  1. I would definatly prefer to have a puncture, reason's being has already been said: when hose bursts it could be painful if you have no spare hose then you need to buy some and wait for it to be delivered also for me i strugle like hell to fit the hose and bleeding the brake then setting it up again. where as a puncture is so much easyer to repair and can be alot less painful than when a hose burst whilst doing a drop or riding rocks anything realy.
  2. I agree, i think they should start bringing the frames out in pearlescent paint, i think it would look the tits with chrome or black. I sprayed a couple of my bmx's in it before, one changed from red to gold with black forks and bars and the other changed to blue, purple, gold, & green with chrome forks and bars. I liked the look of em because no one else had that colour scheme.
  3. Well it was fun, and wet maybe another time some of you's will come again. THIS SATURDAY!!
  4. Clacton rocks these are the rocks at clacton as you know: endless lines for all levels of riders and clacton's also good for street too as you already know.
  5. Boring Fu**ers, me and darren are off to ride now.
  6. cheers for your help i have bled it now, i took the lever apart and cleaned it all & put some wd40 round the plunger and it stoped getting stuck, so i have bled it but i still have the problem i had before i bled it, which is on oneside the pad slowly goes of the rim and not quickly, it's very slow at returning.
  7. cheers, id give it ago if the lever plunger didn't get stuck after one pull. . Thanks anyway i guese i will have to wait until my syringe turns up.
  8. For me it has to be mod all the way, i have ridden 26" and 20" and the mod suites me more
  9. Right for the last 2 hours i have been trying to bleed my rear 04 maggie using this guide Bleeding Maguras in a bucket or a bath. 1. Fill the bucket or the bath full of water. 2. Take the brake off of your bike and put it in the bucket/bath. 3. Undo both bleed bolts, the one on the lever and the one on the slave. (Underwater) 4. Pump the brake and you should see some air coming out of the slave. 5. Do this until no more air comes out. 6. Do up both of the bleed bolts. (Again, underwater) 7. Take the brake out and it should be air free. But when i pull the lever the plunger in the lever gets stuck and doesnt spring back meaning the lever just flops about. i have tried, before i pull the lever cover the bleed hole on the caliper then remove my finger from the bleed hole and let go of lever but it still gets stuck. Any help would be very grately apreciated, im ment to be riding tomorow, and i know there are many of these topics but im in desperate need of help. THANKS and my hands are all rinkly now and freezing. oops i have posted in wrong place can this be moved to members chat, thanks.
  10. Well if you have a medium to harsh grind then i would stay clear of soft compound pads like zoo pads unless you want to be paying out nearly £20 every week, as they lasted 3 days on my harsh grind max and i was riding about 30 mins each day. on my harsh grind i was using koxx browns which griped amazingly and never sliped wet or dry. I now have a light grind and im using rock pads blue and they are holding very well.(but are over rated) BUT if your running a medium to harsh grind then these would probably be the best choice as they are reasonable hard compound but not as hard as koxx browns. I have never had any of my brake pads brake or chip off at all. As for the booster, i brought a gu booster for my gu and it didn't realy feel any differant but it does stop the frame flexing, so it must be helping.
  11. That looks prety good practical for chucking your bike in too, it would look even nicer in black with tinted black windows.
  12. I use adobe photoshop cs2 and basicaly it has already been said that other than the free trial versions there are no free full versions available unless you find one with a keygen.

    Ice Slide

    I'm not having this problem due to having no bike or car but when i had my little aprilia 125 last year i came of twice due to ice on the road . My dad has a quad so today we went for a little blast on it, what a laugh drifting a quad on ice. & atleast you dont fall off.
  16. My attempt at digimoding i have only just started to learn how to do it but here are a few i done so far:
  17. It's a legendary tune, i first heard it on one of the zoo vids and just had to have it.
  18. forks black cause i think silver frames with silver forks look to much i prefer black forks and stem.
  19. no probs, i think you should get the colours you said, it will look even better in real life. all blue.
  20. Here is my poor attempt: is there a topic on here for photoshoping cars???
  21. I recently got the new album by Fall out boys- infinity high. awesome cd and very cool riding music & the last song i downloaded was: Kazzer- pedal to the metal

    Yea i already have some but i take it you have to re-bleed the whole brake with it, and not just add some to it because other wise it would get air in it right?
