  1. All of the BB7s I have had died when they got a drop of water on them, the ONLY disk I had that was good in the wet was the oldskool Hope Mini.

    Gaps To Front

    do the gap in an arc (IE don't just gap flat) imagine you're trying to clear an object in the middle that slightly higher than your take off and landing. Keep your weight forward and grab a load of front brake.

    No way as good looking as the Slate, in fact I would almost go as far as saying its one of the ugliest frames I have seen
  4. I am glad people like it! I know I do! Can't wait to have the updated version with horizontal dropouts (it MUST have them lol). I have seen pictures of the planned stickers and I think they look amazing! Think a more subtle 1499 in gray colours. Oh, I don't think it should have disk mounts, it saves weight and looks 100x better! If anyone wants a ride this weekend down south, just ask. PS, I am as every bit as "special" as that picture makes out!
  5. I am another person who has never had a disk work in the wet! Thats one reason I have moved to a front vee!
  6. hmm, I never personally found that compound to have great hold, they have bags of bite and noise, but not hold hence why I am not running it even though I have a small basket full of the pad compound.
  7. you havn't seen anything yet! I'll whip it out next time I see you!
  8. school, man that was a long time ago! I left when I was 14/15 (that's 10 years ago!) Hated every second I was there! I did work experience at Orange Mountain bikes, that was ACE! I got to build up really nice bikes, paint them,watch Steve Wade design them in CAD, got to see the frames getting welded and heat treated and at lunch time we would nip out to the woods behind and ride some DH.

    Forks

    I can't remember if they are in stock or not, but Trialtech forks have some of the longest rake out there so would go someway towards making your bike longer...maybe a tad expensive for you though, but they are well worth it as they are also some of the strongest forks out too.
  10. not cut but I put "other" as my vote as my skin didn't grow when my dick did so my skin doesn't reach over my bell so it kinda looks like I am cut. Can still wank as normal though (oh, and about the rubbing on pants thing, Its just what your used to really, its not a problem if its been like that all you adulthood).
  11. cheers guys These are all from imagination, but obviously some are based upon existing frames in Xc and DH
  12. something that begins with T and ends in tech and is welded
  13. I would deffo recommend the Trialtech forged 20". Its slightly lower than the other Atomz or Try-all oversized stems but you can still use a normal topcap unlike with the Monty 219 or Try-all NUC stem (which are really meant for flat bars anyway).
  14. they are monty 219 bars. They have a oversized 31.8mm clamp (pretty much the industry standard in trials). The bars are fairly tall, so I would recommend a slighty lower stem, something along the lines of the Trialtech forged, Monty 219 stem or the Try-all NUC.
  15. macaroni cheese and tomato sauce! SOOOO NICE!
  16. they worked alright, but once I started pushing the gaps and stuff, they didnt have the instant lock I was after.
  17. because I didn't think it was worth any more than that. I paid £740 for it two years ago and it needed new tyres, sus seals and brake pads when I sold it. Ahh well
  18. I LOVE my front vee, I have already beat my gap to front and up to front records with it despite being off the bike for the past two months. Shame its so loud though
  19. shimano LX gets my vote, thats what I am running now. Slimmer than avid brakes, lighter too and just as stiff. I have an SD7 lever, nokon cable and Joypad material (until I get my plaz pads)
  20. Wish I knew that before I sold my 98 125 txt in used but reasonable condition for £360
  21. the Trialtech is one of the stiffest boosters around! As much as some 4 bolt boosters!
  22. I only realised this ride was on last week, that was a bit short notice to travel for 5 hours, I hope everyone had a good time though.
