Recommended Posts

 

 

 

Wow I thought the first clip was good, but that guy on unicycle must be fit as fookery, I thought they was for clowns lol obviously not lol

 

Any of you bike heads recommend an entry level bike for a 7 year old lad? He really wants to start getting off-road and into the moors and forestry local, it won't be downhill tho just riding to keep him fit??

i would say specialized do best kids bikes for the money. little bit more money for a lot better quality than most

We always have paid a wee bit extra to get better, ever since they had the wee balance bikes when they learnt to walk lol he got a good box and a wee mountain bike way no gears, but he wants better for crimbo, cheers for that, my bike is a specialised, funny enough, mine come from local tip tho lollol

makes sense mate fair play for getting him into it done the same with mine years ago.its a good sport or hobby and its kept me fit over the years hope he sticks at it

 

Anything to stop them asking g for a PlayStation or Xbox mate :thumbs:

And listen to the commentators going MENTAL!  

feck me I thought I was crazy going down the steps at the leisure centre on my bike

For those who think theres no fitness in it.. belive me there is, a good 10 min downhill course takes its toll peddaling or no peddaling. I do a bit myself

Meat...you might be doing your lad a favour long term if you dont succumb to the front bouncy fork fashion epidemic, a lot of lads brought up on just such a machine don't actually learn how to plot/track a line and with the suspenders wiping out a multitude of faults ..a young rider will have little need to experiment useing his body-shift-weight. Eventually what happens is they become to drunk on applause and know not what to do when they hit a front wheel trap, teeth stuck in the floor or down thier gob is usually close behind this happening. A rigid fork early doors stands them in gud sted (wink/wink)

got 97 kila always wanted the ti hei hei from early 90s

 

The 98 kila (653 reynolds) is a billy belter. Ti's not all that, truth be told, had five pair of Morati cranks under warranty before i give up and took me money another route, it cracks is the truth of the matter. I once asked Roberts to bespoke me a Ti stem and he told me to f**k off, so i told him i'd pay him a bonny months wages, he asked me was i hard of hearing. It cracks and he can't afford the compo. Kona did actually produce a Ti fork for the explosif (very limited production), one turns up on the WW market about every 3yrs and all the non riders set thier snipers, they realise a monkey very easilly and ride like fudge but that's not the point when your bragging and not riding. Bizarrely the 3 butted project two fork in steel that arrived factory with the explosif is probably the best ever and can be picked up in clean order for a nifty. Sometimes less is more.
