  1. Magura louise disc brakes are pretty darn good. They have good power and hold and have very good modulation. But they dont have the light, glass like feel at the lever like a hope. I'd say they're 80% as good as a mono trials.
  2. Well it will make getting around easier and should still be ok for street but will make life a bit harder for regular trials.
  3. I actually laughed out loud at that! Wasnt the (slighty) better specced "official" onza T-rex about £499?
  4. Well if u need more speed drop the rear down a tooth from 14t to 13t that should do the trick (to an extent!) and still be useable for trials.
  5. Meh this dont change shit! It would be fantastic if it did but i seriously doubt it. I suppose there wont be a Team America 2 "Kim's revenge" now!
  6. About 6 i reckon. Had a SHITE start to the year was payin out more than i was earning then it picked up in July! Good bits. Quit smoking!!! Got a £5000 a year payrise! FINALLY made my 1st group ride at the DJ ride in pompey. Started to get My Aussie visa sorted Paid my debts off. Bad bits. Split up with the missus of 5 years (back together now.) Still havent spoken to my dad (which has been 2 years now) Got into quite abit of debt STILL havent got myself a 24 yet! Lost a good friend in a motorcycle accident. Havent done ANY fishing this year. Put on too much weight! Missed out on Thruxton BSB again! Fairly mixed year hope to make right some wrongs next year and start doing more for ME rather than worry about every other f****r!!!

    Films!?

    28 weeks later i've wanted to watch it for ages and boy do i wish i had'nt. Complete load of shite! Very unimpressed.
  8. Yeah i'll be goin' triple clamp. Had a quick look on Southern downhill most guys run Fox 40's or Boxxers. One of my mate is still running a set of 2001 shivers which are great. How much roughly would i need to budget to get forks serviced?
  9. The frame i have ordered is the new Identiti Mogul it looks like it has a tapered head tube, i'll have to ask next time i go make a payment on the frame. I'll deffo look into some Boxxers. Whats Marzocchi's latest DH offerings?
  10. Hi guys, i was planning to go motocrossing over the winter but after some weighing up i decided its not cost effective. So i want to buy a downhill bike again, i know what frame im after next big thing is forks and im not sure what to buy. I dont have a huge budget so manitou Dorado's and Fox 40's are a no no! Any good advice would be most welcome.
  11. Very little nowadays. Get asked more about Danny Macaskill, "have you seen that guy on you tube?" or "can you flip out of a tree aswell?" You get the odd "excuse me do you think thats appropriate to ride on there?" I have said in the past all im doing is riding my bike not mugging old ladies or drinking on the streets or doing drugs. Nowadays i just put my headphones in and ride away.
  12. I thought Jenson has been awesome this year. Alot better than Lewis. I've also been pretty impressed by Paul Di Resta.
  13. Yeah the old Ellsworth frames were Anodized. Majority of the components on your bike would be anodized so you can see how it will last. Powder coat will ultimately last longer!
  14. I was four on a red and white Raleigh BMX! My Nan came up to visit us in Scotland she taught me how to ride up the football pitches. Happy times!
  15. I actually really like the silver spacers goes well with the headset.
  16. I can only make out part of the Paisley graphics in the photo.
  17. That looks alot better. Does it feel different?
  18. I would love a 23 window samba deluxe with a 2.4 ltr type 4 engine running a set of IDA's and a set of willwood 4 pot brakes and some detailed fuch wheels! The new Ducati 1199 Panigale S The new Inspired Skye Think thats about it!
  19. I know what your getting at. Old school frame new school build. I've always lusted after a 26mhz for the last 10 years and seeing this dont make it any easier! I still think its the best looking trials frame ever produced.
  20. Lol a Sniper rifle was just what i was thinking a nice Barrett .50 cal!! Seriously dont do it mate they are the spawn of EVIL! buy a skateboard or something or just take your trials bike!!!
