ah nice one thought youd pop up Sweet, long as he gets it sorted

Hi there, need some help sorting a headset for someone... he says its the same as a Monty which is listed on Tarty as internal... but everyone else seems to call them semi-integrated. Its for a speedrace frame if thats any help, and no it isn't available normally so i can't call tarty etc. I'm 99% sure that the following headset would fit, but just to make sure... will it? Token Headset I know there are different angles which is the main reason im asking, and the guy doesnt have the tools to measure the angle. ( Campognolo 45/45 and some other 36/36 spec? )

I'll be there if im not up with family this year

As above, for that budget definitely Zhi frames...if you cab stretch to it the Echo 2011 frames look pretty epic for the price Ask Seabass about the Zhi

sorry was thinking that the top edge of the brake pad would be parallel with the seat stay that the brake mount is on.... of course it isn't so if you file as per video it should come out fine. Ive never heard of anyone facing brake mounts like that? I suppose it would be possible to set up in a mill but i certainly wouldn't try it! I doubt the warranty would be affected if you haven't removed much material , neither would the DT scratch.

No matter how much you filed the mounts, it looks like the mounting holes are off ( so like Tris says the brake mounts are probably welded wonky.

Edit was cool, some of those places looked great to ride... riding looks really dialled and chilled in that vid

True... and I think most of the weights posted on forum are a bit optimistic

www.simplybearings.co.uk is a good shout

Riding was great, really liked the edit too!

Looks much better....very smart

I'm sure that would just clog and deform under the cutter? Wouldn't it be way too soft? Should be fine fly cutting it though, or if you had a very sharp raked 2 flute cutter.

Literally just going to suggest that! Works really well too.

Heavy doesn't always equal strong.... I think the '11 pure is one of the best alround frames out at the moment personally; the bullet looks like its weighty just because its been cheaply made ( dropouts look quite slablike, as does the BB yoke ) but just my opinion....

Awesome! Motivation to get filming....

Faversham, but I do have transport this time Wish I could have come to Herne Today...I really fancy riding on thursday/friday maybe if anyones about

As above,. im out in kent and am actually mobile this time! There all this week coming from late PM Monday onwards, if anyone fancies riding please let me know! PM me for my mobile number, or add me to facebook if you will ( Alex Dark, suprisingly! ) Cheers, Alex

May have scared yourself and you cant make yourself commit? Ive been at just under 40" for sidehops for about 18months now i reckon? Cant seem to go any bigger.

Sweeet, good advice everyone! Im thinking something like this: hitachi or Bosch

right well i will be doing a fair bit of other work with it... ive done a lot to my mototrial project with a sanding disc, and a fair amount of cutting recently. I tend to side with you though luke, something like a "cheap" ( low-end ) Bosch seems like the way to go

As above really, my cheapy rolson grinder has just died so looking for a replacement. Needs to be really good quality and ideally variable speed. Any ideas? ( obviously 115-125mm size for grinding rims )

Dont name my bike anything, but Colin the Clio is a firm favourite hah ( as is Margaret the Mini for my mates clubman )
