same...mine works fine as is

come on ..... stem for a 24seven holroyd pplllleeeeease!

just strip down the pedals..grease all bearings or interfaces in the drive train...thats all i can think of

i used to use an stx-rc shimano one...just a bog standard 8spd...although the echo off tarty would pobably be the best choice in my opinon

How about either getting a pre-stretched cable or stretching yours...ill bet that'll account for a lot of the flex

i wouldnt con my parents like that!

aha! that dt hb is the same as the clutch inside a fantic...seems like a really good idea, thats how i guessed a king worked when i first saw one

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,
