  1. RIGHT! sorry to hijack the thread, can someone please fire up post codes or a decent location of the events in the tyke trials callender, I'm going to be training myself up over the next few moths for a full season...... (if I can hack it)

  3. thats a bit fit. you still got the marin?
  4. I was out bid my £2! What a bummer. Got another pair though
  5. really nice forks, but i think they stopped makin them, I had a set back when I had a stock. Only thing the top nut is made of cheese, but you can use a normal star nut in there. Try Trials tech or Echos,
  6. Nice one! lol I'm watching a few on ebay atthe min, Pike put my max bit at £120 so fingers crossed!! as they are over £400 new
  7. I went down there the other week and I was very impressed with whats on offer, WILL be heading back there soon! =D

  9. I'm looking at building a hard xc freefide bike up. I'll be using most the bits off an old bike. (frame, and all the drive trian) Just need to revamp the wheels and forks a bit. I would like 100mm plus travel, through axle is an option. not too fused aboiut lock out or anything I was looking on CRC and found these.http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=49119 They look rather nice, but the only thing that bugging me is what are Suntour like? a few bikes at work have them, and them seem to be a nice fork. Whats everyones POV on them? And if anyone can recomend some forks under £200 that would be good
  10. When I rode stock, I just ran halfords own 2.1" - 2.5" NEVER had a pinch, I was running dual wall tyre. on the mod think its a Kenda, but got a few pinch flats! on the front just halfords tube again
  11. "well you can pretty much see the battle damage, equals up to a bent pair of cracks, bent pedals, completely demolished rear wheels. oh and a bent steer tube, but hey if you wana go big thats what happens!" Love it

  14. use the split link?! never had any trouble with chains snappin on me. I do replace mine every few months though..
  15. I had a normal stock control, only short. and it was by far the best frame I have ever rode. shame its not for 4 cracks in. but its still ridable... I would love to have the money to build it back up.... one day though!!

  17. I have a weekend off work, so want to get out of cumbria and ride some rocks. WHos up for a ride there? I can pick someone up on the way down if they need a lift. So ye, post if you fancy it!! =D
  18. Make it saturday and ill drive down... bikes a bad of shite like
  19. Personally I like the way grind perform in all weathers, tar is only good in try, Id rather ride in rain than wind though.
  20. I use to use tar with old ZOO pads, as they lasted about 30 seconds with a LIGHT grind. but the pads if found that work with a smooth rim and tar is ANY! makes all pads work, but they all feel the same, (imo) and makes the brake kinda sticky too... each to there own though!
