  1. That is just mental. Guys got balls though give him that. Which is surprising after hitting that post at 43 seconds :lol: And oh my god the way he was walking at the end!! I nearly choked on my tea laughing at that :lol:
  2. This is my 2008 Commencal Absolut Cromo.
  3. Well, since realizing my 2008 Commencal Absolut will only take a disc brake on the back, I am riding brake less (not much of a problem right now as the bikes in bits anyway). And I was just wondering if their is a way of fitting a normal brake on the rear? Or if not, what is a good rear disc to buy? Within a budget of about £100-120. Thanks in advanced for any replies
  4. Well I am still having problems with my Commencal head set, I have tried every combination I can think of with the spacers and the bits and pieces in the head set. And just wondering if anyone can help me sort it out once and for sale? The problems I'm having is, some of the combinations, when I tighten it, the handlebars won't turn. And the other is, no matter how much I tighten it, after a few minutes it comes loose again... I can post pictures up of all the components I have if it will help someone explain how I build it up... I have got 2 head sets mixed up, so can't figure out the right bits I need to put with what on it.... Help :$
  5. Must not be a very good sprayer then Mine always come out 100%
  6. Not thought about giving it a bash yourself? I do all my own spraying, and it's as good as any shop would be. Might be worth thinking about
  7. Very nice looking stuff. Such confidence in your gaps. And along the bike rails. Enjoyed that!
  8. Absolutely not! It's not about how old you are, it's about having fun and making a tit of yourself, so get out there and enjoy!
  9. I have been on countless trains, different companies to a few different places, and never had a problem with taking a bike on, including Virgin trains. Didn't have a reservation, just took it on. But if someone starts having a go at me I tend to grab them by the throat and tell 'em to p!ss off, don't know if that may work in my favour
  10. You are damn lucky! That is one sexxxxxxxxxxxxy bike!
  11. I personally don't think heat would damage the frame, you're not going to be subjecting it to temperatures enough to melt/bend it. So it should be fine. But if your in any doubt, ring someone who does sand blasting (firing sand to remove paint) then ring someone who does the powder coating, just to be on the safe side. It may also help to ask the powder coater what kind of temperature and paints to use too. If you have any doubts.
  12. Or if you want to REALLY get it down. If your doing this for weight issues. Use a Dremmel or similar such tool. With a big sanding disc on it (to save time using a small one). Worked absolute magic on my forks. Got away about 18 layers of paint in about 2 hours (im not very fast with it )
  13. I was going to say the same thing, takes a lot longer to learn new things because its so challenging, although I do think a fortnightly magazine would be cool, and of course, money maker for the creator
  14. Definite world champion in the making there.
  15. Nice riding, definitely keep a lid on your conker though. Also whats the name of the song and whos it by?
  16. If anyone were to say anything bad/nasty, it would only be about the quality of the video or the song. Theres definitely NOTHING wrong with your riding ability!
  17. Great riding, although I do agree about the camera thing, maybe next time get someone to film you
  18. Your manual and front wheel skill is second to none. Great ride!
  19. Hows it riding Rob? Not seen you on MSN for a while mate. Hope all is well.
  20. Car is now sold, time to have fun shopping for stuff :P

  21. Its weird seeing my old frame lol. Looks good Rob!!
  22. The bike is actually for sale at the moment anyway, but it helps if I can tell the buyer what the problem is lol. I may attempt fixing it, not sure were I would get a freehub or freewheel from, or what ones are good or would even fit, I'm pretty simple when it comes to trials parts, and what goes were. Just hope the bike sells to someone who knows what they are doing and it will be alright
  23. Don't have such a big monitor? Don't run shitty 7even? STICK TO XP!
  24. So do I need just a new rear sprocket, or do I need a whole new hub or what? Thanks for the help by the way guys .
