Mr Motivator

Well if I wanted to be really picky, I could measure both axles from the ground, find an average, and then measure the bb.

Yeah It says its +20, but I know for sure its about twice that.

I might save that and read it again some time on a rainy day. Was a good read, perhaps you should write a book lol, id buy it (Y) But blimey, you must have been in propper painage! How did you sleep or take a pee, or go for a shit? Sam

Frame - Leave it alone. Forks - Getting lighter forks (Fatty Rs) will reduce some front end weight makeing th bike easier to control on the back wheel. Wheels - Wide rims = weight but more stability, slightly narrower rims (mavic ex721) will make your bike lighter and still very strong. Expensive hubs will also make your bike significantly lighter but I woudnt worry to much about that at this stage to be honest. Tyres - Michelin Hot s, grippy in the dry, very light, puncture resistance ok-ish. Cranks/BB - Lighter cranks will also bring the weight down. Middleburns may not be that light but the weight to strength ratio is excelent. Misc parts (it all adds up) - Ally headset, remove the little springs in your QRs, drill rims, lighter inner tube in the front, disk brakes weight quite a bit and so do maggies so run a V up front, Ti QR levers, ti bash ring. Bout all that I can thnk of that will drop some weight :(

s'ok, just done it. I have +45mm rise :( w00t!

Tut, Sam you silly willy, just worked out how to do it, Measure the height of the axles and then the bb. duh!!!. Delete this.

My frame is supposed to have +20mm but im deffinately sure its a bit more, but id like out find out caus imnot really sure as how do I find a line parralel to the ground if that makes sense :( I'm ususaly good at working stuff out like this :( Thick Sam

Tyres, wheels, forks..

My friend has a 15m Flexifoil bullet..

Just get out on your bike and get used to the feel of it and the way it rides. Eventually you and your bike will become one. Trackstands help :(

Yes, turn your evo mounts upside down. :(

Well nice mate. :(

Ah right cool! Got you.

:( How does that work then? Sam

I lost mine ages ago. Dont really need them though, I mean if the seal is good enough not to let air out then its not really going to let any dust in. Meh, chavs often ask me why I havnt got any though lol.

Go-Karting :(

Erm well hang on.. Iv used both. My CRMs are the best pads out of all the pads I have ever tried (koxx, viz, kool stops etc and so on) Only get the spanish flys if your riding only comps and natural. The crms are ok under a little moisture but not as good as the spannishs. I think youl find it nicer to have the extra hold and bite of the crms to be honest and on street the crms will serve you amazingly. Add me to msn or something if u like (Y) Infact i have some spanish flys u could buy if u like

Plaz CRV/M = Brilliant on grind in dry Plaz Spanish Fly = Crap on grind in dry, better than CRV/Ms in the wet.

Trapped nerve in my left lower back like every time that I ride. It shoots down my left leg and makes it go numb.

GT85!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Little spray at each end of the grip, give it some pasty to get on and leave for 15mins. Grips from wiggle yeh, mine have 3 holes in but have been going for over a year ^_^ awesome grips

I have a cool effect I want to do with a steel frame.. Strip it all and shine it up with wire wool, Get out the blow torch and burn it till its all oxidised, Lacquer it up ^_^ Might do it one day

Ming.
