scratchmear scar timed sesh

scratch timed shesh iv got a solid

oreet ia this marv?

Just been to hamsterley today, loved it, fast and almost dry just the odd wet root here and there to keep you on your toes! Starting to gel with the DH bike again. I've been a bit out of practice and we've been having a few fights and arguments down tech stuff, but we seem to have patched thing up! lol

I would rather spend the money on new bike

i still have my old full face helmets nothing wrong - you're right

Yeah true about the f*cking helmets

Sorry but I really don't get this drawball nonsense. I simply don't see the point of wasting any of my time trying to figure out what the hell it's about.

the frame is put under no more stress so no. and if it did crack i would take the shox off before sending it off*

How come you haven't got a bike?

Last time I was at Thunton was in a long gone different millennium..! I've been meaning to go for ages because I've heard very good things about those woods from everyone I know who's been there recently. Maybe we could arrange a day up there sometime and then another day I could give you a guided tour of Chopwell's hidden gems?

Haha well thanks

Lol I wont unless I get a ridiculous amount of money for it, I need money to insure my car atm

haha no worries.. it always takes agess.. haha,, my bike wouldn;t have been back if my grandparents hadn't given me some money (early birhtday present)lol
just give me a should when the bike is back in action. (:

next to whitey bay

yeah will do.. when will your bike be back together?

no its like 15min in car

probs 30mins actually

holywell

hahaha.. it's bum proof.lol
yeah I gotta agree with you there,, they are so much easier to maintain... kinda wish i had done 4X instead of downhill in that respect.lol

ahhhhh..
my bike is finally working again. (hasn't been since my last fort william crash)lol
Just put a new wheel, hanger, mech and some other bits and bobs on it (: probably going riding tomorrow (: Hamsters maybe.. gutted your having to shred on a HT.lol

not sure
40mins maybe?

alreet,, hows it goin?

Don't sweat it man I can take a joke,even if it involves my mother.I just gotta say if you get on here and start calling people f*gs and f*ckers and all that sorta thing no one will ever take you seriously.Just calm down,make your point in a reasonable way and you'll find more people agreeing with you than being annoyed with you.You'll find this works in the real world outside of Pinkbike as well.Take care buddy.

hey man, can you tell me where in my comment I said I hated DH and mentioned anything about dirt/street beings superior? You are exactly like any dirt/street junkie complaining, but just for DH. Exactly the same.... Do you go on pinkbike and just try to start internet fights?

ok, fer do's.

why do you hate kona so much?

*specific

you need certain bearings with a soecific angel. very standerd though. i used the ones out of a £27 cane creak headset.

mite be there on sunday. not shure yet...

http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=8244

is a reducer. you press it into the frame then press (1-1/8th) just the bearins (no cups) into it. bob on

what size. i was goin to get a king 1.5 to 1-1/8th. get a etherteen reducer then fit just the sealed caterige bearing out of a normal headset... supper solid.
but if you want 1.5 then you cant go wrong with canecreak. there standerd.

what you doin then. removin the clip or gettin a new shox???

this is a 2008 demo 8 and 7. just a diferent colour to yours plus a mag link. exectly the same but bigger shox. wich pushes the rear further away making it a higher staover, bb steeper.... thats it

compare?

no. 7.7 with tirpples would feel great. will be slack at 67degrees not 66 and low and racey. try it. i ran it for a while with a dhx4 and trippels. felt great, but had a pushed tuned dhx 5 wich happend to be a longer stroke so fitted that and feels wicked. to be fair though if i had the choice i dont mind 7.7 over 8.4 inch travel as it is more recey. it was just the shox i happend to have.

so a demo 7 has better racing geo as its lower and slack but if you realy want that 0.7 inch more travel go for the bigger shox. just run more sag. thats what i do....
any questions feel free to ask.

now if you want a demo 8 though...

put a 8.75 by 2.75 shox on. this will give 8.4 inch travel. a slightly higher bottom bracket and standover. steeper head angel by 1-degree. so EXCTLY the same geometry as a 2008 demo 8 BUT with a 1.5 head tube. (but e-thirteen do a 1.5 to 1-1/8 reducer)

take that of and you get 7.7 inch travel.

so

ok. the shock that comes is a 8.5 eye to eye by 2.5 stroke. under the rubber bottom out bung there is a plastic c clip on the shock stroke. this is a travle limiter to put the bike to 7inch travel. (http://www.pinkbike.com/photo/1655397/) dont read it just look at pick.

yeah just ask him about the stroke length and stuff.. the guy you want's pinkbike is like ockman9.. he is in my friends.

haha yeah tyres & pressure make such a difference.haha i wish i could have a new set of tyres like once a month.aha

haha yeah.. i think if it was set up better and the frame was filled with lead it would be a quality bike :L
although it's not the bike its the rider.

yeah demos are pretty awesome.. i dont really like the weight of the lappierre.. its too light :S.aha

yeah,, i know what you mean.. id much rather have a v10 than anything else really.. gotta love the vpp.lol

haha fair enough.. im thinking i need a new bike.. like a v10 or id quite like a session 10 (: or maybe a glory.lol

haha i loved it.. after like 2 days of riding there when i new the lines it got alot smoother (: and bettererer. i well wonna go back for a weekend when my bike is riding again.

it went pretty good,, broke my thumb on wednesday.. bike isn't too good either. other than that all good.haha
