that sounds like a plan Superfli , i’ll send you an email to swap phone numbers if thats ok

I had a Curtis Expert BMX which got stolen and a Curtis Freestyler which i sold for peanuts and the welds were perfect , i so wish i still had them .

Mad as in extreme or fast xc wippets ? , my local riding is North Wales so can cope with the natural or trail centre decents but i’m no freeride nutter

i’m working on a transformer in the sub station but until monday evening i’ll not know where we’re staying , would like to join you though as i could be ridin about for hours and not find a thing .

Looks like mtb is the way to go though

I may be able to use the works van but wont be able to go too far as limited mileage and as it would be wasting ride time ( weekday evenings and weekend afternoons ) , which was part of the reason i was thinking about the road bike

Giant Trance
Meta 5 carbon too if you look around , also give Bike Scene a call as they always have deals on frames

i’ve been using Squirt but find it makes the chain noisy and washes of riding past water , soi’m going back to Chain-L as it’s guiet and lasts ages

low weight is key

yes Lady GaGa is a TROUT trout

but it’s still a hardtail !!!!!!

ok thanks , i was starting to worry i’d get no sense on here .

I thought loads of riders on here had Orange 5’s

If you like your Trek have a look at a EX cos the Nickel is quite heavy . Onone have a crazy deal on Titus frames that would be perfect

K24 Oro were really good so i swapped them for R1’s But although very powerfull they were to on-off for me and they also destroyed pads (sintered) compared to the K24’s . Have now got Hope X2 and although dont have the bite of the R1’s they give me far more control so am locking my wheels a lot less , plus i can wheely better now as can control it with the back brake without my front wheel slamming into the floor .
I would just by some new EBC green pads for yours and bed them in properly then with the money you’ve saved buy some new tyres :lol:

The bent top tube makes it look like a dog having a cr.p , i bet it’ll ride good though

Measure it +1

Thanks people i wasnt expecting such a good reply
It does seem :lol: it’s not only me having such bad luck with them , i’ll have to have a look at the Specialized and Dakine

after less than ten rides but i always seem to get them from shops while riding away from home so carnt go back

Ergon GX1’s for me , i did the Dyfi Enduro yesterday with some pretty tricky decents and had no problem with my hands slipping at all

I’ve just replaced some R1’s with the X2’s
R1’s
Slightly more power
Weight
Eat pads real fast

Hope X2’s
BRITISH
Modulation
Dont eat pads Leaver feel
Customer back up
BRITISH
Hope’s every time

about 10 but all on the Rhyl marsh BMX track and it’s soooooooooooooo much fun – my 12 year old boy was looking after me

My cold should of gone by the weekend then i’ll be there , it’ll be 1981 and i’ll be 14 all over again :lol:

i fancy the green ones but was also thinking along the same lines

been there and done that :oops: dont even think about pooing :lol:

do you think he could of been drinking :?: just a thought

Have a look at the Continental Mountain king MK2 , i’ve used them for a couple of rides and carn’t believe how fast they roll for the amount of grip they give , i’d say they beat the Nic’s in every way and are almost as fast as Ralph’s

Tyres Tyres Tyres how boring !!!! :roll:

i’ve been using stan’s kits for a few about 5 yrs now trouble free but have found that Conti tires need cleaning out with thinners as the release agent from the mold stops stan’s from sealing

smooth tarmac :lol: where do you find that stuff :?:

the most pointless thing ever ? A SINGLE SPEED mountain bike :evil: why why why

where are you lot from as i’ve just seen one of your youtube vids and it’s of MY local trail down to the Garth Mill and you even have the CHEEK to call it YOUR local trail :lol:

Seretide 250 twice a day is my drug , using my last dics at the moment then the new CFC free ones .

Hang on while i also *retrieves Peak Flow meter* not seen that for a while

520 but was cr_p on a ride last night so before christmas cold i must of been doing well . 2yrs ago it was 350 without a cold or infection , so having new riding mates allowing me to get out more have worked wonders for me .

have just loaded it is it easy enough to use to make you want to use it – if that makes any sence :roll:

WHY :?: if your lucky you’ll be in the right gear for 5% of the ride

Go the whole hog and do it on a BMX :idea:

have a look at the mojo web site

try gear 13 on your bike and just leave it there :roll:

2.25 would be better on a 5 as the 2.4 are huge

Fast tyre but try not to ride anywhere near rocks and if your used to something grippy like Highrollers don’t go around corners either

Whyte E-120

it’s an old u-turn rev fork i’ve had for about 4yrs that are still super smooth and really easy to strip , the RLT’s should be amazing on it
