  1. any more details about the frame? like whos making them? where are they from? or is it straight out of the pulo catalogue? also with the bb rise does it make the bike feel shorter or is it long? im wanting a longer bike with bb rise and this looks nice but the 1090 thing makes me think it will be too big or does it ride like a short bike
  2. just do the tpa bodge, you wont be able to use the cnc lever blade with the 05 lever
  3. damn the tart got there before me! yeah hawzie might aswell be sponsored by koxx/try-all seeing as thats all hes riding
  4. long? ive had one since november and my riding has improved from it, if your smaller than most and cant ride 1065+ bikes then this bike will suit you well, it rides similar to a mod, only faults are horizontal dropouts at first i thought it was a good idea but now its a pain in the arse, the seat tube could do with being smaller and the toptube length a little longer, i surpose that just me though anyway its a really nice frame and for the money its worth it, if you want a solid frame to ride everything on then itll do the job nicely :lol:
  5. sexy mike, when are you going to go there? me and a couple of mates are thinking about going as it looks ace would be cool to hook up with a few people and go
  6. right ive been running koxx bloxx for about 2 yrs and theyre starting to go naff, ive got a comp coming up and i want to get new pads before it i wanting a really grabby and holding brake (no modulation) i run a grind at all times i was thinking about the zoo pads but how long will they last on a grind (are we talking days?) give me your opinions guys
  7. all you should need is junk- sewer pipes, old cable reels, logs, rocks etc, most of them things will be cheap and some free so all the more reason for the council to say yes :S
  8. i got my bucky lasek helmet from two-10 mail order company their ads are in ride mag, its not very safe though you can make the sides touch! lol
  9. captain retard????! i think youll find that mans a true ledge and has done loads for trials,hes got most rider (along with ashton) into riding, he deserves a decent sponsorship even if just to promote the sport
  10. a reveiw would be nice mate? i take it that they arenot all too great if you are selling them
  11. here has anyone tried this tyre? the tread looks almost like a mod tyre (square blocky tread) it comes in all the usual compounds but on the chainreaction site the middle of the tyre looks almost semi slick and on the maxxis site it looks like a normal tyre so im not sure?
  12. muc off is mad corrosive, i think it actually says on the bottle wash off after 30 secs or something as it eats through anything
  13. soon itll be new tyre time, and after 2yrs of running maxxis im thinking about getting a set of the koxx tyres, i know that the grips amazing as i had them on my mod but i just wanted to know if anyone knows the weight of the stock tyres and also whats the puncture resistance like? cheers!
  14. i didnt say that all the comments have to be positve, but if the guy wants to do drops let him do drops theres no need to be rude about it, im sure if it was cls or tra doing a big drop everyone would piss theirselves over it but just because its someone else theyre crap
  15. hmm merlin rider why should the proper vid be good im sure hes not out just to please you, and so what if he like doing big drops isnt that the whole point why people ride, to ride the thing that they want to!? its not like hes charging you to watch hes vid is it, he doesnt have a duty to please people. hes merely posting a video expressing hes riding and a sport that (we all?) enjoy, not everyone rides the same things as everyone else you know
  16. as the title says wheres the cheapest place i can get a road mech? cheaper the better sora or lower? allterain cycles seemed cheap until it was £4 for postage! also the same with cassettes please cheers!
  17. im running an xtr carbon booster and the cnc magura 1 on my revell but ive got vee mounts on mine so i dunno if the 4 bolt will be wider or not
  18. urban legend, do you find that when you dont make up's to bk wheel that the bashguard deflects things onto your downtube more? seeing as the bash is smaller than that of the middleburns? cheers!
  19. i dont always go to bash but if i fail an up on if somthings to big for me ill use it, i just wanted to know if itll bend straight away or if itll take a beating
  20. im thinking about getting tensile cranks after 3yrs of riding middleburns, but before i set my mind on them i want to know a few things, im thinking about getting the uci 1's and running an echo 18t fixed cog will this work? also with the uci bashguards how much abuse can they take? also i heard that some people had problems with the cranks eating their shoes from the way the cranks are designed does this happen? cheers!

    New Hub

    all the info is on www.tartybikes.co.uk i want one now though i dont want to wait lol damn you man youre too quick!
  22. i find that if you take off a little later so youre closer to the wall helps, but it still awkward to do, just practise different things as with most things what works for some doesnt work for others
  23. zoo pads seemed to work well on a smooth rim when i tried someones bike, make a loud sqeak though but some people like that
  24. woah really thats probably lighter than most vee set ups, even with a disc hub its about 30g more, but youd get a brake that actually works, hmm very tempted (if only i had money) :">
  25. does anyone know the weight of it? including lever and hose?
