  1. Cousts arnt great in wet, croco/ koxx yellow are decent
  2. Was well wrapped and came within 7 days, depending on what postage service is used it may differ.
  3. Just use the front brake to control your self As the forks flex giving time to react to loss of balance. Pre load the body by lowering you arse to the tyre you can use the rear brake just for a second to help hold the position and as you explode you release both brakes You should get a fair bit of spring from the flex of forks
  4. Use aliexpress and avoid the other ones. There are loads of decent sellers, all transactions are safe as they go thought the site. The money is with held until you give the ok that you have recived what you ordered and are happy with condition etc
  5. They only filmed the super final I think.
  6. Was thinking the cups may have been moving in the headtube Glad it's sorted now

  9. There are 4/5 riders in Swansea plus myself in Carmarthen

  12. Just keep at the green, you will learn alot more when your getting 5's than when your on white. You will have improved alot more than you notice from that comp. Come round with me at the next one and I will help you out

    My sky came with 170mm standard. ? Any way good luck trying to convince Gilles coustellier to go back to 175 mm because you think it's logical Let me know how you get on

    Urm no they don't sorry but your just talking utter rubish now Even kenny has changed to 170mm about a year ago. I think koxx even supply full build 26" bikes with 170mm cranks ? Logically- the shorter the distance the muscle has to travel faster and more explosive it can be

    Lol you bore me, Back on topic like mark says its personal. Best bet would be to try some out and see if you like or not.

    It won't change your gear ratio, just change the number of revs. 165mm would be best really Basically you will be traveling at the same speed but your legs will be going much slower which helps for run ups. More clearance You will lose around 3% leverage which you won't notice
  19. Yea all the slots may be perfect size but it's location which is the problem. As in not clamped in the same place as the last rim on th machine if that makes sense
  20. Yea that's what sound hog says to. Nice to see some 20" guys passing on 26" for a change
