    661 did a carbon version of their standard lid didn't they? Thats gonna be pretty light.
  2. Quoted from Biketrials.com: Used Product For 6 Months Strengths strong,looks good Weaknesses chainstay Similar Products Used leeson clear 660,saracen x-ile+x-tort Review this frame is hardcore and wel fun to ride, the chainstays are quite short and the front is long but not too long so u can still do bunny hops easily.the small(10inch)frame is well good i love them, im on my second bcoz i snapped the right hand chainstay near the bb and loadsa people have,but otherwise its solid Used Product For 6 Months Strengths Looks amazing... inspires confidence because its so damn beefy, and the downtube is gorgeous! Weaknesses Manufacturing quality... Unfortunately the first one I owned came to me brand new with a Bent back end... they had misaligned it in the jig. They then replaced it with a 2002 model which performed fine until the driveside chainstay-dropout weld cracked Similar Products Used Pace RC250t, Planet X Zebdi, Echo ES2, Echo Pure Review This was my first 26" frame I owned. It looked so nice and rode quite well, not as well as some, but well enough for me back then... it's just a real shame they didn't make it well enough. The first frame was just disappointing really, the back end being squiff from stage 1. On it's second chance a weld cracked, which isn't really on. Maybe I rode it too harshly, who knows, but 6 months isn't enough for £400 UK. Used Product For Tested Only Strengths colour. Weaknesses The size is too small, chainstay, too beefy, looks ect Similar Products Used Brisa, Echo, zoo ect Review This frame is far too over priced and is not that strong. Used Product For 2 Years or more Strengths great balance, and stabality Weaknesses weak chainstays. Review the Orange frame is quite long, great stability and balance. one problem for me was the right chainstay that snapped, many others who have rode this frame have had this problem. it has lasted me for 2 and a half years and now sits in my room with the rest of my snapped frames, lol.
  3. Yeah, you're right... Everyone in the trials world wants a modern geometry bike. No street riders around at all. No sir. And yes, i have had plenty of experience with them, thanks! You say you've been out of touch for 6 years, and yet you're trying to argue they don't crack. I've got some proto MAD forks in my garage that are still in 1 piece and are about 5 years old. I can pretty much bend the fork legs in with my hands so they touch. If i whakced them on my rig today, doesn't mean they're not shit forks!
  4. Rad, very different... Thanks
  5. Aye should be fine... Take a look at getting the headtube faced (if not already done) though, mine was pretty damn wonkey.
  6. Do you see many around today? No, thats because most of them cracked round the bb area like the Zebedi frames did.
  7. Downhill you say? Looks like a nice freeride bike
  8. Maybe its because you use terms such as 'firewalled'?
  9. Are you made to do gym training? Why do you do it if you don't enjoy it?
  10. Hopes won't fit the back of a mod due to the different spacing. For the back: Profile, King BMX, or go ffw.
  11. Very nice veedyo there sir. Any more from Barcelona?
  12. Don't bother. But if you must, take it apart using the special King tools/a bikeshop (or if you're ghetto like Janson use a hammer/screwdriver). Get the spring (theres only one, and its a big jobber) and pull it apart gently, making sure not to distort it.
  13. How do you know it hasn't affected your riding? Maybe if you didn't smoke, you could sidehop an inch higher and gap half a foot bigger. no one knows. But then i guess you are an amazing rider so its ok.
  14. She's barely hit puberty! Someone could have been in a 5 year relationship, but if they're only 10 it doesn't make it right they're shagging the f**k outa each other does it! I'd definately do her though.
  15. Sit in my room playing World of war.
  16. Are you using the little black bit that goes over the qr too? Or just bolting it straight to the mech hanger?
  17. Managed to pick up an older style one from a local shop Cheers for the help.
  18. Cheers Craig.. I'm after an earlier one ideally (tried n tested and that) but i really wanna ride this weekend and can't find anywhere selling the pre 08 ones. Will check the local bike shops, if not it'll have to be an '08
  19. Yeah me too. The f**k are you on about?!
