the standard maggie pads, work surprisingly well with a medium grind! Johny

Hey dude, I ride 24'', and the best tyres I have found would be Tiogas, the ones on chain-reaction, or maxxis high rollers or swap things, Im currently using the swap things tyres and they are mint! Grip anything and everything! What are you riding, eg street, park or natural? Johny

yea dude, I forget to put it on, Im running medium grind, blue rock pads or snowies with a GU brake booster, its holding well good!

Hey dude, the Blue Rock Pads hold they are mint, even better with a medium grind! try it like that you will have a lush brake like that!

but theres not one for the non-full-members to ask question about what they want to know!

Well I have been on TF for sometime now, and every week there is a newbie who makes a brake pad thread, and it getting annoying how they dont use the search! So I thought why not make a thread all about brake pads as it seems to be a main topic for everyone, its not also because it gets annoying seeing a new thread every week about brake pads, but it will also help keep all brake pad threads in one topic! Im just really trying this out thought it would be a good idea, and see if it helps! So basically lets see if it works! Newbies ask all you want about brake pads, and everyone try and help, dont muck this up! Just for the record I use: Rock Pads Blue HeatSink Snowies Johny out!

The ribbed parts are soft, then the body is a hard compond(it sounds doggie, but thats what they are)lol! There well good!

Mate, there well sticky and hold your hand in place very well! Johny There lock ons, thats why they cost £15!

Hey mate, it took me ages to find the best grip for me, but my mates dont like it because they are to thick around the bars, but I think they are awesome, there long lasting and soft! heres a link to them! GRIPS!!! Johny!

Hey mate, I havent heard anything about these hubs but they look like a BMX hub where you are able to put your drive train on any side if your bike that you like! sorry thats all I can say! lol Johny

Well I started because I was bored of racing 4x and riding downhill, and I remember seeing Ryan Leech preform a demo at Whistler, and by this point I was riding freeride, and thought trials is a great thing to spice up my freeride(that last part sounded gay, but its the truth,lol) but i sold all my dh bikes and 4x bikes, and got my self a trials bike and a gaint stp to do freeride and trials on to bikes! It doesnt really make sence but thats it! lol Johny Out!

Hey when I moved over here from canada, I had to change to Left hand rear brake, Right hand Front Brake, because all the bike came like that, and I found it well hard getting used to it, but I couldnt do it, so its pros best that you stay they wasy you are, also if you do change, you riding will not improve for a while because you will be to focused on trying to use the brakes the oppisite they you normaly do! Johny

Hey dude, yea I have spent a good while setting them up, but once your riding and do something big, there knocked out of place! cheers dude!

Well people if you know some of my past threads they have been related to my 24'' Ciguena Frame, but once again I have come across a problem on my 2nd frame. If you didnt know on the first frame my rear barke mounts were pealing of the frame: as you can see there, but this time on my new frame I have to use a brake booster now so that want hapen hopfully, but the problem with this frame is that the back wheel want stop moving out of place, I try tighting it, I have tryed lock tight on the bolts, but yet it still moves and ends on the brakes out of angle! Does anyone know how to sort it so it want move, or does any with a ciguena frame have the same problem? cheers guys! Johny!

Hey mate, welcome! Im an alround rider to, I race 4x, ride freeride, and do trials! but I dotn do it on the one bike, i have two!! But yea, enjoy the forum everyone is happy to help! Johny Out!

Yea well they do it every year, but V-Brakes is not a Down-Grade, even when you buy an 07 onza from tarty cause they give Vbrake RockPads with it, so the Vbrakes are peachie with those pads on! Johny

The lever is the same kind of design as Formula levers, but the brake over all looks nice, but Im not sure on the preformance of the brake, but I see Hayes brakes as a downhill/frreeride/dirt jump brake, I have never thought of using a hayes brake as a trials brake!

Hey mate everyone is saying V8's, and they are one of the best/cheap pedals out at the moment, I have had a set for over 2 years now! All I have had to do is change the pins once, thats how awesome and good they are! and there cheep, £25 for something that will last ages! Johny

Well you go for the halos if you want a heavy rim, my mates got a set on his DJ and they are well heavy!

The Viz rims are heavy, but I use Sun Rims Rhyno lites there mint, i use them on all my bikes! I highly recommend them!

Yea they look awesome, theres a picture of mine! Im not yet sure about the geo I think I wil try to get it as close to the ciguena geo as possible! Johny

I had the Tiogas for a while, they were heavy but really gd, im now using Maxxis SwapThing Tyres they are mint! I uses them upfront and at the back, 2.5 on the front, but there not very wide, and 2.7 on the rear for good grip!
