  1. I think its more of that all the spokes are loose, as its always meant to be dished one way. Try 1/2 turn on every spoke and see if its any better.
  2. Free-Coaster hub, fancy things, very expensive for a decent one. They engage when pedalling, but then can coast both ways.
  3. Agreed. Despite not being that nippy, theyre still fun. The corsa that is. Mines a 1.2 beast, love it.

    Well, CRV's are generally pretty well represented, as they are the same compound as the CRM's, which are damn good. Depending on your level of grind, they can vary in lock/bite, but i say get them.
  5. Well, as the wheel is slightly smaller, then you can run a harder ratio than with 26" wheels. As steve says, i think anything which is between 18:12 and 22:18 will be alright.
  6. Poll would be good? Every year or so.
  7. Happened to one of my buddies on the beach once, could be due to heat?
  8. Don't forget that a 205mm brake on stock will still be less powerful than a 160mm on a mod, so if they work gravy on big wheels, theres no reason they shouldnt work amazing on mod.
  9. Haha, my pc only cost £400 like 2 years ago, im not exactly rich.
  10. Well my dad had a spare 5600 GT which im using now, and the problem is gone, woo! Thanks for the advice anyway guys, i may still get the 6200.
  11. Hmm, cheap too. I think i'll buy that unless anyone knows of anything better. I dont mind spending a few bob to get something which will be better in the long run.
  12. My shitbag GeForce 4 MX440 is currently dying, so i need a new card of graphics. Preferably around £40 or less, as long as its decent. I think my brother got a Nvidia 5200 or something, and that seems fairly good for the price? Link away!
  13. Are they monty specific hope brakes any different to the normal ones? Or just a different stamp? Looks real nice, if you ever come to hastings, let me know!
  14. I swear my Plaz were beasty till it got to the bottom of the groves, then they went a bit more mediocore. Maybe theres more to it that we think?

    My Knee...

    Good old cancer of the 'caps. Thats a killer right there.
  16. When you send it out i dont think you have to do anything, well i didnt. Just send it as normal.
  17. My buddy returned one to you that had fallen apart after the lockring came loose. What happened to that?
  18. Haha, that was safe as houses, those bikes were going no where.
  19. He has a point though. Complaining is way cooler than you expect. Most big companies will just give you your money back to shut you up, and maybe free stuff too.
  20. To be a little bit fairer, the road is straight as f**k, but still. I'm called a safe driver by all my friends, and i like it that way. Driving fast is fun, but i've seen some pretty bad accidents happen in front of me so i'll always be wary. Get better soon!
  21. Haha, isnt it strange that you were doing 60 in a 30 with no licence, no 21 year old driver, and no insurance?
  22. Im lead to beleive that no one has snapped a team frame within the last 3 years or so. Thats fairly strong in my books. They are heavier than some frames, but arent exactly tanks.
  23. I dunno if anyone else noticed, but the echo rims have also been changed. I could only tell as the new ones have smaller holes, but i guess they probably changed something else too.
  24. Sounds like it should be alright, Just make sure the top of the steerer is within about 2cm of the top of the stem if you can. The closer the better really.
  25. They're cheap If you dont have any luck, you could get a headlock? It's not a long term solution, but will work. Yeah, im always free.
