  1. Oh god what have I created. Delete delete delete
  2. I'm confused, what are you trying to do? Make your bike heavier for training purposes? How long have you been riding?
  3. In a quizzical mood today, those with full time jobs, how many hours do you work a week and what is it you do?
  4. I run alternate steel and titanium bolts on my rotor, I found just ti bolts came loose all the time. The factory threadlock that came on the Hope steel bolts I use works really well. Also don't go too wild on the threadlock, if it drips onto the braking surface it will contaminate the brake as it's pretty oily.
  5. I use a Dickies redhawk and a Dickies branded version of what Robin posted. In only wear them occasionally when we are doing open hole rotary drilling but both seem to work pretty well. I guess getting the right size is key though, I did wear a Redhawk that was too small for a while and i had a wedgie all day long.
  6. Would also make a BB7 feel like absolute shit.
  7. My only bit of advice (missus isn't here to advise) is to get hold of the box of a really shit pair. Such as http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/4430243.htm?CMPID=GS001&_$ja=cgid:11081198345|tsid:41370|cid:150016505|lid:47487298622|nw:g|crid:37690722305|rnd:15660500538968141409|dvc:c|adp:1o13 Then take the GHDs out and put them in that box for extra blowjob points.
  8. TNNs came along. I swapped my LGMs for a set of koxx red pads (pretty similar to browns) and they worked about as well as the LGMs, although not as good in the wet. At the end of the day all the top pads are pretty similar, just have quirks that make them suited to certain people / set ups / riding styles. Having said that, I loved the koxx browns (ran one brown and one tarty adam black pad for aggges, awesome) and the reds too, but bought a set of yellows and they were the worst pads I've ever used (including Monty Orange pads). No matter what I did with them, they were shit.
  9. damn dude. Chill, it will all be just fine.
  10. Lesbians? They proper ones or good ones?
  11. Agreed, but whining on tf is also unlikely to help you earn hundreds of thousands of pounds.
  12. f**k it I'm just buying a whole new brake on monday cos this shit make a thug wanna cry suttin terrible.
  13. Dunno but I once happened upon a vid of her pissing into a pot noodle, microwaving it and then eating it. I think a bit of cum ear is the least of her problems.
  14. Lol at the Annette Schwarz pic :bow: Looks like she's having a mold poured for a hearing aid.
  15. Think thats what he's saying too. By forcing you to use an app, you can't run adblock and so you see more ads. The more people who use apps the better. You're both in agreement
  16. Nice pic Kinda horrible gap too, from what I remember the take off is angled and theres a step near where you lower your front.
  17. It's twisted side to side as you look from the front as well as up and down, so bending the rotor wouldn't work. It's very nearly there and runs through the caliper quite well, but have tried a number of spacers and there isn't a way to get it to run right.
  18. Just fitted a 180 rotor and it lines up better but still impossible to get it not to rub. I think it's a combination of things: A: The adaptor is slightly too thick. B : The caliper is twisted C: The forks also have a pretty thick mount which sends it slightly off. Looked at some old pads I had in that caliper (from an old fork) and they are worn at an angle, which would suggest the caliper is twisted. Any of these on its own is not really an issue but together its causing problems.
  19. Potentially, though tarty faced it and i'd guess it'd be relitively obvious if it was all dwagged when faced? Looks like the facing is paralell, didnt bore an uneven hole or anything.
  20. I used to swear by a BB7 but I snapped 2 calipers and wrote off 2 rotors in the process and couldn't be arsed any more.
  21. Looking again it seems like although the whole lot is too far inboard, something is twisted as the rotor doesn't run straight through the caliper, with a bit of a gap between rotor and pad at the back and not much at the front. Have I done gone twisted my caliper? It's not cracked, cleaned it all yesterday. Goddamn. Thought I got over this snapping caliper business after switching to Hope. Maybe not.
