  1. Keep in mind that over-tightening threads can damage them. Too much torque can cause the threads to stretch slightly, so they'll just keep coming loose.
  2. Would be easier/best to give them a ring and ask them directly.
  3. That was awesome! I gave brakeless a go a while back, but was no where near the same level as you. Some of that stuff I'd struggle to do with brakes, let alone without them!
  4. I'll probably head down on the Sunday, was an awesome ride last year! It's bang on my payday too, so I'll have fuel
  5. I remember reading some advice along the lines of 'lean over the front hub'. I keep that in mind whenever I do front hops, and it seem to work! Keep the back end up by kicking your feet slightly with each hop. You'll get the hang of it!
  6. Changing to ISIS is your best bet. More costly, as it means getting a new BB as well as new cranks, but it's so much nicer!
  7. Can't see why not, as they're still aluminium, aren't they? Autosol is a good polish to use.
  8. Looking good! Do you still have the collection of blue bottles? Sure it was you...
  9. Stop trying to be a master of trials so quickly. Just go out and have a laugh, and just chill with your mates!
  10. Still on the same rims. The front wheelbuild is a bodge anyway to be honest, 32h rim on 28h hub! Works though. I like the forks! Much better than the Onza Lite Guys I had on after my Echo's snapped. Cheers for the comments! Colour is Rover Tara Green.
  11. Yeah, it was. Only because I was saving up for my brakes, and wanted to have a play on it!
  12. The paint on my frame was getting tatty, and was showing all the old blue paint underneath! So I stripped all the paint off to raw, and did it properly. Spec: Frame: Neon Conquer. Forks: Monty Kamel. Stem: Monty Kamel. Bars: TrialTech. Brakes: 160mm Hope Mono Trial Tech's. Front wheel: Onza sealed disc hub on DOB magnesium rim, slick Maxxis Creepy Crawler. Rear wheel: Rockman BUB disc hub on DOB magnesium rim, Monty Eagle Claw. Cranks: Viz. Freewheel: Tensile 60click. Weight: 8.82kg. Will be after a lighter frame at some point, but I like how this rides for now!
  13. Tell me about it! They're huge! - Onza Lite Guys. My mate had them lying around in his shed, and I had to put them on to keep my bike going after my Echo forks snapped. Will be replaced soon, don't worry!
  14. For those that might care, I've sorted out a better quality video.
  15. Ahh but that wasn't recorded on my new camera! My computer is taking so long to do anything tonight!
  16. Aha, cheers! I plan on doing just that. Just figured out I had the settings wrong on my video converter! - Set at 240p, instead of 720p! So I'm re-converting them, and will re-edit a clearer version.
  17. Just bought a new camera, so I thought I'd stop at a spot on my way home, and film some riding. Quickly edited in an old version of Windows Move Maker, as it's all my computer can handle! EDIT: Better quality video upload. - Still new to all this video stuff...
  18. I just got myself a Flip Vido MinoHD. £100 at Comet. It's pretty good! 8GB (2hrs video) hard drive, plugs straight into USB. Pretty good quality too.
  19. 'Back to top' button is now going to the homepage?
  20. Roll, turn the bars as you endo, twist your hips as you kick the back end up/round.
  21. They can build up and spec you want though, frame, forks, the lot! Some of them are complete builds from the manufacturers, where as others will be example builds that they put together.
  22. I heard it was a real eye opener... ...sorry.
  23. You could get a 4 bolt booster bolted straight onto the mounts with some short M5 bolts. Would be proper stiff then!
