  1. Indeed it is. Then onto A2 next monday, fantastic.
  2. It takes approx ~ 1 year to clear, thats all i know.
  3. I have two tomorrow. Physics in action, and understanding processes. 3 Hours, in the boiling heat, im going to die.

    New 20" Frame

    Short for a bike that long. The BB isn't particularly high either, so its gunna ride like a tank. Still a bargain, although for £30 more i know what frame i would have.
  5. Stuff can be ordered in and dispatched again within 2 days, if all goes well (and i know this from experience) so unless they are out of stock at Koxx UK, then it shouldnt be long.
  6. I do beleive that you can get disk adaptors that screw onto flip-flop hubs, but i wouldnt advise it. There are a range of hubs which can take rear disk now, so trying one of those would be a much better idea.
  7. Err. So when do you get your signatura frame then? That tap on the sloped wall, wtf.
  8. Indeedy, my king is the don. But until they make me a rear disk king, i would go with the ffw crew if i ever changed.
  9. We did, weird stuff. Maths should be alright, but we will see how my results go. Just looked, im doing OCR, so guess thats why.
  10. I am, woop. Think im on AQA too. Revision would be a good idea, but i've got study leave so screw that. Infact, im going riding.
  11. I know this isnt the time or the place, but. Kings are solid! Your legs must be like tree's if you can get any sponge out of that beast.
  12. Length isnt a problem, i run 175's and theyre great. I think 22-14 would be fairly close, but look for a ratio calculator, it needs to be about 1.5:1
  13. Course. But who doesnt accept free stuff.
  14. Cranks will work, but hell be forced to run a funky gear ratio. Forks will be weird, but possible. Cheapo forks will be much better.
  15. Could the little bolt that adjust spring tension have come out? Sounds like the most likely candidate to me.
  16. Ti plated rotor too, they are rather nice. Too bad i will never think about using them.
  17. Haha, i love the sly digs against tensile If these are as good as they sound, then i may try one if i ever go rear disk.
  18. Im fairly certain there is nothing wrong with them in essence. Waynes was definitly working how it should, except that it came undone. It must be something about how they ride, maybe the ride along way before getting to a spot they want to ride, or they pedal backwards alot. Either way, OBM's didnt do it, so how could onza have known?
  19. Or, you could get a monty hub with a koxx rim... Best of both worlds.
  20. Basically, whichever way the lockring turns to unscrew, it will always come loose whilst riding trials as there are forces going both ways.
  21. Ok, so my first post was wrong, but the rest were fine...
  22. Sigh, its late. I thought i understood what your saying. The ACS lockring tightens anti clockwise, and the tensile goes clockwise. Yes? And you are saying the ACS goes clockwise?
  23. I get you, but thats not what happens on normal freewheels. The outer coggy bit spins anti clockwise, but the lockring doesnt, meaning it comes loose somehow. Obviously, the tensile is different, so that as you freewheel, the lockring turns anti clockwise. Edit: This wasnt intended by onza obviously as it loosens whilst riding. Maybe onza have gone out of the frying pan and onto the fire with this design, in that it now still loosens, just a different direction.
  24. Ok, well i'm confused. Freewheel's conventionally loosen clockwise, so the tensile tightens clockwise so it doesn't fall apart. If its loosening, then the threads must be the standard way.
  25. Which is the whole idea. But you must have a duff one. Refund or replace!
