  1. tt lite = KMC z610 HX Either K810 or Z610 for sure...
  2. Looks great...rear rim I want soo badly in black!
  3. 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....
  4. nearly always this...need a wee washer so the bearing preloader sits against the inner steel part of the bearing.
  5. Alex Dark

    Which One?

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

    Which One?

    *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.
  7. 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
  8. 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.
  9. 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...
  10. Ah good stuff, glad you enjoyed Cheers dude, that's St Ives...gorgeous there Ah no worries, glad you liked the riding though Cheers man Ye, love that tune ever since I heard it in Manifesto.... Cheers man, The sunset bit turned out quite nicely I reckons... haha thanks Max....come and ride with me in a couple of weeks then Yeh man, for sure as long as the weather's decent
  11. Old tensile cranks limey1 frames YBN half-link chains Dicta freewheels Unsealed hubs of any variety ( apart from XTR in xc )
  12. I think the new trend for lighter weight stuff can only be a good thing......the Echo TR and urban ranges have the heavy weight stuff, whereas the Sl and koxx/ monty/onza etc cater for the lightweight. Also pushes rider to be less bashy with their stuff I reckons
  13. come on...just use the search. Original topic
  14. Try-all nuc stem/ tartybikes forged....or trialtech
  15. No problems dude, we'll sort something out in rides closer to the time Make a proper couple of days of it for sure......
  16. They ride alreet too......with the 18" wheels you can have pretty kak discs and they'll stick work really well.
  17. Rear magura --- easier to set-up, lighter, feels nicer than a vee, better bite and adequate hold for me I use a quicksilver 2004 magura, RB blade, Coustsinks and a hope crossover

    Taps!

    Do you even have to ask? 45" is big...i guess 50-55" maybe?
  19. Truro, Minions and if you go a lil further Plymouth Hit me up on msn and we'll arrange a ride if you lot are up for it.
  20. Here we are...just getting to grips with Vegas so I went a Little overboard with the effects Hope you like anyway, ended up being a bit longer than I'd have liked but hey Last Video on the Coustellier for now... Coustellier Video 5 All comments welcome as always Cheers, Alex
  21. Looks good man...shame those frames are so heavy with your lightweight spec
  22. Pshh how would anyone apart from the retailer or manufacturer know that? I have the same bars but in silver ti colour...they ride much nicer, same geo as the Viz pro 720's but a tad wider Sure he did at one point?
