a wire brush does the trick

i'll be going up there more often as we get into summer so i'll give you a shout to let you know when i'm going up. I live in keighley but i go up some weekends

i'd suggest an onza t-pro, they're brilliant to start on. You'll probably be able to get a really good deal on ebay.

he's askin what bike would be best not that he'd like to buy one off someone on here, anyway it depends on how much you're willing to spend?

very smooth riding, lovely to watch

2 finger braking is fine, but only using one finger does help: it gives you more power to throw the bike around
-
tensiles are pretty good, they're cheap and long lasting. If ur willing to spend more go for the White Industries ENO http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/category.php?id=16

front disk are deffinatly more popular. Avid bb7's are are great if your looking for a cheap one - £55. You can't go wrong; easy set up, no bleeding/re-bleeding, all round a brilliant brake.
-
deffinatley go for echo lite, for the price they're brill. what are you thinking of getting, the rear disk mount or maggie?

this may seam a pointless and unhelpful answer but it's just down to practice. It will become second nature after a while, you wont have to think about it.

what is hold and bite like, do they slip often?

I know rock blues are brilliant pads but I was wondering what the greens are like if anyone has tried them out? I have used the search but nothing much has turned up. Please give me your review if you have used them.

i hadn't herd of them till today, i was out ridin nd one of my mates said he was using them, he said they're pretty good so i thought i might get some and see what they're like i assume it's spelt "phat"
-
does anyone know where to get them from. A website address would be great James

yes!!!!!!! one of my mates who preferes street went up to shipley, first time riding natural properly and he was just as good at natural as he is street.

my 05 python again - new stem and tyres
-
avid bb7 deffinatly - good quality
-
i go for either rock pads - http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2077 or if your willing to spend a bit more, heatsink reds which are well worth their money - http://www.heatsinkbikes.com/?p=brakepads#hmag
-
personally i prefere street but also like the odd bit of natural now and again, it's mainly personal preferences. I agree with you that natural is harder and needs more stamina, balance and overall skill. Basically it's down to what your prefere.

creepy crawlers are brilliant
-
id suggest: blue rock pads - brilliant alround pads http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=2077 or if you want real top quality performance some heatsink reds - brilliant bite in all conditions http://www.heatsinkbikes.com/?p=brakepads#hmag
