Your just trying to be like me arent you ;) Get yourself a Team or Short Python then Monty Bars and Either Zoo Stem or something. Team forks are ok, Fall Guys could be more your kinda thing though? P.S. Going to mod wont make you fly any higher, you'll still land like a sack of sh*t :D Deal with it. Olly.

I've noticed a big problem with my Blue RimJams and I've shown the riders I rode with the problem too. Basically I set the pads up perfectly level with the rim, I have my TPA fairly wound out so theres no problems there, I press the brake down and it hits the rim flat as it should. The problem is when I hold the brake and physically pull the wheel you can see the soft blue material (still sticking to the Rim) move with the wheel this inturn makes the pads wear away at the back to a circular style angle. Now I run a non-ground rim with tar on it, but for me this is a big problem. At the start of the ride the was wearing at the back but near the end there was a whole bit of pad that seemed to be missing?? I've only really had 2 small 1 hour rides and a sunday ride on them so far :D I may have to switch them over for greens because there wearing in such a way. I'll be on MSN if you want to talk about it Chris ;) Olly.

V-Brakes are all fine and dandy on stock bikes but for a mod bike there not really an option, I used to run them for ages but ran into so many problems that it wasn't worth trying. Vee's are fine on stock (Y) But not reccomended on mods :unsure: Olly.

If you thinking of putting a v-brake on your mod then stop thinking about it now (Y) The bigest problems being the tyre is huge and its hard to get the cable clear of the tread, also the wheel setp being horizontal theres so many variations that it makes it ultra hard to get them set up and stay working and getting the tyre clear etc. I used to swear by Vees... and now I dont, there nice an' all but there just not a magura Im afraid. Stick to whats best, especially on mods :unsure:

Pinky you muppet just get a 127.5mm or 122.5mm UN53 from tartybikes :unsure:

Well at the moment Im running the low Zoo! stem and black monty risers.. so I thought that would be higher than what CLS's must be running zoo and zoo. I have a high rise megamo stem and onza stem in my spares so I may try one of those on after today just to see if the hieght makes any difference for me. I really dont want to change bars, *Starts girl from budwiser adverts voice* "zoo ones are ok, monty ones just feel better" */Ends Voice* :unsure: The stem issue I'll have to look into, but if you check out my spec I'd say bar and stem and maybe Mr. Ko's crank suggestion could be the problem. We'll see.. Cheers Guys Also the whole 375mm stays thing is probably a BIG issue to that I'll just have to get used to.

I hope so (N) The other day I actually got so annoyed I just threw the bike as far as I could. I never throw my bike never have before as it cost's alot to repair and is silly to do, but it got to me that bad, I'd already kicked it and rolled it away hard aswell. It gets me soo angry. We'll see how it feels tomorrow in cambridge hopefully It'll make it back with me and not end up in some river. >_< Cheers for the replies.

Right alot of you out there seem to have Pythons and I've always though it was the best mod frame out, so finally I've got one to try out. Built it up the first day, proper pimped out spec and everything, get out to ride and... well it feels crap incomparason to my T-Pro. It didn't feel "super long" like I expected it just felt harder to do stuff on, harder to pull up, harder to keep up (unless properly on back wheel) not alot better for "to front wheel" stuff as I thought it might be and no instant impression on my riding, except loosing everything I like to do >_< What were you all like when you first got it and how have you gotten on with it since? I've had mine a week now and have been suffering shoulder pains something cronic and although I've gotten slightly more used to it it still hurt and its still hard to do most stuff on. All in all im fairly dissapointed in the frame so far (N) So I wanna hear your thoughts and also riding style and height (Im 6ft 1) Cheers Olly

Yea top video there, looked fun and yet still professional >_< Nice riding and TOP locations, Places like that are nowhere round here I'll tell you that for nothing..

Right so heres the pic: Cambridge Ride Meet-up Map Also slightly more worrying found this one too (N) Gotta love steve >_<

Seconded (N) If he does them I'll be impressed (Y)

Well PM me if you are coming for my number, we usually meet at 11-ish at the station, or parkside swimming pool because its huge and easy enuff to find. If Heatsink's online he's the top dog for knowing where to park and how to get there so shoot him a PM >_< I'll go look for his pic now.. Hopefully about 10 or so will be there if joe, george and sam and any others come, should be good with a little chilled sesh around that size (Y) with no super good people allowed.. (N)"

See how your options are worsening :) Might aswell get the hacksaw and mallet out now..

Yup. Definately looks tasty :) Its got that touch of freshness like the BT's have nothing too out there but something modern, I'd like to see more companys developing mod frames like this they seem to be fairly mainstream from what I've seen. But the build looks like it would ride very nice UCI street, and the white frame looks prtty lush with the stickers and stuff on :angry: Olly.

I have to say I probably wont be on form though :) The Python may look nice but its absolutely killing me, My shoulders and pectorial muscles are the worst but my back and neck and ribs infact all hurt too... its a hard life. :angry:

Yea count me in :) I'll have to see about some large sidehops and maybe a few drop gaps if im up for it, test out the new ride :) Olly.

Right, Torrent stuff is sorted ;) Pretty simple really (Y) The phone stuff on the other hand is PISSING ME OFF! I cant find any program that will do it with the data cable, even trials of full-version programs (Y) Its damned annoying all I wanna do is get pics and stuff to PC and vice versa, maybe some games and themes to etc. Seems impossible, so if any of you do know for sure dont hold back (Y) Im going to look into card readers see whats the fron there.. Olly.

I've been on www.nokia.com and had a look around.. I've downloaded the PC Suite but it doesn't look like it has datacable suuport if it does... well I can find it ;) I have got a 7250i and had the hooked up fine and could transfer stuff, but with the 6600 its a "Symbian Phone" or something and it makes it more complicated (Y) I may have to see about getting a card reader? So I can just stick stuff on my MMC and then stick that in my phone? Hmm.. I'll have a bosh around the torrent sites.. Cheers so far ;)

Howdy Peeps, Right heres the thing/s... Firstly looking for some software (free please) for my Nokia 6600 to link and transfer stuff to my PC, now I have a data cable for it and have found a few software programs that are free but currently only have IR/bluetooth support. I was wondering if theres any phone wizz's on here or general know-alls (Y) that know where I can get some software so I can trnasfer pics etc. Secondly... I've now not had any kind of downloader (Kazaa, iMesh and the like) for ages to keep my PC as clean and virus free as possible.. but Im desperate to see the new episodes of smallville that have been on in the US and a friend at work says he gets them of BitTorrent linked with TorrentSpy or something? so I'm looking for the best option with the least spyware and crap on there, thats all I'll be needed it for atm. So if you can help post up on here ;) Cheers Olly

Im not sure how beefy the '05 stays are but Im running some beefy BMX ones from www.billys.co.uk on my '04 one, infact I've had them on every bike since I can remeber there proper beefy (Y) and about £5-10 or something.

Anyone remeber the MASSIVE TRA crushed hand prank? It got soo many people! It said his hand was crushed by a lorry and he'd never be able to ride again, all the TRA bummers were going crazy and posting how they loved him and stuff :angry: was funny

Doesn't look like they can park all to well though :angry:"
