  1. Brake holds really nicely. Can't be arsed with paint. Doesn't seem to stay on the frame too long, so it just chips and scratches off too easily.
  2. Decided to get a Vee brake as I'm fed up of hydraulic brakes. Spec: Zona Zip Frame. (Silver) Echo Lite forks. Old Zoo Cranks, Adamant bash, Plaz cog. Rear Wheel - Black Profile laced to a 2007 Kris Holm rim. Front Wheel - Black Hope XC laced to a 2006 Echo rim. (Bodged) Echo Team Stem. Older Zoo bars. (Old) Chris King headset. Front Brake - Avid BB7, 165mm Hope Gothic rotor, XTR lever, Odyssey Slic cable. Rear Brake - Avid Ultimate, Plaz CRVs, XTR Lever, Demolition Slic cable, Adapters made by Edd Potts. Pics: Really pleased with the rear brake, and the adapters Edd made for me. Such a solid feel to the lever, and the CRVs bite well even with my shitty, worn grind. Hope you like it.

    Pads: Plazmatic CRV. Time used: Month or so. Rim used: '07 Kris holm. Grind: Pretty crap grind. Ceraminc: No Brake used: Avid Ultimate, Slic cable, XTR Lever What is your opinion of a good working brake: Rear brake: Bites as soon as the pads touch the rim, and holds well. Barely any modulation. Previous pads you have used: Plaz CRMs, Zoo pads, Koxx Blues, Koxx Browns. Review: Worked ok after i fitted them, this was with a worn grind. I'm not to good at grinding rims, but as soon as they touched the fresh grind they were lovely. Slowly started to get a squeak, now they hold and modulate well. Which is good for learning manuels.. Very similar performance as my CRMs. Good pads.
  4. We had one of these in Newquay... with lots of water balloons! Haha.. Had to blow them up with my bleed kit. Do it.
  5. I wasn't comparing him, it was just an example.. Surely it's partially Banksy's decision wether it gets sold or not? Seeing as he's the creator of it...
  6. Keep in mind it's one of his original designs, which started off his graffiti artwork. Imagin how much people would pay for Picasso's first ever painting or whatever... Art is crazy.
  7. I don't care about fancy phones.. Aslong as it can ring people, text, and hold a decent amout of messages then it's alright. I've got a Samsung D600, 'cos it was cheap off eBay...
  8. Went to Chicksands with some mates to get some pictures... All 59 shots are here: http://www.zoto.com/site/#USR.dan6061::PAG...DIR.desc::OFF.0 Took them all on my 350D, kit lens, and my remote flash. Done a bit of cropping, and adjusted the levels in some of them... but that's it for editing. Hope you like them!
  9. Just wander up and down Southbank. We had enough fun there on a college trip.. Oh, and Tate's pretty shit..just a massive crack in the floor..
  10. If those bolts were strong you could learn 'up to peg.' Would be awesome!
  11. Too true. Was playing about on a small drop in town yesterday, and went right on the edge like I would in a drop, then decided to gap to some line..and flew over it! Got some serious spring!
  12. Same with me. It sucks sometimes, I see a hot girl and i'm like 'yeeaahh' then they spark up a fag and i'm like 'aww shit. ' Right let down, I hate girls that smoke.
  13. Ah crap..forgot about college. haha. Don't think the Mini would survive all that anyway... Just Koxx days then!
  14. If I have the money, and if I pass my test on Monday..I might be up for this. Depending on who I can get to come with.
  15. Could just make sure you nail the sidehop first go? I'm the same though, left foot, sidehop to the left..
  16. Taps Gaps and Sidehops. What pretty much every street rider does...
  17. That looks way too nice to be a Diamondback!?
  18. If you've got a disk hub, then just get a front disc. BB7, which means you'd just need a longer cable...
  19. Been having random debates/discussions with some mates on msn for aaages. haha.

    I Am Legend

    True that! I reckon people didn't like it because of the serious-ness, but it suited the film. Gave it a more realistic feel, as you could see how alone he was, and how serious his situation was. The film would've really sucked if he just f**ked about and was immature about it.
  22. What's it got to do with school? Didn't quite catch that bit...
