i used to commute to college everyday on my bike ( till it got stolen ) and im going to start some trail riding to get my endurance / speed riding up

ive used heatsink xmas pads and koxx browns with tar...both have been pretty good... To appl;y tar, spin the rear wheel, and hold the tar against it until theres a thin line around the wheel If you need some, pm me

i might actually try that tomorrow....plus it looks alot better to boot

exactly..short frame, medium length chain stays, around zero bb ...perfect for a beginner...my mates just got a t-raptor and i really like it....personal choice i suppose but i think they're sweet frames for the money

yeha, its getting th eyounger generation involved...well done andrei

hence why i suggested it....

you can change it back, its just some kind of option..ill paint you a picture

They're virtually bombproof...however if you dont already have one i wouldn't hedge your bets on actually being able to source a good one as they arent being made any more and are fairly rare....probably a dx32 would be your best bet as there are quite a few floating round at the moment

pretty damn good; even better than the last uni video...... the sj#kills on the mod were pretty impressive as well....nice one!

er, the FFW version is only meant to be used on the front; however tensile do sell a version for use on the back , bmx stylee

The tensile FFW is reverse thread...you have to use a hole punch ,and a hammer,or similar to take the lock ring off

maggies are a far better option....the only disadvantage is the decrease of braking power in the wet

horizontal dropouts + stock frame = mod stock frame ( 116mm dropouts, for use with chain tugs )

nice.....

has anyone got leons phone number? ( the 14 year old from liskeard, cornwall ) Im supposed to be trekking down to st ives today with him but i cant get hold of him at all....anybody got his mobile?

ay tis good riding to be sure

yep, beat me to it....

Here you are: http://www.trials-forum.co.uk/wiki/Bleeding_Hope_brakes

I really have the utmost respect for you....you took action when others would probably have just stared, and kept at it even though you were sick...... well done..... and i hope the experience wont hang over you, you did categorically the right thing

nice...i enjoyed it, see what you mean about those manual lines now, damn cool!

Im free then...ill be there

i think that reply deserves a lol....

yeah im not definitely going to do it.....but he is moving from electric welding to tig soon so the welds should be of higher quality heres the emailsi got from him recently if anyones interested...: hi no problem. please send me your model, geo and color. aor 20", 24", 26".??? i can make paint job with your name of logo in frame. : http://picasaweb.google.com/marinobike/Paint yes bb is euro sistem in 68mm (heve threads) and have options american, spanish or mid bb. i'm make frames street. 2008/4/14, Alex Dark <alexdark2@hotmail.co.uk>: Can you build an aluminium bike or are they all steel? In the bottom bracket, are there threads inside, ( ready to fit a bottom bracket straight in ) or will i have to tap them myself? So, for a frame it would cost $150, or £75 to my house? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 20:02:41 -0500 From: marinobike@gmail.com To: alexdark2@hotmail.co.uk Subject: Re: Bike building hi thanks for write. i'm can make any model, any geo, any color. my work better day to day. any custom geometry what do you think geo??
