  1. those look real nice i dunno if i could ride a +70 bb. I struggle to feel comfortable on a +25 bb on a stock! How does it feel on 2 wheels?
  2. sorry about the double post my phone went gay!
  3. sounds good all round mate. The only slight niggles and they are slight are the Freewheel is not really suited for trials and may need replacing at some point. And the rear brake is not ideal you would be better with a Maggie. Other than that sounds good mate. sounds good all round mate.

  4. If these "spanish" style bb's can withstand the beatings a bmx'er can dish out i dont see why a trials specific one wont work just aswell. As for the looks i agree they look abit... well meh! I prefer the older frames for looks imo the zoo! short wb modstock pitbull was one of the best looking frames of recent years.
  5. that issue has been cleared up then,which is good news.
  6. From what i've heard you would be advised to strip the lever and clean it through as it has sometimes been known for swarf to be left in the lever causing them to leak and knacker the seals.
  7. Mark do you know if Onza will be doing anything new with their stock bikes for 11'?
  8. black hubs, black spokes with orange nipples and silver rims silver stem with black bars and orange grips silver cranks with black bashring and orange pedals.
  9. The bird should stay! Havent you heard that the bird is the word!?
  10. A whole lot clearer i read the link aswell. Looks like a neat self contained little unit. Im sold on the idea now.
  11. Watching videos like Tricktionary as an idea for learning some street moves. And watch some flatland bmx tutorials online also for some mega tech tricks.
  12. Isnt that what Jack Meek is testing at the moment? A zoot 26"?
  13. Ross mate can you explain those dropouts to me in a bit of detail? I cant quite work them out? How does the hub fit in the cams things like that?
  14. the rear axle on the zoot is a nutted one by the looks of things so you could BUT the would be flexy and possibly bend them. If your riding park i would advise against discs to be honest they,ll get f**ked up quick! For the riding you will be doing i'd go for a smaller rear sprocket and possibly a shorter stem prehaps a 70x35 or 90x25 seem to be popular choices amongst street hooligans!
  15. There sent to a test range in wiltshire. The ballistic vests are tested with various calibres of rounds and at different velocities ie, a 7.62 at 650 ft/sec to find the NIJ levels of each product. As for stab vests. A projectile (edged blade, hypodermic needle, steel spike ect.) is attached to a numatic ram and fired at the vest. The helmets are tested in a similar fashion to the ballistic vests. I belive there are videos on you tube of us testing our EOD mine clearance suits. We blow the f**ker up with something like 4lbs of C4 and there is hardly a mark on it! If you type in "United Shield International" you should find the vids if your interested.
  16. tyre is a DMR moto rt 24"x2.4" probs go down to a 38mm rim then.
  17. The rest of the set up will be an SD7 with heatsink snowies.
  18. I'd recomend (if your using a rear cassette hub that is) to use 2 rear sprockets a 22t or 23t up front. Then on the back a 16t for trials and a 12t aswell for riding around. I have this set up and it works a treat.
  19. Sorry to topic jack but i have 1 small question that doesnt warrant a seperate thread will a 44mm echo TR rim fit into the element frame spaced at 95mm?
  20. sorry Adam just checked your web site my bad!
  21. I guess stocking lots of kit can be confusing!! So i can now purchase coloured 24" echo TR's?
  22. Why oh why wont dent put those pretty colours on to their hubs? Adam, Mark do you guys know if they will have all 14 colours avaliable on the Urban, TR and SL 24" rims this year? Rather than black or white.
  23. A question to all the "if u wanna ride bmxy buy a bmx" brigade if you think danny is just bmx on a trials bike, do you give as much shit to riders on hardtails doing manuals and bar spins? Do shout at them "buy a bmx!"? Bet you dont. The real issue with alot (not all) of you TGS riders is this pure jealousy! And attack of the green eyed monster prehaps?
  24. Planetary1 i think u hit the nail on the head there mate.
