Change passwords to something that's absolutly, 100% NOT guessable. Nothing related to you and 100% memorise it. Maybe like 2 random number plates you see on the motorway? Take the first part of one, then second of another. Memorise. That's your password. Never, EVER tell anyone. Make sure you only put it in on secure computers and have 'password saving' OFF so it doesn't auto-fill passwords for other people. It's worked for me. It will work for you. 100%. Fact. Or use this password generator: Here. Hope I Helped. Nick

Erm Hey. I entered last year but only started comps for the last 3 competitions so that was a bummer. I mainly ride street and I really enjoy it. It's much easier to get to and you dont have to spend a lot of time nor effort getting there. I roll into halfiax, Train to Leeds or where ever. Ride, Eat at a Mc D's or buy a Sandwich or something, then train home and get picked up. That's how me and my mates ride and we don't ride much natural at all, except Shipley Glen, but the flys piss me off :ermm: hehe. I've just got a new job @ halfords so that means that I can't ride Sundays' which is really pissing me off, as all decent rides are sundays!! And comps. Wayne, as i sed to you before when we were talking, if i get any possibility to change my hours so i'm not working sundays. I will ride Tyketrials this year. I'm not ace at natural, actually i'm not even good at it. I felt out classed in Intermediate which made me a little pissed off at my first competition. Also I wasn't used to the rules! I put my hand down :) Lol. Transport is a little problem but it's not too bad. I could get my parents to take me if i told them in advance, and my best mate Rick drives so if he did it he could give me a lift. I was going to come to Brimham rocks, not ride but just come with Waddy and Aran Cook, But couldn't get to where I had to meet them. Good topic dude. I'll tell my mates :) Nick (sorry for the essay)

Erm. To be fair I think that it's a bit of a scam having Zoo! graphics on a copy bike and I think the pink looks shit and doesn't really suite the bike what-so-ever. I'd buy new graphics. Not zoo ones as that's making a Fiesta with a Ferrari badge on. Nick. :o"

Erm: *sake Erm actually I thought that since someone is selling a bike that was made out to be cracked to me and everyone who rode with Nadine less than a week previous to the topic start date, it was highly probably it was cracked. Therefore, I was giving other members on the forum that knowledge, as I feel that me having that knowledge could be concealing a deal which isn't 100% true from the buyer's perspective. ;) If you want to 'stick up for your little 'trialsqueens' friend or what-not do it but if you can't put together a suitable, strong enough argument to get you anywhere you might as well not try. You don't ride yet. And have been on this forum since 31/10/2004 and have made 589. Most people get validated in under 30 posts. I wonder why you haven't. Not. And for you that can't understand sarcasm here's a definition for you: here. -
Hey. Noice site dude. Love the design. One small edit needs to be made ;):
-
Yeah the Zoo! stem is uber low. I've got a V!Z one and it's pretty decent :unsure: Backwheels take quite a wheel to get spot on 'cos it's so damn long but like Danny said, after 2 months + I can do everything better and yesterdays' riding session was even better than before. It makes gapping over stuff really easy!! Also with the extra length wheel swaps and frontwheel stuff is much easier. Nick
-
Buy a new freewheel. They're only a tenner.
-
Woo i've got viz stem and Zoo bars >_<
-
It will. Keep at it. It was the same with me. I was so pissed off I told my girlfriend I was quitting! I took 2 weeks out after 2 months and then went back fresh. It made loads of difference. Catch me on about about it (N) nick >_<
-
I've got the Python CLS version. Had a T-Pro before that too >_< First thing I noticed. Mega harder to pedal. I've got monty cranks (158mm though) and now i'm just about to fit a 13t rear cog to my profile at the back, hopefully making it a little better!! It didn't feel to ride very nice once I got it. I was uber sketchy and couldn't really control it THAT much but it wasn't TOO bad compared to my T-Pro. I've had it 3 months now, just over maybe, and I'm about 90% to grips with it. It's much nicer to gap, frontwheel stuff, backwheel stuff, frontwheel transfer, sidehop. Everything, it's nicer. I had back pains when i first started riding it, and i'm just about 6ft now. They go! Trust me. You'll get used to it. And it'll ride nicer once you've got used to it. Hope i helped. Nick

Adam, If i send you my wheel and a tenner for postage back and to do it you think you could? I love it! I want one of those Onza rims but can't be arsed de-building it and such. I've got a koxx single wall rim :D Nick :P

Unless it helps anti-bullying campagnes, call centres, workers etc? which is does.

Hi there. I'm a nOOb to the profile stuff and have just bought a 13t rear cog for it, as 12t on my bike's too hard imo. so i thought why not, try a 13t. Can't do any harm. I don't know how to take the cog off but i'm thinking this is how (please give me guidance / correct me) Get the wheel off the bike. Put a spanner / Adjustable onto the sproket size of the hub, on the flat bits. Get a chainwhip. Tie it round the sproket.. Turn the sproket anticlockwise, while keeping the spanner from moving. Sproket should come off? Then whta do i do to put the new one on? Pics would be VERY helpful as i've never taken one of these apart ever. Thanks. :angry: Nick :angry:

Erm ok nadine. You told loads of people it was cracked like a week ago though :lol: Anyways Best put a pic up and let the punters decide for themselves? Don't really want people buying a cracked frame or a 'non' cracked frame or whatever you're selling it as without knowing (Y) Also If you can dent stuff, you can crack stuff. Each individual frame may crack due to them being individual welds etc. Also It was on the chainstay which is a common area for Levelboss's to crack. And Dany Chew has cracked 3 frames and he's not a heavy rider. Quite similar to you - ish. Nick :) -
That bike is lush. Big disk! lol.

Loads of Koxx Levelbosses have been cracked, a fair few snapped too :lol: . Also older Zoo's were really shit but they've changed their reputations around faster than Onza i'd say. And with Neil and Craig helping them out they've become uber popular. Yeah I agree with SMO to be fair. Let them bash if they want, if not, dont. I dont care. I've got Onza Pedals which are realy good and only £19, and a 18T fixed cog to go with my Profile. Also had a T-Pro but got rid a little while ago. I'd rather buy something that's just as good as a really expensive brand for a cheaper price. But when I replaced my frame, the 2005 T-Mag wasn't about so I didn't reallly hve any choice but to get the frame I liked, the Zoo! Python. Nick

I use one finger on my Rear Maggie, and one finger on my Deore lever, for my front Avid Disk. That's fine for me. However i've got repetative strain injury as when i've just got my hand on the desk at school my brake finger sticks up from all the others :lol: B 'ryt
