tempted by 16-14 17-15 and at the moment I am running 18-16 but I may try a 15 on the back and see how it feels (used to in the past!)

yeah, used a pro 2 hub for yonks, loved it but it is a tad heavy. Not touching a try-all freewheel, ENOs are faaaaaar better

I dont want to turn it down to be a bash guard, I dont think the freewheel would last long then. I just thought it would make the outer shell stronger then only having the one chainring.

been washing up actually, my hands are like prunes now! must buy some washing up gloves!!

hmm, it is a risky place to be bodging, people will be trying to get over 100 engagment points next!! , I guess I'll stick to 18 teeths.

thought about 24"? seems like it fills all your needs. Of course I reccomed an Inspired Fourplay, I have ridden a few 24" bikes and its by far the nicest. Otherwise I would seriously consider a base, they are sooo underated.

seeing as I am on a friends computer and dont have msn I cant ask my smart msn buddies this question, so I'll put it to the masses (and risk embarasment ) I have a White Industries ENO trials freewheel on my bike. I fancy trying a 16 or 17 tooth cog on the front though to get a preffered gear (and a tad more clearence). I have seen you can get ENO freewheels with two cogs, either 16-18 or 17-19. my question is this....... Would those standard ENO freewheels outers be compatable with a trials one (my understanding is they are the same minus some strengening). If it does fit, my plan is to pop the the two cog outer shell on a lathe and turn down the bigger cog into a stump, I feel having the extra ring of the other cog should strengthen the outer shell quite a lot. Any thoughts? Obviously I want to be sure it would work before I spend my cash on it. badgers Al

wont go in the other way

awesome, looks lush! cant wait to have a go!

I think I'll be there in the afternoon just to say hi

whole bb goes in the drive side, the loose cup goes in the non drive. Grease the threads and pop the non drive in a few turns then screw in the drive side all the way and tighten HARRD (note: the drive side is opposite thread!!) Once thats in, tighten the non drive side HARRD! Jobs done.

done BTW, there is a pub at the bottom of the acess road to the quarry

work starts in december

nice to hear everyone is interested should hopfully have a few comps up there once its done too PS. 15 mins away...I win

Dont think a skate park would be so pratical, this quarry is a little exposed, the park would need to be indoors and we dont have the funds for that as well as everything else. People camp there at the moment, I am not sure if the council agree with people doing that or not, but hopfully (if I have my way) camping will be allowed at the quarry when its all done.

got those on my computer (only two were done) when I have the internet connected next door I'll post them up. Ash, I am pretty sure camping will be allowed, if not at the quarry then very locally. we are still open to suggestions on what people would like to have there, better to know before building than after!

Theres still going to be the 32 milesish of xc riding + dh type stuff, I am sure there will be jumps on the trails but I dont think there's a specific dirt jump area.

ah, fair play, good job!

update: I believe the funds for the quarry are pretty healthy (waiting on a confirmation on exactly how much) and work will start in december and finnish on the 31st of march! I'll keep updating as I hear things.

I cant tell the difference, what have you shopped? REALLY nice pic though! stands out to me.

they arnt super light though, but he has had them for all the amount of time I have known him!

I think they are 420mm long, they are not the strongest forks ever, but the vee ones I remember being stronger than the 4 bolt ones beacue they dont have quite the stress riser from the weld around the 4 bolt mounts. They are also heavyish (1000g ish).

I enjoyed viewing that video, ta

should be an improvment over the mbk looks light...any idea on total weight? Not a fan of the front maggie, especially on the rear of the forks! Waddys is gash And I hate the colour orange!!
