  1. You mean riding up to an object, then doing a wheelie-hop and landing on back, or two wheels.? If yes then about three weeks, its just getting the height more than anything. Now i'm doing like 35"- 40" walls and ledges. Dave... By the way, Try not to type in text Speak It won't do you any favors
  2. I like to start off on my back wheel. As you start to pull your bars over the wall, ledge, obsticle you want to side hop onto or over whatever, pedal-kick and bring your back wheel with you. Easier done then said! B) Sort of like a pedal kick forward but your doing it sideways instead. (Y) Hope this helps. :D
  3. Or Zona zip £199 Look on www.tartybikes.co.uk
  4. Dunno, Depends what he's used to riding tell him to get a t-pro frame kit! £200 sounds about rite! (Y) Dave...
  5. Thats ok if you have a thin steer tube, if its thick then the blade gets stuck Hack saw and saw guide approved by Mbuk (Y)
  6. I do work in a bike shop, thats how we do it!
  7. You can use either metal cutting/grinding or stone/masonary grinding or cutting. I find (like many others) that the stone cutting disk is best for a nice crisp sharp grind Dave... (Y)
  8. It sure does! :) best one it think stiff and no clicking/creaking, cheep too! :) Dave...
  9. Hey just take a hammer and somthing like the large end of a chisel or somthing like that, knock the star nutt as far down as required. Then trap your forks in a vice and Use A SAW GUIDE to saw the excess off nice and streight. Finally file the end of the forks so theres no sharp bits! Hope this helps Dave... ;)
  10. Yep, Brighouse. :) Just get a decent grind with some koxx browns and away you go, they feel so good in wet wether ;) Dave... ;)

  16. Hi. What do you mean by pissing about, bigger disk = more stopping power? Or am i totally missing the point ? More explanation needed people, thanks for your reply anyway :) Dave...;) Ah your read my mind, thanks for that. And yes I have some echo disk forks and i just orderd my new wheel build today (with a gold xc *bling bling*) cheers mate
  17. I'm after buying a disk but i'm a bit confused, i'm after a avid bb7 as i've heard there pretty good! but whats the difference between a 160mm rotor and a 185mm rotor? Will the bigger rotor fit on my mod or will i need some kind of adaptor? i've never run a disk before so i don't really know what i'm talking about, can someone please shed some light. cheers Guys! :- Dave...
  18. OK they mabe better but not worse, why would magura down grade the piston seals on the 05's :- I'v had no problems whatsoever with my 05's and niether has my mate so... in awnser to your question i don't know what he's talking about?? Dave...
  19. Echo feel so nice to ride, and look great too. When i got my new Echo's i could feel the difference straight away much smother ride and makes your bike easier to throw around Dave... :-
  20. Well there all good... But tarty's sorted, there sound guys to talk to aswell, go Adam and dave! Cheers guys, Rung another order in this morning B) Dave...
  21. I found Long easier to throw about, i just get a bad back when i ride short. :- But i am 6,3" B) Dave... B)
  22. "Whats the difference to the pistions? i cant tell the difference to be honest, Didn't magura claim to have upgraded them some how?" Nothing Different, Their the same! Apart from the lever which feels much nicer.. I think it's good that u run your maguras on their first bleed, I would still be if i hadn't split my hose :- Dave...B)
  23. I got a bleed kit from supercycles, but after using water i wont go back to royal blood B) Dave... :-
  24. Yeh! nice pedals and cheep too, cant go wrong dave... :-
  25. Nothing wrong with the new 05 levers, made of the same stuff and do the same job! Just a different shape. Anyway back to the topic Magura hs33 for rear, with a nice grind and some koxx browns avid juicy 7 for the front (in my view the best trials disk brake available) hope this helps Dave... :-
