  1. Do you have a brake booster fitted? That will help with the flex, although Maguras are pretty powerful so all frames will flex when pulled hard enough even with a booster.
  2. The skipping isn't normal but the loose bearings are. If its skipping, you could well have snapped a pawl or spring. Try opening it up and see if you can see anything. That is, of course, if you are sure its your freewheel. With a 12t sprocket I;d say it was lack of chain wrap. get a dual wheel tensioner and see if its any better.
  3. Looks fantastic.

  5. Sweet, we had a good crack (as you can see?!) but gave up in the end after a nearly losing an eyeball to a set of needlenose pliers.
  6. Tarty sells it. Some of the footage was pretty old when it was released.
  7. Sick list of computers bro. I think their rep is changing, they are a budget brand and some of their earlier stuff certainly shows it. They have built some real good starter frames (T-Pro mod frame for example) and are starting to get some fairly decent higher end stock frames these days. Some things still need to be improved though, take a look at the Genesis full bike - Onza doesn't have the brand cache it might need on a £1000 bike. Tensile cranks, onza bar and stem etc just seem 'cheap' on a bike like that. No doubt they are fine, but its deemed cheap.
  8. That was flippin super. I don't know if its the fact America is a much better country and makes shit look awesome, the camera, Dannys filming or the editing or a combo of all the above, but that had such a good 'feel' to it. Much more like a BMX vid, its actually had some thought put into it. Great song, awesome riding, good all round, nice one
  9. For all intents and purposes vodka is just water and cooking oil is mineral oil.
  10. I had an Audi estate as my first car, drove for 2 years and didn't crash it but gave it to my dad and bought another estate. Was expensive to insure on my own policy, even though it was worth less than £5,000 it could do alot of damage to a Bentley. Do you want something big to take bikes in or are you just after something to get you from A to B? I had a Lupo as a courtesy car for a couple days and loved it for shredding about town.
  11. Try-all Stiky front, conti der kaiser/der baron back.
  12. Southerndown is pretty close and good. Hit up John Shrewsbury
  13. Looked like he was wired on something, did a billion mini hops before everything. some interesting moves in there though, and they were all pretty huge so fair one.
  14. f**kin sick logo either way.
  15. I use normal innertubes from tesco in my 2.5 tyres and they are fine. Its only really DH tubes that technically go up to the larger volume. EDIT: sorry this is talking 26" tubes, I guess you're mod, sorry!
  16. Mod stocks are just stocks with a 116mm back end so they use a mod hub rather than a 135mm stock hub.
  17. I havn't seen that, no. A film? I'm guessing somewhere in South Wales?
  18. Where did you used to live? Sounds like a fun place
  19. Thanks Ads, trying to help someone out via telephone
  20. I'm calling on the forums expertise to help a brotha out. Trying to get the lockring off an Echo SL but its proving to be troublesome. Anyone know if its reverse or standard thread? Any trick to getting it off? No I can't ring Tarty. Need this shit ASAP.. Much appreciated!
