  1. Right i run creepies on me mod and can get 6 - 8 months out of them. Normally wouldn't look @ the mod ones cos they are a stupid price but for stock they are actually cheaper than minions. Basically, is the wear rate realistic or do they bald in like 3 months?
  2. How can i put this... Oh yeah K H E The BMXers round here have a saying 'using KMC gets you in A&E' nuff said.
  3. If your arsed enough to strip & Re-build, BUY A NEW EFFING RIM. (and spokes)
  4. Nice find mate. Got nothing but respect for Mr Mac. You'll know this OBM, Is he on here? Not going to start stalking or nothing. Just a thought.
  5. problem with the truvativ is that u need the Truvativ tool for it http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?id=10150 making the total cost £50. the only difference I can see between the onza and the trialtech is £4, the cups on the trialtech come with loctite on them and the name (snobs on here have decided that onza stuff is a bit shit, which just ain't true) so go for either. The bearings in the Truvativ are not replaceable as well. EDIT: If u want a nice shiny colour what about the neon at £45. Spec says it should be good...
  6. Why can't u replace the axle? Ur LBS should have one. use one out of a 135mm if you have to. Once you unscrew the cassete (sp?) off a supermarket hub and the like they are just the same as ur 'monty' hub so pretty much anything will work. Tip though. u HAVE to use the cones (more importantly the little washers that sit around them) otherwise ur hub is buggered.
  7. Comeing from someone living in lincoinshire where it's generally flat as a pancake. (Where I live everywheres a f**king hill & disc rotors warp in a second) Whatever size u go for get one of these http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/Hope_Flo...tor/5360029666/ I will be when I eventually go disc & they come in nice pretty colours...
  8. I used WD40 when I did mine but I then re-bled mine with OIL(you know, that stuff ur maggie been missing out on) and did it twice so I guess it didn't matter ifthe WD penetrated the system.
  9. Looks like they do BMX stuff as well. http://www.industrynine.net/News/p2_articleid/8 Mod me thinks. AR you NEED to buy one of these things.
  10. ALL forks snap eventually. But I got a set of these pythons on @ the mo. I think, They weigh about 850g so which year are they. I know there the newer ones got lighter.
  11. Correct amundo. Deng only came out with a wide rim in 05. Booster wise I'd say stay away from 4bolt because then the brake is a pain in the arse to set up. A good, strong 2bolt (leave the SL shit well alone) is the best compramise IMO. EDIT: Also could try shaving approx. half a mm off of each pad so it clears the rim no probs.
  12. 1. Fill resovior with with oil 2. Pump lever 3 times & hold 3. Open bleed nipple 4. Catch excess oil on a rag 5. Shut Bleed nipple 6.Repeat Until Brake feel is hard The ONLY way to do hope brakes.
  13. Cheap jeans (think more tesco than topman) and ur tarty tee. SORTED.
  14. and no speed dial whats the point? Who is gonna skimp £2 Buy SD7 instead.
  15. Rob you're a d**k Will try the drop thing though some time. Edit: I DID upload me vid but only on trialstube, not in here.
  16. Have a wee look on here http://wirethreadinserts.co.uk/ 25 squid for an M5x0.8 kit (I presume uve fooked a maggie mount) Or tarty http://tartybikes.co.uk/product.php?produc...;category_id=34 eee...
  17. 26" biketrial game - PC - side view biketrial game - java/flash style game been on here loads of times as a repost pretty good 7/10 http://www.pepagames.wz.cz/uvod.htm Also theres this flash game called 'Pedal of honor' which also biketrials but I havent played it in aaages so can't get a link.
  18. Echo SL boosters are about as strong as an ice cube in an oven... If you've tried everything else try a new booster, without all the crappy cutouts.
  19. I dont get what you mean. The bit thats broken dosent have any threads, just a washer thats let go. (I think)
  20. Tell me about it kid. GUTTED
  21. So I did an up to front up 5 blue crates and sommet went bang and the brake locked rock solid. Got home and had a look and this is the result. Sorry about the crappy pics, it's the best I could do. Where the arrow is where the pad should be... (And the shiny bit is the magnet) The Pic ^ shows that the magnet has come out of where it's supposed to be. This Brake is less than 10 hours old. It's so new that the pads hadn't even bedded in properly. Do I have warranty claim or is it tough luck and a holiday from riding? All thoughts appreciated.
  22. 1.Me 2.My mates 3. DD Riders BTW Neons For a Budget Win. Think Half price heatsinks as long as u use tar.
  23. UPDATE: Just bought new drive, bars and pads for the money pit my bike. Pics sum time soon.
  24. I've had a tensile before as I said above and I want something different. I've ordered a TR Anyway so it's too late.
