The Herd - 2020

Repost...but from ages ago. Damned good video though

ew no, x-torts look horrid.X-iles a re little better...or pretty much any other DJ frame really. perfect thing would be a t-rex though

Looks okay, some more colour coordination needed and it'll be nice I'm sure... Should come down to Plymouth, get a ride on the go.

Course its bloody personal preference, hence why i stated my preference...the dude was asking for advice and I tried to give it. As far as I see it, the general consensus is riser bars. Nearly everyone runs them and this must be for a good reason surely.

I said that...massively improves grip and reduces weight Check out the uber expensive try-all pedals, read why they're single cage.

No cons to riser bars... To quote OBM " I've never been on a bike that's felt worse with risers" Viz pro720, Try-all Nowar, Monty 221ti.....pick one of the preceding and purchase

They're the same...close topic If you want a choice of colours, go try-all....if you want to save £4 go trialtech. Both made by VP ( vp-458a ) and just re-branded. Whichever you buy, you should remove the inner cage though.

I know the forks are weak...but thought the Hydroxx was a pretty strong frame?

Fluid is widely regarded as being incompressible due to it taking gigatons of force to reduce it's volume. Fairly sure anyway....

only way would be to run no steerer but...there wouldnt be any space for a hollow bolt large enough to take a cable in one of those wee star nuts.

KMC Kool = K810...what I said up there

tt lite = KMC z610 HX Either K810 or Z610 for sure...

Looks great...rear rim I want soo badly in black!

Either as long as you go for a decent set-up....I'be had both and got on really well with both. My recommendation would be MIddleburns with a TNN bash, rear ISO king orr Try-all cranks, Echo SL FFW, Trialtech ti bash, Try-all 'H' hub Thats what I'd run if it were me, the only real difference between the two is price and weight distribution really....

nearly always this...need a wee washer so the bearing preloader sits against the inner steel part of the bearing.

Looks fine in the description.....I use quite heavy grease for most stuff though

Picture of the offending article?

I = BJH mate

.

*lube / lubrication.... For general stuff I use some Red Lithium car grease...the kinda stuff you have in a caulking gun Nice'n'cheap and certainly works well.

I'm shite at sidehops...worse than most people on here....I always take my foot off or just pussy out and don't try it. If anyone has any ideas then I'd be glad to hear them

Fluid = incompressible. Dot 4 is a revision of dot 5 ( or vice versa ) and is slightly improved in some areas. Both will be fine , and nearly definitely unnoticeable.

Weak as buggery...known for breaking No, that was the Echo 05's They flatspot very badly due to their relatively flat profile. Yes, they have massive holes....far larger than on the 07 rims. The 07s were revised with thicker sidewalls, more rounded and higher profile and a thick ridge on the rim giving them a distinctive look. They;re pretty much bulletproof but insanely heavy...
