  1. 1070, +25, 375, 72 so identical to an 07 control.
  2. Done this before and it works... I's just check your bolts aren't too long, if not then file some of the lower clamp away to allow it to tighten further
  3. ^ This... and yes the olive you have will fit the older lever
  4. Zenith is around the same weight as that...with more up to date geometry :| 2.1kgs ish I thinks
  5. If you need some help with truing it or get stuck then click here or pm me
  6. Just sounds as if its really buckled.... the pads are hitting the rim and not the tyre? If theyre hitting the tyre could be a flatspot in the rim...if rim then it needs truing. Is the wheel/rim lose when you try and move it side to side with your hands?
  7. Trek 820 steel dirtjump frame...partially hacksawed chainstays ( death trap ) Saracen x-ess Onza woodstock Zoo Pitbull 03 short Coustellier St blaise copy Zona Zenith Another Zenith Coustellier At the same time, had a t-pro that came and went, zoot and an Xtp mk1 that I still have
  8. Great riding, hated the music with a passion though.....
  9. Have to remedy that then ! come ride soon in Plymouth... Er its at Botter Rock near Bovey tracey

    Shoes.....

    Need some decent long lasting shoes, decent grip and under about £40.... just something that will work well, came off a few days ago due to shit grip. Was thinking Duffs 4130's , Nike 60.0's...any suggestions?
  12. woo thanks man glad you approve Cheers Matt! Definitely ride when you're next down dude
  13. Biektrial used to be all about bunnyhop to bash etc...proper BIU moves, its slowly moved away from that with the new UCI style coming in but frames are still sporting their BIU roots
  14. Ah good glad you enjoyed man! Yeh sure is dude.....lovely up there haha yeh he just about saved me there Thanks ... haha yeh Luke Rainbird on here is responsible for that epic save Nothing like a video with some pingu ass yeh man ive only been St austell recently, but keep seeing adam newton around Ride in the week? Im free thurs/fri and tues/thurs/fri/weekend next week
  15. Just get it gusseted and re-welded...sorted
  16. Theres a massive difference of Geo's in their range...so i think its fairly unlikely that they all ride horribly Pretty broad statement there....and echo aren't the be all and end all, Iwouldnt have said the lite would be much stronger than an Akali anwyway... I'd personally buy one of the new Onza comps...damn cheap, lovely geo and nice n light
  17. Woo Cheers you two Glad you liked the riding especially... Ye, I managed to land on my toe, went bright purple and coudlnt walk for a day or so
  18. " Danny Keanrs " I actually quite liked that...
  19. Against all odds the coust is still going.... sixth video from me filmed locally on the Coustellier V2 frame, some older clips but I hope you lot like the edit As always, all comments welcome...especially on how to improve the riding or editing Alex
  20. Don't quote all the pictures dude... and no, theyre not normal braze on mounts or anything, just shows how much less weld area is needed when working with steel.
  21. Viz pro720...Try-all Carbon...Monty 221ti Best bars I've used in order of feel
  22. Depends on the freewheel and hub...but typically a hub will outlast a FFW. In my experience FFWs are more reliable though, and a lot cheaper to replace. For a stock like the Zoo pitbull 18:15 or 18:16 should be perfect, the hub spacing should be 135mm Freehubs like the Chris kIng are very good, as is the hope pro2 trials if you dont mind low engagements. I wouldn't trust any form of Deng freehub though
  23. Sand the piston with some 320 grit...after taking the o-ring off until it fits in the bore.
  24. Yes to a multiple choice question....
