me!! well...i kinda forgot it was mothers day..whooops...hence sunday

...you could say that about the wiki! Yeh i guess its a good idea...but to the topic starter...just come along to plymouth tomorrow...copthorne at 10.30

yepthats the one...same as tarty sell for £13

that is rather strange....id say its around mid-late 90's and fairly high end ( hydroformed headtube )

Bsically...got some echo cnc'd green cranks in fairly good nick...and im just wondering whether people think my bike would look better with them green or silver? Ive got somegreen zoo brake mounts,and a red gu 1/2 bash to go on the cranks. Images courtesy of tartybikes

Hmm.....would one of these:http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=11980 be strong enough to use as a rear hub?

ive seen that before with a rear hub ...with the cog drilled and mounted to it...would itstand up to the forces? and how much are the kits?

i thought you rode an xtp mod?!

get a nice begginber trials bike( rigid forks around 0bb rise,shortish frame,) and you'll pick stuff up in no time at all

gearcable should be around £1..and the chain?..anywhere from £5-10...get a kmc off supercycles.co.uk for £6

nice....aseveryones already said...silver v8s and you're onto a winner

officially the best looking 24 .... white is such a stunning colour...shame you dont have the eisbar hs33s then it would really look amazing!

that lil 9 year old is bleddy awesome!

was that a coust/tox -elier? or a pitbull 04?

i reckon some green echo cranks, headset and clamps would make that bike look even nicer than it does now ( to go with the stickers )

shit, man...that looks bad, looks like the bearing race inside the Freewheel isnt in the right place!

yeh right...full face seems a bit ott for trials !

thats cool...i take it these arent the ones you were using a while ago then...

exactly as trials pimp said....i use a light smear of vaseline on the rubber o ring on the cylinder to ensure a good seal

that....is lovely Ive never seen a ghz before, such a nice paint job....really similar to the dmr ox-blood colour Didn't that rear atomlab rim weigh about half a ton? My friends wheelset ( atomlab ) is sooo heavy it's untrue!

why the hell does he keep bumping old topics?! ( CRANK BRO ) And, yes it would look quite abit nicer with a bit less blue...eg silver bash

are the tensiles in ok condition? i mean do they actually work or are they really loose on the splines? i know about the angle grinder cut.. and as for the pads.... i have no idea at all...theyre in the post atm

Ill give you a pair of koxx reds and £5(or a subway to the value of)....

http://www.sheldonbrown.com/gears/ Have a look at that^ for example...a typical stock gearing would be 26" wheel, 170mm cranks, 18t front cog, 16t rear that gives you 29.7 GI ( gearinches) Normal mod gearing is usually 18:12 or 18:13 although one of my friends who's a begginer runs 20:18 which is a joke to be honest

or you could just adjust the limit screws inwards to hold the mech A lot of cheaper cassettes dont have allen key bolts...so have a browse throught the wiki...its best just to use a locked out mech and a peoper single speed spacer and cog kit like this: http://tiny.cc/DMR
