Andrew Smith

just a sugestion, did you bed your hub in when you first rode it? eg ride up and down hills alot and not pedal kick to tighten the rachet ring? if it feels like a soft slipping and not enough to jerk you while your putting the power down, it could be your ratchet ring tightening? or there is a possability that the rachet ring threads are starting to strip as what happend to my old pro2, if so send it bach to hope and they will replace it straight away! give it a test when you can by pedaling up a steepish hill using as much leg power as possable, even try and drag your brake just to make sure!

it has been doing my head in for a while trying to fing the vid, anyone know the name of the rider or video, the guy rides a yellow or green echo control with dual vee's, flat bars and wears a piss pot lid, i can remember the vid/ rider was pretty awesome years ago lol

pm'd!

That booster looks amazing! loving the concept behind it , this man should also have a go at making a stiff v brake booster as the only stiff nice looking one about is shimano xtr carbom booster, and they ain't stiff enough are too rare and expensive! and the mounting holes are not wide enough for most frames with wide rims and new pads :/ with the amount of people running v brakes nowdays i think there is a huge niche in the market for a stiff nice looking v brake booster that is wide enough to fit most frame, rim and pad combinations! i think he should make some strong vee adaptors aswell, the onza ones available today just ain't up to the job strength wise, and the neon and echo ones available on tartybikes don' have the adjustability, and i know that heatsink is going to release the mk3 vee adaptors again, but i don't know weather it is a ''one off'' or a permanant thing or not yet could deffo be onto a winner if he produces stuff for v brakes even half as good as that magura booster though! there just ain't anything on the market decent enough available in terms of v brake's Andrew.

thanks man! you used them before hand?

had a bad 24hrs, snapped my v adaptors and just stripped my 4 bolt mounts trying to fit a magura :/ i know the bolts are m5 but what size hole will i need to drill? what size hellicoil will i need and where would i be able to get a cheap kit from? please help someone

cheers guys just uploaded pics via photobucket

Right, everytime i upload a pic during posting a topic, it says 'add to post', everytime i click that, 2 seconds later it redirects me to the forum homepage! same goes fo the photo gallery, says start new album, as soon as i click i am back on the homepage anyone know why this is? and how to solve the problem? need to sell some stuff, and i need to be able to upload pictures to sell the stuff ideally! help!!

looks very well made, if they bring out a 26' frame with decent geo, i would buy it

thing looks street as f**k how much these frames cost posted to uk, how long do they take from order to my door,what the payment method? thanks

http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xp8p4_evolve_sport#rel-page-4 such a good video, this was what got me into trials when i was a child, very nostagic moment lol

Basicly i ain't rode in 3+ years! and am getting back into it soon, i am aware that time have changed alot in every way possible, but the 1 thing i hope ain't is that the rocks in dockside in chatham? anyone know if they are still there? if they are are they ridable without getting a bollocking by securaty/getting nicked by the old bill? also are there any other decent spots or new spots that are popular nowadays around kent/medway? please help lol.

Cheers mate! will be ordering a pair of them soon me thinks also just called middleburn and hope up, they both said to send them out straight away and a soon as they reach them they will send me a brand new pair of replacement cranks and a brand new hub gonna be back on the bike again soon i think

ahh sweet will be contacting hope and middleburn later on today when i get a chance still can't believe koxx pads ain't around no more though anyone actually know when they got discontinued? i thought the trials community was based around koxx browns and yellows lol. Thanks.

Righto, as the title says iv'e not had f**k all to do with bikes at all in over 3 years nearly 4! and have became insainly unfit and fat lol, so really need to get back on the bike just to help me lose weight and try and get me fit! and for something to do of course getting to the point, i have a 07 hope pro2 rear hub that the rachet ring threads had stripped, but i notice that hopes pro2 hubs are now called pro2 evo's, are they any different at all? and what would be the warrenty procedure nowadays? would i get get the newer model hub or would get an old hubshell of the same vintage? or would they just tell me to bugger off lol,i don't have access to a printer either so i wouldn't be able to print of a return form either,would that be any problem? also same goes with my cranks i have a old pair of sqaure taper 165mm middleburn rs7 cranks that the left crank arm has cracked half way down the arms, i understand thease cranks have a lifetime warrenty aswell, what would be the procedeure on getting these replaced? does anywon know if they would the replace them in 175mm isis at all? i also notice that koxx bloxx pads don't exist anymore i guess things really have changed aye? what happend to them and whats the most compatible in terms of performance and wear now adays? sorry for the long post, and thanks for your time! feel like a right beginner now! :$

?? PLEEEEAAASSSEE

Sorry for the major bumpage, but can some one pleaaasssee tell me what the name of the song is? Andrew.

what has 2 legs and bleeds? (half of a dog) also... At The Border Checkpoint Five Englishmen in an Audi Quattro arrived at an Irish border checkpoint. Paddy, the officer, stops them and tells them: 'It is illegal to put five people in a Quattro. Quattro means four.' 'Quattro is just the name of the automobile,' the Englishman retorted disbelievingly. 'Look at the papers: this car is designed to carry five persons.'' 'You cannot pull that one on me,' replies Paddy. 'Quattro means four. You have five people in your car and you are therefore breaking the law.' 'You idiot!', the Englishmen replies angrily. 'Call your supervisor over. I want to speak to someone with more intelligence!' 'Sorry,' responds Paddy, 'Murphy is busy dealing with two guys in a Fiat Uno.
