  1. Desperately need the size of the aluminium washer thing off an HD bolt......need the diameter. Cheers
  2. 260gr i think... 740mm width, 10* upsweep, 10* backsweep, 31.8mm clamp.
  3. Either will do. I ran me t-poop with 170's with no issues whatsoever....loads of people do
  4. Big herne bay ride blatantly ( as ive just got told thats the best place to ride around these here parts... )
  5. Yeh the SD7 is VERY good lever....only changed mine as I snapped it in a bail Chainreactioncycles do them pretty cheaply I believe
  6. Weather looks nice here 40mins away to the south.... Hm, according to XC weather it may rain at about 4 Weather from BBC looks poo....rain at 9, 12 then 6. Still going though
  7. King Hubs Pro series Rims Nuc stem Viz pro 720 bars King headset Middleburns Super pro ti bash Dual RB designs levers Coust CNC'd pads F +R Try-all front tyre, Der Kaiser rear. Wellgo MG-1 Ti kit Reset Ti BB Triton Deema frame / Koxx Orange Sky/ Coustellier V2 Got 80% of that.... Needs new BB, Burns and rear rim
  8. To be honest, anything more than 160 is overkill on a mod if you run a Magura Louise, BB7, hope mono trial or BB5....they're just powerful enough with the wee discs. A larger disc can give you more bite though.
  9. If youre really syuck, I have one I could post
  10. Very good mate, impressed Music was rather nice too
  11. Shimano XTR lever is brilliant...along with some Odyseey linear slic kable ( or similar )
  12. Fair enough, better to ask then to find out the hard way
  13. It's called a Pidgeon, wheelswap, deadweight and a fair few other retarded names. I've been riding for 3 years now and cant do it over a foot So i'm not the best person to ask. Here's a link off trashzen to the move I *think* you means.... Wheelswap
  14. Nooo... first try whacking an imperial size allen key in, thats slightly bigger than the original size. If not, then try bashing in a Torx bit. One of they ^^
  15. So true.....build one...if you don't like it, build the other. I'd personally go for the Ashton every time
  16. He means angle-grinder discs... Well, a fair few, but as the diameter decreases, so does the area of the disc in contact with the rim when you grind. If its really wee you have to make more passes. Also depends if you sharpen it, what rim you use, and how harshly you grind. I'd say around 25 medium grinds maybe? My metal cutting last around 20
  17. Sik sounds a-ok...hopefully see you there Ryan
  18. Hmm, I know deore hubs use a 10mm allen key to undo the freehub? Edit: Quick google Search reveals this...may be of some use More Information Halo Spin Doc. Freehub – Halo Spin Doctor Freehub Replacement Guide- · First step is to remove the push fit cones from the axle, just pull off and put to one side. · On a hard surface, firmly tap the axle in a straight down motion to push out one of the bearings from the hub shell. I normally tap from the disc side first to remove the more difficult freehub bearing first. · Turn hub over and repeat to extract bearing on other side of hub. · With the hub shell free of axle and bearings, place an 11mm (or Imperial equivalent – 7/16”) in a bench vice. Do the vice up tight, it’s about to do a big job for you… · Place the hub over the allen key, disc side down and lock in the freehub’s backnut. When in securely, turn wheel anti-clockwise. It WILL be tight, it WILL make a loud crack as the tension and threadlock is broken. · With the backnut removed, turn the hub over and place freehub side down over allen key in vice. Repeat anti-clockwise motion with wheel to unthread freehub from hub shell. Expect effort and loud noises as before. Be sure to remove small spacer from hub also, it fits directly behind the freehub in the shell. The most common fitting error on these hubs is incorrect replacement of this spacer. DO NOT attempt to replace it over the backnut thread on the other side of the freehub. · Have a good look inside the hub now you have the chance. Remove any grit, dirt or old grease and make sure everything looks good to go. · Refitting Freehub. Re-assemble hub in reverse order to dis-assembly, take care with freehub spacer as mentioned before. Also, take care when re-fitting bearings, it’s not too tough, just be sure they go in straight…
  19. Nice video, I really liked it...especially good for a first(?) video....
  20. Yesh, nice contribution Pete....you can also use those for the reach adjusters on Avid levers, HS33 levers and the spring tension thingys for an Avid BB7.
  21. Yeh, basically im up in Kentucky on the weekend around the 26th. Anyone fancy showing me round? I'm staying at either Faversham or Seasalter....Heard Herne Bay is decent? So, if youre from round and fancy it drop me an email...pm me etc Cheers, Alex
