  1. will it be cheaper/better to get my local bike shop to do this as i would need to buy the bleed kit and i have never bled a maggy before
  2. im not an expert on these cranks but i am pretty sure that that should fit your cranks. aslong as you are running a front freewheel. you remove the freewheel put the bash on put the freewheel back on and i think it will be fine. and very nice hope it helps
  3. hi I brought a pair of new maguras today but the front hose is way to long for my bike. is there any way of trimming it down without having to reebleed the thing. cheers
  4. hey buddy dunno if its your kind of thing but iv always liked these http://82.110.105.16/tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=389 check it out slightly ova budget though if you dont like it check the other bikes on the site. hope this helps tom
  5. if you are looking for a short term solution get the vps for 12 quid they are good grippy pedals but they break in my experience. I run DMR v8s these seem a better long term pedal as they are easy to service as they have grease ports and they are strong with replacable pins. i would go for the v8s hope this helped

    Stem

    someone also told me to get a high rise stem to make the bike more flicky. i have also heard that these stems are only realy for bikes with high bottom brackets (my bottom bracket isnt that high being a base) so would i benifit from a high rise stem or a low rise stem such as an echo or zoo stem cheers
  9. should i get the onza ronnie or reggie drilled rear rim (26") as far as i can see the ronnie only comes in 36hole which means i cant get the hub i wanted but the reggie is alot thinner than the ronnie cheers tom

    Hubs

    i do have some halo tornados on diatech anchor hubs will these be light enough and would it then be a good idea to build a drilled rim onto the rear hub. or would i be better off buying new wheels? also does anyone know of a good cheap stock stem i could get. I dont think im supposed to say that but im not aloud to say anything in the sale section. cheers
  19. im looking for a wheel build on a serious budget as im skint. i can just about aford a rear drilled rim bot was wondering what front rim and hub i should get and also what rear hub. Only the front one needs to be disc. I dont realy have an amount im sure of yet (as i currently only have 40 squid) but to be honest the cheaper the better. cheers

  22. having read alot of posts all posts about 20" OR 26" always seem to end up with mod bikes are so much better than stock. There have to be advantages to riding a stock bike. I was just wandering what they are? cheers
