  1. sickkkkkk paint job, love it
  2. Im running a coust v2....and thats +40 i can tap that fairly well...like 42" max, although on my mates +25 control its definitely far easier. Higher bar and stem might be worth a try? im cahnging mysetup tomorrow to have a go
  3. zoot is a go got brakes sorted as well....might have to grind the rear rim, but ill see how it goes
  4. nope... ive had this problem several times before....do not grease it. This seems to cause the psiton to swell increasing the problem. take the piston out, remove the o-ring...and using a piece of fine grade glass paper, sand the whole of the piston....keep checking its shape, and obviously sand it uniformly to prevent high or low spots.
  5. Heard some talk of a newquay ride on the weekend? wheres everyone meeting and that? any ideas? all welcome ill be filming the whole ride so thats a good reason to come, get yourself immortalized in on of my films haha
  6. i have 3 spare....email me and im sure i can sort you out alexdark2@hotmail.co.uk
  7. erm cookyboy on here uses it, but he's not exactly a basher try him?
  8. personally...only two setups id run: echo cnc /tryall cranks with a tensile or maybe an eno FFW orrrr tryall/echo cnc/ middleburns with a king hub
  9. damn straight although a mate of mine has just put a 47mm wide rear rim on the front of his planet-x dj bike ....looks....interesting with a 21mm wide rear rim
  10. strong frames....you probably want to look at the pre-2009 deng range. Of all the stock (26") frames I've tried the following really stood out in terms of ride: Echo control 07 short Adamant A1 07 short Zona Zenith Coustellier V2 GU typhoon With the exception of the coustellier, they're all extremely strong frames, although quite heavy ( 2~ish kilos ) compared to the 1.57kg coustellier.
  11. certainly no better than the magura ones....although if you need extra heel clearance they may be worth considering. The older generation echo slaves have been known to leak apparently, so that's worth bearing in mind.
  12. i used a pair of try-all rims for some downhill and dirt jumping, so id reckon the echo's would take it just fine.... id personally run a pair of echo urban fronts...as the rear are normally a bit wide for some frames
  13. freewheel will probably be an acs claw... id pay £150-175 peronally
  14. such a grogeous frame....ditch the seat and stem, and itd be a winner, love the headtube design
  15. no worries mate, althpough in future...quote the person that helped you and not yourself
  16. eee im looking forward to riding this if you want some filming done just yell:)
  17. right....break it down... * pedal stroke * brake release * body movement Rock onto the back wheel with your brakes locked. when your bike is at a relative angle to the ground of around 45*, ratchet your good ( or chocolate foot ) ready to kick. Release the rear, kick, and jump forwards and up, grab the brake again and lower the bike. To see the move in a video click here To see an alternative explanation click here Any problems, msn me.
  18. if it were me...id change the freewheel to a tensile or rockman, and the brake pads to some cnc'd cousts
  19. i run a 90 x 10* tryall 25.4 stem....with a pair of mid rise alloy dmr wingbars 1cm stacker as well.
  20. depends if you abuse the shit out of it or not....
  21. 18psi raer....20 front...stock, highroller single ply front, dual ply maxxis rear.... 67kg
  22. thats on a continental...he's talking about the kenda
  23. erm just got back from holiday yesterday word has it...so i hope he'll be out riding with us soon?
