  1. I love those old skool levers :sick: You could try hayes levers? not sure what piston size they have though, or if they take the same dot fluid.
  2. you could buy the correct seals to fit the system, I am pretty sure hope sells mineral oil seals so people can use their levers on shimano brakes so they dont have to use the paddle shifters
  3. yep, putting mineral fluid in a dot system kills the seals.........putting dot in a mineral system killes the seals shame really
  4. lol, never knew people had such grudges against him <_< He's northern, so he's always gonna be a little strange, but if a new frame was put out you wouldnt have to buy it, only people who cant afford leesons and such.
  5. the louise fr is an awesome brake! Really grabby but still had modulation, also sounds like a turkey <_<
  6. thanks every one, all imput is great <_<

    Clubbing

    so thats where my shoe went <_<
  8. awsome!! Mint riding, mint editing, mint locations I liked it :rolleyes: bad point? your on a 20" :S bring back the megamo
  9. your missing the point, I have already met him in person and talked about it. I need as many people on here as possible to help put my point across that making the frame would be a good thing, at the mo there are only 2 24" frames out and the cheapest one is £400! A frame at nearly half that would be very popular I recken.
  10. evening Basicly I am trying to persuade Brant at On-One to consider producing a 24" trials frame. He lives local to me and has connections with the bikeshop I work in, so I see fairly often. I showed him some ideas when he was in once and he seemed *slightly* interested. On-One make some mint xc frames and even a 24" dirt jump frame. I think they all sell for around £225, so a trials frame at the price would be mint. He did say that when he was sponsoring the Trialskings with Planet X they were thinking about making a 24" frame for Dan, but they left the team before it could be looked into further. (or somthing along those lines) so it shows he was interested at one point at least. Basicly I want people to either post here trying to persuade him to make it, or actually send him an email, I recken it would be silly for Brant not to pass on an oppertunity like this. His email can be found on the On-One web site (tell him I told you to lol :rolleyes: ) www.on-one.co.uk I have started a topic on their forum, if people who are interested could back me up it would be great. cya

    Clubbing

    I dont drink :rolleyes: so I have noo need to go clubbing. There arnt any decent clubs near me anyway, and I dont have anyone to go with, aran is on holiday and waddys too young :S I get bored clubbing anyway
  12. my perfect set up is a mavic 321 rim (wide, light(ish) and SUPER strong) and the disk would be a magura marta 180 with shimano xt lever I HATE hope brakes with a passion, actually, I hate most of their parts too. :rolleyes:
  13. I already knew about danny and his deal from talking with ashton at fort bill. thumbs up goes to dan I also know there will be an ashton team for next season, but I dont know whos gonna be in it

    Alex 26" Rims

    onza ronnie kicks alex's butt! The ronnie is the best rim I have ever had for brake power wise, only put one small dent it it too (and I am a harsh bugger!)
  15. I love slow music. If I rode to music (which I dont) I wouldnt want fast music, slow and controled is where its at, riding and music (Y)
  16. nice big flashy moves in elite, ones that look good, but arnt dangerous :) not too long mind
  17. I will be there is wad can give me a lift. I will be running my crappy wide rim though, the grind will wear off in the first section I bet, I miss my ronnie :angry: wayne, if you see mick before the comp, could you check if he has my bag left over from fort bill? if he could bring it along that would be ace :)
  18. I really like chilled out music like badly drawn boy, cold play and radiohead I also really like Blur, supergrass, super furry animals, muse and the flaming lips
  19. nice :) those rims dont last me long at all, I flatspot them for fun, not quite as big as that though
  20. I was rather embarrast when I had to go to the doctors to show him my swolen bollox (from landing on my stem) Then I went to the hospital and had ultra sound scan on them which involves putting lube of your balls and rubbing the scanner across them, mega embarrasing! espcially when he gives you a tissue to "clean my self up" :)
  21. I also got my first car at 21, so they might have given me cheaper rates because I am older?
  22. I was working on a secret frame prototype but didnt have photoshop. no copying my design bike companies (barr orange)
