    That was pretty good. Actually, that was awesome! Really, really good video.
  2. This trend is scaring me, I ride the paper-thin walled coust v1 frame.. Few dents, one pretty big, but I've got stickers to keep her together should she crack. Unlucky about the Limey!

    Lift your shoulders. Helped me!
  4. Ashtons are medium long, and they are very popular for a reason.. I'd give one a go, they're quite common now, so should be no probs finding someone with a bike you can try... It's easier to be flowier on a shorter bike as there's less length to chuck around, but most of the flow and smoothness comes in the body motions, and often lack of brake usage. Go on a big ride and try many bikes out, it's the easiest way!
  5. It'd take an effort to actually put a King together wrong. The parts won't fit together OK, so out comes the mallet and bye bye American steel. cheers queers, rob xxx monty forever
  6. i twirl drumsticks. would be cool to light one on fire and twirl away.
  7. I swear WAY too much. In real life, on msn, etc. I need to work on it, but it doesn't help that all my friends are farmers!

    Slow Magura

    I've sorted it now, kind of. It feels loads better, not 100% like new but I'm happy anyway! I bled the brake with oil, let it sit for an hour, blew out with pump, bled through 3-4 times with water, then I replaced one of the slaves, which was the real troublemaker. My brake now has a silver lever, one silver slave, and one red slave. Looks horrible but feels much better!
  9. Nah, it's just a hat you wear when graduating... We don't have uniforms here.
  10. When graduating college. Go me.

    Slow Magura

    no memory of hitting the lever.. might have twatted it riding natural or something! I am gonna try an older lever (old and i think leaky Tomac hs33 lever) to see if it helps.. edit: yay for the stupid 2 part tpa. i cant find the other half, damn you magura!
  12. this should be interesting.. i enjoyed accomplish btw!

    Slow Magura

    Hey, My maggie is being really slow. It feels sluggish, and not nearly as snappy and "easy" like other water maguras. The bleed is often OK, I've tried to lube the pistons up the usual way (tpa all way in, press lever, spray lube) but to no help. When I bled it now the lever wouldn't even return properly, that's how sluggish it is! So what can I do about it? Am I able to pull the pistons completely out, to clean the whole brake out that way? Help!
  14. I hear clear evans g1 are nice for reso side. i use some crap noname resonant heads, fairly tight. i use evans g2 coated heads on the batter side, with a piece of moongel (best damping EVER) fairly close to the rim, just to take the worst off. i like a bit of ring in the toms! I suppose you could go all 80's and remove the reso heads from the toms. I ran mine like that for a while, very interesting sounds..
  15. Caisso is like 5 times older than you though.
  16. Excess ring with pinstripes?! They ring as much as when hitting a dead whale!

    Death

    Yeah, I found a pile of old headstones lying behind a church here once. How very upsetting.

    Money!?

    I'm pretty sure citibank offers "no questions" loneshark-style loans. The interest is sky high though, at least it's like that over here.
  19. How could anyone NOT react to rob p's pic?! ITS FROM INSIDE A VAN WITH BARS ON THE WINDOWS. raaaaaaaape!
  20. i lathed my bb tool out in order to fit over that bit of the axle. best off getting a new tool, as said.
  21. loreal party proof gel is crazy. it's kept my hair intact in thunderstorms and shizzle, it's actually hard to wash off hands and probably rapes my hair.. but it's sweet.
  22. Even though it's the only one he's bust.
