  1. I think I'll do a water bleed tutorial video in the new year sometime, lol.
  2. Yorkshire is the best county ever. [/thread]
  3. I've had both. My hope fills me with more confidence, I don't keep thinking, 'sooner or later this will skip and kill me' but neither hub has gone wrong. The king was 3 years old too.
  4. It depends on how it's made. I think rims are extruded in a flat form first, it could pretty much be the case that more metal goes into one bit than the other. Sort of how car tyres have a thick bit so need wheel balancing.
  5. True, but unless it's a few particular ones, which it isn't, you can safely say it's 135.
  6. Get some of the cool shimano AM shoes, they make your feet stick to any pedal But don't get them if you're a retard, I don't want to have the same shoes as a retard.
  7. May as well swap for a pair of kenda bluegrooves, but street is still possible on a pair of high rollers, it shouldn't stop you.
  8. This indeed has been asked many a time. You can get away with DMR tyres if you have good tubes. I've got a big high roller on the rear and a schwalbe tabletop on the front, which is dead light. If you want to do street, I might suggest a pair of DMRs. If you want to do more trials, a rear kenda blue groove perhaps, and a front DMR If you want to do mostly trials maybe get the smaller high roller, it comes in two sizes, and a DMR front.
  9. A Marino. You'd want to take the geometry of an existing spin-happy 26", like a zebdi or an orange zero, and give it maybe +25 bb rise. BB rise helps for spins, and for trials, so it would be ideal because then it would still feel like a trials bike.
  10. If it's an echo rim, then remember they're anodized really hard so it'll take an extra bit of effort getting it off.
  11. Thing about that though... Go on tartybikes and list the 24" rims by weight aaaand - The rhyno lite is the lightest rim.
  12. Revolver

    Wtf

    Proof #1 that the person who's selling that brake is retarded - Proof #2 that the person who's selling that brake is retarded - they can't spell bleed or lever.
  13. Hmm... I guess you could always put a turbo on after
  14. This was posted in the NMC thread about this bike.
  15. Cool. I don't mind getting one from Spain if I have to. Looking forwards to this, I think. The graphics I've seen for it look cool!
  16. Do you know where you will be able to get one of these in England?
  17. Do you still actually have to rebuild it? I was reading about mazda's rotary engines, it said you had to rebuild the old ones every 50,000 miles, like in the mazda cosmo, but not in the renesis engine...
  18. Ha, well, you'd know, lol. When you read about them you hear that they're meant to have a higher fuel usage than an ordinary cylinder engine... but I don't reckon that takes into account the fact the engine produces twice the power a cylinder engine would at the same capacity. What's engine braking and stuff like in your car?
  19. Ah, right... Maybe if they used ceramics it would be lighter, I understand the engine is fairly heavy lol.
