Altura and Royal, both tough as nails.

BETD will sort you out.

mine was like that when I bought a set s/h, turned out that someone had just turned the adjuster too far at one of the extremes and it had jammed, gentle persuasion got it working fine again. Get yourself a pair of softfaced pliers from cromwell, makes the job a lot easier.

AK, race face atlas have the axle attached to the LH arm and bolt on the drive side.

I would say that 2.2 maxxis wetscreams have ultimate mud grip.

+1 booked for the Ae one too.

My orange one reminds me of dyno-rod! it is very orange with a slight metallic effect.

mini dh[/url]

mark_b I take it you didn't do the mini dh event? average time down was about 1.18 and bar about 10 hardtails the other 250 were 'proper' DH bikes. I admit there was only very small rocky sections but they was some decent speed, watch one of the video's

definitley not but they'd both be having fun, and thats all that matters!

Summer season not single speed (those are real freaks!), yes it's a 20" and I'm 6'3". The course had some fairly rooty sections and braking bumps but I was pleasantly surprised with capability of the bike with Pikes on. I was definitley getting some strange looks from the 'DH' crowd. Has to be said I am looking at buying a 224 evo…..

Yes it's a 456 SS actually! took 15th in masters at FoD at the weekend! lost of fun spanking Glories and 224's.

I didn't realise it could be so versatile!

fried egg butty
Vodka and tonic
shaun of the dead, now sexcetera

are you SS freeks off to the mini DH then?

a ban for that?? are you taking the pi$$

a mate has one of those, v light and v bendy!

if it's a normal mojo then it had alloy cups glued into the frame for a integrated headset, nothing to face. If it's an SL the bearings go straight into the frame. Don't worry about the BB just fit it.

the 4X track at Rushcliffe country park is good for a laugh.

scaredyp, she says you weren't that good!

some folk bang on about 'glazing' pads, this can happen on cars with plain faced discs if overheated. Bikes have discs with holes/grooves etc which prevent pads from glazing (and to allow gasses to expand). Just fit sintered pads and forget (organic wear quicker).

They don't it's a right lot of BS, fit and go ride, they will bed in as you use them.

I'd much rather have snow and ice than mud!

look good, I like white rims but the missus says they are chav! I'm after some white flows on red hubs mmmmm!

neither did I, meaning it was just as shitty and muddy as 'natural' trails!

didn't think it was owt special, I went when it was very wet.

bugger! my mate got some white ones which I told him about for £330 a few months ago, can't remember where from tho' sorry!

revs £299

easy innit!

seatpost 30.9

seatclamp/fr mech 34.9

Kit car, mine cost about £4500 to build, ran it for 2 yrs and then sold for £5k and it was brilliant fun (although not so good for bikes)

at the moment the sister-in-laws GT palomar coz it's all I've got

laguna….I'd torch it if it was mine too!

tom, Laguna?

My panda 100hp is mint in the snow (and lots of handbrake!),
saw a monaro VXR parked up on my ride today, best place for it!

Plenty of snow in n.notts, and yes that is an ancient rigid GT Palomar…good in the snow tho'

babelfish?

Yup, I was there on my honeynoon 12 yrs ago (yikes!), it wasn't as bad as in the pics but the trees were covered and benches near the edges. Mainly caused by the abrupt vertical banks of the lake making the waves shoot up in the air, making a fine mist which freezes easily, looked really funky! will have to find a pic I took.

not fake, I have seen it first hand on the edges of lake Geneva!

Just buy a Ford Galaxy Tdi take the back seats out and you can get 4 bikes and people inside. 45-50mpg about 2k for a facelifted one now, job done.

watched my copy of blade runner directors cut last night, might watch withnail tonight! My other bestest are 5th element, Ronin, and Bullit.

I think that is the one above with the hexagonal top shaft. if so Superstar.
