  1. i might be getting a zoot soon, and i think ill be using a 95 x 20* kore stem with answer pro-taper bars
  2. doesnt work, the caliper hits the edge of the mount
  3. i did mine yonks ago...along with me levers as well....
  4. i love that noise.....
  5. my koxx's honk sooo loudly its untrue ( very worn grind , coust frame, no booster )
  6. nice pictures dude, if a little dark....
  7. pretty much.....theres no real reson for a bash guard to be honest however if you want one made from billet alloy....i could make you one ....£15
  8. im using a k-5c and ive snapped it twice...however my k710 is fine Half links are fine....a full half link chain is prone to stretching...but they're pretty damn strong
  9. right....you'll need an isis crank extractor/ sq. taper crank extractor ( delete as applicable ) , a bb tool, adjustable or usually 32mm spanner amd some copper grease. The drive side bb shell is reverse threaded and the non-drive is standard thread. thread the crank extractor into the crank until its home, then tighten the central bolt bit against the bb. this will pull the crank arm off. Now put the bb tool on thge drive side of the bb shell, use the spanner and turn it clockwise. Then repeat this procedure for the non-drive shell ( but turn anti-clockwise ) if you only have a sq taper crank extractor; a 5p put on top of the bb will allow it to work with isis cranks
  10. trust nick to talk sense Anyway, My friend was in plymouth a while ago, skating up at central park for those of you who know the area.......anyway, he walked past the pub and some bloke walked out, turned to him, said something, then stabbed him in the elbow, he's got a big scar there now. Also, i was iding up there once on my trials bike......i suddenly heard someone say" come on lets head home now " thought this was a bit odd so i carried on riding....suddenly saw about 30 drunk oafs stampeding at me. I grabbed my mate and we rode as fast as we could ( now id like to point out that 18-16 gearing isnt the best for out running some white-lightning/testosterone fuelled wife-beaters ) i just about managed to get away, but it really scared me.....ive never gone up there that late again ( 11pm ).
  11. dude, thats terrible ...... dont be so passe about this ! its a bit more than "really unlucky"
  12. well done.... my thoughts exactly
  13. right...im bored of the colour...so white, black or polished? Bearing in mind if its painted it'll have the dents fillered
  14. use the little bit off a gel pen ( the finger rest bit ) and slide that over the end of the blade....works a treat
  15. t-shirts look pretty damn cool, i think i might have to invest in at least one...... Need any more stock riders? I think you're going to get annoyed with everyone asking that....sorry!
  16. looks really nice man, not as nice as mine though ;o) Where are you getting your coust stickers from? i really want mine stripped as well but il need new stickers for it
  17. hhmmm...... hs11 piston in an hs66, hs11 bladge bodged onto an hs33 body.....pedals epoxied back in after threads stripped, 31.8mm stem to 25.4mm bar with a bit of alloy as a spacer, the infamous pad bodge, several homemade boosters, zip tied rear freehub, bolt tapped into framne to tension rear mech, homemade pads, ducktaped magura line, epoxied magura connection barb, crossover made from fuel line from a scrapped car ( then bled with windscreen wiper fluid ), coke can in a rounded off sq. taper crank arm, coke can in bb threads, will post up when i remember any more!
  18. ill more than likely be there
  19. thanks kieran, the frames awesome, i really appreciate it!!
  20. shush you! Braided dont make much difference to be honest....the only real difference is the strength properties
  21. that loos awesome...i started properly on a saracen x-ess then a trek 820 st...ive even got some pictures of me looking like a berk on it....uploaded shortly!
  22. im really sorry for the messing around with brake....completely my fault and im sorry :$ The coust is a bit of a beast.......so has anyone got any videos of the old steed in action...quite interested now to find the history of the dents
  23. pretty nice actually, my gaps aren't quite as good, but my "ups" are way better...... i think im going to put the stem a bit lower to compensate for the lower bb risde ( 30 ont he pitbull against 10 on the coust )
  24. ah right, ive got a 110 * 10 with 5mm of spacers Yeh, she's a beast alright.....rides nice to boot why thankyou, your python's rather snazzy as well
  25. is he interested in trials at all?
