    Looe Ride

    Great video liam, editing skillz Cameras surprisingly good too, wish id come to that ride!
  2. Hey there, looking to get some new seals for my maguras...pretty sure the front ones leaking out of the lever, and i wouldn't mind having some spares anyway. Does anyone have the size please? ( I know its 14mm, not sure if i have to specify the internal diameter / thickness as well? ) and / or a place to obtain a relatively small amount of o-rings ( around 10 maybe? ) Also could do with knowing the size of an RB lever piston. ( Again, I know its 13mm ) cheers, any help would be much appreciated.
  3. It's possible. Best stem you could run on that GU I reckon, like craig said, would be the zhi/rockman/try-all 3d 127x127 stem
  4. Hey there, pretty bored after christmas, and just wondered if anyone fancied riding from down south? Was thinking Minions or somewhere like that, weather dependant of course
  5. Definitely just mod a BMX rim I reckon
  6. Win an Expert comp in the next couple of years. Go to Buthiers to ride. Get signed with a proper sponsor like Onza etc
  7. I definitely agree with what you're saying Ali, far too many riders jump on expensive well set-up high BB bikes, and i dont think its conducive for good all round riders. To be a really good rider I reckon a cheap low BB bike is perfect, also with ghetto bikes you learn all the aspects of maintenance and mechanics necesscary to keep a modern trials bike working properly.
  8. Realised I left a different number of spokes between the cross on each side....in stead of the usual 9 ( which I had on the drive ) I left 6 on the non-drive haha...Sorryfor the waste of time! :$
  9. Hey, I've seen some of your videos around looe and Minions, do you fancy riding there any time soon? maybe get a spot of filming done?
  10. Bugger, sorry to hear you won't be out Adam! Ride in the near future hopefully once the weather nears normality.
  11. yup, the GU and adamant are near identical geometry, but I hate the ride of the adamant more than the GU for some reason?
  12. Syked for tomorrow, anti-freeze bleeds are a-go! Sorted
  13. Bugger heard about this in your video thread, and felt really gutted for you! Hope you make a speedy recovery mate
  14. BB7's snap....Hope's get contaminated easily . Take your pick, that's my personal experience with both ( hence the front magura used now )
  15. God damn thats low!....well tempted to chuck my Maxxis single ply2.5 on the back now . have you had any pinches yet senor Mark?
  16. Ah you should have come up and yelled at me You coming down any time soon? haha, i really should chop them, looks so messy Only realise when youre staring at a high res photo though Ahhh she's a good lass though Cheers Matt, you still need to come down and have a bash on it Probably competition I guess....Giaco placed pretty highly on one in 08 I think. In all fairness I ride pretty much all TGS on it, so it'd be fair you saying that dude edit: just realised how ridiculously huge these pictures are...can somebody help scale them?
  17. I drilled mine out on a pre-07 bore cap. works fine.
  18. Sounds like it would take forever...... wait till you can grind it properly. You're fairly guaranteed that that wee dremel disc will shatter i would have thought
  19. Sorry Joe, direct link to an imagshack picture. Didn't mean them to be quite so colossal. Cheers bey
  20. Sure the backs got some kinda dimple on it?
  21. "Adding or subtracting a link in the chain will move the axle 1/2". Changing either sprocket size by one tooth is the equivalent of moving the axle 1/8" (4 mm). Thus, if I wanted a 5.75 gain ratio (75" / 6 meter gear), I might first try a 42/15, this gives a gain ratio of 5.77 (75.6" / 6.05 m gear). If the chain was too loose, I could take up 1/8" (4 mm) of axle movement by replacing the 42 with a 43. This 43/15 combination would raise my gain ratio to 5.91 (77.4" / 6.19 m). Alternately, I could get the same axle position with a 42/16 --5.41 (70.9" / 5.67 m). If I was not happy with these choices, I could add a link to the chain and switch to a 45/17 --5.45 (71.5" / 5.72 m) If I added two links to the chain, I could get the same axle position with a 48/18 --5.49 (72.0" / 5.76 m)" Might help someone
