If it is the Chunder SX, i have heard reviews from a few riders that they are not as grippy as a maxxis or rubber queen, but they have said that the chunder is a little more stable than the RQ, although not as stable as a maxxis. I looked into the chunder DH as it has a 40/42A compound, but from what i have been told they are a US tyre only, and they are heavier..... Adam

What happened to the koolstop salmons Ali? how well did they work? Adam

Just saw these on Tribalzine, don't think Vincent will be happy...... Adam

What profile hub is it? If it is one of the bmx one then no, it won't fit, but some of the 25inch ones have a std cassette, so it would fit.... Adam

I run my rock blues on a light sharp grind and they are awsome! TNN will be damn good too! Adam

TNN compound is completely different too heatsink rubber! Its the same as the original plazmatic pads, which were AWSOME! Have you considered Rock blues? they are also realy good pads! Adam

Out of those i would probably have to say TNN, they are very good pads!! Adam

Impressive Kieren! Can't realy tell that you have hardly ridden for a long time! Adam

That realy was f**king appauling!! Take that off youtube now!! Adam

If i am honest in that vid i saw nothing that realy tested the hold of the brake pads, especialy as it looks like you weigh about 8 stone or something! Should have setup one of the pallets on a mega slope and tried to boon up it, thats usualy a good test to see how well a pad holds Adam

The rear rim you have is deffinatly an onza hog, but one of the ones that was made with round holes and not the hog shaped ones, they are exactly the same as koxx/trialtech rims etc except for the fact that they have eyelets, the eyelets do add a little weight, usualy around 30-50g for one rim. If you were to ditch the maxxis tyres front and rear and the heavy duty tubes and changed to say a rubber queen rear with a std tube and a try-all conti mountain king front with a std tube you could loose almost 1kg from the bike!!! (thats assuming the front tyre is also a dual ply, if it is a single you may loose around 600g) The mountain king front tyre will not be as grippy as a try-all tyre, i have ridden a fair few different bikes with these tyres fitted and i have always found my try-all tyre to grip alot better (and its pretty much bald!!) The mountain king would probably be ok for street. I am not sure what sort of weights those DDG hubs are, the front one could deffinatly be changed for something lighter, if you are on a budget the echo TR front disc hub is very good hub! Hope that helps a little, if i think of anything else i will post it up. Adam

Unfortunatly it doesn't look like i am going to be able to make it this year, realy sorry to Sue, Charlie and family! Adam

To Jack/Andrei, what are the differences between the monday and sunday comps? is it just different sections? or are there going to be rule changes too? Thanks Adam

Maybe I should get a set! although i am not sure if they would fit around my legs or not! having quads that measure just shy of 30inchs around doesn't help matters!! If people want to see what i would look like in a set, feel free to order me some Adam

Unfortunatly there is no way of sorting it realy apart from replacing the rim.... Adam

No, i think they are actualy proto try-all tyres, but i havea feeling they may have been made by Kenda due to the tread pattersn looking like the nevegal tyres. Adam

It may be a prototype try-all tyre, but it still says Kenda on the sidewall Adam

Certain bits were yes, otherwise it would be mega long and people would get bored. Glad everyone is enjoying it. Adam

Here is the footage that was taken at the roaches today with Stan Shaw, Kyle Livesey and Myself. Roaches ride, Vimeo! Enjoy Adam

Not fair! Adam

Same as my guess on OTN, 24.65g Adam

I think this was filmed before he was officialy riding for Atomz.... Adam

Still waiting on entry forms, wanna get it filled and sent! Adam
