  1. Down my LBS, is cost's £30 for 24 hours for a demp bike (XC, DH, Freeride, BMX, Hibrid)
  2. Yeah, thats why hes shit Loves you really dan :kiss: Nice pics
  3. When ever i sign it, the "connection is broken"
  4. Awesome name! haha Ace pictures there dude! keep em coming!
  5. My mate fell off his bike, "gapped" down off a plant pot, to a wall, and totally missed the wall... (when i say gapped, it was actually a 0.5 foot drop to a wall, which was like 1 foot away from the plant pot haha) and he fell backwards and smashed the back of his head off the corner of the wall. Knocked himself clean out, bloody everywhere, and cought it on camera Its sick to watch.
  6. On you dick? I used to have my brake jubilee clipped on, was on for like... 4 months haha, both top and bottom of the mounts aswell, kept coming loose and falling off. Hey, i still improved with it like that
  7. 2 words... Chain Whip You will need to buy a threaded sproket...
  8. drilling them doesnt affect the strength of them fullstop. Buy it, amazing buy at £30
  9. Dont. Put it this way, you have heard of a "few" people that have said the KMC cool chain shaps easy. Thats, what, maybe 20 people out of the millions of people that have bought them and like them? Just get the KMC, iv only snapped mine 5 times (had 4 diffrent ones) just got my new one on, on sunday, and i LOVE them... Get the KMC
  10. it will only f**k your threads on your crank arm if the freewheel is only on the threads by like 2mm. I have a bash on mine,m which takes 4mm of the threads up, been using it for a while now. with no problems at all.
  11. No. Fly along and do a stoppie, then grab the rotor... See how hot it is. Heating it up with fire doesnt do shit to it, unless you get it to like 1000degree's, which i doubt.
  12. Exactly why my koxx browns dissapeared in 1 month Now for my reveiw... Pads: Koxx Green Brake used: 05 maggy, water bleed, normal lever/hosing. time used: 5 weeks Rim used: Echo 2006 19" rim Grind: yes, medium What is your opinion of a working brake: sudden lock, no mudulation, very loud. Pad used opinion: These pads were crap for the first 5 mins, but then they had bedded in, and the brake went AMAZING, was very loud, with lots of lock. gave me alot od confidence in everything. After around 4 days, i got a pinch so had to take rear wheel out to fix it, put wheel back in, that sudden lock and loud squeek went. it was still an OK brake, but wasnt GOOD. Rode with it like this for another 1 week, thinking it would bed in again, but never did... so took wheel out, got new inner tube, reground my rim, took the surface off the top of my pads with angle grinder (made surface shiny) set brake up amazingly, and... WOW, an AMAZING brake... Was fricken awesome... till my chain snapped... then had to move my wheel in drop outs to set new chain up All in all: Pads are amazing, good hold, nice and loud with lots of bite 10/10
  13. Nah, that will be the TPA most likly. Turn the TPA right off, and then take brake off the bike. Get pads off of the maggy, put angle grinder facing upwards on the floor, and just "touch" the angle grinder with the surface of the pad. do this intill the whole surface of the pad is shiny. Now get your rim, and put a nice light grind on it See what happens to your brake then If you have never had/used a grind, i can GUARANTEE you, it will be AMAZING.
  14. Gawd damn, you stole my colour! Meh, i just cant be arsd to take my bike apart to spray it lol. too much hassle Ah well, i have WAY too much time on my hands... might try it?
  15. so when do you wanna buy them 16 zoo! pythons i told you i was selling?
  16. haha, i think i might have done it once, like 4 weeks ago lol It was red hot, and i couldnt stop riggling around, and then when i woke up in 't morning, it had all these cold objects in my bed Lava lamp Lynx can lol I had alsorts, think i got em trying to cool down... Then i bought air con
  17. Werd. Just take everything off the freewheel, so its just the freewheel body, then get some stilsons on the flat edges, with an extension bar on the end, then turn the freewheel off You will be supprised
  18. my mate slept walked, he one time walked out of his room and was peeing down the stairs lol, his mam shouted "what you doing" he said summit like shagging the chickens haha, was funny when his mam told me haha!
  19. Care to reveiw the pads mark? I want some and maybe some clamps But, only if you reveiw them
  20. are you just good on every type of bike I tryed a unicycle and fell off as soon as my foot left the floor lol Ah well. Pics are awesome
  21. Get some good Vee brake pads, like heatsink or alike, and then get someone to grind your rim for you. This will solve it all Its only slipping because the standard pads are a hard compound, and they dont cause enough friction between the smooth dirty rim and the pads, for the brake to stop you suddenly. So if you had better pads, with a much softer grippier compound, then a grind, it will cause ALOT of friction, and be an amazing brake
