  1. So, the brake options are, 1 - Hayes Stroker Trail (currently on my Glory) 2 - Juicy 3's with GoodRidge conversion (will take off my Trail bike) 3 - buy another Elixir 5 (only have 1 on my xc bike) Whats the Vote? Im leaning towards the J3's
  2. I started off with Shitmano without knowing any better but i have now been converted to Avid. i have sets of J3's, 2 x J5's and Elixir 5's Im running an Elixir 5 on my Trials bike with a 160mm rotor and I can do a front wheel move without any slip, power and modulation are perfect. J3's with GR conversion on my Slope Style bike and they are still working perfectly at the bottom of the hill.
  3. If any of you Avid haters have any brakes you wanna dispose of I will happily take them off your hands. I had a 2 sets of Deore's and they where **** in my opinion, lots of lever flex and hardly any breaking power. Put some Juicy 3's on and im loving it, did a Goodridge conversion just to make it super powerfull. Other set i swopped out for J5's. 1 finger with a 160mm rotor and you can do a wicked stoppie
  4. AMPED this is gonna be awesome

    France 2011

    I wonder if my wife will let me spend the remainder of our wedding budget on this
  6. where abouts in Emmies?
  7. awesome vid, very well shot and edited
  8. Im thinking the speed i hit it it might be possible, i suck the lip quite a lot, if i had to boost im sure it would be possible. SuperMill Suppose to be 6 weeks which puts me out for the next race but seen as im getting married that sunday it might be a good thing that im off the bike till after the wedding. But i think i might cut the cast off on fri, i can't take it anymore
  9. Thanks guys. The whole right side of my body was pretty still the next day. Patch - the first is way to small for the speed you hit it then the 2nd was fun, popped you a lot higher than expected thou and could have been a tad bit longer but they are a nice addition to the track. The new hip i found was more fun to scrub and berm it. I didn't mean to hit the tree Ya i get a bit too excited into the K@K-n Drop and only just get touch down, im sure its possible to jump the whole thing, pity i cant try now, I think MM should give it a go. It is rather annoying, got a full forearm cast for a little bone in the hand, I never expected casts to be soo uncomfortable and painfull. The finger is kinda feeling ok at the moment. at least it will keep me off the bike and from breaking anything else closer to the big day
  10. The awesome revamped 139 track in PTA and a close encounter with a tree
  11. Those tests are very cool to watch but seriously who is gonna ride their bike into a wall. Where was the rear susp test and pulling the BB away from the fork. Doesn't help if a bike is super strong with the 1 test but then *** in another.
  12. I placed an order 2 weeks ago, Wed at 3pm, it was dispatched the same day and i recieved it the following Wed at 2pm. Under a week, Good going plus i got an extra 1m of Goodridge hose, a bottle and a 10 pound voucher (to be used within 2 weeks which sucks) this was all on free shipping with a 5 pound discount added
  13. That first vid is flipping INSANE
  14. Yes and I like it, Black, think its the 2010 or 11. Fits well and is light
  15. who is in for Westcliff stairs??? Mb we should host the next DH race there
  16. dont know anyone in the easy. there is a ride tomo at 12 at PTA city hall. we rode in Hatfield PTA last week, had 14 ppl come ride, it was really awesome. http://www.facebook....29670410443623/
  17. Awesome stuff, those guys have some mad skills. I would love to know how many parts, frames and wheels they went through
  18. The CBD is like a massive playground, its amazing how much there is to ride there.
  19. Basically what Letum911 said. for the first year or so all you need is a bike, any bike will do but preferably 1 size smaller frame or a DJ bike. It takes a while to build up your confidence, practicing getting onto small ledges and your balance. If you runn SS on 26" the preferred ratio for Trials is 22-18, but there is no issue with running gears, you might just break a few hangers There is a ride this Sunday in Hatfield PTA 8:30 ill post the add later
  20. Yip, it was the Cascaded DH track, the 2 big tables halfway down the track. We were hitting them at full tilt and we were still 1 bike length short. Its a flipping hard landing when you come up short on those.
  21. Pleasure dude, sorry it took soo long but work has been a bitch. That was a weekend to remember but soo much more to ride there.
  22. you mullet by the rear shock, the hose cant compress into its self so you get alot of cable rub and flexing. ill WhatsApp you a pic of what i did with the Jamis so the cables flex between the seatpost tube and the left side of the shock, it seems to be working well so far
  23. I would recommend changing the cable routing, that design doesnt work well at all.
  24. Hardly notice it on the DH bike. Ya im keen to come ride on the Saturday, just come mess around for the day. Sounds like fun They moved out ages ago
  25. Good old fashioned spade, always does a better job. Did it 3 times, first 2 i just cased, 3rd was smooth. Trials jump is my trade mark so i can prove it was me
