U know STP stand for "Small Tiny Penis" kim?

Bikes look sik dude will have to come for a ride wit us one day when i get of my arse and start riding again that is

[hako]

haha i thought it was Stand There & Pose

STPs get a lot of stick for being common i think

[WRCjosh]

anyone have a stp style hardtail frame they wanna swap for a downhill spec Giant AC team edition frame? Im sick of the dualie

[antilagga]

lol it's street/trail/park

[FranZ]

Does anybody go riding at skateparks?

[mr_mike]

yeh i used to hit the sk8 parks pretty often with the WA freerde boys always good fun.

Antilagga we know it Street Trail Park, i was pullin the piss :P

STP's do cop alot of shit mainly because every 13y0 rich kid has one and thinks they r a L33t rider. Still a very nice bike to ride plenty guys ride them in 4 cross and do pretty well.
Value for money u cant go past a STP 0

How do u find the hookworms kim? i ran them for a while but found them to weigh a ton. roll on K-rads now and tehy r sweet

[RICEY]

is that bike difficult to ride with a brick stuck to the bottom of the pedal?

[FranZ]

Do you know when the freeride boys get out there; I wanna take some pics sometime.

[mr_mike]

check out their website www.wafreeride.com or hit up David Chai on msn d_chai@hotmail.com.
He organises most of the rides and is usually the guy who takes all the pics has some bling SLR camera he always takes along. He'd b the best person to talk to about organisin some photo's

[Passage GT]

used to see dudes riding at skatepark across from maccas in willeton
saw one dude that kept doin back flips
was pretty cool
most the other pingpingpingpings just rode around and didn't do anything though lol

it replaces a swear word with pingpingping i think

hookworms are ok mike, yeah they are heavy but that doesnt worry me too much
they only work on tarmac, concrete tho
as soon as u ride over something loose they want to slide out

[BlueSIV]

Should of had your mum pose with the bikes kim. Straddling it and stuff!

[dtcng]

I run hookworms for the street and minions for trails on the Faith 2. The hookworms im let to believe have the same casing as the dh tyres. I agree with Mr_Mike that the STP zero is definitely well specced for its price which is why I own one. The STP is also quite a capable machine at the goat farm. I shall attempt to get pics of both bikes sometime soon.
Hako thats one well specced stp, how do you find the marzocchi forks?

heres a couple

[Passage GT]

lol was wondering about the pingpingpingping thing before
saw it on a few other posts and just figured it was some lame thing a few of the antilaggers were doing haha

[hako]

Hako thats one well specced stp, how do you find the marzocchi forks?


Im well impressed with the DJ1s, took me a while to get the rebound right but now they are great, probly the only thing on the bike i'm 100% happy with.

Nice bikes you have there, what shock is on the Faith? Fox dhx4.0?
what do you think of it ? and what are the minions like? i plan on running them on the Morewood, not sure whether to go F&R or 2xF tho.
I'm hoping to start going to the goatfarm when the Morewood is built, ive only been once and that was 10 years ago haha.

[mr_mike]

fuck goat farm, Mt Gunjin is the shit!!! heaps of Northshore style wooden jumps and raised single track walkways. Last i heard there was a new section with seesaws and shit.

[dtcng]

Hako , on the faith the rear shock is a fox dhx 3, ultimately i would love a dhx4 or 5 but the 3 does the job nicely. Minions are brilliant, i run the minion f on the rear and it sticks hard into the berms at the goat farm. Mt gunjin is good for the more advanced but the goatfarm is good for those that are getting in the sport or just a quick blast during the day

[bogrider]

Do you know when the freeride boys get out there; I wanna take some pics sometime
I ride bmx so i dont know about where the MTB/Downhill guys ride but theres some jumps in Darlington (just next to the oval) they may be a bit run down by now.

those dirt jumps are wild to ride

[mr_mike]

they r pretty new aint they?
I got a mate who lives near by is an awsome street MTB rider

[mitcho]

who are you bogrider - I worked with Paul Neive and Mitch to design and build the darlington jumps.

they are a bit ruff at the mo, but still rideable. Private DJ's are where its at.

heres some of my old bikes. Ive chopped and changed from mtb to bmx over the past 4 or 5 years now.

this one is from early last year - 05 DMR Rhythm with many diff parts.

[mitcho]

nah havnt seen those guys in months. there too boring for my liking and too much posing gets done, which only leaves me and lachy riding.

and yer the rhythm was a real good bike, loved that thing, then again the NPJ was even better through the trails. RIP Martin Rd.

