  1. First off, i run my rear tyre at 16psi, no more, no less.Front anywhere from 10-20 depending on what im doing. Shoes wise, i have had the try-all shoes and they are good but have just got my ribo's and they are far better. Hope that helps, pressures do depend on weight a lot though. Andy
  2. Depends how good you are at blagging and how full the bus is. We managed to get 3 bikes on to a bus near pompey. Andy
  3. Well i work 50-60 hours a week, football on sunday usually but i still manage 3-4 times a week depending on weather. We all just ride when its dark, really improves your concentration. Andy
  4. I have had a try all freewheel for 2 months now and its so good, i run it with a bashring and have no problem. Also you wont have to tighten it as the lockring sits against the bashring, so no way at all it can come loose. It is the best £50 ive ever spent. Andy
  5. My mate had one a while back and i have to say that i think you would be better off with a v-brake. Just offered no hold at all. Hope that helps. Andy
  6. Cheers for all the suggestions guys, am going to try the adamant risers from tartybikes as they are the same as the zoo ones, will order them tomorrow. I hope it cures it. Once again, thanks. Andy
  7. Hey everyone, was wondering what bars you find comfortable as i have two dodgy wrists now and my current bars are killing me. I need some bars that take some pressure off them to help with still being able to ride. Any help from you all would be great, as its getting hard to put up with. Cheers guys. Andy
  8. There is a good chance that most of us from bognor will be coming, we didn't come last time and regretted it. Andy
  9. Well I am 18, my adamant a2 measures at 1080 and it feels a lot shorter. My t-master as about 1000 i think. Andy
  10. I would guess that you would be lucky to get £40 for it, as it is only an onza hub. Just my opinion though. Andy
  11. Not worth it mate, titanium isnt the greatest load bearing material, has a habit of cracking in my experience. Best spokes arount are still the dt swiss double butted spokes, never had a problem with them. Andy
  12. Portland, no doubt about it. You will never run out of things to do there and there are some truly massive lines. Improves your riding in no time. Andy
  13. You need to be really good, and every comp you ride you need to be top 3 all the time really to get noticed at all. If you wanna be sponsored on street alone then you need to be Neil Tunnicliffe! Seriously, just work hard at it and if you want it bad enough then you should get there.There is a bit of luck involved too though, right place at the right time. 99% of us will never be sponsored but we all ride for the fun of it. Andy
  14. Looks good mate, those frames ride so nice. Andy
  15. I like the 06 t-pro out of all of them, but my fave onza is still my t-master. Andy
  16. Cant think of any, unless you are riding a comp and the ground is very uneven, but that would be an extreme. If you think how long 5mm is then there isnt too much difference. Andy
  17. I shouldnt think you will notice it really, you might notice that you can gap a bit easier. I have always tried to get 175mm cranks, if the ones i want dont come in that size then i get as near as possible. Andy
  18. I had one run in a while ago, i just explained that i had just got the bike and hadnt found a light that would fit yet. They accepted the story and left me to it. Needless to say i still havn't found a light to fit it. If i have anymore trouble then will just walk the bike home. Andy
  19. Weather has been rubbish down here so my bikes are still tucked up in the shed. Planning a night ride for tuesday though. Andy
  20. i would try and get 175mm cranks. hope that helps. Andy
  21. Being new on here i was wondering about the validation thing and now ive thought about it it makes a lot of sense. At first i didnt cotton on to the scamming point, but it makes perfect sense to me as most things that we all buy or sell can be worth mega money. And im sure that like me you have to work hard to buy all your parts. So as to why you posted this topic i have no idea, but it can only give you a bad image, maybe a little more thought was required on your part. Andy
  22. To be honest bognor is pretty good, and if you like rocks we just ride along to felpham, theres so many lines you could do. Andy
  23. Out of the two i would say an eno, but why not spend less and get a try all freewheel, they are the nuts, no problems with mine at all. Andy
  24. Which echo cranks? i have the older ones and they are crap, rounded off on the bottom bracket in 3 months. The cnc ones are wicked though. Andy
  25. Old people telling me that i shouldnt be riding on those walls and that i should look after my health by not doing it anymore. Other than that, dogs are a pain too. Andy
