Got some Magura Laurins (actually for sale if your interested)….. had no problems with them at all, super plush and smooth. Take a while to set up right but once dialled in they are better than my Pikes…… Double arch design makes for a stiff lower half, not far off bolt thru.

I know it's all personal preference when it comes to forks. I don't use Fox due to the wear they seem to endure if you don't maintain them every 5 minutes. I'd stick to Magura and Rockshox…….

Read the reviews that are floating around the net, Magura forks are very highly rated.

Welding it would be fine but you may need to get a gusset plate installed to give added strength…..

Little bastards……. I'm in Lincoln, I'll keep em peeled mate, Pretty unique bike up these parts…….. :evil:

If you kicked one of my pups in the teeth you'd be losing a few of your own……

Yeh like this fella…. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300422454091&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Only of any use if you have a CK headset I guess :-)

Ebay?

Chris king to a +5mm crown race……….

What only 2 bikes?

8O

It's a bit of a work in progress at the mo but well worth a good burn around, lots of nice climbs and drops, rocky bits, a good tight singletrack wooded section…….it's a pretty big space.

We've got plans to build a rock garden, add berms/jumps etc over the summer….. :wink:

West system…….. marine grade epoxy. They stick boats together with the stuff (not 2 boats 'together'….)

Maybe the Quarry…….. I'm off up there in a minute. no real need for all that kit though unless your rubbish and stack it a lot :?

There are a lot of wierdy's in Lincoln………..

That would make me find any CCTV footage in the area and spend more time trying to get them dealt with by the law

Got better things to do with my time really…. shit happens, life is not perfect. The little smile it brought and not letting it bother me was worth the £8 it cost me at the scrappy…….

Lighten up :-)

Someone smashed the rear light on my van a couple of years ago. They left a note that read something along the lines of………

"Sorry I smashed your light, people saw me do it. They think I'm leaving my details……. I'm not. Have a nice day"

It made me chuckle so wasn't that bothered :wink:

Buy secondhand?? and get a Soul etc, better than those 'scaffold' bikes……..

put back in shed.

and not buy fox.

+3 :wink:

Don't take it apart…… they are a **** nightmare to get beck together unless you've got 6 hands and if you do manage it they never work.

He is a complete nob and it's obviously all bollocks….. I'd like to see Bruce Parry and Ray Mears (sp?) kick his arse :twisted:

Yep, hugely but it's pretty and who really cares anyway, bet your all over car-ed (as in the vehicle) we could all get by in shit low powered cars….

I'm with Jedi, just ride it, who gives a toss if your overbiked…….

Nice and steady although I'd like a few more commissions booked in but that's always the case….

I'm a self employed furniture maker/boat fitter. Summer is a busy time usually as I get more boat work in and there's no better place to be when the sun is shining :-)

Cool :)

:D

Sierra Nevada's are ace……Go out there to our 'shack in the hills' 4 or 5 times a year. Flights are cheap and you don't need a guide, just explore….. Never been to Morzine but can highly recommend The Nevada's.

Pics below are within 30 minutes ride of our Cortijo……..

Does he have to pedal backwards? :wink:

but not silly money?

Straitlines…

Fail

Crank brothers……… not cheapy though at £50 odd quid but you'll not get any lower

:lol:

Yep, Lyrik's on mine….. no pics though :-) Run at 160mm most of the time with the occasional trip down to 130 ish for long climbs.

Prefer the coil-y-ness of the Lyrik's over Air Forks. Hecklers aint the lightest of bikes but bloody bombproof, really fill ya with confidence. Bit of extra weight for a far better fork up front is worth it. And the weight of a bike is by and by anyway………

Loads of pics in this thread: http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/please-show-me-your-hecklers

Ive got an 853 Price Albert and really like it, but I believe they were a limited edition??

Yep, only 100 made….. I've got one :D never sell her, she's ace…..

Traveled through on a trip around the world a few years back. Absolutely beautiful place, lovely beaches, lovely people…….

It's worth trying to get away from the main centres and exploring a bit, the rural side of Bali is amazing and you tend to lose the hawkers. Avoid Kuta as it's the main tourist area and is not a good representation of the rest of the country.

There are some lush black volcanic sand beaches to the north east that are worth checking out, sunset time is the best when the whole town come down to the beach to chill out and watch the sun dip over the sea.

If you get time pop over to Java, much less touristy and a real taste of Indonesia. Gunung Bromo is worth seeing and not to far from the coast of Java/Bali side. A volcano within a 2 mile wide volcano with it's own Buddist monestry. quite amazing…..

Good food all over and great parties, just explore, it's the best way to find the gems of the island :D

I've got a brand new bolt up Spank clamp you can have for a couple o quid.

Got another on my PA (just different colour). Works a treat :-)

Occasionally…… when I'm going for the afro, brother from another mother look.

Bit on the 'Butch' side aint she?!!

About an hour each way……

Furniture maker.

Whenever I don't need the Van.

Nice……..

Good lad :-)

OK, Italy?

We're not fit enough to chase them as they run away :wink:
