  1. So you can like bench press 200kg with 1 finger, 2 words coming to mind 1 being bull and the other s**t and you should really stop hanging round with 7yr olds!
  2. A second hand Vinco? V. V. long
  3. The finger next to your thumb on your right or left hand (Y)
  4. BTW its always the person on number 9!

    Maguras

    Wouldn't you just pick up a 5mm allen and move the pads further away as a tempory bodge till you got home???
  6. I don't really have much exp. with mod's but how about a zoo stem with riser bars? i know its not a new frame but a mod is still a mod and so will be short. if you angle the riser bars away from you should give you more room... hope i helped :closedeyes:
  7. If money is NO issue then you get a chris king! If you want value for money compleatly (sp?) different thing! personally £250 or so and you only need fifty quid to buy my bike off of me! Thats got titanium hope hub drilled onza ronnie, magie's, so if you look at it in oerspective it is a lot...... but very very reliable
  8. My friend found the saracen MAD for about £259ish then just get some decent V brakes id advise but you sound like you want to put magura's on it! lol

    Hub Problems

    Locktite and a 6 foot rod can solve loose cranks as well :P
  10. Yea. Will this be the same on my saracen? i really like the red but i wanted to replace the saracen with Simpson on 1 side or something is this really possible without stripping?
  11. Yea! I did that with my 1piece twos but could never seem to get them straight they were either / way or \ way lol it rode like a crooked duck
  12. I think longer bikes are more sturdy because you sit higher up on them and so suit natural more where things may be loose or non regular with a knarly edge, a shorter bike suits more street becuase you can throw them about more and will manouver more. This is just a genrall thing though.
  13. Just to make it clear it isn't what i would call a "local" bike shop they specially sell £6k road bikes. So i guess that they would have the tool. But i think your argument is more with Ian saying he can do everything and that he can do everything, which MAY be true, but don't post on Rick's behalf, all me and him want is to get his hub fixed so we can ride the trading estate and take a trip to london as soon as possible.
  14. Water has a Viscosity of 1 and i think I'm using clutch oil for Bently's which is about 6 bit spungy but nice and sharp so prob change it soon
  15. The white spirit leaves behind a white film. This gets on your pads and will make it all slippery as sh**e. Not good idea, i don't like tar, gets too messy good when your brakes don't work and your in the middle of london or something for the added bite.
  16. I don't know about the hogg but the ronnie takes 15 harsh grinds :'(
  17. Urm my response was quite rubbish but no-one else seems to know. I'm running a standard marura booster, but had to saw the extra nut holes off so that it didnt rub on my tire. Its very close to my saddle though when its all the way down.
  18. People at my local park have chosen num-chucks now "apparently" a punch or a stabb no longer does it for them!
  19. Well actually my Mum told me this other day! "You are allowed to ride on the pavement if you feel that you are at danger by riding in the road due to, to busy roads," its a bylaw or something or it may be my mother speaking shi*e
  20. I'm using a split link right now, my boss put it on my bike and he's been doing trials for years and doe's demo's and stuff so I just accepted it and it was fine!
  21. Dude! If he can do that to your face in one punch think what he'd be like in a fight!
  22. ok im not a engineer but the son of one! however the exhaust will just improve your air intake, the air intake will not significantly improve your top speed. However it will improve your 0 - 30mph or 35 if you want to break the thing. Put it this way...... a 50cc moped is a 50cc, don't bother modding it up, it will only end up making it illegal as a big bore kit will only increase your cc which makes it illegal, which also voids your insurance. Just live with it for a year and get a 125.... sorted!

    Bent Link

    snap your mech hanger? i dont get it. if your running a mech on single speed you should have no worrys just removing the link
  24. Yea had a 6,5" friend on a 20" and a 5.11" on a 20 inch vinco its all about how explosive you are in using your power and being able to use it efficiently with good technique.
  25. yea what he just said. No i know people get stressed and so do i sometimes, just remember we all ride as a release from day to day life and a time to hang with all of our mates. if your getting angry and upset then maybe you dont feel like you want to ride anymore, if you want to do it stick at it and ride it through