[mr_mike]

josh i'd get rid of the boxxer triples on a hardtail and chuck some Pikes or summin on

[hako]

nice work josh
yeah like mike said stps and triples dont go that well together
saying that there are a few around, see how you go

[mr_mike]

the main problem with runnin triples on a hard tail is it changes where the main stress points r on the frame meanin the frame around the headtube tends to break. Have seen it happen a few times on Farkin.net forums.

[RGVFAST]

haha check how high the front end sits with the boxxers

street or jump bike 4 inches is plenty of travel
prolly able to swap them for some nice street forks and cash ur way

must be super hard to lift the rear wheel with that travel and altered geometry

________
ford vn platform picture (http://www.ford-wiki.com/wiki/Ford_VN_platform)

[mr_mike]

even 4" is to big for a jump/street bike ross.
Either 2-3" or solid forks seems to b the top choice.

[hako]

nah i think 100mm is the fork of choice these days especially for dj
no point going 2 or 3" for park work, might as well have rigids

my 100mm forks u can wind compression right down if need be

[mitcho]

nah just run rigids. suspension is only for hardcore downhill style. in Saying that i ran 100mm DJ 1's for a while on my DMR and they were nice with a stiff spring in them. But no good for park or tight trails.

and id watch out for that headtube on that STP, if that thing is taken for a beating your going to eat the bars real bad.

[WRCjosh]

yeah i know what you mean, only thing is these are the only shocks available to me at this time, im well aware their more then overkill!!!

Any idea what a set of these BOXXERS would be worth? Im pretty sure their the RIDE variety, with u-turn height adjustment etc etc. I wouldnt mind swappin them for a set of pikes or similiar

Nice bighit i quite like them, what year is it?

josh, i've got an stp0 that im struggling to get used to after riding dh bikes only for the last 6years..might be interested in the frame swap or complete

dh guys, which tracks are still running ? Stopped racing a few years ago when i broke my last bike

[hako]

goatfarm and nannup seem to be the main ones
however lookn at the calender there are tracks in geraldton, mundaring (is that mt gungin??), 3 chillies farm?, dwellingup and wellington mills

asking someone on perthmtb would be best bet

[evo_zero]

Mundaring and Goat Farm are the "local" DH tracks. 3 Chillies is the 4cross track and Mt Gunjin is a freeride track out back of Kalamunda

[Lord_Muck]

Whats the track at the top of Morrison Rd in SWAN VIEW, or is that the goat farm track? Attracts a heap of people on some weekends.

[DCIEVE]

chittering? (orange farm on old road to york) used to be good fun, york as well had the best drops but that was a long time ago. dwellingup was too damn dusty
they still have the slalom setup at the sanitarium joint? will check out pmtb

[mitcho]

LORD MUCK - that would be the goat farm.

[mr_mike]

DCIEVE thats 3 Chillies farm.

[hako]

all those i listed are being used for state downhill rounds this year, so they must all have a dedicated downhill track i take it

Anyone got anything like an STP2 or perhaps a little more mountain bike orientated for sale at the mo? Or a set of suspension front forks to suit cantilever brakes?

Ok i went down the bike shop and he tells me there's not really any upgrades for my dinosaur RALEIGH, there's like one aftermarket fork that would fit it, thats only got about 50mm of travel, and all up with bits to fit it and fitting etc be just under $300. So the AVANTI Escape they had there for $499 (currently on special for $399) is looking much more enticing.

Thanks for the offer evo_zero but i think i'm needing something with more gearing for the all-round riding up n down in the hills that i had in mind. Just for interests sake how much travel are those forks?

130mm probly a bit of over kill but doesnt feel to bad i was only using it for going down hills and on the street probly not that great for going up!

Street only, its true, i have a tendancy to have things close my ring, i actually keep a love trinket from WRCjosh secured to the hairs of my ass... special place for a special person... comes get some hugs nigga! ahhhahaha

You talking about the Specialized? that pic is from the night i purchased it, prior to me making any appropriate adjustments, i have lowered the seat a little, but being around 155cm tall i try give myself somewhere to sit :P

i was talking about both bikes, i do a little bit or park and street (barely know anything over dropping in, but i try :P) and ive found, even how high my seat is now, its a pain in the ass, sometimes literally.

ive dropped it way low, but im 190 ish tall, so theres a bit of difference there, just shocked me a bit :P

[Slip_]

haha yeh i havent gotten down to the park yet, by 155, i meant 185cm lol, sorry must be the crack getting to me...

cheers mang, noted. i'll drop it down some more and see if i can live with it.

if your 190 and can get by then i'll give it a shot.

i heard cocaines a helluva drug :P

i think the idea is to have the seat,when your standing on the pedals, just under your knees, enough to grab for barspins etc.

gotta brush the dust off mine and get back on it aye, hella unfit!
