  1. Kevin and Perry Go Large on TV last night. Never seen that one before... :ermm:"
  2. I hear they work awesome when your chain snaps going down a hill.
  3. I found that for tapping to both wheels, you can really push forwards on the bars and push into and through the wall. But for tapping to rear, you have to go into then up the face of the wall to shoot you out more vertical... This'd be way easier to explain if i had a bike, and you, infront of me (Y)
  4. On the trials bike: Tiagra mech, King Kog + Hyperglide cogs, KMC Thin, XTR cabling, Sram Rocket/Attack shifter. On the 4X bike: Sora mech, Sora cassette, XT cabling, XT shifter, PC99 chain. Cheaper is better usually... Well, for the avarage rider anyways. If you wanna ride like Vince, you will need to buy a 330 Euro Tigo/Try-All mech.
  5. My Mission forks had 'Aprebic' stamped onto the steerer tube, as that's the rival to the ping pong factory in which they're made. Have a look for that...
  6. For AS level: B: Media Studies C:Geology C: Geography C: English Lit. 'Appy :(
  7. :) Try riding with the disk for a bit? Keep pouring water on it and doing a few stoppies/normal trials and see what happens. That's whats sorted out my disks in the past :P
  8. Haha, ok... You realise it doesn't matter that you have 4 bolt mounts because you have an adaptor to allow you to run canti studs? And running a Maggie on canti studs when you have 4 bolt mounts is possibly the most retarded thing ever. Sorry, i just like to prove people wrong. :P
  9. Yeh, at my school you can collect them after 11, ring after 12, and if not they'll just send them to you :P Did you fill out envelopes with your name/address on them in the last few weeks of term?
  10. Yes, if you have post/V/two bolt mounts. However if you have 4 bolt mounts, then no they don't.
  11. You had a look on CRC? I seem to remember them doing Maggie spares. :-
  12. If someone finds a clear hose, adding food colouring to water would enable you to have thuuper thexy colours in your hoses.
  13. Hmm... That bike looks like it's be awesome to ride... :- Anyways, maybe Mavic will see the need for this wonder-rim and srtart producing them for little monies. Maybe.
  14. OMGZ no for sale/wanted in NMC! *Insert quotation here*
  15. Looks good, though with that torsion bar it looks like the disk mount was an after thought rather than a specifically designed frame. Have you seen the Peyto rear mounts? They're designed specifically for an Avid and have post mounts rather than having an IS mount plus the adaptor. Anyways, let us know how it goes. Is there any problems with spoke flex/caliper flex? You running full length outer?
  16. Try the Surly cog? There was a topic on it not long ago, search for that. Is it a steel or an aluminuim driveshell?
  17. Like 4 hours nearly every evening is when i be on the intersurfs. Thats mainly on TF, OTN, TartyBikes.co.uk, BBC.co.uk or porn of some sort.
  18. My bikes never been broken enough to warrent a good ol' cry. Tyres are the worst, coming away with bruised thumbs, skinned knuckles and broken tyre levers. I've given myself a good talking to when i don't make certain moves sometimes, if that counts?

    Spoke Size....

    Dunno, but i'd guess it'd be about 3 times easier to do radial due to you not having to cross them and stuff... Wow, what an informative post :D

    Snapped Ashton..

    No back brake? BTW nice sig (Y)"
  21. The easiest way around this is to not get triple clamps. If you desperately want them to look cool, buy some older ones, they'll have shorter travel (think RockShox Judy XLT's). Just get single crowns for the reasons listed: 1. Cheaper. 2. Lighter. 3. Can do X-ups till your heart is happy and you've fulfilled your dreams of X-up-dom. 4. It won't wreck your frame when you crash, nor will it put extra strain on Mr H.Tube. 5. You won't look like a wannabe DH'er. 6. Bigger choice.
