the rimjams are awesome, possibly the best pad ive ever had. They took literally a minute to bed in and there was awesome bite, hold and a loud squeek there right away!! Theyve got cnc backings aswell so once you buy a set you can just keep sending them back to get new pad material in. The best bit is you get all this for £18, alot cheaper than competitors pads. To refurbish them it costs £10!!. Buy some, you'll love em- www.rimjam.com

Hey guys, Ive changed quite a bit on the limey 2 so i thought i'd post some pics up for you all to see. Sorry about the pants quality, all done on my phone. The parts i have changed are: -front tryall white rim on goldtec 28hole hub and sapim spokes -rear try-all white rim on echo fixed 6 speed hub with bt light weight sprocket and hope spacer kit -rimjam pads back (sooo good) -maxxis minion's f&r -simatra stem -new forks on warranty -tensile ace headset I would like to say a big thankyou to rimjam brake pads and maxxis tyres (mma sports) for supporting me for the rest of the season.

that vid really did make me laugh.....out loud lol. Think you lot handled it in a pretty good way, well atleast an entertaining way lol. -Hugh

yeah defo have to organise a big ride soon bud. I should have some more photos after the weekend for rimjam so i'll post them all up. -Hugh
-
nice rob, that was a bit beastly that rock, had a go but could not even really hook it that good lol. You know of anyone else taking pics?? -Hugh
-
ah cool, glad you like it, my monty was good except when i got sea water all over the disks lol. You riding this weekend??
-
a tensile freewheel is what you want, koxx went over board with their frewheels and tried to cram too much in, i think they just wanted to say "our freewheels have the most engagement points" whopeeee lol. I have heard of too many failing and wouldnt trust one. My tensile hasnt skipped once (touch wood) and still runs as smooth as the day i got it, it's been throught seat water, sand, mud etc etc and still runs spot on. -Hugh

nice bike, thought u weren't having the double disk??
-
it's from biketrial-spain and i'm pretty sure he has alot to do with monty and their riders. -Hugh
-
i'm there, riding expert 26"

try the new rim jams bud dont really need bedding in, loud as you like, loads of bits and hold and they come in alluminium backings for less than £20!!! cheers-Hugh
-
to be honest Adam it's looking rather "pimp". Loving all the little extras like ti/coloured bolts and carbon goodies, really sets it off. You wait for the new pics of the limey 2 -Hugh
-
i can understand what you mean about the pyramid shape bud, sounds like the disk is know where near far enough into the calliper. If i were you i would ring koxx and explain the situation. They were talking about the possible problems with this frame on otn. How exactly do they expect you do ajust the chain but the calliper not move with the position that it's in?? -Hugh
-
looks nice dude!! Aslong as your happy with it thats all that matters and by the sounds of it you have worked hard to get it I myself have spent over £1300 on my limey 2 so i know it's easily done. I do however think that koxx over price their bikes because they rely on the brand name to sell them.
-
oww right sorry my mistake. They did it to a friend of mine a while back and payed in too much to his account. They never touched it. Must just be luck lol. -hugh
-
if the bank has fooked up and payed it into your account i dont think they can actually touch it. Worth ringing them and asking where it was payed in etc. Just wait and see what happens.
-
i should be going, need to enter etc though. i'll have a word with you soon patt. cheers-Hugh
-
yep ive got the truvative bb and tartys tool to fir it. Ive run it for a month or so no and it's seems pretty nice, smooth and still working (touch wood) so i'm happy. Tensile will be bringin out a bb soon, going into testing over the next couple of weeks. Might be worth the wait?? cheers-Hugh

i dont want to affect any chances of me not gettin new forks on warranty. All i wanted to know was does it look like a crack, thats been answered, i dont want it being discussed, and the forks questioned by everyone!! -Hugh
-
Hey guys, probably will be building up some new wheels for various reasons. just wondering do the goldtec front hub's (xc/trials) take fun bolts or are they quick release only?? Also, are the echo 6speed fixed hubs any good? cheers-Hugh
-
ok wikid cheers bud, after the full bike i expect looks loverly. thanks for your help-Hugh
-
awesome cheers for that bud, i take it no one has an idea on prices yet. Just wondering if the hrdroxx was gona be more towards £1500-2000 or more towards £1000? cheers-Hugh
-
i didnt say it deffo would but i know what bike companys are like and i know they can nit pick. All i want is another set of forks, which by law i'm entitled to. Much easier if i just leave it to the dealer. cheers-Hugh
