  1. the spoke base on my adamant hub is wider than that of standard 135mm hubs. eg chris king, the hub of choice for most riders. it has a wider spoke base, less leverage on the axle because its shorter. only thing 135 is bettter for is that it means you can run gears, BUT UCI comps (incase you ride them) allow singlespeed set up now, also most comps in the UK allow singlespeed set up unless in very top categories so other than the fact you would have to buy a new hub, what is so annoying about it? or is everyone just pissed off that deng tried something new? you could always do what tunni did and cut ur king axle to fit the frame
  2. i dont like how plain it is, how designs are restricted really because of the tubing. i dont like the weight issue, just a personal opinion. i always see folk bigging up steel and im not sure why. but i remember that the forum is alot of newbies following 'cool' members etc so if they say steel is cool, then newbs automatically do. i think that if aluminium was available at similar prices as steel is and it wasnt so mass produced in the far east, that much stell products wouldnt be available i dont know, maybe im wrong, but i get the entire feeling with the steel trend, that people ride frames made in stell because they think it makes them individual or that they are sayin f**k you because the ride a frame that is "made in england/britain" (p.s i had a curtis back in the day, and loved it when i had it, but now i look back, and it was a pointless frame for me)
  3. i like aran, we hugged once, then we shared a polite joke about drugs and how he was going to jump me later. then i ran off quickly but i still like him, but only when he is more than 10ft away oh and for his bikes they look reet to me, mikes looks pretty nice. i like the fact you can play around with shizzle on them, i dont like them because they are steel. x
  4. take away the hoook tunni did at that white wall in his last video because it had a kicker. Sorry neil, but it did, thus not making it a cool proper hook, but a cool assisted hoook hooks should not be from bunny hop. its a decision i made for the rest of the trials world many moons ago, anyone getting a big hook from bunny hp officially has their score wiped from the cards thanksyou
  5. the pick with bessel sidehopping with the large drop to the side is pretty sweeet. if only the wall was thinner > closer to the danger > possible chance of bessel getting muddy = ben travis happy
  6. 11 pound sent to yourself, drink it wisely mr jones!!!1 WISELY I SAY
  7. if he has stripped his threads, he has to drill out the old ones, create new ones at a larger size, then stick a helicoil in to make the threads m4 (same as existing) if he is just wanting the steel helicoil in there he will have to do the same, or else he will have a smaller hole than before! unnerstand mr snappel?
