  1. well, my bolts in my vee lasted 5 months or so, thats until I took them out just to ease my mind.
  2. I built those wheels, I thought it was a little odd that you wanted a rear silver rim and front blue, but it makes sence now. Bike looks really cool, I love old school builds!
  3. I did for quite a long time, but I now use steel just to make sure (I would use ti though if I had bolts long enough)
  4. it wasn't a switch between less power and over the bars power, but when your on the balance point on the front wheel just needing a tad more power, it was harder to feather. Normally you would squeeze your finger in a progressive manner, with the servo wave, I had to pull the brake in an almost linear way.....most annoying.
  5. yep, was me. Was nice of them to acknowledge me in the magazine....Oh wait
  6. that would be me getting my revenge on Stan with a pen when his back is turned
  7. your being weird, stop being weird!
  8. isn't that still the same place you get it? (not having a dig...I'll shut up now)

  10. cheers for t' pics Ads! Lol at the gurns! Do you have the pics of the wallride carve from below and the tyre tap from the flat bank?
  11. looking good! nice riding, nice rocks and nice SUNSHINE!!
  12. whats Zunes? and yes, they did call me Danny (seems to be a common mistake these days, some kids thought I was him at the skatepark yesterday too!)
  13. Youtube Video ->Original Video I especially love the piano by Chopin at the end
  14. Stay with 20" otherwise you'll be in the same category as me in comps and I will be kicked off the podium
  15. Hi Folks Just found this footage on youtube of a demo I with the guys from 3Run (the best Parkour guys in the UK) did for Tech21 last year. We had to promote the companies products showing that they were up to the demands of extreme use. The Parkour guys had I phones using Tech21 cases (you can see them throwing the phones against the wall) and I was wearing a laptop bag. the vid is nothing special, we worked out a simple routine that was to impress journalists rather than other cyclists (plus it wasn't my bike either). I thought some people may find it interesting though. There is a guest appearence of the one and only Mr Kenny too! Youtube Video ->Original Video another better vid Youtube Video -> ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350">
  16. you would have to be mad to put maggies on your bike when you have vee posts! If you get a good quality vee brake (anything by avid or shimano) and some good cable (bmx slic ones are pretty good) and some good pads (TNN) then your brake will be powerful, light, easy to pull, easy to maintain and low profile.
  17. I am all for this to go ahead, but if your wanting "some rocks" your already spoilt for choice!
  18. yeah, it does seem heavy considering I have sl rims, ti bb and pedal axles, but I do use a 200mm front disk, heavy rear tyre and a vee with all booster and adaptors, plus my mostly trialtech kit is light, but not super light (cranks, forks etc)
  19. I want a light bike, but I am deffo function first. So by the time I have added good tyres, a rear vee, good forks ect, it comes to over 10kg
  20. yeah, I extended my steerer, only by 10mm or so. The only problem was that the extra bit I put on didn't go on exactly right, it was slightly offset (like the drillings were slightly different in each steerer) but a file quickly solved that.
