Kilograms you mean. Right? Cause 11.1 Kilograms would be 24.47 pounds, and that seems about right. By the way, check out my Capital! lol. And also what is your opinion on the Reba, I'm looking to go with a suspension fork on my Cap after breaking my wrist, and can't choose. I'll be riding mostly park. Thanks.
- 1 0
Yeah, I meant kilograms. Jetlag is a bitch.
I would reccomend the Reba, but the 20mm version is probably a better option in the way of stiffness.
If I were to have to go get a new fork right now it would be between a Reba or Pargyle... Or a Fox if there was enough money!
- 1 0
Yeah, on Chainreactioncycles.com they only have the 9mm. My current hub is a 9mm, but then you think it wouldn't be strong enough for park your saying? I've never ran a XC fork for anything, so I don't know much on them.
- 1 0
I'm not saying it wouldn't hold(riding style depending), but some people just like the reassurance of sturdier and burlier parts.
And I'm pretty sure CRC have the Reba team or something which is 20mm.

Coaster brakes?
They're in no way fit for a street/park bike!
I don't have any brakes and stop by putting my foot down or shoving it into my back tyre.

Yeah I know, but do you get Hub brakes, so they are just like no cables, or a cable going down the stem and handle bars? lol that works but go through shoes like socks!
- 1 0
You do.
Check out a postmans bike the next time you see one - huge hubs, with cable leading down to them. They're apparently easier to maintain, but probably weigh a bomb and would be fairly week when it comes to anything other than delivering the mail!
And not really, I've been riding brakeless on this bike for nearly a year now and my shoes are fine! Brakeless riding gives you a better overall balance, means you can't whimp out when going for a line and helps you sort you speed out before you get to an obsticle, rather than last minute braking.

indeed, but lately I wish I used my brakes tryed to do a jump, back wheel just clipped the end flipped me over and broke my leg 
I kinda knew I wasnt gonna make it but I though, "Wont be that bad" lol was I wrong!
Im only 14 so not hardcore biker! XD

Deffinatly wouldn't advise brakeless for dirt jumping or untill you've got a really good over-all bike handling skill!
Shame about the leg mate, how long untill it's healed?

Sods law that it happens the day you don't wear your shinnies!
Hope you heal up fast and get riding again soon!

Aye hopefully, thanks. You freecoasting is doss!
I can only go a bit, do you just turn the handle bars, like wiggle them to keep ballace?
And do you need to pedal back?

The whole point of a freecoaster is that you don't need to back pedal (although a back pedal might be needed before hand to disengage the clutch).
And it's all about keeping your balance using your body weight (and in my case a few hops where needed) as turning the bars can throw you off even more!
Really need to get some videos of all my latest trick-atry

Think mine need to go upto 70 or maybe 80mm when I next have them apart!
All boxed up and ready to go by the way

Eh maybe ill go only down by 10mm then, they might bottom out at 60mm tbh. btw, just wondering dont the Capitals have an integrated piv post, as yours doesnt *seem* to have one. And RAD. It'll give me something to look forward to while im working my mundane as f*ck job.

The 2009 Capital (like this one) have the intergrated seatclamp, unlike the 2010 one which has the built in pivotal post (and the awesomeness of U-brake mounts!).
I'm selling this as I want the '10 version:P
And what're your forks at now?
With a Sub frame I think anywhere between 100-80mm of travel is plenty for street and park.

My Dash totally aint showing any replies.
Ah yeah, i want to try out a U brake but theres so many reasons they suck, i.e wet rim = no brakes :p
how much you selling that for? Id love a capital tbh, the sub is good, but i want the geo more dialled. My forks are at 80mm now, but since breaking em i got 3" rise bars from 1", and been running rigids so im used to the height (or lowness) of that.

A nicely dialled in U-brake can hold its own against any other brake in my opinion!
And I'm selling it for £200 posted including BB and the Pivotal post as it's in such good condition, but I'm probably going to have to settle for less.
I've always loved 3" rise bars (or 3.6" bars when I've run Districts) on rigids.
But always thought that with sus you should run 2" rise bars.
Yet since having 3.6" bars on sus I take it all back.
Just rides so damn nice!

well id prefur to pick up because i got ripped off not long sice because i payed and it was not sent .

I can understand where you're coming from, but you're gonna end up paying alot more.
If you're unconvinced you can ask anyone who I've sold stuff to on here (and that's alot of people) and they'll all tell you that items arrive as described and very quickly.
I've been a member on this site for over 2 years, so I think if a moderator was going to get a complaint and mark me as a scammer, it would have happened by now!

The hubs?
Source BMX.
I think they have to be built up by Profile Europe and then they get sent to you by over night courier if they don't have the exact ones you want.

Not meaning to sound up myself, but I wouldn't blame you as it's a pretty dialled setup with looks to match!

Well with the rigids if I had my feet "normal" like on other bikes the front wheel would hit my front foot just turning, but now that I'm used to it and with the addition of the differant forks it's better. Bar width might also pose a problem, but I'm sure you can get around it by trimming them or just pinching further back.

my foot hits the wheel because the clearence isnt enough. i need to back my toe to the front of the pedal. how do you like ur bike with suspension?
- 1 0
I love it.
As much as I loved it fully rigid it does feel tonnes better to have that extra 'pop' on some tricks.
- 1 0
Pretty well to be honest.
It's obviously not gonna be as stiff as 20mm forks or anything like that, but with the weight considered it's pretty damn sturdy.
The only time it feels slightly sketchy is when I do a dodgey halfcab and my front wheel connects with the ground at a funny angle.
- 1 0
Deffinatly!
In comparison the gap is nothing, which is good as with rigids I always got half my foot stuck.

Thanks!
And the tyres were good whilst I had them (sold them for KHE Dirts), didn't get a single puncture whilst I had them, nice and grippy (maybe a little too grippy for sliders), but the weight really held them back!
And I love the fork!
Was great at 100mm, but I lowered it to 60mm so it was only 10mm longer than the NS RNS 2's A2C hieght, so like rigid, but with some pop!
What also makes them brilliant is the dual air spring, so you can get the softness/rigididty perfect (less negative air than in the positive makes them move less easily and more negative air than positive makes them more active).
Might be switching the frame out for the '10 version as I want to get a gyro'd U-brake set-up on the go!

If it were possible to obtain 26" Odyssey Aitkens, or fit 26's on a Capital 2 then I would understand your confusion.

Considering I haven't even posted the whole bike for sale, your question is moronic.
If I were to sell it, you would be looking at about £2000.
Non-negotiable.

Are you f*cking retarded or something?
The title of the ad says in bold letters "NO SWAPS".
And even so, what use would I have for a stock GT?

Oh lol.
I think I'm only continuing this as your badly spelled sentances and failed insults amuse me.
My hair is black and do you really think that I care what some retard thinks of me?
Go play with a kite near some power lines: hopefully that, along with some natural selection will sort you out.

Let me get this straight.
You're spelling is worse than a 5 year old and you're correcting me on my spelling?
The irony is over-whelming.
