  1. looks pretty nice in white...bikes always do, not too into the uber low front end though...always feels like im picking the front end up by the fork legs!
  2. the chances are there'll be somewhere selling the titanium axles... They look pretty pimp and dont weigh much...but seem a lot of money for not that much weight loss if im honest!
  3. looks lovely, beauty paint job as well

    My Bike

    nice...i like it, oldskools the way forwards!
  5. it just doesnt make sense bleeding an hs33 with anything other than water to be honest...its free, easy to get hold of, only reportedly does a small amount of easily rectifiable damage to said hydraulic brake, it gives a lighter lever feel, no need to worry if your brake starts leaking-water wont corrode paintwork or dissolve grease
  6. interesting idea...though i doubt it'd take off to be honest
  7. id try decontaminating the pads and rotor: just boil them in water for a while then wipe all the gunky stuff that comes off them...then sand both pads and rotor to get the last of any contaminants off
  8. theres loads of "senior" riders on here....the oldest are around mid 40's so you're hardly old compared....i cant really see anyone being too old to do trials though!
  9. it does look a bit rushed together...spray the frame, or get some parts that dont clash! Or better still, oven cleaner your bash and other ano bits and it'll look nicer!
  10. thats a great idea..im sure id find something to ride...would they fit in your van though? does anybody want to ride the weekend after?...i should have some new forks by then, and be in shape, and be free to ride..so all good
  11. either a t-pro new...or a second hand pimped t-pro off here or ebay would be your best bet
  12. bear in mind you'll have to buy a modstock rear wheel, or change your hub and probably spokes to suit
  13. welding an aluminium frame without heat treating it is never going to be as strong as before...with proper heat treatin it would, theoretiucally, be the same strength again...but the likelihood of finding someone to heat-treat it for a resonable price is fairly small!
  14. most frames that use a tried and tested design eg the coust copy are fairly sound i would have thought, its only really when manufacturers completely change a frame that it might not hold up? T-raptors were hardly weak were they? i mean akkers rode one for ages
  15. i dont really understand whats supposed to be rubbing...i think he rides an a1
  16. adamant looks lovely...bit common though, and i just love the hifi headtube...
  17. bike looks awesome.and the night shots are some of the best ive seen of a bike........lovely!
  18. ive got one and love it...nicest stock frame ive ridden so far, ive got a little 85mm stem on it, and i can bunnyhop it, do all the rest of the streety stuff and still be awesome on the back wheel...i got mine for £50 posted so £60 posted is hardly a bad deal matey. I personally run a magura front and back...heatsink reds on the back and koolstops on the front...
  19. great idea...should really help clean up the forum! I think we should have the classifieds in different categories eg: (classifieds>for sale>controls>handlebars)
  20. Most businesses will just give away free pallets...at least the ones round me do
  21. i just scrub it on...loads of the stuff till i can barely see silver, my brakes never locked on before
  22. Its horrible to be honest...really not a fan
