Gandalf the Yellow

i can see where the thread is leading. red pads for a harsher grind (=more noise) coust pads for medium/light grinds? sounds like i may be getting the coust..i just need to be convinced more by the vote. steve

i'll have some too stu if you ordering ahah. steve

will be on magura, does the snowy come in cnc backing as well? not too bothered about noise but i loved the sound of my crms. so verdict so far is reds are better than the coust pads, and snowy are quieter and work better with light/no grind? steve

i've been using plaz crms and they have been great to me, just thought i'd try something different, and cnc backing to see if there is any difference on the lever will be used on a medium/light grind (was perfect for the crms) on a fresh rim. which one is going to be better?? cheers steve EDIT: poll now! oh and the rim is going to be a tryall if that makes much difference...

sorry don't like the forks, but rest of the bike looks tidy. blue bars? steve

bessell good effort for that hook. looked like a good ride. steve

well i might still swap my burns for your tensiles if you want, since i got new tryalls but probably keep a spare crank for the 135mm set up steve

bit off topic, but did you find any problems with the DOB? or just find the zhi a better ride? asking as i have a zhi z2 as well as a dob 08' being sent to me in about a weeks time. but on topic that is a really sweet bike, i can't wait till mine turns up! steve

nice one grant. sweet spec consider its all your spare parts.. you've decided to keep it then? steve

did you have any problems with the pr? if not why not get another 1...they're cheaper than czar and echo! steve

that is well nice i really like the colour too... i think its just missing a rear white rim then its an absolute beaut. steve

that is seriously nice....i thought koxx was actually going to stop bringing out new frames. turns out they just take bloody ages. steve

already seen it mate....its alright though old news steve

na its the 26 mate and haven't got it just yet, will be with me in a week or 2. need to email or ring them, just make sure you're ringing them at the right time its 7 or 8 hours time difference. and i got connections so i just bought it from the shop. anymore people have ideas?? steve

thats where i got it from cheers though. anyway. you really think a washer on either side will work? steve

right, i have a DOB 08 with 116mm dropout, and i want to run a monty hub on it (white is damn pimping)-(i believe its 106mm for monty frames) on trials-uk.co.uk dan says its also compatible with 110mm, but the question is will it work with the DOB frame with snail cams?? sorry for being a retard, but help would be nice steve EDIT: got another question really. i have a SKF bb and its pretty much brand new, they're lush and don't really want to get another bb for the DOB, i've got tryall isis cranks and symmetrik bashring planning to go on the new bike, and with the monty hub i will need to run freewheel. what is the best way to do this? obviously getting an ENO, but it may not work with the SKF as a ffw right? does it mean i can run the FW on the back and have a tiny fixed cog on the cranks instead? cheers

free coaster wooo thats cool, they're so weird to ride and have like no engagement, guess its a street bike looks great andy, why are you using a mono trial on the back? steve

sweet pic, good effort from bessell as well. steve

freaking sweet grant. weather looks amazing on the other side of the world! nice comp set up as well....is that all 'elite' route? oh yes he came 2nd in elite steve

that's a bit nice tom. love how you routed your hosing. top job look forward to riding soon. steve

i believe the Xen and E2 are both very similar weight. if you want an even lighter helmet have a look at specialized Decibel or their new S-works 2D. steve

that is sweeeet steve keeping it real see you on sunday mate steve

nope sorry nathan im going to poole. i hope most other peeps are still turning up? steve

rambo. LOL ahhh i want to see that badass film. anyway thanks for the comments so far guys. and SLB, be sure to throw some vids of chris on here when you get some footage. would be nice to see how he's enjoying bumming around the other side of the world and you aussie boys ride. steve

im liking: colour, saddle, 22T set up. im disliking: nothing really. ooooooooooo are those rebas?? steve
