    Watford

    Does any ride around the watford area, because I only ever see Grant there and I know there has got to be more?
  2. Bit ott but sounds cool good idea, however if the brake is set up right initially it is totally unnecessary. couldn't agree more. If I could get a new tpa for mine I would still be using it, might have to bodge something. P.s. Grant is it true that you fell off the quarter at watford and broke some ribs?
  3. Because standard black pads suck and give you no grip at all.
  4. I have no need to I use rock blues on a ground rim with tar, I never have any brake slip and even in the rain I get a great brake.
  5. That does not quite work. Wax is a smooth slippery subsatance and so the coefficient of friction will be less between the pads and the braking surface than if it was not there. Think about it in the most basic physics terms, a sticky pad on a rough surface will have more grip than a sticky pad on a smooth slippery surface like wax.
  6. Sorry change of plans now, my friend and I are going to chicksands instead.
  7. the steerer should bot about 0.5-1cm below the top of the stem. You may be able to get away with a tiny bit more depending on the stem.
  8. hope, juicys are crap and are very easy to break if you are hard on components
  9. I will be down from about 10 o'clock onwards.

    Tar

    Does anyone have any chunks of tar I can have, I tried B and Q but they don't sell it.
  14. When I try something big, the words 'oh f**k it' usually leave my mouth just before hand. Basically the way that I progress is to lack all common sense and just throw myself off even if I don't think I'll make it. Works great 9/10. The other 10% of the attempts are catastrophic.
  15. Does anyone know where I can get a frame protecter for the downtube on my bike from?
  16. Everyone gets doubts before theytry something big. The important thing is just having the cojones to do it anyway.
