  1. yes more like that please They were very tough and like pat said it would have been cool if they were like that before the worlds, it was real good practice. If anybody saw me they might have seen me in a bit of a stress, I had some stupid 5s and I find it hard to calm down again. But if all comps are like this then they will make me iron out my stupid mistakes hopfully. Harder comps really do make the better riders I think. Its a shame they didnt include sections 5 on the 2nd lap, it was one of the few sections I actually got though. Well dont to ben, aran, lois and others on being british champions! Thanks to the organisers and mr scriven for the trophies

  6. hahaha, you had to include your vans specs to show off wayne I suck at taps, I think I could maybe do about 45 at the mo, but the best I have done is 52" in preston on my control. My car does 0-60 in 17 secs

  8. might be cos the frames are one of the strongest out there and you can thrash the hell out of them?... or maybe because they ride really nicley and you can thrash it around and have fun?

    Pro 2 Hubs

    the pro 2 t has a shorter freehub body, dishless flange and uses bolts instead of a qr
  12. its all in the head!!!!! tell yourself you can tap and you will!
  13. nice one chris not sure how long it will last with your taps and gaps though
  14. black pads are awesome jt!!! on an annodised rim though
  15. chrome with a grind = no more chrome surly?
  16. cheap compared with downhill or anything motorbikes. (imagine a downhill bike or motorbike for £400!!!)
  17. if your gonna use tar, then you may as well use black pads.... instead of using tar, lighty melt the top layer of pad on a hot flat surface, it makes them tacky like tar, but still works in the wet. or grind your rim and get some heatsinks, iolo pads, plaz etc
  18. noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo *breath* NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
  19. I think I can do about 8.5ft static and 10 ft pedaling

    Bt Raven 7.0

    I feel it would look SOOOOOOO much better if the top tube was straight! Otherwise it all seems good I much prefer this geo and the dropouts look neat
  21. I tried some plaz pads on a steel rotor....they were the grabbiest (and loudest) pads I have used...almost uncontrolable! BUT, get a drop of water on the disk and the brake doesnt work, AT ALL! You can pull the lever as hard as poss, but its as if the brake has been disconnected. The pads dont last long either, and as spongy as brain!! any thoughts on a chrome plated rotor? proper smooth then
  22. the BIG N W is officially rhyl, llundadidno, bangor and lake ogwin, any thurther south and its just wales
  23. going to surry on sat would have been good to have had a burnley ride and then go to interact and watch some bmx
