Mxb 110cc mini x pit bike.

Before I purchased a mini bike, I looked carefully at lots of them and choose the MXB for a number of reasons, one being the size as my son already has a Thumpstar I new from it that I needed more room and the Mxb filled that gap, with higher bars and taller tougher suspension! So far I've riden the Mxb for about 20 hours and I can't seem to brake anything, which has really surprised me, I've falling of, went over the bars and even flipped it while pulling a wheelie! and still nothing more than bending the rear brake pedal. I've changed the filter to a foam one, mainly for cleaning and letting in some more air. I've also upgraded the gear lever to a longer five "0" one because of my big feet! and I've added a large card spacer which seems to allow the bike to rev more along with changing to larger jets, which allows the bike to make make power for very little cost and a billet fuel cap for looks! The standard tyres are very good and the feedback, grip from thems great! Fittting mx ones now, so I'll update soon!

Thumpstar 120cc

The Thump's all round a very nice bike, comes with lots of extra parts, but you do pay more for them, £895 and deals are hard to come by. Small for an adult rider but fine for the kids. One thing I've noticed though is when jumping it does feel very heavy and like its going to brake under the weight. 120cc, but no more power for it! Standard bars which I bang my knees on and makes turning very hard. There one more annoying part about them that I must add, and thats the chain rubbing through the swing arm slider, all Thumps have this problem, it goes through the slider in a matter of hours, then digs into the alloy swinging arm, making a real mess of it! apparently Thump have known about this from the start. Basically the engines sitting down to low in the frame causing to much of and angle for the chain! and they've done nothing to resolve the issue on any of there bike! mmm a manufacture that doesnt seem to care! beware!

Muc-Off bike cleaner.

Does exactly as it says! makes the removal of dirt from your bike easy. I've been using it for over a year now and haven't had to pinch the wife's fairy liquid since.What I found the first time you apply it, it doesn't appear to do much, but stick with it, as it builds up a fine coating after a wash or 2, then the dirt comes of much easier from then on. Follow the instructions and wash the bike down first, then apply and leave to stand for a couple of minutes then work it in with a brush and finally rinse off, then hey presto your bikes gleaming again!

I bought the 1litre spray first, and the 5 litre refill there after, £22 delivered

Fox Forma Pro boots.

First impressions were these boots look great and are very comfortable, they have a trainer type fit, but they feel kind of high on the sole at first, as if your walking on the moon! they do break in real fast and have an excellent build quality, I've had mine a year plus and haven't had any problems with the buckles or the material, the only critism I would have is the soles haven't out lived the rest on the boot! so it's time for a change... but I'll be hard pushed to pass these by when thinking about my next pair.

Excellent value for money against the Tech's and equally as good..

Lazer Mx6 Everts Replica 04 model

Great looking helmet, real light and a comfortable fit, but let down by poor build quality, my peak adjuster had broken of when it was delivered never mind used, a phone call produced another which lasted about a week then broke! The fin on the back looked great but again didn't stay in place for long and to cap it of the lining is a real fuss to remove for cleaning... but you get what you pay for here as it's not an expensive helmet... one which looks great and is reasonable value for money... these issues might be solved in the 05 model, but I don't think I will be finding out!

Renthal fat bars...

Great product, highly recommended, I've personally crashed quite hard a few times with these bars and they've not moved an inch, nice looking, real strong and they don't scratch easily either... A+

No fear Electron 04 kit

No fear Electron kit 04

Excellent gear, one of the best kits I've owned, pants are well padded and have good venting, they also have a waist adjustor for fine fitting which you don't find on many other kits. The top fits well and holds its shape after many washes. The only complaint is the top bobbles very quickly after a few washes, but in my experience most tops do...

Superb value for money, plenty good deals going on this gear...
