you have a certain policy, but im not sure. anyways what tools did you have, thats alot of moneys worth of tools to carry around?
  7. rearly well done i enjoyed looking at all the photos ,and the layout of the site is very simple.only one thing is that i think the preveiw of the picture before you click on it could be a bit bigger but that might just be me. but i did expect something different when i clicked on the birds link. liam
  8. robins iolo that has a picture posted earlier in this topic, his bike manuals incredibly nicely and its a tad longer than most 24inches around so its also very nice on the rear wheel for trialsey stuff, apparently it spins a beauty.i think hes running 20t-18t but i'm not certain. he chose all the geo for that frame so the best thing to do is talk to him id imagine. good luck liam
  9. why did you carry £170 in your wallet and what tools add up to £150 all you need a a 5mm,4mm and a 8mm but sorry to hear about that, how did it get nicked? where did you leave it. liam broome
  10. i see you posted on the bike ogre's selling for a mate, as you can see from the pics its mint, hasnt got a mark on it.

    Working Out

    spot on what my tutor/pe teacher says, i dont think that you can go wrong with what "badboy" said.
  12. i agree 5 bikes is a bit O.T.T because after a few weeks you become used to a bike and its setup, a mod and a stock is accptable but why 4 stocks? and yes that control is very nicely kited out. well done.
  13. saying that i have the 04 short and with the pace forks im running it comes out a 1080mm but then im 6ft exactly so its quite a nice length bike.
  14. doesn't matter only a handful of echo controls have cracked and i believe they had taken a serious beating over a long period of time. a good set of vees are equally as good as maggies look at what Ali C does and hes running vees front and rear.
  15. i got a control and havnt looked back since, there amazing... what you think isnt she a beauty? ide go for echo over adament anyday.
  16. not that i know of i've rebuilt 4 brakes this week and two being hopes and none of them have a one way valve. the easiest way is to bleed from the caliper up. liam
  17. most of the internals inside a maggie are plastic so water wont corrode them, just use water it feels the nicest. i haven't added anti-freeze to mine but i might sometime soon as winter gets worse.
  18. the lever and caliper are ugly, looks like a serious bit of kit though.
  19. it might be me but ide say some one with commonsense wouldnt use a plastic tub.
  20. would feel weird and you would not gain much from it, plus you would have to buy two different cranksets liam broome
  21. ide rather ask for other things for xmas, because all year round i spend all my money on bike parts, just makes a change to get something different.
  22. you want to run a pair of burns with a ffw? wont happen.
