  1. seems mighty darn complicated think ill stick with water, although do post up if it is completely successful
  2. 100-120mm stem, mid rise, wide bars but with a fair bit of rise
  3. im eagerly awaiting the "meek - justice"
  4. supposed to be pretty good and strong from what ive heard..same as this though im fairly sure http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_inf...;products_id=31
  5. bigman...your bodges might as well have been factory made....awesome job on the rims as usual
  6. ive got echo cnc cranks, gu bash, truvativ gigapipe dh bb (128) and a tensile FFw....and it still rubs, no way to make it fit. Tensile cranks, or new bb would solve it, but it's sort of groubd itself a little groove in my oh so soft bb shell so all's good.
  7. "MERLIN WHEELBUILDS ARE SH...." Smithwheels, the wheelbuild james wishes he'd used for that drop Haha, classic I would put a serious post in this thread...but for me riding/rides/the scene in general has just got better, apparently there were glory days, but i hadn't even heard of trials then ...
  8. basically due to how accurately the threads are machined...in general a higher end freewheel will have less "float" than say a cheap dicta.
  9. yeh she's a bit of a beast..strong as fook though
  10. seems like it'd be easier to count who's not coming to this ride seems like less than ten at the moment
  11. looks far better than the adamant, nice one
  12. No way you'll snap that...its 6mm thick alloy plate, ridiculously strong...
  13. i reckon pure white......would look amazing
  14. dmr v8s fo sho.....v12s are overpriced and develop play quite quickly, wellgo v8 copies snap easily....caged vps just twist / blunt / don't grip Also, the "pimp my pedal kits" do not use, they've got alloy pins instead of steel, so wear down horrendously quickly...plus all the anodising wears off in about a week or two
  15. 18:16 for me.... roughly approximates to 18:15 on 175's though
  16. the later rex is an amazing frame, slack head-angled lower bb coust frame; but bombproof. The older rex, well that's an unknown quantity for a lot of people; around 1040 length, minus 5 bb height and around 390cs i think? I wouldn't recommend this bike for starting though, would be quite a pig on the back wheel for a beginner...zebdi-ish geo i think, okay for a seasoned streety rider though seen the user that bought this bike ends in 1978..same as your birth year; so im going to assume you've bought this...bit pointless me posting the above, but oh well
  17. im going to assume he knows him.... If you dont get it heat-treated, the aluminium is around 80% weaker due to the structure of the metal becomign changed during the welding process.. Welding and heat treating should cost around £35 i'd say...
