Personaly i would stay clear of using any sort of joining link and just join it properly using a chain tool. Adam

When i export a movie file from adobe premier it always seems to have crackling audio, has anybody had similar problems and does anybody know how to solve it? Thanks Adam

Cool little vid that guys, realy enjoyed it! Adam

I am sorry but for f**k sake!! who gives a shit if a freewheel is loud, or has the most pawls/engagements the reason you should be buying a freewheel that has got the best reviews and is likely to last you the longest!! And saying you don't want people to suggest other freewheels, sorry but what the f**k, they will only be trying to offer you good reliable advice which could save you from eating a wall when your precious loud freewheel skips..... God, i am sick and tired of people who are like this...... Adam

Go Stan, Go Stan...... That is all..... Adam

The mod frames are up on tartybikes now and listed at £390 so a good price in my oppinion. Adam

This thread shall be used to post pictures of any new Rockman Products, I will keep it updated as much as possible! Kortz Frame (As ridden by Myself): Introducing our new competition spec 26” frame, weighing in at only 1.55kg. The frame is constructed from high quality triple butted tubes 6066Alu on the top and down tubes to bring the weight down, and the other tubes from 6061Alu for maximum strength. Designed to clear 18:15 gear ratio. CNC 4-Bolt Magura mounts with booster that seats into the frame for a stiffer brake feel. CNC machined chainstay yoke. On this frame there is a simple built-in chain tensioner on the rear CNC drop out... An idea which came from BMX racing which have been in use for about 6 years. We have been working closely with Bigman on this frame and would like to thank him for his inputs and for sorting out the colours for the art work on this frame. Sand blasted, then 3 tone anodized finished green and orange for lightweight.

Same boat as Kyle, sorry guys Adam

Trialtech bars are very nice, reasonably high rise when compared to the echo's etc, but if you want higher rise still you have a choice of the Rockman and Monty bars, like has been said the monty bars can be abit narrow for most people, the rockmans measure in at 28inchs, which is wider than the montys, and they do feel very nice, have had a set on my bike not since before christmas and realy like them! Just throwing another bar in for your consideration. Adam

Looks realy nice matey, glad you like it after the problems you were having deciding between that and the ozonys. Adam

I should be leaving by 9.15ish, so i may be there alittle early...... Tom, not sure if you have my number, but it might be handy if you can not find the quarry: 07970176556 Adam

Sorry Ed, but 22-18 is 1.22:1 so alot harder, Closest that i would go for is 22-19 which is 1.157:1 as 22-20 is 1.1:1 so abit easier...... Adam

Saturday it is then, I have got Rob coming with me, Stan is coming, not sure of anyone else at the moment..... Adam

Saturday is looking like it will be the better day, will see what i can do Kyle, see if i can drag Rob along. Adam

Might be able to do that Adam

Have a look to see what length cranks you have, if you have 175mm i would recomend running 18-15, but if you have 170mm cranks i would go for 18-16 Adam

Happy birthday Danny, woop!! Adam

It was a good ride, shame we got kicked off some of the good spots Punctures sucked a little, but thats what i get for running a thin tude in a thin tyre, got a meaty conti tube in there now!! Adam

I shall Also be leaving shortly, see you guys there Adam

It is ment to be drying up, so yes..... Adam
