When you come out of the station head towards the road and you will see some walls outside a postoffice and a resturant, meet you there Adam

Um, yeh should be there around then, if not a little after, i may have to build my front wheel tomorow morning as some of the stuff doesn't seem to have turned up yet...... Adam

Count me out guys, forgot that I was already planning on going to Back Cowm on the saturday...... Next time Adam

I think the easiest place for people too meet would be the station as it is fairly well sign posted on the ring road, Wally is coming to mine then we are gunna park at the station £6 all day but it is nice and quite and secure there Adam

The snail cams have been recessed so that they sit over the ends of the CK axle and drilled to 12mm to allow the fun bolt to fit, meaning that when put into the frame (135mm spacing) it does not splay it out to much Adam

Glad you guys like it Just been out for a ride and the new forks feel awsome, realy suit the bike, with the control forks i was running the wheelbase was around 1115mm and it was just too long, the koxx forks have brought it back down to about 1098 ish (as koxx quote) and it realy feels better, also the 35mm rake makes the head angle feel steeper making moves to front alot nicer A vid should be along in not to long.... Adam

Here are some new pics of my bike as it is now: Current Spec: Koxx Giacomo promodel Koxx +30mm 35mm rake forks (Cracked my Atomz) TMS 25 x 135mm stem stripped silver (may change to something a little lower) Monty Ti risers extended to 29.5 inchs (Waiting for Trialtech bars) Front hope xc on DX32 with square holes and drilled sidewalls, C4 latex innertube and minion 2.35 SP tyre Rear CK classic on koxx rim, std innertube, minion 2.5 DP tyre, trialtech carbon fibre spacers and 15t gusset sprocket Try-all cranks, trialtech bash and trialtech 18t sprocket. KMC kool chain Rear magura with echo 08 lever blade, CNC coust pads and drilled echo cnc 4 bolt clamps. Front 190mm hope mono trials with carbon fibre lever blade Cane Creek S3 headset Truvativ gigapipe DH 128mm bottom bracket Echo magnesium pedals Dunno the current weight, i would guess at around 10 - 10.2Kg Soon to have some Ti and alu bolts hopefully and maybe a few other bits and bobs..... Adam

I should be out Adam

I will see what i am doing Adam

If i were you i would go to a bike shop and actualy try on a few helmets before you buy one, make sure you have one that fits well then either buy it there or take note of the size etc and go and buy it online, it is important to have a helmet that fits correctly! Adam

I have been realy impressed with mine Luke, being magnesium i was expecting to rip pins out as i have done before on other pedals but i have only had one pin get ripped out of these and i hit them quite alot, always look down and expect to see a few pins missing but they are usualy still there! I love mine. Adam

Not working for me.... Adam

Adam Phillips (Bigman) I have been to the ride every year (inc the funeral) and it has always been such a good day, but i can understand why Sue and Charlie might not want to hold it, it requires alot of work to sort it out, but as i have said, if it is held i will deffinatly be there! Adam

Realy like the look of that dude, hope it rides well! Adam

I should be there still, weather may be a little damp though Adam

Sorry, but that is deffinatly an RB disc lever on your magura (get a close up picture), therefore should not be run on a magura, the cylinders on the rim brake version were just a round cylinder yet that has a reservior! Adam

Um, dunno if it is just me but it looks like you have got the RB disc brake lever on the rear magura? Adam

I shall see what i am doing Adam

Where the f**k are your Helmets! Seriously! Adam

Not this again! Adam

Some awsome pic there dude, It was a damn good day! Adam

Haha thats what you call it? You took AGES to get round! Adam
