  1. Great, looking forward to seeing you two then
  2. Id drill it... ive modified loads before and its always been fine as long as you dont go mental with it
  3. Actually really looking forward to riding with you again Prawn, I havent been to a big ride since the Pompy one in 09 when i kipped on your floor . Let me know if youre ever down south dude edit: still lots better than me as well I see!
  4. Exactly my thoughts.... best location ever
  5. I dont really understand how a lot of other companies seem to be heading towards the 24/25mm size slave piston sizes...and thus dealing with the heating issues. Im probably wrong, but aren't Formula 24mm? As has been stated a few times, it's always been my understanding that more rotor material in contact with the pad increases hold, and the more cut outs increases bite.
  6. I wouldnt use a wire brush to help remove the paint, fine 0 grade wire wool or similar for that. You can buy a buffing wheel from halfords or similar, layers of cloth that buffs really nicely.
  7. I haven't done a durometer test or anything on them, but in *my opinion* there is a marked difference between the two; as Ali stated this could be to do with any of the variables listed. I haven't personally used TNN LGM's but I've seen two sets that were utter shite....again just what I have seen and not necessarily a proper experience of the pads as a whole, compound or the company.
  8. trialprod.com. Worth it is all I'll say! Don't want to spark off another debate
  9. 127 x27* rockman/ zhi / try-all What I use on the Z3R
  10. That was ace! hah really enjoyed that, the style was cool and pretty original I thought.
  11. Looks like the concept art for it? Computer modelled I reckon.
  12. Squabbling aside.... sweet video, really liked it. Good to see someone else on a Z3R
  13. yup thats exactly it....seen so many go there so I'd really advise it!
  14. Stiff links look scary...nice bike apart from that
  15. Loads of us... if youre about this weekend ill ride if you fancy it
  16. Looks sweet, glad you FINALLY got it
  17. http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/2896404/http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/3352568/ snap
  18. Shimano saint are supposed to be pretty badass Other things to consider are the BB7, magura louise.
  19. If youre going to spend money on that.... it would be cheaper buying brand new stainless bolts off ebay. Would cost you around £1 posted! Enough to have 4 spare, roughly the right length, click
  20. Sounds pretty interesting... but you will have a torrent of people applying! Hope something comes of it, does sound promising.
  21. Either a well tensioned chain or a decent chainstay protector would sort that
  22. Sorry should have put roughly the same geo.... 383, 1083, +57.
  23. Lovely video, natural looks great to ride there
  24. Graphics look shite, but the design looks promising! Go Monty for actually designing something that in concept at least doesn't look ridiculously old fashioned, unlike their current frames!
