I made one for myself out of 1mm think alloy chequer plate and some foam...worked a treat Apparently leisure lakes are going to stock an armourdillo style frame protector soon

I really dont like the look of them , but they're pretty damn nice to ride....soo much better than the stock version ( typhoon )

i think ive reached the same point... iwhen i was starting i just used a football shin pad on my forward shin

yerh but it'll never be as strong unless its professionally heat treated

vertical dropouts = has a gear hanger for mounting a rear mech or chain tensioner horizontal dropouts = perfect chain tension hence no need for a tensioner

exactly! degrease it..then lube it with oil

photos dont work^^^ Heres my pitbull.......

nice gap...wee bit sad to just show us that...but it was pretty damn huge...about 2ft farther than i can do!

ive always ridden stock and really like it...i cant see myself ever going to a mod...they just seem so small and cramped, i might consider a 24" but thats the smallest id go....id definitely say mods are better for beginners though, or younger ( smaller ) people

holy rollers are quite good...but i really like he maxdaddy's...not sure if you can get them in 26" though

looks lush mate, a lot better than the old pure

Im using a michelin dry xc atm...the kevlar folding one...weighs a silly amount and grips pretty well

Damn college....

erm... when i was first learning, i pulled a small wheelie of aledge, cant have been more than 2ft...dropped the nose a bit too far and tweaked the bars slightly....front wheel hit the ground and pitched me forwards, smacked me c*ck...and cut me foreskin...yay! So there ladies and gentlemen...dont get complacent and stop putting effort in!

take the whole thign apart...clean all the grease off the pawls etc, then stretch the springs ...put it all back together and oil it up with 3 in one or similar,

yeh thats my problem as well......oh well, just got to hope somone can provide me with some info on it....

nice riding...some big moves there...but the bike does look wayy oversized on you!

damn straight! Nice video, really big lines, but smooth at the same time, really enjoyed it as a whole

looks ominous i have to say....

frame looks brilliant...t-mag rear gusset with a pitbull "seat" tube Video time me thinks!

rather nice....looks a bit posh i have to say
