hi i'm looking at getting a front disc for when i get a new frame. but i'm a bit stuck on what to get. should i get: a Juicy five/seven or a hope trials disc. i saw the juicy seven on a fully built bike in a bike shop and the brake felt beautiful. but i'm not sure wether to get one for trials or not. thanks for your help. Alex

spray a bit of hair spray into the grips, slide them on, take them off again, give the bars a wipe then put the grips back on again, repeat these steps until no movement at all. works fine for me. And to stop them moving up and down your bars use grip stops, you can get them out of grip shifts, and put bar ends at the end off your bars, these have two purposes, one: to protect your bars from walls, and two: to stop the grips from sliding off the bars. this set up is perfect. my grips have never moved at all. Hope this helps and sorry its so long, haha. Alex. P.S good luck in the competition mate.

Hi people. Its about time i got some new cranks because mine have worn down on the bottom bracket so i cant tighten them up. so... What cranks should i get, either: Middle Burns, or Tensiles. Your help would be much appreciated cheers every one alex

hi dave yeah i've got the same frame. I received mine for free from saracen aswel because i snapped my old one. what was your old one. mine was a 05 saracen 2.6 the red one. i will have to agree with you there it does ride lovely. oh and are your brake lugs in the right position because mine are too far up the frame and i have too have the brakes sat at an angle and its hard to stop it rubbing against the tyre. i'm thinking about upgrading to a new Adamant A1 the are beautiful. cheers dave for posting this, i had never seen anyone with this frame. cheers alex.

Hi i can see where you are coming from. My friend is Ash Kennard, he says that he know some people that are testing them, and that is what hes told me. I don't now whether you know him or not. thank you any way. Alex!
-
Thank you a lot that has made me feel much better about them, that it was the prototypes not the real thing. I heard the rumors from my mate that know the people that were testing them. thank you, i'm certainly going to be getting one when they come out. cheers Alex!

I know there has been a lot of topics before on this but i have been hearing some stories about the new hope Pro 2 trials hub. I am wondering wether you would be able to help me or not. I am thinking of getting the new hope pro 2 trials hub when it comes out. Are these rumors true or not; "They skip a lot when you first get them." "They break in the first week or two." By the way, When are they coming out? Thanks everyone!!

Stay at college!!! You could even ride the college at break lol just dont get kicked off!!! lol But anyway its a good idea to stay at college get your qualifications and you don't have to, have a full time job straight away, you could just get a part time job and then work to being a pro if you want, its just stupid dropping out of college. Just wait until your course is over get your qualifications and u can do what ever you want.

been riding for about 10 months now, enjoyed every minuite of it. I started of on a saracen mad 2.6, upgraded most parts; brakes wheels ect. snapped that then i managed to get a saracen team urban of warrenty, then i have just upgraded that slowly to better and stronger parts. Im now looking at the Echo Control long frame, what are your thoughts on that frame.
