Real nice colour i like it ! Totems look good, but will break soon :) Nice uk dh bike
DerekKobeTi replied... on 3 November 2007
UPDATE: Totems fixed, no biggie just a minor problem now there as plush as a mofo again...
DerekKobeTi replied... on 26 October 2007
Also an update the VP-Free now has some LOVELY 83mm Diabolus cranks with a dual ring setup & saint mech. Also installed some Hope Moto V2's which are well...... let me just say i dont think you could improve on their performance EVER!
DerekKobeTi replied... on 26 October 2007
They have broken now thanks for the warning, just a bit late :-) Off to TF Tuned they go....

DerekKobeTi replied... on 26 October 2007
I swung in, you failed to build my wheel and i managed to break the forks, result eh hehehehe lol! :-)
Jayfaedoom replied... on 23 October 2007
of course i will have a look man. Swing in by with it sometime.
Jayfaedoom replied... on 23 October 2007
haha cheeky b*****d hahaha..........
DerekKobeTi replied... on 23 October 2007
Wonder if i should let you build my rear wheel hmmm considering its more complicated than cable routing lol :-) on a serious note tho i need you to have a look at my High speed/Low speed compression dials on the totems as the silver one on top wont move atall so i need you expertise man.
Jayfaedoom replied... on 23 October 2007
ace man, but you should of said it is grim when climbing cause now i am thinking of getting one, so another frame option to add to my list hahaha!
Oh and about the cable routing on front fork, i was talking bollocks i didnt realise totems have a guide on the front for the cable, whoooops for me like, sorry man!
DerekKobeTi replied... on 23 October 2007
Actually Jay it climbs really really well, and to be honest it climbs amazingly cycing through torry being chassed by a group of junkies!!! hehee, nah but seriously with the dual ring up front yes it does climb particulary well!!
Jayfaedoom replied... on 23 October 2007
yeah i agree with you Lee it is a really nice bike.
Derek, a quick more serious question rather than my stupid banter comments.
How does it climb? You have now got me thinking about one of these frames, darn you hehe.

Jayfaedoom said on 20 October 2007
it is blue
it is bouncy
man ya need to route ya front brake cable properly
other than that it is blue
oh and nae bad like
DerekKobeTi replied... on 23 October 2007
ahhhhh, i see now which Jay you are hehe in that case i'll just ignore all your comments lol :-)
Jayfaedoom replied... on 23 October 2007
oh and i think you missed the point of my banter i am not having a go man. I just prob write like i speak in person which can sometimes be taken the wrong way on the internet. I know the frame n forks you have very well, and i have told you how much i rate VP Free's last time ya where by the shop. So yeah.. cool cool. just a point like!
Jayfaedoom replied... on 23 October 2007
reeet,
i would route it to the back of the fork, and zip tie it the other side to what you have. I cant really explain it better than that. Just put the caliper through the brace and down then zip tie, this would give a better route way. In my opinion.
DerekKobeTi replied... on 22 October 2007
Lol, i mean i WOULD appreciate an explenation hehe :-)
DerekKobeTi replied... on 22 October 2007
I'm perfectly calm bud all i want to know is what exactly i've done wrong or if nothing what you would do that would better the routing of the cables, i'm always open to constructive critisisim but i dont appreciate an explenation.
Cheers
Del
Jayfaedoom replied... on 22 October 2007
Calm down dear,
i would just route it a different way that is all!
But hell what do i know. Tis just my opinion.
DerekKobeTi replied... on 20 October 2007
I've just looked at around 30 odd bikes on pinkbike with totems and the cable routing is exact to the way mine is so please explain.
DerekKobeTi replied... on 20 October 2007
How should my front brake cable be routed then?

graham888 said on 18 October 2007
very nice bike, shame about the colour and the cow seat. great spec.
graham888 replied... on 31 October 2007
fair point, the colours not too bad on your vp-free im fed up of black bikes too and i have one which im getting resprayed soon.
DerekKobeTi replied... on 20 October 2007
Each to their own i like the colour, ive had lots of black bikes and im bored of them and also its a camo seat not a cow patern.
