  1. Either talk to Pete @ Wip bikes whos on the forum. Or contact Marino @ marino bikes.com, they should be able to help you on your way! If your stuck on geometry just check ryan leech's bike for a start point. On the Norco site.
  2. I think the only solution is a custom frame dude. If you buy one or the other it will always be a hinderance at some stage in your riding.

    Films!?

    Watched terminator salvation saturday night was quite surprised thought it would be shite like the 3rd but i really enjoyed it. Watched sherlock holmes aswell which was pretty good nothing special but a good watch none the less.
  4. I agree with Ali C. I run 2 cogs on the back of my bike a 16t for normal trials riding and a 13t for streetier riding (in a bmxy sense not trialsy sense if you see what i mean) that way it makes the bike more dual purpose A slightly shorter stem if you feel the need too and i touch higher if thats your bag and that should be sufficent for what your after.
  5. If you can get one a Ryan Leech Norco would be awesome as there designed for sus forks. I've also seen Mart Ashton using a sus fork on an effect frame.
  6. What do you to know really? You need to be more specific dude.
  7. Looks pretty good man. How do those echo's ride with dual disc? Seriously man those Blue rim tapes have got to GO! Black or white For The Win!
  8. sorry im a tool!! Should know better really!
  9. Ah thanks for clearing that up lads! Whats the stock geo of the 24" pete?
  10. Dmr supermoto, lower profile, lighter and look pimp as FOOK with the skinwalls. Probably need a DH tube on the back (sidewalls are quite thin!) DO NOT use halo twin rails! They suck! Kenda kniptions are pretty good, as are kenda k-rads.
  11. Maxxis Holyroller. Probably the best tyre on the market. Light(ish) uber grippy and probably never ever get a pinch either.
  12. In no particular order, Killswitch Engage, End of heartache All That Remains, The fall of ideals Bob Marley, Legend Rage Against The Machine, Rage against the machine (burning monk on the cover) Jack Johnson, In between dreams Fear Factory, Obsolete Slipknot, Vol. 3 subliminal verses System Of A Down, Toxcity Pemdulum, Hold your colour ZZ Top, Afterburner
  13. could you explain the dropouts as im a little slow look similar to the leeson one but i dont get them either!!!
  14. I reckon by the end of the year 2/3rds of TF will be riding Echo pure's! Looks super neat and clean.
  15. Flush them trough using the grease port if that fails the bearings are cheap enough to replace so dont worry too much about it!!
  16. What you were saying about discs rubbing a disc is easily straightened or replaced at a fraction of the price or hassle of a buckled wheel. Discs For the win!!
  17. If it was to merge prehaps a couple of new stickys should be put in place ie, what bike? and freewheels just to try keep a bit of order.
  18. Hope to see your build soon. Keep us posted mate.
  19. It would pay off my mortgage nicely!!
  20. All the bolts are tight? Nothing is bent? Prehaps a tight link the chain?
  21. Get a Hope pro 2 for the back, if you can afford them get some middleburns and bash, front brake I'd reccomend an avid bb7 or hope mono trials/tech trials are very popular aswell. out back is a bit trickier alot of folks run a magura hs33 but there are ALOT of 24 street riders who swear by rear v brake with grippy pads ie, heatsink yellows, tnn lgm's ect but that will really be personal preferance! Gearing again will be personal choice but 22-16 would be a good starting place. Stem height is personal again stem wise 90mm x 15 degree is about right. Bars are personal choice some go for trials bars like trialtech high rise or some go for traditional mtb bars like NS bikes habanero's or azonic double walls. All the other stuff is pretty small. Hope i have cleared it up a bit for you.
  22. Is the chain hitting the inside of the bashring? It sounds like the chain could be too wide.
  23. I love all black bikes when done properly. Lookin good as alway Ross.
