  1. Tis fair dude Erm, compress, drop your front wheel...rip up on the bars and pull the bike into you. Also, lean into the wall
  2. Noice, I says keep em like that
  3. You want a nice thin disc. Maybe try and bed the disc in on some granite? Apart from that...probably your technique dude,,,
  4. Forks look pimp, I says leave em
  5. Off topic...but my god that Triton looks amazing....
  6. As it will be a Tarty grind...and Tarty recommend a stone cutting disc.. I'd say that
  7. Sounds ace.....as long as the venues sound along with the weather its all gravy
  8. The tools, if ye need them, are at Halfords.
  9. Like muel says...the pawls are probably stuck down with too much grease. Flush it through with WD or similar solvent then lube with a thin oil. If all else fails, tarty will, I'm sure, help you out
  10. Heatsink Snowys and TNN LGM's are supposedly great on smooth. My coustellier CNC were pretty good on an atomlab smooth rim
  11. good plan. remember, bar angle, lever angle and the amount of stem stackers can also make a pretty big difference to the ride and feel of the bike.
  12. Nah, the reservoir is there to have a tiny bit of air inside...this air will just enter the system if ran upside down. So...its new lever ( or just body) or run your brake's Euro I'm afraid
  13. That adaptor effectively gives you a 185 rear brake...or a 205 front. You'll need to downsize your adaptor to a 185 front....or buy a 203mm rotor and take a washer out.
  14. Nah you don;t want any form of lubrication when two components are relying on an interference fit. There may be some kind of paste you could use though to help stop against the bi metal fusion ( not sure if thats only with ally and steel though? ).
  15. I think theyre discontinued dude... That one above looks horrible tiny...lower front end than I run on my +40 Coust and kind of freakish with the angle of the stays to the ground
  16. Nah the old ones are....new are 1090, 380, 72 +30....so really lush H.A looks mega slack on the one above though
  17. Looks ace, only thing I'm not into are the bars. Apart from that....great spec bet it rides lushly too
  18. nah...10w car oil tis what king recommends, and works ace in my hub

    Really liked that dude, music was cool...and the riding was sick
  21. The nuc mod stem I would have thought will be too high for your frame....I'd use a stock NUC stem with some nice high rise bars
  22. And it wouldn't be half as susceptible to fatigue as aluminium is. Probably not, aluminium has been used for a hell of along time as a structural member in Aerospace and the automotive before it ever got used on a bicycle. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen plastic very commonly used as an alternative material. Who knows though... No reason it will be inordinately expensive.....the Truv PC bash's are pretty cheap, certainly not a huge amount more than their aluminium counterparts. Yesh, forgot about the pedals.....top example. Like you say, it would be fine on something experiencing a relatively small moment. But that torque and thus shear force would be proportionally increased the longer the stem is.
