  1. uggg, dont get me started on bb rise I have had a hifi, it was the worst frame I have ever owned!!! not reccomended. I have ridden a gu, it rates highly as one of the worst bikes I have ridden. I havnt ridden an adamant, but seriously, high bb AND the shortest chainstays around!! cant be good can it? The pitbulls are nice, unless your talking about the 06 virsion, which is horrid!! now then, the control.....NICE!! 2nd best bike I have had, was good for most things, didnt feel like a pogo stick on the rear wheel, though I still feel the chainstays are too short. Another option is an ashton justice, its the best bike I have ever had, suits me perfectly, nice reach, wheelbase is good for taps, hooks, sidehops without being limiting for other bmxy type stuff. The steep headangle make it lovley on the front wheel, pivots are a dream and ups to front wheel are nice. It might not be for everyone though.
  2. on hopes, its called floating as when the steel gets hot, its able to expand on the rivets. All the ones I have used acted just like a normal rotor, no wobbling at all, but they doo click when cooling down, like a car does, its pretty cool
  3. thats the type I use and theres no movment, was it a hope one you used?
  4. thats the virsion 4 that I modded, worked pretty well, but was dam sharp!!

  6. trend follower However....I LOVE it, looks so clean and neat. nice one boyos
  7. narr, ou dont need a syringe, just take the resevoir cap off the lever, fill up, undo the bleed nipple on the caliper and squeeze the lever, while holding the lever in, do up the bleed nipple and then let go of the lever again...keep doing that untill its bled.
  8. arrrrrrrrr cool vid, its always fun when the mjcycles gang is in town, but more fun when a tartybikes riders joins in I'll try and come out next time, they looked like good rides and I am sure you guys can teach me a few things
  9. pretty dandy!! I wish I could ride with that control, I tend to fall through sections at comps
  10. I am thinking it was more like a 51" hook (no offence joe)
  11. I am using a hope floating rotor and its ace!! You can get them in any size, mine is 180mm, they are lighter than a standard rotor and harder to bend because of the fatter alloy part. Before that I had the vision 4 a2z disk, but I modified it by cutting bits out to make it look like a cutting disk (leeson style) The roter was fine, no complaints, I even took a chunk the size of my fist out of a wall with it on a buggered gap, only scratched the rotor!! but anyway, hope floating rotor gets my vote....UNLESS you have a mono trials?? then it wont fit as the pads are too deep and hit the rivots on the disk. The brake goes wank if you cut the pads to fit too
  12. just wondering if was once mine that all, my old pure has been around. Was the headset a loose fit? and is there a big chunk out of the drive side cs yolk from chain suck?

    Section7

    I really liked section 7, good interviews, good comp coverage and in depth product stuff (pashley etc) I didnt really use the forum, but I loved reading up on comps and stuff.
  14. I would just like to say that biketrials comps arnt like that, the kids are all angels!! I havnt seen any stroppy hissy fits from a yung rider for a while, if ever. I cant say I have noticed too much bad language recently, but when your going around, you only really see a very small group of people that whats actually there, an observer sees every rider, so there may be some going on that I dont see or hear.
  15. where did you get the pure from by the way?
  16. topeak Joe Blow, I have had mine for 4 years now.
  17. ASHTON JUSTICE!!!!!!! seriously good!!!
  18. just cut a couple of slots out of the seat to make a booster fit. I personally dont think they need a booster, I dont run one and my brake is still as stiff as I would ever want it.
  19. its the opposite, the hs11 lever has a bigger piston which reduces the leverage and makes the brake weaker.
  20. sounds mintybobs!!! just make sure you come oop north, I am fed up of all these southerners taking up all the room in dvds
  21. it is a little steep, but like mr sexy says, it is all hand made, a complete one off that took a while to make....plus the fact its sooooo sexy!!!!
  22. yep sorry guys, team issue. The paintjob its done by Rich-Art and is very well done you can see me wearing mine here
