It looks the tits, I love the Hog rims. But it looked better when Maher had it.

I'll ride Southend again someday when my bike is sorted and the weather gets better. Along with a few others. =D
-
But wasn't it just New years eve on Monday, and New years day on Tuesday? It might be whats causing your problems mate. Wait until the otherside of the weekend then give it a ring then.

I Keep Snapping My Chains, What Is Wrong?
Captain Scarlet replied to LiamWood!'s topic in Trials Chat
Its called a snap link for a reason. It snaps. I had one for about a month for it to split. Just a chain with no master link is the way to go. Having one link different from the others makes it more likely to break. -
I got myself COD4. So I'll be on there if anyone wants a game.

IAFOMCROFPMSLMFAOOL! That is a brilliant find, I can't believe anyone could do that. Surely the person who assembled it from the box must of had some savvy to actually get that bike in the constructed state, but to not fork the forks the correct way is a silly error. Even afterwards the pictures taken of it clearly show close up on the fork region, so to not spot it then is plain stupid.

That does look pretty orgasmic. Move over Echo Lite, theres a lower frame about. Oh I love low frames.

Christmas noob. And its my brother's Xbox. I'm mainly playing; Forza 2, Guitar Hero 3, or Halo 3. Got a lot more games though. =D

Onza Proto - With The Dropped Chainstays, In Nottingham
Captain Scarlet replied to Dan6061's topic in Trials Chat
Or how about every new frame comes with a belt ready for belt drive. Then if they are so mega strong, you could keep that one belt for your frame. Everyone is concerned about slipping down to bash and hitting the belt. I'd be more concerned about slipping down to bash and hitting my chainstays if they were that low. -
I'm sorry but that is utter rubbish. What evidence do you have to support your opinion? Echo pads are a slightly harder compund than Adamant pads, which are slightly harder than ZOO!'s. I have tried Echo pads and ZOO! pads and found that they both work amazingly on a smooth rim. So my assumption would be that the GU and Adamant pads work just as well.

I bet you just landed on the wall then moved your arse a bit lol. Sidehop in the direction of your forward foot 'ey good on you lad, its the way I sidehop highest but I'm getting out of the habit now.

Pads: Echo Red's 07 Time used: 6 months Front/rear: Rear Rim used: Echo with sidewall colour Grind: No Tar: Yes Brake used: Magura mineral oil What is your opinion of a working brake: A brake that you can feel/hear the pads grip the rim, like a tacky noise. How do they compare to previous pads you have used: The Echo pads prodivde a better hold with less Tar, I have used Citruses, Magura Blacks, Magura Koolstops. Review: In the dry, this is probably the best brake imaginable, I used to run smooth rim with Magura blacks and tar but it ate the tar like anything and the brake was useless without any tar. However with the Echo pads, they manage to have excellent hold without any tar, in fact I had a 5 hour ride today without having to use any tar, and it still had a reliable brake hold. And of course Tar is useful for changing the modulation of the brake, put a lot on to ensure that the brake holds, or leave it if you want it to give a bit. But this brake is only good for the dry, which is okay for me because I don't exactly like riding in the wet, but the brake also works well on a light/dead grinds as this offers a bit of a rough surface to shed away the water, which would be nearly impossible on a rim that still has the sidewalls colours. In all, use these pads when your grind wears down, and the weather clears up. EDIT: I forgot to mention pad wear life, I have been running these for six months and these still look in immaculate condition. they have worn at an angle with the shape of the rim, but apart from that they are almost like new.

I guess its generally down to your riding preference mate. How tall are you, if your big then you might want to consider going longer for extra reach, rather than being cramped up. I have a friend who started on the Holroyd frame, and he said that it was a fairly short bike, but then again he is a big bloke. I'd say get a longer stem, or at least a stem that is a lot different than the one you ride with at the moment, that way if it changes your riding, you know it was the stem.
-
My bike is the same. But I plan to change my TPA and lever as a Christmas treat for myself. Then I'm not buying any parts until I need to.
-
I love the frame drilling and the hosing, also the bits that cover the holes in the frame, just makes it look smooth. But I'm not such a big fan of the stickers. Your should have; kept the originals or put on a couple of new stickers, or just blank. Bikes always look good if they are simple or blank.
-
That would be impossible to me in my books, I could probably get my front wheel to the start of the second log, after a few tries. Ryan Leech would be a good candidate for it. And just because I want to lick some arse, I'd like to see Tom Rankin have a go on it. =P
-
Nice video, how long has you been riding for Ross? It won't be too long until you'll be doing that kind of trials on bigger wooden fences. Well done mate.
-
I know its an old thread, but this is really bugging me too. Throughout the song it appears to be "X-Ray" by Subfocus, but it is mixed with another track. The other track is what I'm really after.
-
So you can afford a full spec Ti, but not a set of pedals. Whats's wrong with the ones you have? I have the first set you posted, or similar, but my ones the pins are part of the body so it is impossible to loose them. They are good but a little bit of wet weather isn't a good idea.

Looks pimp. But what happened with the original Echo bit that was there?
