  1. The bb ones go behind the bb shell look like this : They stop the chain going to the side and falling off by using a roller, jockey wheel or nylon runner ..... http://chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=10800
  2. I want to respray my 04 pitbull....but what colour? Suggestions please..... ive got red wheelset and bars...the rest is either silver or black components
  3. Trying a different type of riding is definitely a good idea.....maybe Street, Downhill etc
  4. It's just done to practice welding on......and to stick on my garage wall And why not? Ive got a real trials bike,but i cant see why i shouldnt make one to prat around on, i'm not going to do anything stupid on it as i know it'll break in half!
  5. I'm thinking around 18:16 then.....stem length and rise anybody? Im running some try-all replica bars at the moment and have just got them so aren't going to change them.....
  6. i used to ride a lot of street trials ( with more street than trials ) but now im starting to shy away from the bunny hop, stair gap style riding and go towards the real trialsy moves.....i never ride natural trials, and can't yet sidehop ( but wouldnt mind learning! ) I want to make the bike stable on the back wheel, manual-able(preferably) and good to gap, sidehop etc..... So....what would be the best set-up for me, considering the above? Oh, and i used to ride a woodstock ( 1065 ) with 26:25 gearing, 170mm cranks , try-all bars and 120mm x 10* stem Thanks!
  7. Mr sheen manages to dissolve tar ( god knows what kind of evil chemicals are in it ! ) Thats the best for the job IMO
  8. Un52 are the besdt IMO....ive used one for going on 3 years now and its still smooth
  9. Freewheel: ratchet based system ( usually ) on a bike that lets the bike freewheel ( hence the name ) tensionre: Tensions the chain when running Single speed, or can provide additional tension in a geared system to stop drivetrain from skipping

  12. Ive just gone singlespeed last night...now im on the lookout for light cheap front + rear tyres...any suggestions?
  13. I havent been able to find one...and andrews one ^^^ is now sold..... ant other suggestions?
  14. Few too many colours for my liking, and not too sure about the echo stickers, apart from that it does look rather nice though...the green components are a pretty cool choice, i dont often see that many green themed dengs.....
  15. Erm, well its your old frame.....so looks like ill be using the same stem as you! By the way....would a 120mm be too long?
  16. Couldnt someone make an e-zine? like a sort of newsletter, then email them to a subscription list? Im suprised tartybikes dont do it, they could put adverts on/in it.....
  17. i need a freeware 3gp to avi converter that'll run on a p3 450 w. 64mb ram << a relic i know but my main pc is broken...anyone? ( super wont work )
