  1. it could so be.... I like that bike.. never ridden one... but they look like they ride nice...
  2. Should be M4.... a old maggy bolt should work fine probably... Just take it out, and take to micheal douglas's in carlisle and ask for the same thread, but longer bolt...
  3. My tensile comes loose, so i welded it shut... i havnt really had any troubles since!
  4. yeah its a fairly good bike to begin on, but there are better bikes for bigginers... Oh yeah, Hey, welcome to the forum!
  5. Delbety forest is also good Just near me aswell Mosedale tarn is also good, near me... lol caldbec trail is aswell... hehe Now all i need is a freeride bike....
  6. Awesome vid matt, you are improving VERY quickly since i told you to sidehop to the right... pitty you have snapped your mech hanger though, you should try to bodge a little chain tensioner up, with your old mech...
  7. nice idea! But i have a tensile Would very much prefer an eno though lol
  8. Some awesome pics there tom! Yeah, mabie forest is only just up the road from me, and its fairly nice to ride! used to ride my mates norco on it, was really hard to do the north shore, did you not find the other single track areas in mabie? cause there is ALOT with some MASSIVE jumps n doubles...
  9. "if it isnt football, its an ASBo for you" thats what its like these days... You see kids playing football on the streets n stuff, and it goes into someones garden, hits their car, and they arnt too bothered... "cause its a good sport2 haah, yeah right, just cause "david beckham plays it, its awesome" When me and matt were riding carlisle, a skinny copper came along and went, "alright lads" and just walked off lol, he didnt even look old enough to be a police man lol I get alot of people saying im good and stopping to watch me ride, but i also get the occasional person which says, "this is a footpath, not a stunt park" even though, they are walking on the bike track part of the path, and i was only riding along and poped a little (large ) bunny hop up the curb... lol
  10. i would just like too say, i actually passed a car whilst going down this hill lol, so i think i was going a good 35mph... atleast... so maybe that was the problem?
  11. Just a random pic i took with cam last time it showed, doesnt look too bad
  12. my koxx greens were crap... alltogether crap.. well, they werent too bad to start off with, but the reds just pissed all over them for power... intill today
  13. i did.. but it was over 1 year ago now.. almost 2 years ago actually...
  14. They arnt even 1 week old yet... just got them on saturday morning... brand new... + i can set a brake up properly... Im really thinking of quiting, since i have no one to ride with and i dont ride at all very often any more... but all my mates (like 30 of them...) have DH and jump bikes.. which are out ALL the time... but i dont want to quit on the other hand, seeing as im good at trials, and i love the sport... and i have just got my first sponsor!!!
  15. First of all, i have a VERY light but sharp grind... so it isnt exactly harsh enough to rip the pads apart... And they werent tensile pads, they were onza citrus pads... which were just shit all the time... That is true i admit I think the pads are nearly bedded back in now anyways.. i just hate the bedding in period... pisses me off, cause i have to do it EVER time i go riding...
  16. cheers matt, i guess some people just dont know how to be friendly... why come on the forum then? posts are repeated ALL the time on this forum... so why come on if you have seen them before... The thing i was getting at is, why did the pads just rip apart? they didnt "grate" apart, but they "ripped" apart, in little chunks...
  17. huh? i dont understand how you have done this... enlighten me...
  18. i already have a BMX its shit. i hate riding it... Im gonna go give my rim a proper clean, even though it isnt dirty, cause i just washed it t'other day, and havnt even rode it intill today... and i like single track. more that street Hmm, if you read the topic, you will see that my brake was working FINE, and it wasnt a problem at all, intill i pulled it coming down the hill... I guess it just needs bedding into the rim AGAIN, but i cant be f**king arsd doing that! so i think im gonna sell the bike, i cant be arsd with it any more...
  19. lol, i did use my front brake, but i was REAL close to the car.. so had to use back aswell, unless i would have gotten knocked over.. i just took pads off, and had a look at them, they were covered in white dust, so i sanded them down a tiny bit and cleaned my rim... but no... they are still wank.. I feel like selling my trials bike and getting a jump bike.. im VERY tempted... its times like this which makes me wanna do that... even though i have just got my first sponsor yesterday
  20. they ripped apart in little chunks... lol so now my rim is covered in little chunks of rubber.. (well, was intill i washed it all off...) But the water trick didnt work... they are BRAKE PADS, they stop people from movning...
  21. Right, well, i got bloxx reds on saturday, and they were AMAZING PADS!!! this morning (like 20 mins ago) i was out riding by myself, and the pads were ACE, bit very well, were loud as f**k and didnt slip... But then on the way home, i was riding down a massive hill fast, and a car pulled out in front of me, so i jammed back brake on, and the pads flew apart on me! now the brake is f**king wank and doesnt even hold... you can pedal when pulling brake as hard as you like, asif you werent even pulling the brake!! What can i do to solve this? Oh yeah, and when i had a look, the rim was covered in little chunks of pad, so i washed this off with water, and now the rims dry, but the brake is still absolutly wank!!! P.S, sorry for swaring, im just pissed off!
  22. Looks sexy How does it ride? im not too kean on rear disk im affraid, unless its on a mod (monty)
