    Rims

    sunn double wide, dsrilled with 1" holes
  2. the bolt that fitted my chainring onto my bmx was impirial, so maybe yours isnt rounded but just needs an impirial allen key?
  3. get a hacksaw, cut a slot in the bolt and remove with a screwdriver, that usually works if you have good access to the bolt
  4. only 17 years! I am begining to think the waiting game isnt working, well after 21 years you would have expected somthing............right? :mellow:
  5. When I ride keighley I normally go on the war memorial but I didnt actually know it was a war memorial untill recently, I never really looked at it. It wont stop me riding on it, its pretty nice. this is going to sound worse than it is (probably) but war memorials dont really mean much to me, thinking about how people died is probably the last thing that goes through my mind when I see one. I just dont really care that much. I still try not to bash them, but thats pretty much the same with anything I ride. I expect people to diss my post, but it wont change how I feel. Just because I should feel a cirten way doesnt mean I have to.
  6. my marta with a 160 rotor on the front worked waaaaay better than my 180 hope mono trial, so dont but the martas down too early If I had a mod, I would want to run a disk on the rear, they feel ace, I wouldnt have much concirn about it slipping, as has been said, disks will work a lot better on mods than on stock.
  7. I recken mine weighs around 25lbs, it weighed 23 with super light weight tyres and rims, so my dh setup will add acouple of pounds Rides light though :mellow:

    Energy

    for the past 5 monthish I have had very little energy, even around the house it takes a lot of effert to climb the stairs let alone ride. I like to think I have a healthy diet, home grown veg, not too much jusk food (crisps, chocolate etc) I dont know what causes it, it drives me up the wall
  10. Jack Boston envolope 6
  11. if all goes well, Iolo, Wad and my self will be there, thats if Iolo can find a 128mm bb for his new frame.
  12. I also use them, they are really tough, I have never rolled an ankle with them on and my sticky outy ankle bone never hits the cranks now. I also reccoment looking into some Five Ten impact shoes, they have the same sticky rubber coumpound as intense tyres, so they will grip to your pedals AND rocks when you dab. They do a high ankle virsion. check out big stone for details
  13. I have a hi fi. I think its an amazing frame, the geo and detail are top notch, the rear wheel control is emmense. heres some pics: I fully reccomend getting one
  14. MINT! it has a lot of me :) :D on my hi fi trying to get the gap at the beginning, and the last scene :D On the first gap, check out what foot I take off with, and which I land with :( Nice crash by savage too, nice to see even the world champs have their off moments :lol:
  15. that tap was HUGE!! The object was around my shoulder hight, I remember measuring it like that as I was trying to hook it (unsuccessfully).
  16. I did a few weeks at Orange bikes in Halifax. I was basicly building up frames ready to be sent out to shops. It was ace, you got given a box, and the speck of the bike, then you go into the wearhouse where they have lods of shelves with fancy pimp components. You filled up the box, and built up the frame (applying stickers an all) then I had to box them up and put them in the lorry. at lunch we went out on all the prototype bikes they had (oranze zero was only in prototype stage then) and went out the back and rode them, the dh bikes were well fun. I also went and watched the guy paint the bikes (he went and locked me in the oven at 150 degrees! it was well hot lol Steve Wade (co owner of orange) took me to the wearhouse where they do all the metal work, showed me around the machines and told me how they work and all about the heat treatment. Back at the other building he showed me his office where he designs the frames (showing me some secrete stuff on cad) I really enjoyed my time there, at the end they gave me loads of clothes and stickers. I have been to other places though which I hated, the most I lasted was 3 days, I just couldnt stand it! The main thing I couldnt cope with was the hours, one was 7.45am till 5pm, that was unbearable.

    Wide Rim

    I have bob built up at the mo, but it seems the heat from welding softened the metal, so its no better than koxx, onza & viz rims. I am gonna try it again, but only get it tagged instead of a weld all the way round, that should stop the metal softening.
