my rear wheel control is pretty pants to be honest, I have never been any good on the rear, even on my hi fi. Its things like setting up for sidehops, or trying to stay on a smallish rock, I am just all over the place. I am pretty happy on my front wheel, doing pivots, stoppies and stuff like that.

go on ad, now uni is ending, I want you to look into a new type of rim coating. I know I would want one :-"

because I doubt they would last longer than a day too :-

I smashed up a bench grinding disk (the type to sharpen tools) into powder then super glued it to my rims. It was waay to harsh, went through a set of kool stops in an hour, even started chewing up the plastic backings :blink:

car auctions?

I REALLY REALLY want a little motorbike to mess about on. Ebay seems too exspensive, so I was wondering......are motorbikes sold at car auctions? Can you get dirt cheap bikes at such places? Are there any web sites? (I cant find any) I might consider buying some cheap cars to either mess about in at some local quarries or to sell them on ebay. any help would be welcome

taller people should ride stock :(" lol, sorry, just joking. errrm, I dunno what to think, I dont particually like the frames looks, but I guess some people do, and its another frame to choose, so it cant be a bad thing. Would you really want to go over 1030 on a mod? seems pretty long (but I dont ride mod, so I might be wrong)

I say go 26" but I think thats as likley as me beating akkers at the weekend. (N)" please dont get the pythong, it fell out of the ugly tree and hit every branch on the way down. at least get somthing respectful, oh, sorry, you cant if you get a mod (Y) narr, seriously, I reccomend the echo team.

I have no idea about norco frames, so I cant help you about what rims will fit (N) do you know how far apart your bolts were on your old frame?

I used the double wide in my first Global and my echo pure with no probs, its only 45mm wide, so frames that take koxx's 47mm wide rim will easlily hold it. what frame are you on anyway?

sunn double wide, dsrilled with 1" holes

the bolt that fitted my chainring onto my bmx was impirial, so maybe yours isnt rounded but just needs an impirial allen key?

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

only 17 years! I am begining to think the waiting game isnt working, well after 21 years you would have expected somthing............right? :mellow:

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.

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.

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:

might do, I hate going to the docs though :mellow:

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

if all goes well, Iolo, Wad and my self will be there, thats if Iolo can find a 128mm bb for his new frame.

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

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
