    Music: Pendulum - Blood Sugar Vid was pretty sweet though, some big stuff in there.. i liked the mod vs stock as well
  7. tahts what i thought....obviously a booster will reduce noise as it reduces vibration, but it should, theoretically, reduce the amount of power being wasted making the seat stays flex.....
  8. its definitely the one that makes most sense....any uni people care to contribute?
  9. sweet, looks like theres quite a few people that want to come along.....i assume a few of the plymouth lot will come as well :hint:
  10. right, theoretically the stiffer the frame / booster combo the more power should be utilised in stopping the wheel, however the more flexy, the more pwer is effectively wasted.... However, zoo pitbull 04; okay braking performance with an rb booster, better without woodstock; shite brake without, okay with coust; shite with, good without zenith; good without, havent tested it with, although i will tonight and see what difference it makes... Maybe some physicists / engineers can shed some light on this conundrum?
  11. noo....mine was the above geo, nice frames, although i suppose they're a bit outdated now a days compared to a lot of the newer frames
  12. Anyone want to ride bristol on a weekend in the next few weeks? Ideally id like a good few people out as ive never been there..... I'd take at least 2 people up with me...... Anyone else up for it?
  13. Brilliant frames, loved mine to bits and its still going strong....had about 15 owners and is pretty damn hardy...mines got about 10 dents ( at least ) some are about 2cm deep, manuals are okay on it with some risers / monty style bars and a shrotish / high stem zoo is 1065, 380, 72 , +10 so pretty damn similar to the control Okay, just repeating what ive been told in plymouth by other riders, having never had one myself i dont know directly
  14. plus 60 is , in my opinion too extreme bb height for a stock.....you get more backwheel control, as your weights farther back on the bike ( therefore closer to the rear axle, similar to having shorter chainstays ), but, the front ends harder to lift, your centre of gravity is far higher, bunnyhops are extremely hard...manuals are nigh on impossible backwheel control would be quite as lot harder, although if you have a modern stock with 375-380cs and a light front end this might not be too much of a problem.... ive had a +10 coust, a +10 pitbull and a +25 zenith.....the backwheel control is so much easier on the znith , but the 5mm shorter chainstays on the pitbull compared to the coust changed the backwheel handling a lot. With plus 10 you're obviously, say, 5cm lower down from the ledge so rthats an obvious disadvantage... i think taps, bunnyhops manuals etc are better on low bb........and sidehops and static backwheeling is easier on a higher bb +10 definitely does feel heavier to handle, although this can also be attributed to longer cs and longer wheelbase and actual weight and so can be combated. Edit: oh great tarty adam's reading....i think im going to get majorly corrected
  15. hey, just wondering if someone could give me a few valuations for some bikes...thanks Bike 1 Zona zenith echo sealed h.set echo 130mm stem k910chain tensile FFW zoo bars meta front wheel try-all rear rim brand spankers minion fr tyre hansventure rear hope qr ( rear ) 04 magura, cnc'd blade braided x-over, koxx browns avid bb7 / shimano vee / front magura <--whichever echo urbans / viz forks v8s bike 2 Koxx levelboss onza stem zoo bars mission hubs try-all rims selkoff headset rear 04 magura, koxx browns onza trials mech front 04 magura, onza citrus Koxx forxx kmc chain v8s bike 3 Zona zip wtb headset x-hydra stem monty bars 2-tone paint job tensile urban legend cranks tensile FFW kmc chain wellgo v8 copies tryall on viz with try-all tyre rear wheel try-all on echo hub with maxdaddy tyre dual 05 maguras, koxx browns / ? pads basically testing the water...the koxx and zip are set to go and the zenith is just to "test the water"
  16. lube both slaves and give it a fresh water bleed....should sort your problem
  17. practice on an old rim then try it on yours......
  18. Yellow: Butterblocks White: lardblocks inspires confidence i think
  19. well alot of it is, apparently, that you either get a good king or a bad king...they're either awesome and never skip....or are kak and do full rotation skips and eat parts..... having never had one ( although am hoping to invest in one ) im not particularly sure
  20. the gu is one of the best tgs style bikes.....and the pitbull was correct me if im wrong one of the best street trials bikes
  21. i rode an 04 pitbull and loved it; but they're completely different bikes! you cant compare them even remotely, ...every part of the geo ( apart from the headtube angle ) will ve completely different....judst build both up to see what you prefer or take into account what your riding style is....
  22. precisely...theres no ideal cs length
  23. bikes starting to look good, front vee levers a bit but apart from that it looks pretty good
