  1. i had this problem before :/

    if you have a spare 8mm allen key then what i did was used the adhesive stuff they use in bathrooms to stick the allen key inside the bolt and then it unscrews like normal ;)

    Messy but it works :D

    and some time you can get your allen key back if your lucky :P

  2. I was browsing on Tarty for a solution to this and i found quite a cheap solution in a form of a new stem:

    First stem

    This stem only offers one length (120mm) with 6 Degree rise

    Second Stem

    On the other hand this stem offers a variety of Lengths that you can pick from best to suit you style and the geometry of you bike, but again only 6 degree rise only : /

    Third Stem

    If your willing to 'splash the cash' a bit then heres another option, the shorter version of the echo SL stem has pretty much the same rise (18 degrees) as what you have on your current stem; but is also 40mm longer than your current stem. The steerer stack height on this stem for the shorter version is 38mm, so this abolishes your problem :D

    Overall all of these stems offer what you need the most; 35 - 40mm steerer stack height. This solves your problem in short, lol. Although some maybe rather more expensive than others :P

    Hope i have helped mate (Y)

    ive asked all local bike shops and they dont have a chain tool that fits the KHE Collapse (which i have)

    Tarty are also out of stock and they said the dealer are out of stock aswell :(

    So i was wondering would anyone lend me the tool that does this it is the chain tool that fits chain of 1 and 1/8

    i can return the favour as i have all tools except this lol :P

    Im actually begging :$

  6. i believe rainbird lives in the west country, so im guessing he's not just gonna pop down for a quick ride in essex.... lolz

    I believe he would be talking about Mr.Rainbird aswell as Simps, Skoze and Mr.Rainbird all ride 24" i believe.

  7. Yerp lad try all back ones f!!cked though lol

    It's called spray paint lol.

    Considering in the quote above, I think he meant to say 'try-all black ones'
