  1. How long you been riding man? Wish I could sidehop like that, your pretty smooth at it.
  2. I think that they look brilliant, and give some good starter options for anyone looking to start trials. The one bad point in my opinion is the gripshift, but Onza knows whats best. I saw them in the new catalogue at work, but what about the sexy black mod frame that is in the backround of the booklet/catalogue?, is that ever going to be released.
  3. Smooth rim is the best in my opinion. My pads have lasted me ages, the brake works beast, my echo rim still has the sidewall colour for maximum sexiness. Echo pads, Echo rim, Echo frame, can't go wrong as the pads have been designed for those circumstances. I use tar of course (which is hard to see as my rim is black), but its brilliant because in say a drop gap or situation where you really want your brake to stick, you can slap tar all over the rim and it will hold brilliantly. And of course the oposite, if you want your brake to be a bit quiter and not to stick as much, just leave the tar alone for a while. The one downside to smooth rims which is not evident in grinds, and not so much discs, is the wet weather. But I don't like riding in the wet, so what am I losing anyway?
  4. I think Hydroxxes look the pure sex, just like most modern Koxx bikes. And the Magnesium DOB I voted as my favourite 26" as its a nice bike, stupidly light.
  5. I believe that was a combination of an Eno freewheel and an Echo, and only the bearing section was Echo. I just can't remember if engagements were physically added by putting in 19 ratchets, or if it had 3 sests of 3 pawls, rather than 2 sets of 3.
  6. I did ride them a bit, but was very hard, windy coast you see. I like the colour co-ordination, apart from my Hs33 tpa, everything on my bike is Black, silver or white. NYCE!!!
  7. Hs33 firm tech I believe are used in conjunction with firm tech forks, that allow for super easy set-up and adjustment. Or something silly like that.
  8. Nice video there Adski, loving the relaxed and chilled theme, went with your recording and riding style. That rail gap at the end was the highlight of the video for me. =P
  9. The classic T-Rex, neat and simple. I guess its the T-Pro of the stocks, generally because its popular and cheap. Nice one.
  10. Printscreen from a clip of my mate Steve.
  11. You are insane Steve, every chance to get to ride you do it and you do it well. That rail gap is insane, takes someone with guts to do it for the first time, you crazy mofo. This video doesn't do Steve any justice, so I'm making him one in good quality, Hopefully for completition in the new year.
  12. Didn't the guy above you just say that? I too would like a disc mount, as I don't have big enough tools to make one strong enough. So I can just dream for now. =D
  13. I don't think anyone would have any arguments on the tuck.
  14. High bikes are nice. But it looks too plain and battered. I am liking the rear mount magura, my one worked beast and it was just standard magura pads, how do you find it as aposed to a disc?
  15. Well I'm thinking that it happened because my pads were glazed, and possibly a leak from my hose. I snapped my banjo bolt yesterday, so took it to work where the mechanic made me a new one, rebled the brake and sanded the pads a bit, went out and rode it, its back to normal. Thanks for the input anyways.
  16. Tom: "I have always ridden a monty and cannot see it any other way in the future." Lmao, that quote is now a bit out of date. Nice decision Tom, that bike looks beast. I bet it looks funny when you and Toby roll up on your Koxx's Hopefully will see you about on it sometime.
  17. She isn't half bad, thats a fair size gap at the end. She'd give me a run for my money.
  18. 75% Florence Griffith Joyner, then Fred Durst, William Mosely, Vladmir Putin, Bam Margera I'll do it again with a better picture.
  19. What about Monty rims, they have square holes?

    If your talking about all of the Dick Bendy rubbish, then it was some ex trials riders from my school. Not Charlie. EDIT: Yea and all the Chicken dipper and bobs rubbish too. GU looks nice, would be pimp to have a perfectly stealth bike, as a rear disc means you could save your sidewall colour. =D
  21. I might try what you reccomend Muel, but I don't see the need in the mud. If its just going to be washed off with water, then surely I can skip that bit? What exactly does the mud do?
  22. Money for a ped or motorbike. Still need to save a lot more for it after crimbo though.
