  1. Nightmares more like it, thats fugly.
  2. It may decrease productivity but it helps the retail sector
  3. The XT brakes are awesome, worth the money in my opinion but judging by what MBUK have to say about the SLX brakes then they must be out of this world to have trumped the XT brakeset.
  4. The SS World Championship (not the nazi SS either)
  5. Tell me about it, I was shattered afterwards. I had sore muscles I did not even know existed. There is a massive abandoned building site near me that I'm gonna go build some stuff on this weekend to practice with.
  6. Fair enough, lol.As I said the guy opposite me has just built his custom SS with horizontal droputs for the world chaps. So flipping nice, I'll try get a pic of it
  7. Not sure the exact dimensions of this frame, I've only got about 5-6mm mud clearance on my Trance with 26" wheels
  8. I've seen better , the guy opposite us at work has the nicest looking morewood 29er frame I've ever seen, in fact the paint job is the nicest I've ever seen
  9. It should technically add another 12-13mm
  10. Are you sure that your fork will work with the larger wheels?
  11. Until I see Burry,Sauser, Evans etc bunnyhop a log they will have beginner skills
  12. Do the Pro's have intermediate or advanced MTB skills?
  13. Why? he gave you the run around. At least he is getting it sorted out.
  14. The thing is I'm doing these as I ride, I think. To just do a manual or J-hop on a flat grassy area is harder then it looks. The falling I don't mind, but I'm determined to learn to wheelie properly I'm still suffering from sore shoulders, arms & back from Sundays practice session. I did about 6km up and down the touchline at the local football ground practicing, lol.
  15. Thanks for that, its certainly harder then you would think . I've got some old flats I'll put on tonight. Is it easier to do a wheelie sitting down or standing up? Is there a better gear to be in, I did manage about a 10m wheelie, after getting the hang of pulling up my bars evenly What I have found is that I'm not pulling on my bars at the same time( left seems to always trail the right, I'm right handed) so it keeps putting me off balance, I do the same when I hit jumps and can cause some near misses on the landing. I need to be able to control my centre of gravity when doing the manual & wheelie. I'm sure one will come with the other.
  16. I spoke to a good few mates about this, and they also are in the same boat, these are guys that ride a lot, enter the Sani, Stage Races etc etc. All competant riders, but lacking in technical skills.
  17. I went on Sunday to brush up on my intermediate skills(J-Hop, Manual & wheelie), needless to say I was left in a lot of pain and woke very sore on Monday. A J- Hop, as in the video clip posted here is not easy to do on a large MTB, with SPD and a high seat post. Any recommendations on the best way to wheelie, manual & J-Hop?
  18. At least the cops actually did something, lets applaud that.
  19. I agree, its something I've been saying for ages as well.
  20. I know, this is a problem After my last fun time with Mavericks , I'm inclined to find someone else. If there really is no one else then I'll have to go there, doh. Just always had rubbish service from them.
  21. Either way I would still not use Mavericks for anything. I'm not sure if Good2Go are an authorised service centre for Fox though, check first.
  22. On the grounds you don't like it anymore, and that you found it cheaper elsewehere.
